Yay, congratulations on the B.Ed!

I see from your timeline your move is in a few days, good luck, safe travels and I hope your sinus infection clears up.

Thanks, OBX! I have allergies and pollen is starting to be in the air - tis the season of sinus infections I just hope it clears up quickly; I hate the feeling of an exploding face during a flight, haha...

Congratulations, CBM!!!!!!! That is awesome. I hope your meds kick in quickly. Flying with a sinus infection will be very painful. It's funny how antibiotics affect people differently. With me, they knock me to the curb. With you it's nausea. With my Mum...... nothing. Weird.

Congrats

Hope your start feeling better soon.

Congrats!! I hope you feel better soon. Try taking some sinutab or some sort of antihistimine before flying (provided they don't interfere with your antibiotics) as it may help during the flight.

Thanks, everyone! I might just take gravol before my flight to knock me out so I don't have to deal with the pain.

I'm too happy celebrating my degree & moving to worry too much about it!!

[CanadaLove 16]

Congrats on your degree CBM! *crosses fingers* Here's hoping your infection clears up soon!

[Krikit 1,164]

+1 for Gravol!

In other news, I am less ticked at the price of gas in the US now that I've seen what they pay in Canada.

Im having a super dramatic day today and I am so confused as to what to do. I bought a purebred chi puppy and am suppose to go pick her up today. Yesterday she was taken to the vet along with her siblings to have shots and get a check up before leaving. Last night I got a phone call from My breeder telling me that the puppy has a grade 2 heart murmur and that the vet said in most cases it should go away as puppies tend to have this and grow out of it by 18 weeks or so. HOWEVER I woke up this morning still slightly worried so I have been researching all day long to find out the percentage that do grow out of it, and what if she doesnt grow out of it, then she could live a long life even with a grade 2 or she could progress over time ending up in medications and maybe surgery. It is more likely she will grow out of it but I am so confused as to what to do right now. I am paying 600 for this puppy

HELP

Tough decision and one you probably not going to get a 100% answer on. You could call a few vets and see what they have to say. Post on a few animal forums. Tough decision! I know many breeders offer one a Gaurantee--they will take the dog back--BUT what good is that?? One is soooooo attached to it, most would never give it back. I guess one has to look at if the murmur does not go away, waht are the medical costs associated with it?? Can you afford that?? I'm a huge animals lover--love animals more than I do people, bui tone has to look at the whole picture! Probably little help, sorry! But phone a few vets and quickly tell them the story. Best of luck

I am getting her, I have too I have been waiting weeks to get to bring her home and have already fell in love with her. My concern is more should I ask for a small amount of her to compensate with upcoming vet visits? Or for the possibility that she may continue to have this murmur. I mean am I out of my mine to even consider that. I have a 5 day health guarantee to go see my vet and make sure that there in no else wrong with her But that will not change anything If it does in fact turn out to be some "heart Issues".

You could ask for a lower price, but be prepared for her to say no, but if you do not ask, the answer is already no! But to better educate urself in getting a lower price, do some research. If the murmur does NOT go away, she is going to need this and this and this, its going to cost a lot. The Breeder has to tell future owners about the murmur, so she may or may not have difficulty selling it! And many animals, people have murmurs and it causes them no problems!

here is 1 forum--just googled it, so no clue how trust worthy it is: http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/german_shepherd_dog/bulletins.read?mnr=96435&pagen=1

Thanks for the site, I actually have been researching about heart murmurs all day long, The problem I am having is that there is really no way to tell till the puppy is much older 16 weeks-25 weeks is roughly when they will say it is not going to go away.

I am pretty sure she will say no to me about lowering the price due to her having a few puppies in the past with heart murmur's and as she says the owners never called to say they did not go away.

I dont care I will pay full price for her but It would be nice

Ok.. Thanks for your help, I am actually more calmed down now. I too am a AVID animal lover so much that it is hard at times lol
