I am still agonizing over a puppy that I placed several months ago. Although I spent many hundreds of dollars on tests and then finally on a post mortem, nothing conclusive was established and I am still at a loss to know why this happened to this beautiful sweet boy. He was given his 4 way Booster at 3 months of age. Then, one week later, because he was going into the U.S., he was given his Rabies shot. Three days later he left for his new home and two days later began having seizures. I went and picked him up and brought him home and took him to my vet who ran both blood tests and urine tests on him which were sent off to the lab. His seizures initially were very minor and short-lived and he bounced back to normal. After several days of this, he went a full TEN days without a seizure, then suddenly they started up again, but this time were very violent and he was totally disoriented for some time after. After several days of watching him, I called my vet and when she saw his condition - he had become a 'vegetable', she agreed that he should be put to sleep. At this time he was just barely 4 months old. As I said, she did a post mortem and sent the necessary to the lab - brain, liver, whatever. Nothing conclusive ever came of all of this. Probably one of the most frustrating things I have dealt with in 26 years of breeding. I just went into that b-naturals web site and found some disturbing information there. If anyone has any thoughts at all I would love to hear them.
