my puppy died of pneumonia Hi on the 7th our 4 month old puppy was rushed to the emergency vet for pneumonia and died within 3 hours. It was devastating. I'm trying to figure out what happened. We got her on the 27th of dec and noticed right away she did not seem well. We took her to the vet because she had a cough and they said " she has kennel cough it should resolve itself" the above shows it did not. I should have been getting a second opinion but i just continued to monitor her. The breeder has turned out to not be so reputable and is refusing reimbursement as she states the dog had it's shot for that. I just need advice on what to do. |
OMGoodness, how very tragic for you. I am so sorry for your loss. I have no advise on what you can do at this point, it's not like the puppy dies 2 weeks after getting her the breeder can say the dog was in your care, they don't know what you subjected the puppy to. I never heard of a breeder giving puppies shots for kennel cough. I would be pointing my finger at the vet. I would think there are meds that could be given to a 4 moth old pup for what the vet thought was kennel cough. I also would not use this vet again. We have to have faith and trust in our veterinarians after all, they are our babies doctor. Hopefully other member can offer up some advise or suggestions for you. |
I’m so sorry. That has to be absolutely devastating. Sadly kennel cough can turn into pneumonia. Antibiotics should have been given because it doesn’t resolve itself. The vaccine doesn’t cover every strain and it sounds like she came from the breeder with it. You might want to speak to a lawyer. Was there any kind of contract? |
Oh I am so sorry to hear this. |
How sad for you and the little one. |

GREAT ADVISE! Everyone wants to blame the breeder. I get both sides of this. I really do. As a breeder we give 48 hours for vetting.....a Breeder can not know where people take puppies when they leave, where they sleep, how they are eating, if they are getting enough water. Some people take their brand new (to the world, from breeders homes) to Stores, and Friends, Dog Parks, to Meet other peoples dogs....the list goes on and on. I'm not saying this person did that. I am just saying, I get both sides. |
I am so very sorry for your loss! (((hugs))) |
