She does have low blood sugar but the vet said he was more concerned with the other problems and to call my breeder. To no surprise she said the puppy was healthy when I gave her to you. Is that right? If she came with a defect isn't she liable to replace her for a healthy puppy since on her website she says the dog has a 1yr health guarantee?My puppy's name is Lilly by the way.Im sad but its only been a couple days that I have had her? What do I do? |
If she came with a guarantee and has life threatening genetic afflictions.....then the breeder is responsible. If the pup dies, a reputable breeder should give you the option of a new pup or return of the fee. If the pup lives but, requires additional vet care because of a live threatening disease than can be corrected, your fee should still be refunded so, to help you care for those needs.
If she has low blood sugar/hyperglycemia; that can be caused by a multitude of reasons. Sent home too young, not weighing enough, taken from her mom too soon, stress of leaving her home, being handled too much, allowed to play to long, not fed as often as needed to be fed. However, your breeder should have provided you specific instructions on how to handle this situation and how to prevent it. So, this could have been caused by your inexperience on how handle a pup.
