I am in need of advice guys.Keep in mind this is my first breeder experience... July 3 I purchased a 9 week old male yorkie from a local breeder. She said he had a health guarantee and was registered. He seemed fine. The following Wednesday he was at the vet because he wouldn't eat that day , and wasn't himself. Vet diagnosed him with Coccidia and gave him Albon. That night he developed diarrhea and vomiting. Vet said this is normal. The next day he seemed a little better and I was supplementing with Nutrical and he seemed to drink and eat a little. However, he quickly began do decline with severe vomiting and major bloody diarrhea. he was carried back and diagnosed as dehydrated from the illness. he was kept under supervision and IV was used. The vet had advised me to contact the breeder because of the 13 day incubation period of the coccidian and that her dogs should be tested. They tested positive too. Now, my dog is on IV, nausea meds, and morphine for pain. The diarrhea is shedding his intestional lining and he is in pain with constant vomiting. This breeder says she will replace him but her environment is infected with coccidian and my vet advised against it. I am now out the amount paid plus $1000 in vet bills. My pup is not going to live. I signed a euthanasia statement in case he got so bad that it was inhumane to continue. This breeder will not help guys...at all. I am in SC. Can I do anything since he came home with coccidian? He was only 2.6 pounds and just couldn't fight it
