Yesterday, my husband drove 6 hours to pick up a baby girl from this breeder. I was unable to go due to a meeting I could not cancel. The breeder and I had both spoke on the phone several times and emailed mulitple times about the puppy. My husband picked her up and brought her home. He arrived home approx. 5 -5:30:PM. My husband explained to me that the breeder said she had become car sick on her way to work that morning. On the way home, she became car sick 3+ times in my car. As soon as they arrived, I noticed her hair looked fragile and broken and as I was petting her and looking over her, I noticed bumps under her fur from snout to tail! This worried me. She began throwing up again in my home. I called my vet but he could not see her as his office was closed. I took Bella Rose (Rosemary) to Petsmart hoping to find something for her skin and her excessive itching. On the way there, she vomitted several times in my car (I live 5 minutes from Petsmart). I notice that there is a vet attached to the store so I immediately go there and have her seen. I was terrified she had a contagious disease and worried for my other 2 yorkies. The vet was livid! She said that she was loaded with insect bites and she had NEVER seen such a terrible infection from the bites. I explained to her that the breeder told me that she "thought" that maybe she had gotten into some ants. The vet explained she was swormed by something to her looked like fleas bites but the were no fleas or flea dirt on the dog. I also explained the breeder had told me she had washer Bella Rose the night before and maybe she had removed any evidence. My vet ended up doing blood work, a parvo test (for the vomitting), worm check and yes, founf worms leaving me to buy new worming medications. Then I had to purchase antibacterial shampoo to help the scabs to heal from the outside while the rescription antibiotics would heal from the inside. I also have to give her Benadryl for the excessive itching. Bella Rose was not active whatsoever and the vet was in question if she had been given the attention she needed to deveop relationships. I nicely asked the breeder to help with SOME of the vet expense since our agreement was for me to purchase a healthy puppy. Her hsband became very upset and basically called me a liar (even after I sent the detailed paperwork from the vet VIA svanned and emailed). I would never give my baby Bella Rose back to this breeder for any amount of money as I would not want her back in such conditions. I was advised by YT management to place this post to warn others. I know that all her puppies were sold to YT memebers. I am not saying the other puppies have Bella Rose's condition but I am telling you what happened to me. I am going to try and upload all the vet info along with pictures of her medications and what she looked like when she arrived home. I would like to add, my polite emails to the breeder in turn caused her to become very irate with me and completely making my already tear filled day a nightmare! I thought she was a very sweet woman and it turns out, she was not so sweet to me forcing me to be aggrivated, hurt, angry, confused, etc. After this post I just can't force myself to speak of this again. I am totally distraught!!! PS this breeder is a YT member... sHE REFUSED TO HELP WITH ANY OF THE $220.00 VET BILL. I AM TRYING TO ATTACH THE BILL
HERE IS HER MEDICATIONS
