Hello everyone. Whilst not me, or my pets, I think it is important this is shared.
We just got home from a trip out to find our friend and neighbour's puppy, Ziva, has been taken to the vet. She arrived home with them last week from Wales. She is a collie.
Unfortunately, she is in the vet after throwing up all over the place and pooping lots, common in puppy farm babies. The area Ziva came from is known to have puppy farms, especially for collies. We have not yet told our friend (Ziva's owner) about this as with her just going into the vet today, we don't want tomstress them out too much more than they are already. When we tell them, we will be advising that they contact the RSPCA to investigate. Another sign that this could have been a puppy farm baby is that the woman who sold her was very rushed about it, and would not allow them to visit.
This thread is not just to send thoughts to my friend as his dog, but also a reminder that you should always be careful when buying any animal and be on the lookout for any red flags. Most puppy farm dogs don't survive. Let's hope this one does.
There are still people like this out there. It isn't fair for animals to be treated in this way. It must be stopped.
