BC123,

I'm floored!! Poor Ivy. I would definitely find out who sired Ivy and notify the other breeder.

"Do you want to keep him??" What the hell kind of question is that? I'd be pissed if a vet's staff asked me that.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed and you and Ivy in my prayers. A heart murmur doesn't necessarily mean a death sentence. I would DEFINITELY question the breeder's ethics. Ivy had to have had Chlamydia when you got him and I'm sure she knew it.

When I got Lexi June, Joe (breeder) gave me all of her papers and the vet's phone number in case I had any questions.

If you give me the breeder's name, location and cattery name, I can look into it for you. I've got alot of friends who are cat show judges (and breeders) and if there's something amiss with this woman, I'll find out. I'd also file a complaint.

I also believe the breeder should compensate you for the vet bill. She lied to you by omission.

Please keep us posted on Ivy's condition.
