I was responisble with this Dog - I found out she was sick - took her to the doctors and spent the money to get her well - took one step further went to the top Specailist to access the LS and if she was pregnant god forbid my doctor and i discussed how she would have to end the pregnancy.
This isn't about being pregnant, this isn't about being spayed for me this is about a dog with LIver Shunt and I brought it to the breeder's attention and she basically said Not my dog. |
I know you are upset. But YOU bred a girl who has a LS without testing her. Her dogs might all be clean of LS.... it can skip generations. Why are you giving her such a hard time when you did the SAME thing? I think you should just take care of your LS baby. You have a long and hard road in front of you now. She needs your attention the most right now. Spend your time trying to help your baby.
When you first posted about your pregnant girl acting strange..... I knew those words all too well. My first ever yorkie did that but she did it at 4 months old. I contacted her "breeder" or broker..... whatever she was and she denied it too. I didn't want money back because I would never return her... she was MINE and I wanted to care for her. So I did what I could for her. SHe was 3 lbs and inoperable..... many many shunts and died at 2 years old. It was a long 2 years and she is always in my mind. After her is when I started breeding and believe me I did my research this time and I dealt with breeders who had great reputations and ones I spoke to at length. It still does not guarantee I can never produce a sick baby but I am doing ALL I can to ensure I am responsible.
