Where do i begin? I purchased my english bulldog "george" from ira at the canine corral on march 6. George was born december 18... From the day we took him home, he had a very bad gash under his neck. My husband and i were told that it was from the collar being on him to tight during traveling from the breeder to the petshop. We bought him anyway and they sent us home with ointment... 206 weeks later we were finding blood in his urine and the odor was unbearable. We took george to the vet and we were told that he had a urinary track infection which is very rare amongst male dogs.
Our vet prescribed clovomax for 6 weeks. After three days of being off the meds, the uti came back. The vet decided to up his dosage and we tried that for another 3 weeks. Well, needless to say this went on for about 3 months. We contacted ira and informed him that we thought the problem was bigger than a uti and was told by our vet that george needed surgery on his bladder. Ira insisted that we go to his vet or he wasnt paying for it. Dr. Miller is a holystic doctor and my husband and i were very skeptical about holystic medicine. Dr. Miller put george on so many different meds that were required to be put in his food everyday for six months along with a very expensive diet which only dr. Miller sold the food. Aswell as having to bring george to his office once a week gor 3 months to do acupuncture on his bladder. It was very costly and our bank account was diminishing. Ira didnt pay for a thing. Finally it got to the point where i demanded george be fixed at iras cost or i was going to file a report with the better business bureau. Ira failed to answer any of my calls and allowed janine to call me and give me the run around. I spoke to her once and threatened to call arnold diaz from shame on you at the channel 7 news in newyork and have them do a report on him... She told ira this and she came back with an offer of sending george for an exray with contrast for dr. Miller to look at before doing surgery. She gave me the run around and never set up the appointment. I finally let the devil come out in me and phoned dr. Miller. I demanded immediate action or i was going to leave george at their office and not to return him until they fixed him. So yesterday, 3/14 dr. Miller performed exploritory surgery on george for free. The outcome? Not good. He said georges bladder was oozing with sludge and that he removed most of it but we will never know if he will be cured. He said once a week for atleast three months, we have to drop george off at his office for injections directly into his bladder to see if the rest of it goes away. The way i see it? DIALYSIS!!! TELL ME, WHERE am i going to get the money for all of these treatments??? This ira guy will not take responsibility. I have no choice at this point. My back is up against the wall and my account is empty. I have this wonderful dog that i refuse to lose. I just want him better. I need help. George is due for his first shot next week and im not going to be able to pay for it. This man needs to own his mistakes!!! He is selling sick inbred dogs. What do i do??? Im hopeless. At this point if he doesnt take on the bills im going to have to put my dog to sleep. Not to mention i will lose my wonderful pet aswell as about 10,0000... HELP ME PLEASE!!!
