6 week old golden retriever heart issues? General Dog Discussions
My family purchased a six week old golden retriever Thursday. We took it to the vet for its puppy check up and the vet had said her heart “skipped a beatâ€. They did an EKG and it showed the same thing. Our puppy only weighs 2 pounds 7 ounces and the vet said her body was depressed (come to find out this breeder is an idiot!) she gave us food and some other stuff to give her to make her gain some weight and then to bring her back into the vet today to check her heart again, (she thought maybe because the puppy didn’t weigh much and maybe stressed- the heart issue could be from that)This morning we took her back so they could listen to her heart again... nothing had changed, although our puppy is much more playful since she’s been eating.They gave our puppy some kind of shot that shocked the heart, hoping it would go to a regular beat, they kept her for an hour and the heart was beating normally! We still are taking her to a cardiologist, the vet said the dog is likely to have a 2 degree heart block… my family is devastated, but my question is, do you think that since that shot gave her a normal heart beat, it could continue to stay that way?We are going to get our money back but dont want to give the puppy back, because we are scared of what they may do with her... we are reporting her but want to save our puppy, we adore her already.
