How is your puppy doing today...

linda44 · 02-16-2009, 05:44 AM

Hows your puppy doing. Thank goodness someone who really cares bought the little guy. Your doing a great job.

phfgkl · 02-16-2009, 06:02 AM

I hope your little guy is doing okay, I didn't read through all the posts, but, actually doing figuring(he was born on my b-day), he was actually 8 weeks when you got him, which although isn't great, it's a little better. Some breeders will let theirs go at 8 weeks if they're bigger. I usually always take mine in to be checked out within 72 hours of getting them. The karo syrup always works for me with my little girl(she's older but very tiny), she doesn't lick it off my finger, but, I put a little on my finger and rub it on her gums.
I will go back and try to do more reading to at least check on your little guy. But, the weight seems good on him for his age which is a good thing

Just wondering how he is today . . .hopefully he is much better!

Well!! We had a great day with Buster and we went on to the night and he seemed to be getting much better but he still would not eat. He was walking around the house more checking out his new home and drinking plenty of water. The only prob was he still wouldn't eat and he was vomitimg every now and then. We called the vet back and told her and she said as long as he is drinking water and urinating he would be just fine until morning. We all went to sleep and my wife woke up several times making sure he was drinking water. She finally when to sleep for good around 2am. He woke us up this morning crying loud. We went to check on him and he was limp as a noodle. Couldn't hold his head up and taking short breaths. It was 4:45 am at this point. We picked him up and put a blanket around him and started all over again with feeding him sugar water by hand and putting syrup under his tounge. We called the vet and she said have him there by 6am. We dropped him off and had to leave him. He looked very sick like he may not make it. This is the worst experience I have ever been through and hope he is ok. My wife almost didn't go to work. She has been in tears all morning. I just don't understand. The Breeder tried to call us back last night and we didn't return the call. I fig he wanted us to bring him back and we fig the best place for him was the vet. He said that he was having to feed him the Hawian delight before he was sold so I fig the pup already had some issues. He said the store forgot to give us the diet plan. My step mother bought a silky a yaer ago from the same store and same breeder and she said there were no diet plan papers. I think this guy is concerned that he knew the pup was sick. Im not talking bad about this guy yet because I don't know how he is gonna react when I call him after I find out what is going on at the vet. I will see his true collors at that point. Maybe he will be a nice person? We will see. My family has already grown to love this sick pup in one day so I hope is ok.

It sounds like his blood sugar was down. He is in good hands now. I am praying for little Buster

manolos mom · 02-16-2009, 06:56 AM

Prayers headin your way......please keep us updated....

Ladymom · 02-16-2009, 07:00 AM

I am so sorry about your puppy. What a heartbreaking experience when it should have been such a happy one.

Will the pet store cover your vet bills?

I'll be checking for updates.

busterbrown1 · 02-16-2009, 07:08 AM

I just want to say thanks to all of you. You all have made this experirnce easier than it could have been. We didn't know a thing until I did a search and found you guys. Once again Thanks for all your help it has been greatly appreciated.

My papers that I signed say that he will not take care of any vet bill. I don't know if he has that in there to save him in court and he will? Not sure at this point. I am gonna wait till I get some news from the vet before I call him. I don't want him to get involved just yet.

mkawczak · 02-16-2009, 07:11 AM

Keep up the good work. Buster you hang tough little man. Hugs sent to you ans yours!

monika87va · 02-16-2009, 07:21 AM

I'm so sorry for your little one, I hope he pulls through.

Oh, dear. Missouri doesn't have any puppy lemon laws, either.

You did the right thing and took him in and not back to the breeder ! I would have did the same thing
