First off Im so sorry you had to go through all this. the poor puppy. I would be taking the puppy back and make sure that they do xrays. just filling around is not good enough.
as for the boy. all kids are not the same while you have one 5 year old that may know better another child may not of been taught how to care for a puppy. No I would not hit or spank the child, but I would of sit him down and tell him what he did was bad. and how he hurt the puppy. as for his parents paying for the vet bill. IDK?? he was in your care and should of been watched at all times. so its just as much your fault as his.
some times my son inlaw comes over and does odd jobs for us hes in his 20's but if were not home at the time and I know he will be entering the house, my babies will not be any where in any room he will need to be. Im to afraid he will step on them. accidents happen and I try not to take a chance. I wont even let him or any one else hold my dogs unless their sitting down, I know theres a chance that they might jump out of their arms. so nope.
I hope your little one has no broken bones and heals good. |
