That is BS and I was just pointing that out. She did what a good owner would do and did NOT make the pup sick in any way.




Now to address this new post... Except she came on here and reported them as being a bad place to buy and I imagine put reviews up elsewhere. She is doing the responsible thing and warning others and is now, in fact, trying to PREVENT others from buying from them with these poor reviews. You are being very unfair by putting MORE guilt on her. Obviously she feels bad enough already about it and has admitted her mistake, as she should, but you don't need to put the weight of ALL their dogs on HER. That just isn't fair.

This is the second time she has bought from them.
I want people to feel sorry for the dogs suffering because of breeders, like the ones she used twice, not to feel sorry for the people that buy from them... that knew better.

Then you should be feeling sorry for her pup too because it was sick. I personally DO feel sorry for her because no one wants their baby to be sick.

Sure it was the second time she bought from them and yes there were red flags and she should have made a different choice, but what is done is done and now we're trying to help her through this hard time for her baby. That still does not constitute putting the weight of ALL their bad practices on her shoulders. That burden is theirs to carry. She obviously feels guilty for her part in it and is now warning others. Personally, I think we should be focusing on her baby. Know anything about sniffles in dogs?

I think you took my quote from your original post to literally, I simply highlighted the portion to use it as a generic statement, I did not disagree with your entire posting.

I do feel that she is to blame for the sickness of pups coming from Millers and BYBers, anyone that purchases a pup from one is responsible for the suffering of innocent dogs. I made my first purchase of a yorkie from a Byber and have learned from that experience, she (my dog) led me here to YT where I learned from people THE OP INCLUDED the right way to go about helping to end PyppyMills and Back Yard Breeders. I was inspired by people like her to go into rescue and educating people about PuppyMills and BYBers and actually, I at one time was responsible for the continued suffering by buying my dog, but you can bet I didn't EVER do it again.

She knew better and I am deeply saddened that this was the course of action she chose to find a dog for her home. It is one thing to not know what you are getting int, it is VERY hard to do diligent research on a breeder, but someone with the knowledge and resources that knew better gets no sympathy from me. Mia does, she is just an angel caught up in this mess.

My apologies for copying your original post, I was simply trying to use it as a general statement.

I don't know anything about sniffles in dogs, I don't buy dogs from Byb'ers more than once.

Is the snotty nose clear or colored? If it's white/yellow/green then it is indicative of another infection and needs to be evaluated.

Just wondering how that shows any sympathy towards the sick dog?

It is not intended to, it is meant to answer a question posted to me previously.

I show sympathy to sick dogs by donating my time and money to their recovery and by helping educate those that will learn about ways to end suffering of innocent animals and also by continuing my education about said matters and never giving up or giving in.

[Rhetts_mama]

Ok, gottcha. You wanted to get another dig in at the OP.

This statement from you is what confused me:

but someone with the knowledge and resources that knew better gets no sympathy from me. Mia does, she is just an angel caught up in this mess.

[Furbaby Friend]

Well I gave my opinions on the sniffles already, so I'm out as this is no longer constructive to the poor pup.

To the OP: Hang in there and take care of your little one I'm sure she will be 100% in no time. Continue to heed the advice given to you about her illness here and especially from your vet. Don't mind anything else.

I feel sympathy for both you and your pup. Thank you for acknowledging your mistake and being brave enough to expose yourself to this. It has been a learning experience for many I'm sure.

The puppy was 1.1 lbs when she took it to the vet and it got all those vaccines plus rabies. I would find out from the vet if the distemper vaccine was the modified live or the recombinant format.
With the nose discharge one cannot rule out that the vaccine could have caused distemper depending on which vaccine was give.

If you are confused by my statement than I assume you are confused by a lot of simple things.

Mia is the only one innocent int his situation.

Do I want to dig at the OP? Yes
She bought a dog from a Byb'er I can't stand that she says one thing and then does another. to me that makes her actions no better than those breeding for greed.

Man it sure must be nice to wake up every morning and know I could do no wrong and had the right to sit and pass judgement on others

Elaine, when my Pee Wee was a puppy he had an upper resp. infection that sounded like what you have described. We ran a humidifier with him, and he would come in the bathroom when we showered for the steam. He also had to have medicine for 21 days.

[hartygirl]

I'm not without fault, I have a lot. I'm not trying to pass judgment and I'm sorry for any underhanded comments. I don;t know what crawled under my skin.

My drive and passion comes from my own mistakes in how I have handled situations with yorkeis, so it is only fair for me to say that the same could be true for the OP.

If it were not for my experiences both bad and good in dealing with my own pups I would not be where I am today.
