new pup dead.

[mr2jan 2]

hi all.the stroy goes...i bought a 14 week old bull greyhound puppy a week ago.he seemed fine at first, but this weekend on saturday evening started being sick and wouldnt eat.sunday he had gotten worse and kept us up most of the night. at half 12 sunday lunch he bought up some blood and the vet was called,she said to feed boiled chicken and give him as much water as we could get in him.he wasnt having any of it and we had to syringe water in2 his mouth. by the evening he was passing blood both ends and we was really concerned through the night we got him to the vet and they kept him in on a drip.this morning i phoned to see how he was and said not much had changed... she called back at 10 and said she went to assess him and he started fitting and that she called to ask to put him asleep.but died while she was on the phone to me.im gutted it turns out he had something called Leptospirosis.the vet said he had it a while.i phoned the breeder and told him this as i only had him a week.he didnt give a toss to be fair.

my girlfriend is more cut up about this than i am. but if anybody knows of anyone selling bull greyhound pups please let me know in hope it might cheer her up a bit, i dont want to travel to far though.cheers jan.

[Guest bullterrier]

DID YOU GET HIM FROM ANYONE OF THIS SITE MATE SORRY ABOUT YOU LOSING YOUR PUP ATB.. .JOHN

[FightTheBan 1,147]

Lepto is carried by rats mate.

Was he inside or out.

[dogsbollocks58 36]

how far will you travel mate, im in south wales very good litter here, bull cross collie greyhound. if your interested phone

removed number please use pm , if unsure why this has been done i will explain via pm traceyg

[Guest deerhound hunter]

sorry to hear that mate,

[Snifferboy 659]

Thats awful can you find out if any of the others in the litter had it? If so surely the breeder should do something about it?

[Hannah4181 260]

How sad.

 

Had the breeder vaccinated the pup?

[SMART DOG 340]

at 14 weeks old it should have been vaccinated if i buy a pup and they tell me its been vaccinated but don't have paper work i jab the pup again to be on the safe side

 

dont think advertising your pups on this thread is a very thoughtful thing to do

[Hannah4181 260]

That was my point SD . . . . if it hadn't been vaccinated then the breeder is to blame here.

you mate be entitled to have a refund for the pup and the vet bill as it comes under the sale of goods act, i no it sounds silly but if the something happens to the pup within 6 month of having it, you can take them to the small clams Court, the seller has to prove that the pup was healthy when they had sold the pup. witch mate be very hard to prove. sorry about your loss, all the best in finding a puppy

[dog fox 16]

make sure every thing is treated for the virus as another pup in the same pen or house might go the same way

[CorkyJohn 808]

The breeder was obviously a shitbag keeping unvaccinated pups til that age, if he couldn't sell them by 10wks they should've been jabbed. You've learnt a hard lesson mate & if I had a pup here I'd gladly give you it for free. I'm sure someone can help you out, there's plenty folk breeding who can't find homes for all their pups.

 

Dogsbollocks58, the lad has just lost his pup & if you're trying to sell him one you're a f*****g arsehole. If you're offering to gift him one I apologise

[toby1066 413]

well said mate some people dont care about pups once they have left and they got the money spent

[Cold Ethyl 63]

Where did you get the pup?Im so sorry to hear this you must be gutted
