As for a breeder allowing someone to keep the dog and agreeing to pay for the vet bills. That would be pretty risky, like giving someone a blank check, expecting them to use it responsibly. If I am going to pay for the care, I would want to be the one making the decisions about his care. |
I know of one pup that was having siezures and when they changed the pups plastic plate to stainless steel the siezures stopped. Yes, there have been occasions of dogs having siezures with food, brought on by a batch of bad food or an allergic reaction.
A reputable breeder would work with the vet, new pup owner to get at the bottom of the problem. If it is diagnosed as a genetic defect, a reputable/responsible breeder would refund the pet fee and let the owner keep the pup. The refund is to assist in the medical care of the pup, that would be a reputable breeders main priority and standing behind ones dogs. Not the money.
