Warning do not buy dog from this woman ever!
Me an my boyfriend had after a long time of consideration decided that we finally wanted to raise a dog in Vietnam.
We did a lot of research and fell in love with a janapenes dog race called the Shiba inu.
After a lot of searching we finally found a woman in Hanoi claiming to sell these type of dog and she could ship them to Ho Chi Minh without any problem for 8.5 mil. After a week of waiting we got her, a cute little golden puppy. All though she did not look like a shiba at all we kinda felt in love with her anyway.
She was according to her vaccine book vaccine twice so we only needed to vaccine her two more time.
She was coughing so the next day we took her to the vet. The vet told us she had kennel cough and if she had had the vaccine she would be fine, because if she haven't she probaly had distemper which was impossible to cure.
She was on medicine for two weeks and she didn't get better at all, so we took her to the vet. We were living in district 2 and we went to the best vet possible, he had a lot of recommendation.
The doctor ran a lot of test and test her for distemper and the result came back positiv. We were both heartbroken about this.
After a lot of consideration we deside to give her a change to fight back this disease. The doctor also took her blood and test it for antibiotic in her system. It came back low, they lied to us calming to have vaccinated her but they haven't.
After another frustrated week the distemper got to her nerves system in to her brain. She couldn't sleep and woke herself up by barking without controlled. We didn't want her to suffer so we put her down.
The woman that sold us the dog told us this had never happen ever and she was so sorry.
After two month she gave us a new puppy, with the same disease and we had to put her down yesterday. Two dog died at the hand of this woman. I wish there was anything on the internet I've could have read to spare me these heartbreak I've had to go though these last couple of month! The woman sees dog as a quick way to earn money, she doesn't care at all about dogs. I'm so sad to see people treat dogs this way.
We spend 8.5 mil on the first dog - 7 mil on medicine.
2'nd dog 1 mil on shipping and 3.5 mil on medicine antibiotic and putting her down. Overall cost of this whole experience 20 mil.
