Well it does sound like he is resting and slowly getting better.

About the Albon, I'd have to check my records, but I do recall on TJ's paperwork from the breeder, that he did 3 or 4 rounds of Albon before he was 13 weeks old (1.8 lbs)

I too had such a horrible scare with TJ. He was about 13 weeks (1.8 lbs) when I got him and about 5 days of having him he would have have these horrible 'episodes'. He would be out of it, you could tell he was not feeling well at all. And the noises that would come from his tiny little body, I thought there was a monster in the house somewhere, that's how loud. He would not eat, drink or play, he would just lie there. Sometimes he would throw up that foamy yellow stomach bile, and I would be so upset, b/c he would throw up just before I'd have to leave for work, and I just felt so helpless. But for the most part his episodes were those loud noises and then mucus poop. I was at the Vet every other day for months!!!! We did all sorts of test, etc... It took months and those months were so hard, I was so worried, but we finally got him to a good point. TJ has a form of IBD, he will always have it, but for now it is under control and I do have a Happy 7 lbs. little piggy - "Episode Free" for almost a year :)

He has gotten a parvo test and it was negative. The vet said that he seems to be doing a little better today, but I do feel like a real sucker for taking him at 6.5 weeks. I can't help but feel guilty. If I signed a contract with this lady it seems I dont have many options...they are legally binding, right?

What does your contract say?

Also, follow what (jrsygal37) said, check into what your state has in place as far as puppy lemon laws?

don't feel guilty if you didn't know you didn't know.
I am not sure about the contract but I know you can report her and that may help other pups. Send her copies of all the bills and ask her to help with the bills. that is all you really can do.

I think I may have my boyfriend call and confront her. I'm so emotionally involved in this I think I wouldn't be able to control myself

I'm sorryyou've had such a rough experience with little Riley. Thank goodness he is doing better. I would definitely send your breeder the vet bills and request compensation for payment since he did get sick within the 72 hour period and hope for the best.

Many folks here have learned you need to question the dosage of all medication administered to these little ones as sometimes it is for a much larger dog and they can become sick from literally overdosing. Let's hope Riley is well on the mend and he can be home with you again soon and just be a puppy and grow.

Please keep us posted. I will be thinking of you and Riley....

Thanks, you guys are wonderful :)

I think you've convinced me that I need to confront the breeder, no matter what. The worse that can happen is she does not compensate me and I can do everything to prevent her from selling an extremely young puppy again.

HI I was just checking to see how Riley is doing and how you are holding up?

He seems to be doing a little better each day; we took him out of the vet hospital and hes eating and drinking on his own. I am worried about one thing though -- my parents were watching him yesterday while I was at work and I think they overcompensated for the hypoglycemia by giving him TOO much NutriCal and he was shaking all last night... He hasn't stopped, but he sure has been wanting to run around and play a lot. I guess energy is a good thing when he's been SO sick, I just dont want him to over exert himself or crash from the sugar high... :(

I think I have read in many threads that if you give nutrical when it is not needed it can do more harm than good.
If he is eating and acting well then you don\'t need to give it to him.
I am glad he is getting better. Did you get ahold of the breeder?
