I did take my Maltese to a reputable vet within 48 hours and that is when I received the grade 3 LP diagnosis.

If my puppy had checked out perfectly fine at that vet visit as it sounds like the previous posters' puppies had, what would I have to alert future buyers about?

I wanted to let others know how Tanoe responded when my puppy DID NOT check out fine.

As far as I know, my puppy was never seen by a vet before being released to me. She came LOADED with coccidia, the insides of her ears were so dirty the vet couldn't examine them, she had an obvious underbite which Tanoe never disclosed to me, her feet were stained dark yellow from very dark-colored urine that did not lighten up for about a week, and she had loose, bloody, mucous-laced stool.

But as I stated earlier, the biggest problem was the grade 3 luxating patella, which led my vet to fill out an "Unfit for Sale" form immediately.

There were a few other alarming revelations that I have not posted, but would be happy to share if anyone wishes to private message me.
