Question
I just bought a 5 month old Boston terrier from a pet store! I've never owned a dog before so I'm worried. He wont eat his food and has been up all night! and his poop has blood in it! also my husband noticed he is stiff and walking limp at times! I'm really worried as I cant return him but also cant afford really high vet bills at this time! Please help me I'm a wreck I feel in love with this pup instantly!!!!

Answer
OK,  Call the Pet Store and tell them you are taking him into the local vet.  THIS MAY Be the Parvo Virus.  CATCH it now and you can save this baby!
Don't delay.  The VET won't turn you away...  PLEASE - Just show up at the VET... HAVE a Fit it they try to send you away... They don't want the Bad PR !!!  ( public relations)

Tell the Pet Store they need to call your Vet and pay the Bill.
They don't want the bad PR.  
If they don't help you tell them you are going to call the TV and radio stations and do an interview...

BE tough

Good luck
