Thanks. It's not really any further than Wagga, you have a website?

I'm not sure of the medical name, but the vet said her skull had stopped growing? Thank you. We may be up for a drive. Where are you located?

Oh really? Actually, i spoke to her about going to look at some staffy pups this weekend and she agreed, so we'd probably be up for a look around. I'll send you a PM for the details. Thanks. Does anybody know if that sort of skull defect is common in puppies? She's terrified of it happening again if we do get another puppy.

Thank you everyone for your kind words. I'm not sure what we're going to do just yet, my wife said she's too scared to get another puppy from fear that something will happen to it as well. I don't want her to miss out on all the great experiences that dogs can bring, so i'll take it one day at a time for now and see how she feels in a few weeks.

Thanks guys, i think i'll get wife a new puppy, maybe a white staffy as Sookie was black. I grew up on a farm, and i've lost a lot of pets over the years, but as i said, this was my wife's first dog, so she's crushed. The breeders were as devestated as we are. I rang them and the old girl broke down, all she could do was tell me how sorry she was and she said we'll get a full refund. Her son is at work now i think, so i'll probably speak to them again tonight. They did have another puppy there but she is going to be a big girl though, Sookie was tiny.

Hi guys, Over the long weekend, my wife and i travelled to Wagga to buy a staffy pup that we named Sookie - this was my wife's first puppy. This morning at 8:00, following an emergency dash to the vet, she was put to sleep due to a skull defect that was mis-diagnosed as "she must have had a little bump on the head". My wife held her in her arms as she passed away. Needless to say, my wife is pretty devestated, she never got to see her perfect little puppy grow up, never got to play with her or anything. What would you guys do? Get another puppy straight away? give sookie's things to a resuce charity? I really don't know what to do. Cheers.
