 Sick Puppy
Hello Everyone,
I need some advice...plzzzz. My niece( 20 yrs young) got a toy yorkie from her boyfriend as a birthday present. The puppy was purchased from a Pet store in Yonkers NY. From the first day she had her, she was sick. She got worse so she took her to the vet and she was diagnosed with having Giardia(parasite in the intestine). She bought some prescription meds for the dog. She went back to the pet store and they told her it was not their problem. I am involved because her parents told her they did not want animals in the house. They refuse to get involved.The dog is staying with her boyfriend. Yesterday the dog thru up 10 times, start shaking and then passed out. She and her boyfriend are going to go back to the petshop today. There is such a thing as a Pet Lemon Law!
I have a Yorkie. She fell in love with mine and that is why her boyfriend bought her one. Emotional purchase. I called the attorney generals office, consumer affairs. They told me they would send out a complaint form. After they have rec'vd it, it would take 6-8 weeks to process. I said" The dog could be dead by then!" She said, "That's the process here". I called 311, they told me to call the Att Gen. Grrr. I want the pet shop to take back the dog. My niece does not have the finances to provide medical care for the dog, and she should not have to! Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you, Melinda |
