I recently bought a baby yorkie from petconnect.com i did my research so i thought. i offered to fly to missouri where the are located and was told it was safe to have her flown as it was a short flight to michigan. From the day i had her she was at the vet. I called petconnect and told him she was sick. I was told the health guarantee didn't cover hypoclocemia (I never told them what the illness was, he said it right away). My puppy passed away after 6 days (all of which were at the vet). I informed them of her passing and he demanded an autopsy, which I refused because she had been through enough. My vets professional opinion was that she had seizures before she was even sent, thus her little heart could not take anymore. She did not pass away from hypoglocemia though she did have it, she was on glucose iv's the whole time. Please, if you are buying a pup do not buy from these people...not only am I sad over my puppy but I also spent over a thousand dollars on her vet bills. I am looking for a new pup, I was looking for 6 months before I picked "Chloe"....I live in Michigan so if anyone has any ideas let me know. I will drive to surrounding states and don't really care about the price, if I did I would have gone through with the autopsy and sued petconnect blind. Thanks for letting me vent!!
