pup Yes, you have every right to be upset. It is the breeders/sellers responsibility to be ethical and honest in all points. Posters often say the buyer is the one who needs to do their "homework"..this is true to a point..but a buyer does not always know the "ins and outs" of papers, records etc..
You should have been told these things before the sale...and in the state of Florida all dogs must have seen a vet before the sale and a record of shots to be given the buyer..
As to the vet...if the breeder gave the shots, you might as well bite the bullet and get the shots redone..not good health-wise, but you are between a rock and hard place..many vets totally disregard breeder shots...
If this was my Yorkie, I would get a DHPP...wait 4 weeks and get a second..none after that..and if she will not provide proof of rabies, I would wait 12 months...no way I would double up on a rabies shot...Good Luck |
