the new poster could be the breeder, what a dilemma and hard to know if this is the breeder fault because from what I read on GME with an exception of the strain in pugs, they don't know the cause, so there is a good chance other dogs of her's might never have been diagnosed with this. Also it comes on pretty fast so it is not likely this is something the dog had when it was sold. Fair or not fair just about every purchase contract states that if there is a problem you get a new dog, not vet bills paid. But when you have a dog for 6-8 months that's a hard option to accept since you don't want a new dog you just one the one you have to get better. Also in reading about GME the success rate of treatment is pretty slim so if you opt for expensive treatments it might not be fair to expect reimbursement. Not a good predicament to be in on either side of the fence. |
