Thank you! Yes, it breaks my heart to hear her whining in pain and not be able to "fix" it!

Thank you!

I'm embarrassed to say that I'm one of those people who know absolutely nothing about taking or posting photos! Would love to put on some photos of Mia and Pepper!

Thank you!

Thank you for the well wishes and prayers!

wrong post, sorry

Pam I am glad she came through her surgery. Sending good thoughts for a fast recovery

Galen stayed with the breeder until he turned 2 lbs. He is now a whopping 3.6 lbs lol . . . I make sure I alway have Nurical on hand. And make sure he eats twice a day with a few treats during the day. I am very on top of his eating and what he does. No jumping on and off the couch. The little one can get hurt really easily. Good luck :)

Thanks for all the good thoughts for Mia! She is still whining a lot
but is much more perky than on Saturday.

Kyra weighed a pound even at 12 weeks. A tiny seems to gain more slowly than average dogs do. If you decide to take her just be sure she eats regular meals and keep nutrical on hand. Make sure she isn't allowed to jump off or on things. Also I would not leave her alone until she is at least 2 lbs. Best of luck.

Perhaps the best approach I can take with this situation that I can offer is that I am a breeder and if this were one of my pups in a litter I produced, it would not be going anywhere, nor would I take a deposit on it nor would I sell it at this stage and I would not promise it to anyone at that pont. If there is something wrong with it I would much rather not have something go terribly wrong in the hands of the pet owner who has now fallen dearly in love with it.
My protocol in such a case is that I keep them see how they do have my vets over time check on them and do a wait and see approach. If things seems to be ok getting well over 6 months of age, my Vet would do the spay/neuter, see how the pup does under anesthesia then if all is going well, proceed from there for a pet home. Time, after it is born and living/thriving under its own life system will often tell both my Vet and I more about the possibility of issues or not and particularly undergoing anasthesia for a normal procedure such as spay/neuter/baby teeth removal will often bring out any issues that may be underlying. Also bear in mind not all life threatening issues are something that can be tested for, often it is a wait and see.

If you decide you want to go ahead, I would definatley get the vet's name and phone number and talk with the vet (not hired staff that can read the records) personally. Maybe even see if they would fax the records to you.

Remember "Believe all of what you see and only half of what you hear."

Please accept my admiration for your humility kindness and wonderful support for such a little soul. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers...
