Our new puppy was diagnosed with severe heart murmur at the vet's examination when we brought her home. She will be having open heart surgery at the end of this month, at considerable cost. Our breeder offered to take her back, but we were already so attached to her, so the breeder gave us our money back, toward the operation. Health insurance was out of the question though.
If the operation is successful (it's risky because of her weight), she will live a long and healthy normal life.
Good luck with your decision! |
I commend you for not returning your puppy and giving this baby a chance for a happy & healthy life. I would have done the same thing, once they are home with you, it matters not if it's a day, a week, a month. they worm their way into your heart, you just can't give them back, you have to heal them. You had a good breeder to return your $. I will keep your lil girl in my thoughts and prayers for a successful surgery.
