Unfortunately what you have described is the replacement policy some breeders use. I can't understand how it benefits anyone because clearly you (or anyone) would already be too attached to the dog to willingly give her up. Maybe the breeder would be willing to chip in some of the cost for the surgery if it is needed. Some LP cases, depending on the severity, never require surgery. Did your vet feel like it would eventually be needed? I am very sorry you are having to deal with this.
Hugs to you and Mimi. |
