HitRmisS Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 My dad just called from the vet and said he was just getting worse so they are having him put down. For those who didn't see the other post. Him that I am referring to was my chocolate lab puppy, he was 8 weeks and tomorrow would have been 2 weeks that i had him. Thursday he started gettting sick so I took him in and they found giardia in him and he tested positive for Parvo. He was supposed to have had his first round of shots and come out of a parvo free enviroment according to the breeder but it was only 10 days from when I got him to when he startedshowing symptoms barely long enough for it to incubate. But anyways we got him what treatments we could afford and I have been nursing him around the clock since then but he has only gotten worse, and that me brings me back to today. Thanks to everyone who had him in your prayers. This is a pic of him the day I got him [image][/image] R.I.P Beau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tedicast Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Re: I just got the call Sorry to hear that. It is hard to lose a pet. At least he isn't suffering. Hope that gives you some comfort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogdoc Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Re: I just got the call sorry about the bad news. Parvo is one bag bug. I would think the breeder should refund your money or replace the puppy. todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownie65 Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Re: I just got the call Yes,sorry to hear this also. I am in agreement that you should talk to the breeder. A refund may be in order. I know it doesn't make up for the loss but the puppy should have been healthy coming from a good breeder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really am afraid to get another one anyways because I know the bacteria can live in the house and yard for several months but we were hoping to at least get the refund to cover some of the $200 + dollars in vet bills.

archerjg Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Re: I just got the call Very sorry to hear that. I would call the breeder back and demand your money back as well as proof of the shots that were given. Again very sorry to hear that prayers go out.

slugshooter Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Re: I just got the call I lost a dog to Parvo myself, horrible thing for dogs to have to endure. I didn't have money for a vet, so unfortunately, she suffered, and I didn't have the heart to put her down myself. Sorry for your loss. I only had her for 2 months and I cried like a baby!!

[/ QUOTE ] Thats kind of the sitiation I was in. I'm a college student and am not currently working. I couldn't afford the best treatment but I spent everything I could trying to make him better and it didn't work. Luckily my parents offered to pay to have him put down because I couldnt have done it myself and couldnt stand to watch him suffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
