My puppy is really sick..

My boyfriend brought me home a 2-3 month old puppy 3 days ago and I'm afraid she's going to die. She's golden brown and sweet, just like sugar, so that's what we named her. Sugar threw up last night so my parents told me to call the vet after I get home from school to make an appointment. I did. Then I came home expecting to be greeted by her but nobody was home. It turns out she threw up again this morning after I left for school and my parents rushed her to the vet. They wouldn't tell me anything except that Sugar is really sick and she might die. My mom says she'll take me to see Sugar after she ends work, which is in 2 hours. I can't stop crying & I can't believe my new best friend might be taken away from me. Please pray for her.

Daddysgirl is right, and that was the same point I was going to make....just because you are a minor and ESPECIALLY since your mother was with you the vet should be giving you all the information about what is going on with your Sugar. Will be looking for some news tomorrow.

Jennifer,

I am so sorry about your pup. Now is certainly not the time to move her, but as someone suggested, if you will mention your state or city I'll bet one of us can come up with someone so much better. Meanwhile, let's all hope for the best. All good thoughts coming your way from Northern California.

Jennifer,
I am so sorry about Sugar passing away. At least you can rest easy that she is not in pain and running free with the rest of our pups. When you are feeling up to it, I would go with your parents to that vet and let him have a piece of your mind, treating you that way, when you were so worried about her. Nobody should be treated like that. I pray you will find some comfort in knowing she knew she was loved and happy to have you for her mommy. Run free sweet Sugar

I'm so sorry to hear that Sugar didn't make it. Did the vet give you any idea as to what caused this??

Play hard, sweet Sugar... rest in peace.

Jennifer,
Are you in the states? There might be a board that you could report him to for his mean and cruel treatment to you and your family. Nobody should be treated like he did to you.

Jennifer... how unfair for you... I'm guessing that tonight many of us are sharing your tears over Sugar. When you explained how Sugar got her name it reminded me of an e-mail that was sent to me recently and I feel that this is an appropriate time to share it with you and all the members of this forum.... maybe it explains why Sugar's time with you was so very short.
