so when you took tike to your vet, what was the diagnosis? sick due to what? did your vet say it's contagious? does your vet have a medical history report from the breeder's vet stating what upper respitory problem tike had? has benji and zip been taken to your vet? has your vet concluded the coughing is due to the same problem as tike?
it's very difficult to state a case when you don't have your arrangements in writing from the breeder. if you are concerned with zip and benji's coughing, take them to your vet and make sure it's either the same or different diagnosis from tike's coughing. get a written statement from your vet and go back to the breeder to discuss payment for the cost of treatment.
but regardless, it may be worthwile to keep the three dogs separated temporarily pending a treatment plan from your vet to ensure it is in fact not contagious. |
