Well, Droopy is home! He is doing much better. His episodes are decreasing and seem to be less severe. He can now stand and eat out of his bowl without loosing control and falling. He seems to tire and loose some control when playing, but he is doing 75% better. He is still on meds for the next week until his next check up. We are giving him 50 mg. of Benadryl twice daily for the "allergic reactions".
He is playing and acting more like a puppy. Our only problem was getting him away from the vet....they wanted to keep him! They think he is the cutest thing they have ever seen. I think everyone there toted him around while working.
The breeder has been contacted and informed about the problems with Droopy. He was informed of our vet's suggestions of when and what to vaccinate the puppies with. Whether it happens or not, I don't know. If he cares about the puppies and is not just breeding for the money, he will change his methods. He has seemed to be real concerned about Droopy and has contacted us almost every day.
AKC needs to pass/adopt rules forbidding breeders from selling puppies before 8 weeks of age and set guidelines on how, when and what to vaccinate puppies with. Then enforce the regulations with an "Iron fist". There is no need for this type of incident to happen.... If they could see the video I shot of one of Droopy's seizures, if they have a heart, they would implement regulations immediately. It is one of the most heart wrenching things I have ever seen.
I will keep you posted on Droopy's progress. Thanks for the prayers and well wishes!
