Hi everyone,
My name is Meghan and I live in Pittsburgh, PA. I have a 3 1/2 year-old male English Mastiff named Murphy. I purchased him from a breeder near Akron, OH on 03/17/2007 (he was born 01/03/2007). Our breeder was Patricia Sams and I have been unable to contact her. After Murphy's 1st birthday he became very ill, and we have struggled in finding a diagnosis and treatment for him. At one point we almost had to put him down. The breeder used to have a website, and had even posted pictures of Murphy as a puppy, but around the time that Murphy got sick, her website disappeared. I even sent her a letter asking if any of the other puppies from his litter had experienced any health problems. I recieved no response. I even explained in my letter that I didn't want any money back, and I certainly didn't want another puppy. I was just hoping to gain any information as to any known illnesses within the litter. Murphy is like my child, and I just want him to get better. We believe he has some sort of autoimmune disorder, probably genetic, and I would love to know if anyone knows of anyone that has puppies from Murphy's litter, or has purchased an English Mastiff from Patricia Sams. Any information would be greatly appreciated!
