But even in those few days I had gotten so attached to her I would have hate to give her up. But I feel that any reputable breeder would find it in there heart to offer me my money back just to help a little with the cost. But when i informed her of the heart murmur she just said thanks for letting her know and she would get her dogs checked. I'm just gonna do what I can I guess and make what little time left Maggie has the best I can

HEAR ME. AND HEAR ME WELL. IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT. Not taking her in in 48hrs and your darling gal having a heart murmur is NOT Your Fault. It would not have changed the diagnosis one bit. But what one wonders is what Vet did actually examine your pup prior to placement and give a good bill of health.

I truly am so so Sick of hearing of Bad Breeders here on YT, that pass on not only the Financial Burden, but the more Huge Toll of Emotional pain on the owners.

My heart goes out to you and your Gal. You are the best Mom to her. Finding out what is wrong and doing your best in concert with the specialist's to give your gal the best chance of quality of life.

We will be here for you to support you as you and your Gal go through life. I believe the Universe loans us, for just such a short time some special dogs to love and to care for.

(((((((Hugs to You and your Gal)))))))))))))

Thank you all so very much for all your sweet and encouraging words! I am going to give the breeder til tomorrow to contact me back and then I am going to do my best to let EVERYONE know not to buy from her. Thanks again. Your words are so kind and caring and really mean alot. Will keep u updated.

[Sammy Mommy]

I'm so sorry you are going thru this. Sending prayers to you and your sweet Maggie.

This is such a sad thing to happen to your poor sweet Maggie and to you. I live in Georgia and would really want to know who this "breeder" is so I can warn others looking for a Yorkie to love.

[Yorkiemom1]

This breeder is going to find out a very sad truth....it is going to cost her dearly, trying to skirt around her responsibility for the life of this baby.....She will be ruined and loose any and all credibility, if she has managed to hoodwink the public into believing she is trustworthy at all. She will truely rue the day she abandoned a critically ill baby that she was responsible for bringing into the world in the first place. And "gemy" is right...YOU have NO fault in this tragedy.....you are the one that is standing by this baby girl supporting and loving her until the very end....a time limit is put on a contract in order to keep the buyer from taking the puppy home, and then doing something that injurs the baby, and then tries to blame the breeder for the injury and wants to return the injured baby for a refund. IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE CONSIDERED A TIMEFRAME WHERE THE BREEDER CAN SIGH A SIGH OF RELIEF, THAT THE PERSON FAILED TO TAKE THE BABY TO THE VET SO, "OLLIE, OLLIE, OXEN, I AM HOME FREE!!!": TOO BAD, SO SAD, ITS YOUR PROBLEM NOW!!! This is obviously something this baby was born with, and the breeder is absolutely worthless for not accepting responsibility for that dying baby.......Again, I am so sorry for you and what you are going thru now....

Oh, I am just so sad. Poor little Maggie! She didn't deserve this. You have been her angel. You have shown her what it feels like to be loved and secure. You've been her voice and advocated for her. It's so hard to understand why things like this happen. I am sure that seeing Maggie suffer just breaks our Lord's heart. He didn't cause this. She is the product of mankind's selfish and irresponsible nature. The Lord loves and delights in all of His creation. And He loves sweet Maggie too. Please know that you aren't alone. Our hearts are breaking too. Hugs to you both.

Thank you all again so much; you just don't know how much you help. I'm not able to sleep so good tonight. I keep checking to make sure Maggie is still breathing All the fluid pill seemed to do so far is make her pee a bunch. Even though the cardiologist said she wasnt in "pain", I can't stand to see her like this. If she's no better by Wednesday night I'm going to have to put her to sleep. I just can't handle it knowing she's struggling to breathe and get comfortable. My heart is as broken as it has been in many years

My little Kiwi developed CHF when she was nine years old. I haven't been able to get the sight of her struggling to breathe and the image of the fear in her eyes, even though nine years have passed. Kiwi was able to come out of CHF for a while. We care so much about what you and your little girl are going through, and we are here to listen to and support you. I have seen dogs beat the odds and live far longer than doctors thought possible, even those with CHF and my littlest one, Gracie, who lived several years longer than expected with a collapsing trachea. You are a great mom. I know it's so painful for you to see Maggie like this, but I also believe that miracles happen. Please don't give up hope.

[chachi]

I would give it some time also. Prayers for you in this time to help you with your decision

[Jewels30624]

I will definitely try to hold off as long as possible but any possibly of her suffering I just don't think I can bear. Keeping my fingers crossed and faith from the good Lord above to do what he sees fit and just keep her out of pain. Thanks for all the encouragement.

I am so sorry this is happening.

That's what the fluid pill is supposed to do, and how it will help her to lose the excess fluids. Give her some time on the medication to allow her body to rid itself of the fluid. She should start to feel better soon.

I sure hope so. But I fear that with her heart in such bad condition the fluid will probably just build back up. Hoping for the best tho. Thanks!

[rubymoon2072]

i just wanted to check in on maggie and you. i hope you both got some much needed rest.

[Verbena]

I am so very sorry to hear that. Any breeder with a sense of compassion would be there for you. My heart and blessings go out to you and Maggie.

[LunasMomma]

I'm so sorry to hear of Maggie's diagnosis. I know that you'll do what is best for her, whatever that may be

If you are on facebook, please feel free to send me a friend request http://www.facebook.com/tracy.b.ash.7 I have a ton of dog lovers and advocates on my friends list and between all of us we can make sure that this greeders business dries up to nothing, if she chooses not to make things right. I sincerely hope that she at least offers you a refund, though that won't help your broken heart. At least you would recoup some of the funds spent at the vets/specialists. Bad breeding makes me so ill, and this is why, nice people and innocent animals suffering

You and Maggie are in my thoughts and prayers
