Thanks for the offer guys, but I couldn't take money from my own family let alone people on a forum. I really do appreciate it, though. One of my friends just text me asking how Charlie is and I totally broke down and told her everything and she said her uncle is a vet...which I totally forgot. She's calling him for me right now and she can get him to put me on a payment plan. THANK GOD! I'm picking up Charlie in 3 hours and we're going to stay at my friend's house that's good with taking care of sick animals and then tomorrow morning I am taking her to my friend's uncle's vet clinic. Hopefully there I can get her bloodwork done and we can determine what is causing her to be THIS sick.

Thank you guys. I APPRECIATE this valuable information.
I just told someone that my husband always maintained I am the worst businesswoman there is.
I love dogs and I would like to see a solution to Pinky's problem, however I do have to agree with you both, that if indeed I want to help Pinky resolve her financial dilema this should be strictly taken only with the vet treating the puppy for Pinky. That is NOT to say that we dont trust Pinky, but we want to make sure that our funds do go to the right place.
Pinky I Hope you are not offended and I thank members of this forum for bringing this detail to my attention. YOu are completely right.
Thanks

Well Pinky THERE IS A GOD !!! This is great news indeed you are going to be able not only to save your puppy but also to keep her and then I will BLAST the breeder who sold her to you through that whatsoever company you used.
This will be a lesson learnt for everyone to go through a reputable and well known breeder.
All is well that ends well. Great news !! So happy for Pinky and Charley.

Not offended at all. I'm actually touched. Thank you very much for the offer. I am praying that my friend's uncle will be able to make her better :( I know I need to snap out of it and stop with the self-pity but it's hard. I'm trying to get it out of my system before I pick up Charlie bc I don't want her sensing my emotions and stressing her out even more. I called the vet and she's not eating for them now either :( They're having to syringe feed her. I want to know what in the world these people did to her. I don't understand how she's so sick..she was seen by a vet the day before she was shipped and she was fine, but my vet says she questions how accurate that is. Is there a way to look up a vet's name to see if they're even legit? Supposedly she was seen by a T.A. Falconer at Falconer Veterinary Clinic in Oklahoma..there's a phone number think I should try calling it? Charlie's name was "Bebe" to them so I don't know if they can give me any info since to them the breeder is the owner.

Pinky:
As her CURRENT owner you have the legal right to demand the health certificate that was issued by the vet who saw her in consultation before she was shipped to you and yes it is the breeder's legal responsibility to furnish you with the health certificate signed by her vet (if there was such a vet at all...) and forward it to you as a means to prove to you that she sold you a HEALTHY puppy, which I Hope she did and didnt throw you a curve.
You should call the breeder and ask her for the name of the vet that examined Charley prior to being shipped to you .
I provide my clients with a puppy health certificate before I sell the pup to them and also tell them to take the pupy to the vet to examine it.. I bet you were not told this by this breeder were you?
In any case call the breeder and tell her POINT BLANK, the puppy is sick and got sick immediately after she was shipped. You demand to find out WHO is the vet that gave this puppy a clean bill of health and you want his name and also to SEE (black on white) proof of hte health certificate clearing this puppy of any and all diseases.. Lets see if you get it. I am willing to bet you wont.. it is sad indeed. I am glad though that your friend's uncle is a vet and this will save you a ton of money. Good luck.

They can't do the bloodwork on her tomorrow bc they don't do it on weekends so I'm going to pick up Charlie now and take her to the new vet. My poor baby has been through so much I feel horrible taking her out of the hospital but we must be missing SOMETHING. She looks like she's about to die, that can't just be worms.

Does Charlie's paperwork from the vet say what "healthy" means? What is their definition of "healthy"?

SECRETO

First off, Im very sorry about your puppy. Ive been following this for a few days now and hoping to hear she is finally diagnosed and treated. I think the prob right now is the vet thats "somewhat" treating her. I dont know how anyone could watch a animal suffer knowing they CAN do something about it ecspecially when its a life and death situation. Some vets!

As for your friends uncle being a vet....dont wait till tomorrow as that could be too late for a young and tiny puppy. I would try and get her seen by him today and have him watch over her since she's this ill.

And the people that sold this sweet puppy.....there should be laws against puppy brokers, pet stores selling puppies and of course puppy mills that breed these animals. I feel so bad for the animals because they didnt ask to be put on this earth and treated this way. I cant imagine what kind of life poor Charlies parents are living :(

I really hope Charlie pulls through and there is a good outcome here.

This is what I got from the breeder's vet:

So glad your friend can help you get Charlie treated. Don't loose faith; my mother went through a very similar situation with a puppy a few months ago. She thought he died on the table at the vets office. He stayed for 3 days, but he did live, and is doing very well. I'm sorry you are going through this; we are all pulling for you and Charlie
