I got my malti-poo puppy, Paislee, from Adorable Petz (now they have changed their name to My Spoiled Puppy) in San Antonio Texas on Monday October 13th. My fianc (now husband) picked her up from the breeder's house and brought her home to me in Austin, she was absolutely adorable, the perfect addition to our little family.
On Wednesday the 15th, she was having some diarrhea and wasn't eating much, I thought it was probably just change of food and surroundings that may have made her a little sick to her tummy, but just to be sure we took her to the vet for a check up.
When we got to the vet he wanted to test her for Parvovirus so we let him, and unfortunately it came back positive. He said if we wanted to try and save her life we needed to get her on an IV with supportive care immediately and we said lets do it!
Our vet assured us that she came from the breeder with the parvovirus because of the incubation time of parvo, we have a letter from our vet to prove this, along with our vet bills. When we called Sylvia Guerra & Joe to ask them what they were going to do about this they told us to bring the puppy back and they would give us a new one.
Parvo is an incredibly contagious virus that is in your home and/or anywhere an infected puppy has been for about a year. This would mean that a new puppy would have it as well. Not to mention, we had already fallen in love with our sweet little Paislee and we didn't want a new puppy.
So we went through with the treatment and even with only a 50% chance of survival she actually did it! She survived parvovirus! We picked her up from the vet on the Monday the 20th, and we didn't even care that we had gotten a sick puppy, we were just so thankful she was alive!
So she slept at home with us Monday night and Tuesday morning she came to work with me, if she wasn't at the vet she was with me. About the middle of the morning she started becoming very wobbly & shaky, she couldn't walk on her own very well. I called the vet and he said bring her in immediately, so I did.
When we got to the vet hospital and saw the vet he said it is probably one of three things, either she was going have a very long recovery time since she was so small or she may have another issue (that I can't remember what's called) or she may have the distemper virus. Our vet said to just watch her closely and give her all the support we can, so we did.
After another week or so with multiple trips to the vet, she was diagnosed with distemper, she had all of the symptoms. Which there again, she had when we got her because of the incubation time. The vet said she had about a 5% chance at that point and we said if she is not suffering than were willing to give her supportive care forever.
Paislee finally passed laying in my arms on the evening of Monday November 3rd and we buried her the very next day. My husband and I were married on November 15th, what was suppose to be the happiest time in our life ended up being the hardest time in our life.
I have posted my story, along with my contact information on multiple different websites and I have gotten many responses from people that too bought puppies from Adorable Petz and have somewhat of the same story as me. I have all of their contact information and we would all love nothing more than to pursue something legally against this business.
Adorable Petz is selling sick puppies with fatal viruses and diseases that are way to young to leave their mother. Not only are these sweet, innocent puppies suffering and dying but the poor people are suffering that are bringing a new family member into their home only to find out they are sick and probably going to die.
