We bought an english bulldog puppy from HAPPINESS IS PETS about two months ago and she was sick with diareah the day we bought her. The store employees said the diareah was caused from being stressed out in the cage. We took the puppy to the vet for our free check-up and they said that she probably just has a sensitive stomach, so we bought a bag of ''sensitive stomach'' food , but that didn't help. We have been to the vet every week since we bought our puppy. The vet has done x-rays, barium tests, and even an exploratory surgery on our dog. During the surgery they found hard pieces of plastic backed up in her intestines, which she obviously ate prior to us buying her. The vet said that the tests confirmed that the plastic was indeed the cause of our bulldog's diareah. Two days after picking her up from her 3 day vet stay, our puppy was vomiting and having diareah, again. What is going on? Our poor little bully has spent more time at the vet than she has at our home. This is ridiculous and needs to be stopped. Our bulldog came from the puppy mill breeder Steve Kruse in West Point, IA. This is who Happiness is Pets gets their dogs from. Steve Kruse has had multiple investigations against him for overcrowding, rusted cages, and blood on walls. I've seen pics from the investigations and a video, and they make me sick to see what these poor defenseless animals are going through before they are sold to Happiness is Pets. How can this pet store get away with selling dogs to people that they know are sick?

HAPPINESS IS PETS ORLAND PARK--MY ENGLISH BULLDOG DIED TODAY

AUTHOR: Steven - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Saturday, June 30, 2007

AFTER 3 DAYS OF STAYING AT THE VET, MY 4 MONTH OLD ENGLISH BULLDOG WAS PUT TO SLEEP. I WENT TO THE VET TO PLAY WITH HER TODAY AND SHE SEEMED FINE, FOUR HOURS LATER, I GET A PHONE CALL FROM THE VET SAYING THAT OUR BULLY NEEDS AN EMERGENCY SURGERY. DURING THE SURGERY THEY FOUND THAT IZZY(OUR BULLDOG) HAD ADHESIONS IN HER BOWELS. BECAUSE OF THESE ADHESIONS, NEARLY ALL OF HER INTESTINES WERE ''DEAD'', THEY CUT OFF THE BLOOD FLOW TO THE INTESTINES, KILLING THEM. THE VET GAVE HER ONLY A 5% CHANCE OF SURVIVAL AND RECOMMENDED PUTTING HER DOWN. SO NOW, HAPPINESS IS PETS HAS TO REPLACE OUR DECEASED BULLDOG WITH ANOTHER ONE, AND HOPEFULLY WE HAVE BETTER RESULTS NEXT TIME. HOWEVER, THEY CANNOT REPLACE OUR FEELINGS THAT HAVE BEEN HURT FROM THIS WHOLE SITUATION. I KNOW WE ONLY HAD IZZY FOR A COUPLE MONTHS, BUT ANYONE WHO OWNS A PUPPY, KNOWS HOW ATTACHED YOU GET TO THEM. WE MISS HER VERY MUCH AND WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HER.
