A couple of weeks ago I get a call from the vet. A local dog breeder had dumped off a chihuaha(sp) because her babies were born dead and she didn't want her anymore.
I go get the little chocolate girl, who is very sweet.
Her nails are curved under, my guess is she has never walked on the ground because of her actions, she is seriously overweight. She is in heat.
So the vet I got her from says wait till she's out of heat cycle before getting her spayed. I've waited a couple weeks and she hasn't stopped so I take her to MY vet, they keep her over night and I picked her up yesterday.
Vet says she has had a minimum of 2 C-sections, is at least 9 yrs. old, we had to have her teeth cleaned, 2 teeth pulled, she has a yeast infection in her ears, and tapeworms. At least there were no heartworms. Poor girl.
She is an 8lb., chocolate, who has probably earned this woman alot of money over time. And how selfish is it just to throw her away, not take the time to spay her and let her lay around.
I was told the breeder does this all the time. give up the dogs to the pound. I'd like to meet her on a dark corner one night!!!
