Did you report the vet? |
I bought her from a fairly large pet store... 40-50 puppies on display. She was the first one I held and I didnt let her go till we got home. She looked so sad and frightened of the other dog in her cage. The health guarantee did not include any of the things she had except a bacterial infection that was giving her diarrhea and is apparently very common in pet shop puppies. I cant remember what it was called.
She also had ringworm, ear mites, upper respiratory infection and some other infection... the pet store said the contract i signed did not hold them responsible for any of those things and they offered to let me pick another dog... since this was THE DAY AFTER I BROUGHT HER HOME!!!
I fell in love with her overnight and dont regret my decision. Not too many people around here know not to buy from pet stores.. I think its because there arent that many breeders in NYC. Ive been trying my best to educate everyone I know, send emails with puppy mill videos, etc. Its harder than I thought.
