Chloe has just been bile acid tested at 9.5 months, and her numbers came back high.
Her contract from the breeder states this:
"...This puppy is guarantted for one full year for life-threatening hereditary conditions. If a condition should arise within the one yyear period, a replacement puppy will be given when one becomes available. If the pup is kept, all vet bills are teh buyer's responsiblity..."
However, I have been doing some searching that says CA's puppy lemon law allows for the buyer to recoup up to 150% of the paid price for treatment, if that breeder has given away or sold at least two litters the previous year.
What I don't know is if the CA puppy lemon law trumps the breeder's guarantee. I would think that it would, but I don't know.
Also, there's no way I'm returning my dog after I've had her all this time. Plus, I certainly wouldn't want another with the same genetic background where the same condition could be present. |
i have been trying to learn all i can about liver shunt. i see too many people here who's baby has it and it concerns me.
now b/c her test came back high.....does this mean she has liver shunt or is she just a carrier?
