Looks like this little Georgia girls's journey is starting over again. She's charting 4 lbs grown, so I will be picky about her.
Okay. So here is her story and full disclosure.
She and her two sibling (I lost one) were delivered via emergency c-section. The mom was not well and I tube fed them by hand until the mom could pick up the feedings. The girl did not pick up weight as quickly as her brother and at 6 weeks she was still under one pound. She did not go to the vet for her first set of puppy shots until 9 weeks. At that time, her open fontanel (soft spot) was referenced and her slight heart murmur was noted. The vet was certain both would resolve themselves in time. The soft spot is closing and should be closed by 6 months old (fi not before) but the murmur was there two weeks ago when she went back to the vet for a check up. With both of these issues, her guarantee has an additional line that if she is to pass away due to her heart murmur (as long as continually noted by your vet), you will get a replacement puppy at half cost. I would like to speak to your vet for a reference and am happy to share my vet information so you can speak to mine regarding this baby girl.
I do not think her murmur will cause any problems. If I did, I would keep her and not put a family through that. She is due for her 3rd set of puppy shots on/around the 12th.
Please talk to your spouse and to me with any questions you have. I want you to make the best decision for your family.
