thank you, i will just keep my fingers crossed and take it from there.

I've got my fingers crossed for you too. When are you having the blood work done?

tomorrow morning. thanks again. but i may not even get the full results until monday, cause of the weekend and all.

I know I came across as heartless, but you have to understand that this is common in rescue as well. People who return a dog to a responsible breeder because of a defect are not heartless. People who take the same defective dog to the shelter because they are too chicken schitt to euthanize the animal are. Imagine you have been walked into this loud smelly place... no one even hardly calls your name.. your owner didn't disclose the fact of the health issue KNOWING full well that it was there, and as soon as it is spotted in the shelter the dog gets slated for euthanasia, if it even makes it into an adoption run to begin with(most don't). The dog dies in the arms of strangers. THAT my dear is HEARTLESS.

I love my leaker, but trust me, I could have had so much more fun with a dog that didn't leak. All this time I have spent cleaning I could have spent training or playing with my dog. Sadly it does become a burden after a while, no matter how much you love the dog. Will I give the dog up, NO. She will die in my arms knowing that I loved her.

Testing is expensive, but you have to keep in mind that the cost of the testing is probably nothing in comparison to what you will spend caring for this dog over the course of her lifetime, if this is something that can't be cured.
This really hits the nail on the head. If her bloodwork comes back normal, which it may, mine always does, Then go for the X rays. If her kidney is not attached it will not get better.

Trust me, I counsel people on RESPONSIBILITY all the time, but if I PAID for a dog, and it was unhealthy with a lousy prognosis, I would return the dog. The breeder created this, not you.

Oh, and I hope they find it, and that it is something trivial. Good luck.

You are right, I am heartless. I am so hearltess I hate it when someone knowingly supports a backyard breeder. When someone knowingly takes a puppy from a year old dog. I am heartless. The dog should be your problem. You should have to do with all the problems.

Is that better???

BITE ME GUSTER!!!
HOW IS THAT.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Isn't amazing how when someone feels threatened they immediately get rude and obnoxious. Couldn't even spell my name right.

You have a dog that has serious problems. Probably temperament wise as well. Just too young to see it. From your posts, I don't believe I will be the one doing the biting.

I think mr. guster is a SELF RIGHTEOUS PIG. maybe because i didn't get one of your dogs. sorry about that. i guess everyone is a backyard breeder in your book.

Thank you again for the name calling. I am sure a moderator will be around shortly.

Not everyone is a backyard breeder. However, ANYONE who breeds a year old dog(actually younger than that since she is a year now) is KNOWINGLY putting out bad dogs. You are knowingly supporting this individual.

HELLO, YOU'RE THE SHIT THAT STARTED IT. SO F___ OFF ALREADY. YOU REALLY ARE A BASTARD. THERE IS NOTHING ELSE WRONG WITH MY PUP. as i stated earlier she does have a good temp. like i said your just jealous i did't get one of your dogs.
GUSTER/GASTER, WHO CARES
