Woman posted about getting a puppy from an Animal Shelter that later died of Parvo (exposure at the shelter).

MY RESPONSE:

Are you talking about xxxx County Humane Society? I adopted a puppy from them 7 years ago. He came with a free vet check at a participating vet. I took him there, the vet haphazardly looked over him - said he was fine. A week later, I noticed he wasn't acting funny and took him to my (then) regular vet (I was a college student, and my regular vet was 5 hours away). My regular vet diagnosed him with severe ear mites that he probably had since he was born and lucky he wasn't deaf, a staph infection he had for awhile since before I had him, and mange. I spent $2000 in attempted treatment for this puppy, but he wasn't getting any better, and, back then, the medication for mange was quite severe and it broke down his system. We ended up euthanizing him when he wasn't getting better, but worse.

Hall County and the "participating vets" are jokes! They had the audacity to send me a "Why isn't your pet neutered yet" letter. I had my veterinarian answer them.

The BEST vet in that area, however, is the Murrayville Vet clinic! I took the above mentioned puppy to the Dahlonega Vet Hospital. After that incident, I never took any pets back there again. When I had my Doberman, I took her to Murrayville. They are inexpensive, and they truly care about the animals.

HER RESPONSE:

Yes Im talking about xxxx Co. They told me within 10 days if they get sick I can bring them back so their clinic can look at them.. A long time ago they gave me a free vet visit certificate but not this time. The vet there didnt even tell me about the parvo... I think he was trying to play it off but the person that actually euthanizes them told me about how many have been coming back in the last 2 weeks because of parvo.

MY RESPONSE:

That's B.S. The clinical symptoms of Parvo don't show up until 7-10 days after exposure so the 10-day rule wouldn't work anyways.

HER RESPONSE:

Do you research bud, it shows 7-10 days NORMALLY. Which means in MOST cases........ not ALL! All dogs react to things differently.

So since in pollen season, everyone that has an allergy to pollen should be sick RIGHT now???? No. Its different with every person same as a dog.

Grow up and get a life. This was specifically made to warn others from their shelter not bring childish criticism.

I mean, really....what a weirdo. I was merely telling her that the animal shelter's "10-day return policy" wouldn't work with puppies that contracted Parvo at the shelter. I love the trademark sign off with Craigslisters, "Get a life."
