I purchased a male Chihuahua from Brittany Starkey of Stardom Chihuhuas on 11/15/17. Took the puppy home and fell in love with little Liam Henry. He had a large open Font that my vet confirmed and he had a problem on 1/13/18 and I rushed him to the Vet as he could not even hol up his head. Vet examined him and he said it looked like propable congenital hydrocephaly. (Hydrocephalus) Which is too much fluid in the brain that builds up pressure as they get older. So I was referred to a Neuroligst which I saw right away and he confirmed the diagnosis. An MRI was going to be done but then the Dr. came in and said he would not make it through the anesthesia and reccomended to euthanize him as he was suffering. So I cried and we put him down as I could not let him suffer. I contacted Mrs. Starkey and told her that he had to be put down and why also sending her the vet and neurologist exams and diagnosis.
So upset I only asked her to refund my $1,300 that I had paid for him not even 2 months before as I did not want another puppy from her as it is a hereditary condition and was told NO because I did not have a Necropy performed after we put him down!! Really?? How heartless can you be? I just lost me little baby and all she was worried about was an exam done after death to determine cause of death. WE KNOW HE DIED BECAUSE WE EUTHANIZED HIM! Both the Dr. and Neuroligist had already confirmed his diagnosis. Please don't buy any puppies from such a uncaring breeder! She has even had the nerve to have friends bother me and a lawyer contact me about slander. Well slander is only if the statements are not TRUE! This is true and fact as I lost my baby and she has refused to return my money for the puppy. I can attach vet and Neuro diagnosis as well as the contract that states if diagnosed written by vet then replacement puppy given. I don't want another puppy from her of course! I would go to a reputable breeder next time!
