this is my last post on this thread/forum. I realize most of you mean well, regardless of how it comes out.
However, you people need to understand that not everyone is informed about dog breeding. it is not common knowledge. She is my first pet, and I take really good care of her.
No other vet had suggested that she had hip displasia, only the last one we went to. and that was AFTER she had concieved.
I didnt want to believe that she does, because it didnt make much sense. But i doubt he'd say that if she didnt.
Its not like I bred her knowing she had it, or even knowing I had to screen them for genetic malfunctions. I trusted what the breeder told us, and I didnt second guess it. My bad.
I've been doing alot of research now on dog breeding, to prepare myself for it. I have been trying take responsibility for what was a misinformed, bad decision.
Yes, I should have done the research before hand- I didnt realize it was anymore difficult than dogs breeding and having babies. my bad again.
I am going to go to another vet to see what he thinks about it (someone suggested getting someone elses opinion since two vets disagreed on it) I guess this time I will have the x-rays rather than listening to what they say.
And its not like I bred her regardless of her being a " pet quality" I didnt know the difference until I came here and saw a few posts. I was just looking for sound advice, not to start a war.
To the people that offered advice, even the harsh advice- thanks. For the people who turn their back on animals because they dont know how to address human ignorance other than shunning someone and furthermore allowing the ignorance continue- whatever- you people need to get over it- because i'm not the first, not the last, and its certainly going to happen for years. if you have knowledge on a subject, don't take a higher than thou approach and refuse to advise someone just because you disagree with them. Otherwise all you are doing is condoning that ignorance.
thanks again all
