Problems with # 2.

[Dzbabykel]

I also just want to add that you are doing such a great job taking care of Basil, I know this has go to be so hard on you...God bless

[AllDogBoots]

I just watched the video of your beautiful little Basil. I'm so sorry you are both going through this and I'm hopeful the specialist can help provide some answers and relief.

[TxVicki]

Prayers being said for Basil and her Doctor appointment this morning.

I pray they can do something for her.

Will keep watching for updates on her.

Just got home. Without Basil... I am so confused and sad, and upset. My little Bay is going to be getting sedated so they can do a rectal exam. They couldn't do it with her awake because she was not letting it happen. My tears are flowing down my eyes so much. The lady I got her from called me on the phone as I was in the vet office and she said; "I talked to my husband and we did everything we can do, this isn't something we need to worry about. She had an exam by the vet and she was fine. We do not need to be involved any further." The vet walked into the room at that time and I had to get off the phone but I told her I would call her back. The vet told me that she is 100% obligated to give me back my money, and that the Florida Puppy Lemon Law protects the buyer 100%. Well, back to Basil's situation. I told them about the band I felt the other day and they said no, it isn't supposed to be like that at all. So they are checking to see if she has an obstruction, which is a tight band that doesn't allow the feces to get through or in her case come out correctly and without pain. To know that Basil is getting sedated really scares me and upsets me. ALOT! I hope that the lady I got her from knows she isn'g going to be able to walk away without paying up. I need my money back to persue further testings. If this is an obstruction, there is therapy. Balloon therapy. They would go in where the obstruction is and stretch it out with a balloon to get it to a normal size. They also said that this is very common in little dogs and yorkies particularly. But there is hope that she can be cured! I go to pick her back up at 4 p.m. What to do besides sit around and cry. I know I can do some laundry that has been dirtied in her kennel. Clean up a bit around the house, and keep my mind off of this stress for the time being. I will update you all when I pick her up to find out more information. What the next step is.

It seems I remember you posting earlier that the "breeder" you got Basil from was a friend of a friend or sister or co-worker or something. Is she an actual breeder or did she just breed 2 dogs she had access to? Did you get any kind of contract or health guarantee or any results of health testing? Is Basil registered with the AKC? This is just so wrong on so many levels. I hope somebody else on here in your state can help you with determining what your rights are on getting your money back. In some states you might be asked to return Basil, but from what I understand, in other states the breeder would have to pay the vet bills. Try not to stress about the money right now. Just focus on getting Basil well. It sounds like the vet is hopeful for a positive prognosis and we are all keeping our fingers (and paws!) crossed and praying for you both!

I am so sorry about Basil. If there is a lemon law in FL then regardless whether you got a health gaurantee or not you are still protected. Let's talk about you. Pull yourself together. I know it hurts inside but your little one needs you to be strong. Tears are going to be inevitable but your have to remain calm. If the vet said this is pretty common in small breeds, it sounds like he has been there and done that before. Do you have confidence in him? I am praying for you and Basil, alot of us here are. Keep up the postings and may God Bless you!

[Sherri82]

She is not registered yet, I have the paper work. But it will be through the ACA. {American Canine Association} The lady isn't a {breeder} She has the mom and dad, and she thought the mom was fixed and oops found them locked up together. Out came a litter of 4. Basil being the runt. Florida has one of the best Lemon Laws. I do not have to worry about that at all. I am pulling myself together... At least trying too. Just looking at the clock. Thank you everyone again for all you have helped me with so far.

Sorry, but that sounds like a load of BS - she would know if the female was spayed or not, unless it is not her dog, living in her home. I just did a little research and it looks like you are fortunate enough to live in a state with very good lemon laws. I'll be watching that clock with you, hoping everything is good with Basil.

You don't have to tell me twice! But she was given the mother from her friend, because she couldn' take care of her. She was too much work. The dad was also given to her because the lady how had the mom thought she could handle it again, and nope, the boy was also to much work. They are not related the mom yorkie and the dad yorkie. They are both registered ACA. But oh well. People lie. People steal. People cheat.

I hope your day goes quickly and you get some answers. Prayers and good thoughts for you and basil

And people give you worthless registrations!

[Sherri82]

Well, that isn't a worthless registration. A lot of peoples pet at either AKC, or ACA. AKC is for breeders, and ACA are for back yard breeders, which in my case is the situation.

[Sherri82]

All the paper means in hey I have a full breed Yorkshire Terrier, I can show her and win all sorts of trophies and make my dog a working dog or what ever you got, not hey I got a mutt. But, really I haven't even bothered to register her because I got her for my companion. Papers aren't important to me. I do not want to show her, I do not want to do anything except come home and play with her and love her and watch her grow into this beautiful Yorkie! That's all! Also, having her paper is the only way a breeder or a backyard breeder is legally allowed to sell you a dog. And a cat also.

I'm hear waiting with you until 4pm. Try not to focus on anger, but put that focus on Basil and her healing. It sounds like she's in very good hands.

Great words I've been thinking about you and Basil all day....
