This beautiful puppy was bought at a retail outlet by kindhearted poeple who didn't know the background of their purchase.
Bailey came from a puppy farm and has many health problems.
Bailey will not see his first birthday, he will be in too much pain by then and will have to be put to sleep His owner and the family will be heartbroken to lose a much loved pet. They have spent countless pounds on vets bills and yet they must still suffer emotional pain when the time comes to say goodbye to their much loved companion.
His ailments are as follows....
- Persistant Cough due to immune suppression.
- Bi-lateral medial patella luxation due to shallow trochlear grooves and severe alignment abnormalities.
- Severe unstability of joints.
- Arthritis and muscle wastage in back legs.
- Severe arrythmia (Severe irregular heartbeat).
- Liver shunt.
- Overshot jaw.
- Keratitis (infection on corneas of eyes which left them damaged).
- On/Off gastro-intestinal problems.
Mylo is a little luckier, he was very ill soon after purchase and it was found he had Gaurdia a parasitic infestation making him very poorly. His new owner has two more dogs and Mylo infected both, one older dog nearly lost her life. Numerous trips to vets and hundreds of pounds spent in vet fees plus heartache and worry.
Most pups bought over the internet, advertisements in newspapers and pet shops will have come from puppy farms .....this is a fact.
Mylo can now look forward to a happy life we hope but his mother and father will still be locked in some dark, dirty hovel, frozen in winter and roasted in summer. They will have spent their lives in a cage producing litter after litter of sickly pups for you, the public to buy. They see no vet if they are ill and when their useful days are over they will be shot or clubbed to death.
Do you really want to keep these evil people in business? Please think twice before buying a puppy from a commercial outlet selling lots of different breeds. No matter how cute these puppies may look, think about the poor mothers who have borne these puppies and are continuing to suffer at the hands of the Puppy Farmers & Agents for financial gain only. Only you, the public, can help bring an end to this horrific trade.
The owners of these pups want you to read this and take heed, they want to spare you the pain they have suffered.
If you do buy a sick pup report it to your trading standars and local council immediately.
Please, if you are looking for a pup, contact the breed club of your choice of breed and get the name of an ethical reputable breeder.
