G&M Great Danes Greater Danes, Melissa Shively Failed to provide AKC Paperwork for Purchased Puppy Hanover, Pennsylvania

I am so sorry to hear the other pups are also sick.  My girl also has foot problems.  Apparently there is a type of mange that settles in the feet.  Her feet bleed and swell up.  She's not actively "raw" right now except on her one foot.  She does have patches of hair loss.  I too wanted to get in touch with others who purchased puppies from the same litter - but I do not think we can post our email addresses in these reports.  After I posted my original report, the breeder contacted me to ask me to remove it.  I told her I would do so when I received the paperwork.  She also stated that she didn't know of any other puppies with mange and that the parents were not suffering and the pups' mom never lost any hair.  She offered me a replacement pup which I appreciated but declined.  THat was several weeks ago and I haven't received the paperwork yet.  Again, I don't really care about that.  I just wanted the breeder to provide support.  Now, though, after hearing that at least two others have had the same experience, I am not going to remove the report.  Even if I do receive the paperwork.  Finally, I have been treating Maddie with Promeris which is a flea/tick preventative.  I use it every three weeks and it has helped her a great deal and keeps the mange under control.  I don't know if you've tried it, but if not perhaps you may want to speak to your vet.  I still have not been able to have Maddie spayed because of the mange - the vet doesn't want to do it until we absolutely have to.   We lost our male Great Dane in March of 2010, the day this litter was born.  I searched high and low for a dane and felt like it was some kind of karma that she was born on the day he passed.  I love her and wouldn't trade her for the world - I am just sorry she is suffering. 

So sad...
