| Today Has Started Out Horrible! I work in a high school and there is a student in here talking about a chiuaua puppy she purchased in a pet store and that he is very sick and doesn't have much energy and has diarrea and blood in his stool. OMG I just wanna throw up right now. And all she is concerned about is how much money she is spending on this dog at the vet . . . I totally want to say, bring him in, I'll take him. He obviously needs to be cared for. I asked her if he eats and she said "barely" I told her it was important for her to get him treatment ASAP! I seriously wanna cry right now!

| Don't you think she should take him back to the place where she got him, and ask for assistance in caring for this pup? |

| It is sad because the only reason she really bought the dog is probably because it looked good in her purse. She doesn't have enough brains to know that you need to take care of it.

| She said she called the pet store and they told her after she gets the diagnosis they will pay for some of the medical bills . . . She is really aggravating me right now . . .seriously! I just gave her the name of a really good vet here in Town and that she needs to get this dog in ASAP. This vet will also be able to work with her on paying for his services. I really hope she takes my advice.

| Why do parents allow kids to buy living accessories? I am sorry that you had to listen to this person, but hopefully her parents will also, and get the pup to the vets asap. |

| That is what I asked her and she said that her boyfriend's sister was there and that she takes "good" care of him . . . Trust me, I'm really sick to my stomach thinking of that poor pup . . .and I really need to try to stop thinking about it . . .it's just so unbeliveable to me, truly unbelievable!

| Just wanted to give you all an update. The student came to me this morning and told me she had brought the pup to the vet I recommended and that he kept him overnight. The vet told her the pup had parvo. She is going to return the pup to the pet store. So sad, very sad. She didn't even seem to really care at all.

| Oh no. I suspected when you said bloody diarrhea that it was probably parvo. The petstore should have all their animals checked because liikely that all were exposed and could get sick. Wonder if animal control or the SPCA could do something to keep them from being able to sell anything until all are checked and cleared and the shop is completely sanitized |
