Hello everyone... going to try to make this as short and to the point as possible. When I met my boyfriend he had a 9 month old EB. Little did I know that he got the pup from petland !! Well about a week after I met little Jeffery (the EB), he literally dropped dead. Come to find out the pup had a severely elongated soft palate, and the emergency vet determined the cause of death to be heat stroke (I believe he suffocated to death which caused his body temperature to raise). Looking back at the previous vet records from when the pup was only 12 weeks old, the vet stated that she was unable to visually see his epiglottis without manually pushing the soft palate away. I guess what I'd like advice on is whether anyone thinks we have a right to go after Petland and their horrible breeders/brokers?? I ask him all the time why he would EVER EVER get a dog from a pet store.... especially an EB.... (some men need so much guidance..... ugh...) Please let me know what you guys think....
Thanks!
Thanks!
