Thanks for updating us. Little Buster has stolen our hearts and we are all so worried about him.

I pray you get some answers soon.

Im releived to hear he is at the vets and they are running test, My continued prayers are with you all

busterbrown1 · 02-18-2009, 07:43 AM

Like my wife was saying. He is so up and down. Yest when we switched him from Baby food to can food he hit the floor. as soon as we switched him back yest afternoon he was alot better by night. He walked around last night and past the food better then he ever has. Little runny but you could tell it was starting to get harder every pass. He was up most of the night. I guess was more rested andhad more energy since we took him off the can food. He was very alert this morning "compared to the way he was" and seemed to hold himself up better. He has stayed more consistant since we took him off the can food. I It is starting to seem like the same story everyday though. I hope the doc will do some good test today and find out how to make him better for good. I hope it's not the shunts but if it is then it is. there will be heck to pay for the breeder but we will not turn our backs on him he will be apart of this family either way.

Ladymom is right, Buster has stolen our hearts! I am so glad he is at the vet, and that you are taking the time to keep us updated - thank you! Wishing Buster all the luck for his results today, and sending him a big hug and kiss!

BonBon · 02-18-2009, 08:21 AM

I'm praying all goes well for little Buster at the vet's today. Sending lots of hugs your way!

maxmom · 02-18-2009, 08:32 AM

Like we've been saying all along, Buster has been extremely lucky to have found you , you and your wife are doing a great job and trying all that you can possibly do, I'm sure not every body would had been as dedicated as you two, they would had just taken him back to the pet store and get a refund.

I really hope that Buster is doing better and that his tests turn out good. Hopefully he will just need to be fed every few hours for the next week or so, until he eats more on his own. Definately try the canned pumpkin when his stools get runny. It works wonders, since he is too small for metronizonale. I am not big on giving my little one that since he is so tiny, but it might be an alternative if the pumpkin doesn't work. Good luck and hang in there!

I'm looking at lil Busters pic & is it just me or does he look younger that 8 weeks?

busterbrown1 · 02-18-2009, 10:23 AM

I got off work for lunch at 11:00 am. I called the vet as soon as my husband picked me up. They said he was doing ok and that the vet was going to be in to take the blood work shortly and they would call us back. We ate lunch, went to the pet store to talk to the owner and while we were in the store the vet called. Buster passed away before they could get the blood work. I am so heartbroken I can't put it into words. I feel guilty that he was there all by himself when he died. I cannot go back to work I am so distraut. It is amazing how that little creature grabbed a hold of my heart. I am going to do some real soul searching for the next little while and try to decide whether I want to try to get another dog or not. I'm not sure if I want to risk putting myself and my family through another experience like the one we have just went through. We appreciate all of your advise and good wishes. Thank you so much for your support and understanding.

BonBon · 02-18-2009, 10:27 AM

Oh, I am so sorry! My sympathies are with you. RIP sweet Buster.

OH NO!!! Poor baby, he was definitely very sick.....

Please stick around - talking to us will help you heal....

I think you were meant to be his Momma and Dadda - you loved him very, very much...

Please get a refund of $ from the Pet store and never go back there. IF you decide to get another, please check out the For Sale thread here on YT - as there are many, many wonderful breeders here on this site...

So sorry for your loss

...there is a RIP section here that you may want to post on, so we can all pay our respects to the little fella that has captured many hearts

I am so very very sorry. Buster had a lifetime of special love for the short time you had him. You and your wife did everything you could for him. Hugs and prayers to you and your family

Brodi mom · 02-18-2009, 10:32 AM

Im not going to say a work about the pet store... but get karyo syrup and get a syring and put some in his mouth and let it get on his gums the gums and tongue will let the suger get into the blood stream fast.. always keep that on hand.. then go to the emergency vet even if you have to travel... your puppy proably came from a puppy mill and needs a vet soon..
