The White Poodle 26 Report post Posted November 22, 2017 I had a puppy that the vet damaged his back leg attempting to pull him out at birth. I had the xrays and all the advice given and I was told he would need to be put down or have his back leg amputated.He did not appear in pain and was just so much magic in my life it wasn't funny. I reluctently went with the advice and went for the amputation. The call from the vet telling me my boy never woke from the operation shatters me to this day. You don't have to be a Sergio to be loved .. Gary Sharp 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
