i think she killed him...?

You should NEVER take in a dog or animal - if you do not have the money to care for one, INCLUDING the basic vaccinations. Your carelessness cost the puppy his life (one way or another). He was taken FAR too soon from his mother (if he was only 2 weeks old, versus 8 weeks) and he was either sick or would have gotten sick, without the vaccinations. Both Distemper & Parvovirus are FATAL in 80% of cases in untreated and unvaccinated puppies.

Unfortunately, many people who cannot afford to take care of a pet, do somehow get pets.

Pets have as many medical bills as people do - but affordable pet insurance that covers a lot is not readily available.

If you couldn't afford to get him neutered, all his shots regularly, vet check ups every year, and have money put aside for accidents such as what happened, he would have been in trouble, medically, anyway, at some point. It could have been a month later, a year later, 2 years...........and he would have suffered, as ,many dogs and cats do - we read about them HERE on "answers" when people can't afford vet care and the animals are in suffering for months or years - or be adopted out by someone who could afford care, or he would be euthanized.

The animal was suffering. When you see neuro problems such as falling over, and there is no money for proper treatment, the ONLY thing you can do is act empirically: treat the animal the best you can, betting on the most likely diagnosis. That diagnosis was distemper - but also, even if the dog didn't have it, he was suffering and you could not afford to have him tested to see what was going on. So the best solution WAS to put him out of his misery. He didn't need to have a short life of a couple o months of falling down all over the place until he was euthanized or died un-assisted.

Distemper would have killed him anyway. There's no cure. If he wasnt vaccinated then he probably did get it. Either way he would have died. Atleast this way he didn't suffer.

I'm not bothering to read this mess. You bought a puppy that was TWO WEEKS OLD! WTF?? It should have stayed with its mother till at LEAST 8 weeks so it was doomed from the start.

Then you couldn't afford a vet so when it needed one you denied it vet care. SHAME ON YOU. NEVER get another pet again - EVER!

Brought tears to my eyes but he's in heaven right now.I have never felt what your family is feeling right now so I can't say that I understand.I wish you all the best.These things happen.

sorry

big hug

Hm.. it may have just been that whoever you spoke with truly didn't know anything about the case, happens often unless they were there.

If this is true, and not just a trolling rant, the poor pup is now better off, now.
