I am sobbing my eyes out right now...my heart hurts so bad!! I was excitedly expecting an email from my breeder today to tell me whether she could fly Maxx home sooner then we planned and when I opened the email I was told that my baby boy Maxx had died through the night!!! I am so devastated!!!! He'd had surgery last week to fix his biligual hernias and to neuter him. I spoke with the vet who performed it yesterday and she reassured me that he'd grow up to be a healthy little man. I will copy and paste the email I just received for you to read. I am hurting so much!!
Morning Tammy,
Gosh I don't have a clue how to give you this news.My
brother works for us and helps us with the
dogs/puppies. He brought max in yesterday early
afternoon, said he wasn't 'Looking right'. He was in
respiratory distress, I gave him a broad spectrum
antibiotic and some nose drops due to the horrible
congestion. I'd planned to take him to the vet this
morning, he'd not made it through the night. I called
the vet, she asked if he'd had all his 'puppy shots'
and yes he had. She said there's an upper respiratory
virus that is fatal if not caught in time. We checked
him the evening before and he was playing and doing
all the' feisty puppy stuff'. He was fine Wed. evening
and was looking like he wasn't feeling really good
just a little before my brother brought him in to me.
It turned out to be a lot worse than any of us
thought. Puppies just can't fight even colds off
sometimes and it must have turned into pneumonia, his
lungs filled up with pus and he just died. He didn't
appear to be in any pain, just some diffuculty
breathing due to what we all thought was a regular
cold. He'd always been 'just the picture of health.
I'm feeling SO HORRIBLE about this as I would with any
puppy, we all do and it's a very rare thing to lose
them at that age.
Wayne and I will let you have any of the other males,
priced at the regular of $950.00, we will let you have
your choice for the same price as Max was. We have
four and they are all very tiny little guys, and will
be very small adults as well. Two were born on 4-17,
Jessie and James. Then the other two, travis and
Justin, were born on 4-13. They will be old enough to
ship by the same time you wanted Max, or really close
anyway. If you want to go on Puppyfind to see more
pictures of the they will probably be close to the
front pages.
*I'm not sure if I should give their names or not, so I'll leave that out. I don't know what to do. She attached along with the email pictures of the other puppys but I'm not sure if I want to get another baby from them. More importantly, they're not Maxx!! I have stared at his pictures for so many hours and dreamed about meeting HIM!! I want my baby boy!! I don't know what to do. I put a deposit on Maxx...not sure if I should just ask for it back and try to find another furbaby somewhere else. Don't know what to do! I'm hurting and in shock!!!! I want my Maxx!! I can't help but feel if he'd been home here with his Mommy that he would've been OK!! How my heart is breaking!!!
Be at Peace My Beautiful Little Maxx
