 Health Guarantee
Do breeders follow a standard practice in health guarantees? I have a situation where the breeder's vet disagrees with my vet about whether a condition my puppy has can be called a life threatening congenital defect. My bill of sale for the puppy states that upon veterinary certification of a problem my purchase price will be refunded but that the breeder reserves the right to have the dog and/or medical records examined by her vet. I sent the records and now she's arguing that her vet says the diagnosis is inconclusive and testing needs to be redone next month. Meanwhile my vet says he saw a liver shunting on the ultrasound and acid biles are very high (55). He says my baby needs surgery right away to save his life and that he'll always have to take pepcid, antibiotics and prescription diet. The breeder offerred instead of a refund and letting me keep the puppy she wants to buy him back and reimburse me for the testing if there really is shunting. She says she wants to take care of him herself because she trusts her people more. What kind of guarantees are normal? |
