Pinky, I have come to this thread quite late but I want to share with you how sorry I am for both you and Charlie. Such a difficult thing to go through. I am praying for your situation and for Chalie's return to health, if she ever was.

Anxiously awaiting your next post as all the others are.

Please let us know how she is doing when you have a chance, I'm pulling for the both of you - you really seem to have done a lot of growing up in the last couple of days, I'm proud of you!

Pinky I am so sorry. I hope and pray that Charlie will get better quickly. Hopefully a new vet will have a different perspective and some fresh ideas as to what's wrong with her. You are both in my thoughts and prayers.

Just got back from the dog park and read all these posts. Pinky, I am relieved to know that you have a friend whose uncle is a vet who can help you and Charlie. See, all the positive vibes WORK!!!

Go and get some rest. Don't forget to eat properly. Charlie needs her mom to love and care about her, and of course, to clean up after her

Best wishes from me, Nickel and Nickel's papa.

I took Charlie to the new vet and she has to be hospitalized for at least 3 days. She looks absolutely horrible. I seriously thought she was about to die, she was puking, had a fever and was the absolutely most heartbreaking thing I have ever seen in my entire life. I so badly wanted to feel the pain for her. He did bloodwork and almost all of her organs are failing, the only thing that's ok is the liver is what the vet said. Her red and white blood cell count is super low and he said they need to double if she has any chance of making it. He said her survival rate is about 20% and that I should consider putting her to sleep. I feel sort of selfish bc I know she's in a terrible amount of pain, the poor thing just lies there and cries and pukes..it's HEARTBREAKING, but I can't give up on her. If God forbid Charlie dies I want to know that I did everything I could for her. I won't be able to live with myself otherwise. I can hopefully bring her home Monday and I just pray she can make it. He told me if I brought her home today she would die within 24 hours :(

I seriously can't believe this happened. I know some of you guys warned me and said it was a puppy mill, but I didn't think this would happen. I don't even know HOW I bought from a puppy mill. Here I thought I was getting the best of the best. Worst case scenario I thought I'd get a puppy that was a little sick and I'd take her to the vet once and she'd be fine once you guys told me it was a puppy mill...I NEVER imagined anything like this happening. Nor did I imagine I would fall so deeply in love with a puppy I only had for a day before she had to be rushed to the hospital. I feel so bad for Charlie and I am completely disgusted at the animals that are her breeders. I don't understand how someone can be so heartless and make a poor puppy this sick just to make money. It's despicable. I truly hope this breeder bitch burns in hell when she meets her maker bc my poor Charlie is more dead than alive right now and she did not have to be this way. I seriously feel like a part of my soul died watching her in so much pain.

I haven't really slept/ate/done anything but cry since Charlie got sick. Her playpen is next to my bed and it just makes me so sad to look at it :( But I'm going to try to get some sleep. I am so emotionally/mentally/physically drained. Please keep Charlie in your prayers. I know her odds aren't good, but I HAVE to believe she will make it.

Pinky

Oh, and like someone else said..it's amazing how people can pull together on here. I truly appreciate all of your advice, concern and prayers. I am very thankful to you for the support you have provided me so I sincerely thank you.

I'm so sorry to hear that, Pinky. We all know you have done everything you could. Now let's hope for the best for little Charlie. At the very least, we know she's now with a competent vet who's able to give you a better idea of what's going on with your pup. Have faith, Pinky. Sometimes animals are very strong - much stronger than we humans are.

I'm sure you have learned something - not just you shouldn't get a puppy from one of these heartless people but you have also learned what you are capable of. I'm sure you have realized you are capable to love a little puppy, so much that you are willing to do things that you normally don't do.

Now go to bed and try to get some sleep. You need energy to send Charlie some positive vibes when you go to see her tomorrow.

:( Poor Charlie. I'm pulling for her to make it.

Pinky, hang in there. Your second to last post made me cry. This is so heartbreaking and I think everyone here knows how you're feeling right now. I'm really glad you found this forum.
