I had a full blood work panel done, where they checked kidney and liver functions and anything else that could be tested with blood work, I wanted one of those BAT tests, but the vet said it was not necessary since her blood work was normal. I also had a general x ray done of the chest area, which again the vet said I did not need but I pushed for. I had the blood work done again the following year. And I kept trying to get the vet to look really closely at her heart since she pants hard while playing, vet said I did not need to worry, but LOL after a year on YT I keep waiting for the shoe to drop. I do think the blood work is a good idea since now I know what is normal for Lola and plan to repeat this every year in the spring.
I had my first test done the day after I picked her up and was fully prepared emotionally to take her back if I did not get good results. I have a neighbor that bought a morkie from her friend and it had pretty bad liver shunt right out of the gate, so like you said a cheap puppy can get pretty expensive, but then so can a pound puppy. Of course even with the numerous tests I had for Lola things can still go wrong
