Please pray for Paisley
 

Hi everyone, as alot of you know we just got Paisley about 2 weeks ago. When we first got her we noticed her ears were bothering her. I asked my breeder about this and was told she had mites but was given revolution to get rid of them. I was upset that I wasn't told about this before getting her since I do have other pets. However, I let it go and figured she'd be ok. However, after going to the vet yesterday its been discovered that Paisley has two ear infections. Her one ear is so bad that it has swollen shut. My vet was very upset by this and didn't know how to treat her because of her size and age. She said the type of infection that's in Paisley's ear is very dangerous and can cause numerous other problems if not taken care of right away. She said this infection was in there for some time and thats why it was causing so many problems now. She said she has never seen a puppy Paisley's age have such a bad infection. :(

She told us we were going to have to take Paisley to a specialist because they could not treat her the way they needed too. (age/size) Our vet called the specialist to see if we could be seen right away. This doctor is a few hours away and was nice enough to tell my vet what to try first with Paisley before having us make the trip. We were given seven differen't types of medicines. No that is not a typo. She has to have four of the meds put in the very bad ear and the other three meds in the other ear. We have to clean both her ears twice a day for two weeks and if they don't get any better, then we have to take her to the specialist. :(

I'm very upset about this and can't imagine the pain this poor baby must be feeling. This truly breaks my heart that she is having to go through this. I can only hope that all the medicine works and this infection goes away and a specialist is not needed. I'm also terrified that she could possibly spread something on to my other babies. I feel very overwhelmed about all of this right now. I just want her to be happy and healthy. She's such a pleasant little girl. Please keep Paisley in your prayers. We would appreciate it so much. Thank you for listening to me.

aw i'm so sorry Paisley has such a bad ear infection. i hope it clears up with all the medication your giving her.

Poor Paisley!! I hope all that medicine helps her little ears. I hope that you don't have to see a specialist and let it clear up on its own.

Poor little angel. Sure hope all the meds work and she doesn't have to see the specialist.

On the other hand, you need to have a stern visit with the breeder you purchased her from. In addition, you need to document this entire situation and prepare yourself to go to small claims court. I would not let her get away with this, for your sake as well as that poor baby who's been sufffering for heaven knows how long.

Keep us posted.

Poor baby!!! Hopefully the meds will work quickly and give her some relief. Since it's an infection hopefully your others won't pick it up. I will pray she gets well soon. I hate seeing these babies suffer.

Oh no Dina I'm very sorry! Poor little Paisley!:( I don't get why you weren't told it was this bad by the breeder and why she wasn't treated before she was sold to you, if the vet said it could have been prevented. I hope none of your other babies caught anything. Did you have them checked out? Do you think that maybe that is what could have caused Snoot to act that way the other day? Just a thought. I am soo sorry, please let us know what happens. I hope she gets better. I think she will cause she has a good mama to take care of her.

Poor Paisley. :( I hope the medicine works for her and you don't have to take her to the specialist. I think I would be having a "talk" with that breeder like others have said on here. I'm sorry you and Paisley have to go thru this.

Thank you. ;)

Thank you and I sure hope the meds help too. ;)

im so sorry i hope she feels better !

what did the breeder say ?? i see she has puppys for sale now i hope they dont have the same problem

Thank you. ;) As for the breeder, I really hate to say anything bad about her because she is a YT member. She was very good with me during the entire process before getting Paisley. She said she had no idea she had this infection and apologized about this mess. However, if Paisley has to see a specialist, I guess true colors will show and I only hope she steps up and takes care of the bills. I honestly do feel this is her responsibility since Paisley had this infection before I got her. I just truly hope nothing gets to the point where this breeder and I are not getting along. Right now I only care about Paisley getting better. Thank you for reading my post and thinking of Paisley. ;)

Hi and thank you so much. I don't believe Paisley can pass on this infection but I am concerned about the mites being passed on. :( However, all my other babies have revolution on them now, so hopefully they will be ok. Watching them suffer is so hard. I just feel so helpless. Thanks for thinking of her. ;)

Hi Sarah, the breeder said she didn't know about the infection. I truly hope this is true and as of now I do believe her. However, she did not tell me about the mites until I got Paisley. Yes, this upset me because I do have other furbabies and mites are so contagious. However, Snoot, Trixie and Pia have revolution on them now, so hopefully they won't catch anything.

I'm so sorry I never posted about Snoot's update. With everything going with Paisley I totally forgot. My vet believes it was a seizure. :( Since it was his first that we know of, not much can be done. If they would start to happen all the time, then he would need to be put on medicine. Between Paisley and him, I can't stop crying. I just hope both are ok. Thanks for thinking of us. ;)

Thank you for your kind words. We appreciate your thoughts very much. ;)

Hi, she has apologized to me for everything. She said she had no idea about this and never would have sent Paisley if she knew about the infections. I do think she's a good breeder and I don't want to talk down about her. I honestly believe this was a mistake. I have no idea about her other puppies and I wouldn't feel right to discuss them since they are not mine. As far as I know, they are very healthy little boys. Thanks for thinking of Paisley. ;) We appreciate it so much.
