This is the latest news on the puppy that I purchased on July 4, 2008 from Danielle O'Neal at epuppypro. My puppy is very sick. After the long holiday weekend, I phoned my vet on Monday, July 7, I made an appointment for the first available that they had which wasn't until Thursday, July 10. Well, it turns out I could NOT wait for the appointment time to get here. I had to take her in as an emergency and it's a good thing I got her there when I did! She is very sick. She was diagnosed with a compromised immune system, STAPH infection on her skin, severe ear infection and an upper respiratory infection. All due to her immune system being compromised because of the stress she has been under because of the things she has had to endure in her short little life. She also has a case of ACTIVE Spirochetes -- a type of RARE intestinal bacteria that is usually suspended but not active if even at all present. She was negative for parasites and worms...thank goodness! My vet says that we are not out of the woods yet, however. He told me that due to her living conditions and being transported probably in close quarters with many other dogs and puppies that she could come down with parvo within the next week or so, as well as kennel cough. We have to wait and see what happens because if a puppy is exposed to these diseases the incubation periods range anywhere from a few days up to a few weeks depending what they have been exposed to. The worst that could happen is that she could have been exposed to distemper which is very nasty and there is basically no cure. I am really worried because the first signs of distemper are the upper respiratory symptoms she is experiencing now. He told me that it could be the beginning of distemper. The doctor put her on an antibiotic (Simplicef) and an immune system booster (Forti-Flora). I had already been feeding her Danactive each day since I got her which my vet said is excellent. If all goes well, I don't have to take her back to the vet until next Wednesday. He told me the signs to watch for in case she takes a turn for the worse. My vet warned me that puppy mill puppies -- especially bulldogs are especially prone to have genetic problems and that we could face some genetic nightmares in the future. PLEASE BEWARE of epuppypro. If you plan to purchase a puppy -- do your homework...Research the person you are buying from!
