Tim Smith at Cedar Creek Farms or Smith Family Farms also sold me a sick puppy on Monday, April 20. We live only an hour away so we drove to pick up the puppy on that Monday night and he brought her outside on the front porch to let us see her. She was very small and I asked about the picture that was posted online and he said well they look much bigger online and he tells everyone that. Then I asked about her eating habits and he said that she was smaller than her brother and that she wasn't eating as much as him. Then we left and went home. She didn't really act normal that night because she was in a new place but the next day she started to be energetic and didn't eat anything. She would only drink water. Then the very next day she starting to throw up a white foamy liquid and move her head from side to side. Then we contacted the vet and they said to take her in so we did and her temperature was at 103.9 and was sure that she probably had the parvo virus. She had to stay over night which costed us $302. Then she was getting better so we brought her home the next afternoon. She ate one time and then didn't eat anymore. We took her back to the vet on the following Saturday morning and they said she then had coccidia which is a parasite in her lining of her intestines. They gave us medicine for that and that cost was $40. Then on Monday she was not moving, just laying around, her eyes started to roll into the back of her head so we took her back to the vet and then rushed her to the emergency vet where she had to stay overnight in an incubator. That costed us $189. Then we had to take her back to the regular vet so that they could observe her. Now today they are saying that she is still not eating, has bloody diarrhea, isn't drinking water, and is not very alert. They are giving her until the end of the day and if she isn't any better we will probably have to put her to sleep. I have contacted Tim Smith 3 times and not once has he responded back to me. We have no spent 530.00 in vet bills and we are not done. We have only had our puppy for 3 weeks and we will have spent more than we paid for her and she hasn't had a single shot. Research that I have done and that the vet has done says that these viruses take 13 days to come out usually so that if the symptoms started to show before the 13 days of having the animal then they had it at the time they were purchased. I have had to sit and watch my poor little puppy, Bella who had dropped to only 1lb go through this pain and take all of this medicine just because this man doesn't know what he is doing. Please do not buy animals from this man because it seems that I am not this only one that this has happened to. I am not going to sit back and do nothing about it because its wrong and cruel! If anyone else feels the same way and would like to contact me please feel free to do so.
