I don't know how the law is in CA but here in NJ I was able to go through consumer affairs and the pet store had to reimburse me for Bandit's medical bills up to the cost of the dog. It was nearly $2000. Check into that. It took a lot of letter writing and phone calls on my end but it was worth it in the end. These pet stores need to be hit in the pocketbook for selling sick animals. I didn't know a thing about puppy mills and pet stores when we bought Bandit. Unfortunately I became an expert. I wish I could help you out financially and I hope the vet will work with you on a payment plan. |
