Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear this -- bless her little heart. That poor baby. At least she's resting in peace now.

Good luck in your search for a new baby.

[ClosePuppyMills]

you purchased your puppy from a puppy mill. this is a place that never lets their mothers out of their cages...ever! They are cuel and deprive their animals of exercise and medical care and love. Their goal is only to make money. Never by a dog off the internet or from a pet store. They are only coming from puppy mills. Please go to a shelter and adopt a dog that needs a home. If everyone would do this, the puppy mills would be forced to close up. The only online place to buy from is petfinder.com. All these animals are in shelters and need to be adopted. That sight is safe. Other sites such as next day pets etc aren't. The breeder didn't want you to go there because you would see what the mother really looked like. Google puppy mills and see what pops up. Then join in thepuppymillproject.org and help to close them down.

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!!

Sad to hear you had to go through all this, have you asked pet connect to reimburse for vet bills? I would at least have an attorney draw up a letter on their letter head and see what kind of response you get. If pet connect allows on line reviews, I would be bombarding them to help others know what they could potentially be getting into. jmo.

There are MANY places online that you can leave your story and tell others NOT to buy from them. These stories actually have tags that everytime someone searches for petconnect, these stories will come up to warn them. I'd check into that if I were you.

Although this thread is over five years old, it's still good to bring up old threads with bad breeders and puppymill information, if nothing else the thread can then be tagged for future reference.
