Please try to remain calm....arrhythemias in young dogs are not uncommon....almost a "normal abnormality".....skipped beats are not an unmitigated death sentence....it scares the daylights out of you, but it may actually be nothing out of the parameter of norm! It scares you to death, but just have a professional/specialist assess the condition and then if it needs further addressing, regroup your thoughts, take a deep breath and step forward in that direction!

Next.....contact the breeder you got your baby from. Reputable breeders will step up and cover this within the realm of (minimum) a year health guarantee.....if there is a condition that warrants concern, the breeder should be covering the costs of diagnosing and treating the issue....and/or refunding partial cost of the pup.....unless you would want to return the pup for a full refund, which most people dont! Regardless, if this is a heart condition, the breeder needs to know about it....she needs to review what she did, week by week, of the moms pregnancy, if meds were given, anything that could have affected the developing pup....and she needs to be watching the breeding pair.....separately, they may be fine breeders, but when bred to each other, one of those billions of genes from each of those breeders, combined and "poof", got a problem! Breeder needs to know about this in case it turns out to be something that needs addressing!

Please keep us informed of what happens!
