The puppy isn't sick, at least not when he saw her, but she hadn't been eating much. He said that she was too young to have been separated from the mom so it could lead to health risks. As of now, the puppy hasn't been eating at all. I don't think she knows how to eat on her own yet, I started feeding her with a bottle, but she hates it. I tried to keep her hidrated by forcing her to drink water with a bottle.
He didn't refuse to trear her, thats what I mispoke. He checked her, took her temperature, asked me what she ate, etc and advised me to return her instead of treating her myself because he thought that they should be responsible for the dog, not me. He also checked her health card that they game me and said that all the vaccines that they claimed to have given her were too much for her age, and that I should talk to them about that because in case the dog got sick, the scammers could say that it was because of any treatment that he gave them, instead of their mistreatment of the animal.
I did get attached to her, I have actually not been able to hold back tears. We sent her back this morning, everyone has advised us to give the puppy back and ask for a full refund, we have talk to other breeders, vets, friends. If we keep the puppy the scammers just get away with it and are not held accountable for what they did. I asked my uncle to drive her, since I wasn't able to leave work today amd its a four hour drive. She still hasn't got there, but last I spoke to my uncle, she was doing ok, still not eating or drinking anything.
I don't know if we will get our money back, I have been arguing about it with the scammers, they want to give me another dog, this time truly purebred, certified and microchipped (what I payed for to begin with), we don't want another puppy, we just feel heart broken, so we declined and they actually got mad about it and the guy had the nerve to say that I should forget about what happened and just take the new dog. When I sayed I wouldn't, he said I was terrible at doing business (which I actually agree with, considering I got lied to and scammed). So, at this point we don't know whats gonna happen. I never expected to pay so much for a heart break, lol. |
