The first pup should have been enough proof for him to know that his Lab was not compatible with a smaller dog. A dog like that can never be trusted again around a small dog. Labs have a high prey drive as it is. Sounds like this young man doesn't really know a thing about animals, and the fact that he allowed the dog again to be unsupervised says that he is a very immature person and in the wrong field. I can really understand you being so upset, I am too and I don't even know those people. Can't imagine what his boss said to him, or how much his boss Vet will now trust his judgement. I know if I were his boss, I wouldn't trust his judgement and would fire him. I wouldn't want to run the risk of anything happening to my clients pets, because a tec doesn't have common sense and good judgement and worry about being sued. My heart goes out to those poor terrified babies. How horrible!

That is why I am stressing on he common sense issue. Everyone should use common sense, especially a vet tech who works daily with dogs of all breeds. This whole thing could have been prevented, simply with supervision. Poor little babies.

I bet that dog had given signs of his aggression and the owners ignored them, just as they ignored loosing the first dog. How can people be so dumb is beyond my understanding. They don't have any excuse, especially for the second chi. Are you saying that the new owner of the pups was also your daughters co-worker? <TRANSP~1.PNG> -------Original Message------- From: stewartgang Date: 7/29/2012 10:18:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Chihuahuas] Upsetting chi story I was so upset this week, and you will be too when you hear this story. My daughter is a vet tech in a very busy hospital. A chi breeder had 2 longhaired chi puppies she needed to place into a good home. My daughter's co-worker took both of them home. After just a few days, one of the puppies were rushed into the hospital in an emergency situation. The new owner had left the puppies unsupervised in the yard along with her large dog, and when she returned, one puppy lay there having seizures. After being examined by the vet, it was determined that the puppy had been attacked by the big dog, puncturing the skull. The puppy had to be euthanized. When my daughter shared this info with me, I could hardly stand it!! I was so upset. Then the very next week, once again, the second puppy left unsupervised with the big dog, the new owner came into the home only to find a lot of blood, and the second little puppy lying there lifeless. What a tragedy!!! I felt like I was nearing a heart attack hearing this!! I am still extremely upset. Just a reminder, not to leave such small dogs unsupervised with larger dogs or small children. And by the way, this large dog was a Labrador Retriever. What a tragic ending. Common sense....some people sure lack it. =
