 Worried about Bentley
Hello again,
Well I just wanted to let everyone know that I did get my little boy ( I actually got him yesterday - thursday seemed like eternity!)
We brought him home and he adjusted so well. He is such a good little puppy. At night he cried for about 15 mins in his little bed, then he slept through the whole night. He's been eating well and going to the bathroom (he goes on the paper by himself) and he's just a loveable little thing. Right now we are calling him Bentley (because that's the name our breeder chose) unless we change it soon. Anyways everything was going great until we took him to our vet today for a checkup. The vet told us that one of his testicles isn't out yet. He said that it's not unusual for that to happen, but that it's not good (especially if he goes in to get fixed). Now Bentley is 3 months, and he said that it could come out any day now, but after 4 months it's rare that it would come down. Also he checked Bentleys heart and said that he seemed to have an irregular heartbeat but he couldn't tell if it was serious or not (he also said it could be because he was nervous and anxious). So we took him to another vet, and he had a ECG test, and the vet noticed that it didn't look 100%, but couldn't tell us again if it was serious. She said she was going to ship the results out and let us know in the next couple of days. Meanwhile, we don't know what to do! The vets both said if it was serious we should call the breeder and do something, since he does have a guarantee. He also said that we shouldn't have paid as much as we did (and we paid alot) because we would not be able to show him if his testicle does not drop (not that we would show him - but still). Has anyone heard of this or been through something similar? I hope Bentleys okay...
