There are what are called stickies at listed in every section. There are a few on how to pick your breeder, your pup. The first rule of thumb is you buy your breeder first, then your pup. If you don't feel comfortable with your breeder, leave. I don't care how cute that pup is, cause all pups are cute. A reputable breeder is one that is there for you 7x24 and stands by their breeding.
But, again let me reiterate, this horrible breeder you bought your pup from is responsible for your pups vet bills and that is per California Law.
I hope once you get this settled you reveal who the breeder was so, that no one else has to go through what you're going through.
Use this site to your advantage, ask questions, when need be. But, you did the right thing, you got your baby to the vet. Coccidia is common and may have not reared it's ugly head, had the pup not been removed from it's mom at such a young age. |
I get it.... I plan on calling her in the morning. But I have a feeling she is going to say that she's not responsible, as I left Chole in a crate for a few hours at night, and when I checked on her she had poop everywhere. When I told her that, she flipped out. She said you should not crate her, and what does she have to do for me. Write a whole list on how to take care of a yorkie. She was very rude .
Mardelin, where are these laws stated ? Is there a website on it ?
I'm pretty sure this has happened to her before, as she had her friend whom was there at the time of purchase call me, to see what was wrong. I spoke with her, and let her know that I was on my way to the vet. When I said that she said I could come to the breeders or sellers house so they can look at her, and take care of her for a couple of hours if needed. I wansn't about to take any chances, so I said no, and told her I think the vet should look at her. She told me that her friend(breeder/seller) had albon if needed because the vet was going to charge me alot of money for it.
Ugh I really didn't know there were puppy brokers, but the more I think about things, the more it sounds so true. I never did see the parents, and she told me she would send me the AKC registration.
