 What to do about a breeder
Hey everyone, I'm new to having a yorkie. I bought an 8 week old puppy for my wife this past Sunday. Sunday night we found worms on her and had to go to the animal urgent care center. It turned out she had a bad case of tapeworms, which was the reason she stopped eating. Then Monday we took her to the vet for a wellness exam and they said she had a "flea infestation" and a skin infection because of it. They also had to redo her initial shots as they don't recognize people who give the shots themselves at home. I called the vet she listed as the place who cropped the tails, did the dewclaws, and gave them a clean bill of health. They said yes to the tails and dewclaws, but that they never did a health inspection, AND the wormer the breeder bought does not kill tapeworms. There were a bunch of 2-week old puppies and two more 8-week puppies, plus three older parents still at the house. They were nice people, but I'm afraid the other puppies all have tapeworms and fleas as well. We tried contacting her with a text that explained everything and kindly recommended she get the other dogs checked. She never replied, but made a Facebook status saying her dogs are all 100% clean and the vet guaranteed it. Should we do anything? |
