I know I couldn't. She didn't have it right, and that would bother me. I would let her know this because anytime a yorkie is coughing with a tracheal sound it should be within the diagnostic rule outs. You're not alone though, my last stupid vet gave me Claritin for Barney for his cough and said it was allergies. I already knew he had CT and was fuming.
Try to be at peace with all of this. Your boy is running free and you're not to blame at all! |
Thank you again for your kind words. The reassurance has been needed. I know that his case was severe and only being 3 years old was mostly genetic. It progressed so quickly. He was fine one day and gone 2 weeks later. Crazy to comprehend. I hope to contact the "reputable breeder" I got him from and let her know.
