| Oops! Forgot to paste the emails! Hi Lisa, How is Molly doing? I’m glad she is so happy, and that you have the time to give her the extra care a young Tea Cup needs. I’m sorry you had to spend an extra $20 for medication over your initial vet check and to go back for a follow up. Although it our policy not to pay outside vet bills since we have a vet on staff, we will reimburse you for the $20 for medication, and $45 for the recheck on her stool. We want you to be a happy pet owner. If Molly does need any additional vet visits however, we are happy to have her here and seen by our vet, and to care for her here if she needs it. But we cannot pay for any additional outside vet bills. We will stand by the health of our puppy, and again, the offer is open, we will be happy to care for her here and with our own vet. Molly’s health is the primary concern. I’m glad Molly has such a good home. Please e-mail the address you would like me to mail your $65 reimbursement to. Thanks Beth Hi Beth,
To confirm with you the details about Molly; I purchased her from you on December 26th late afternoon. I then had inquired about all of the doses of Albon that she had received per your medication slip (last does only being the day prior Dec. 25th) and you had said "not to worry, that was just a preventative antibiotic for puppies who live in a kennel and that she was an extremely healthy puppy". I took her to the Vet on Monday the 28th and paid approximatley $88 for the office visit and the fecal exam. Today the 29th of December the Vet calls and informs me that she has coccidiosis and needs to start Albon. I today purchased that for $20 something and started her on it right away. I plan on taking her back to have a repeat fecal test in 1&1/2 - 2 weeks to be sure that it is all cleared up this time. She is a VERY happy puppy and does not appear stressed in the least. ( "The primary sign of an animal suffering with coccidiosis is diarrhea") She runs and chases us, is very playful and is eating and drinking. The diarrhrea I have seen has not been excessive and as bad at every stool. Some seem almost normal to me actually. The Vet is confident that Molly will get rid of this coccidiosis with this series of antibiotics and feels that it is best that she is now not with other animals where she can continue to get re-infected. If he is right about this, the only cost I should still incur would be the repeat Fecal test costing approx. $45. I drove a long way to get her and she seems very happy and content and is being taken great care of. I may have decided to get her at a later date had I been told that she in fact did have this parasite. It would be nice if you at the very least would reimburse me for the treatment that I had to pay for this so-called "healthy puppy" who in fact was not completely so. We love her to pieces and are all very attached to her as is she to us.
Sincerely,
