I have the dog who was the Kennelmate of the Other complaint about this Breeder.
We had recently lost our beloved German Shepherd and wanted another as a pet and for personal protection. We drove over 10 hours round-trip to buy the puppy. We were told that his kennelmate had been purchased the day before. We brought him home and he would not eat the next morning. I called Sonia, she said "...It's probably Parvo, take him to your vet..." (Why did she suspect this immediately?) We took him to our vet who diagnosed him with parvo. I called Sonia who told me that she was calling the owner of his Kennelmate. When I told her the tests the vet wanted to adminster, she yelled at me and told me the last puppy who had all those tests done the puppy died. Not to have the tests, and bring him back. I did not want to do this because I was afraid he would die on such a long trip.
He was hospitalized that day, and I visited him every day. He almost died, but luckily pulled through. However, Five days after coming home he developed "Chewing Gum" (CG) seizures. He has undergone many tests to determine the cause (including distemper as CG seizures are a classic symptom of the latter-stages of distemper). We have used our regular vet as well as a specialty neurologist. ALL of the tests have come back negative however. He has one more blood test (for a second type of distemper test) and a urinalysis. These tests are pending and unless someone comes up with some other ideas he will not be getting further testing. We are hoping he might outgrow the CG seizures or at the very least we can manage him in such a way that he will have a good quality of life.
Do Not Buy from this Breeder, (There is obviously Parvo at her Kennel) or you will be heartbroken and MUCH Poorer. (My bill is much higher than the other person's.) By the way if there is some way I can communicaate with the other person, I would like to do so.
