Puppy born 9/11/07 rec'd 11/6/07, taken to our vet within first 5 days. Puppy was severly undernourished, in fact puppy was attempting to eat own feces within first 48 hours due to severe weight loss. Puppy is now gaining weight under veterinary care but vet advised that the shots received prior to her arrival were done too close together and therefore have to be redone to be effective, they were also done too soon. Puppy has skin lesions on elbows, on left ear and dermititis on belly we're having to treat with animax ointment.
Although we aren't having great difficulties with puppy the vet has said if we hadn't rec'd her and gotten professional care when we did, she would be in much worse shape. Furthermore, she needs to be placed on a special diet and under vet care for next several weeks to fully recover not something one would expect from a "purebred" from a supposedly "reputable" breeder especially at costs already incurred simply from purchase.
