Phone conversations especially when one or both parties are upset certainly can lead to mis-understandings and mis-rememberings.
As an observer what we have here so far is a *he said/she said* situation. Document his medical issues through your vet reports and any testings that have been done. The ortho surgeon should also be able to weigh in with his opinion certainly on a pre-existing bone condition. Document the assessment of the LP assessment by the ortho and hopefully digital Xrays were taken which can easily be forwarded by your ortho to the breeders vet.
Send all documentation out by registered mail to the breeder. That is what I advise you to do.
At the minimum the breeder has come on here to share her side of the story; with objective proof of your boys health conditions she might be more willing to resolve (as a good breeder will) the situation with you. |
Thank you for the advice I really appreciate it, but I am just ready to put this whole ordeal behind me. I knew from the advice that the breeder gave me that she was not at all concerned for the wellbeing of the dog. At that point I would have to have fought her in court. It just seemed wiser to spend the money on the very best care for my baby and hope that he would recover and not lose his little leg. I was literally sick to my stomach every couple weeks when he would get an X-ray and the vet couldn't say either way if the surgery was successful or not. I would just stay hopeful and keep him off his leg and wait till the next vet visit... Every other week for 12 weeks!! Then one day it was all over and a perfectly healed leg! This was an old thread and reliving this has brought up very negative emotions for me and a lot of anger, but I felt it necessary to rehash what happened bc the breeder is trying to play the victim in this whole situation and that is unacceptable. Again thank you
For taking the time to give me very good advice!
