This was an emergency and the people on here recognized it as such and gave the needed advice it was not followed and the pup died something people have seen on here before and the reason they gave the advice they did. I dont think this person needs advice on how to choose a breeder. They need to get their finances in order and priorities in order and learn how to take care of a pup the good and the bad. Then and only then should they consider getting another pup |

Even the best of breeders can send home a pup, that within 24-36hrs later is sick! The point is, puppy owners should educate themselves on distress signs in puppies. Well quite frankly distress signs in all dogs of any age.
The point here was not what *if* anything the breeder failed to do, or the pet shop wherever she got this puppy from. The point is - new owners need to educate themselves on how to care for a puppy. if you have the least bit of doubt or concern you can call your vet, or hey better yet go in on an emergency basis. The other more than moot point is, you go to a board and ask for advice, hey why not heed that advice when it is GET to a VET now.
