Hank DDB Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Hi all, I'm buying a puppy and due to pick him up soon, the breeder ran me and has sent pics and copy of vet invoice, vet has given puppy a shot of anti inflammatory and a five day course of antibiotics, but apparently is not sure what is wrong, no other health concerns just maybe lymph nods swollen. I'm waiting till breeder returns to vet on Monday to get new update. Breeder recently put puppy on solid food. What do u guys think I should do?

persephone Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Maybe speak with the vet? What is the diagnosis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank DDB Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Swollen glands either LN or Saliva that's on vet invoice also then says otherwise NAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebanne Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 wait and see how the pup recovers and what the vets have to say on Monday. These things happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xyz Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 'nothing abnormal detected' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Do u know what NAD means? No Abnormalities Detected I would suggest between now & pup-pick-up date that you read and read all sorts of dog stuff :) Vet terminolgy/anatomy/basic behaviour all sorts, so that when someone talks to you - you can answer them confidently , and so you can better understand how your dog works! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stolzseinrotts Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) Sounds possibilty like Puppy Strangles..... very hard to make a any definitive diagonsis based on what you have stated. Edited March 20, 2013 by Stolzseinrotts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank DDB Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 Just a update, thee breeder has been great, she took the puppy to a second vet the other day for a second opinion, but unfortunately both vets mis diagnosed the condition and the puppy had to be rushed back to the vets today, result is that he has puppy strangles and I'm not prepared to buy him now as the condition was not treated quick enough IMO to help prevent future health issues. But the good news is the breeder does not want to sell the puppy for the same reasons, so I'm going to the breeder tomorrow to inspect the other male puppies again and possibly pick one to take home. I have to say the breeder has been absolutely fantastic throughout the whole process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Hmmm... I may be a bit cautious, but would be suggesting avoiding this litter of puppies , perhaps? being an auto immune disease ..there could be also other pups with problems ... something you don't want surprising you after getting a pup home and falling in love with it. I wish this little one a quick and uneventful recovery , and a good home at the end of it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news is all other puppies have no signs of health problems and its been a week since they had their vaccinations, so fingers crossed all will be good. I will post a pic of the puppy I purchased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank DDB Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 . This is Hank our Douge De Bourdeaux , he is 8 weeks old today. He went straight to his drinking fountain when we put him down on the floor, and has eaten his 1st meal without hesitation, he is currently sleeping after his meal.

Thank you, I saw Crowley today, he is just starting to show signs of improvement now that the vet has him on steroids. I feel sooo sorry for him, think it will take a while for my family to get over Crowley being sick. Good news is that Hank has settled in extremely quickly, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
