Ok, We just found out that Sophie has legg Perthes disease. I am just sick, my stomach is all upset. Sophie will be 11 months old on the 12 of may, and is schedule for the surgery on Tuesday. We will then get her spay at a later date. Doctor does not want to do both surgeries at the same time.

We brought Sophie with a 1 year guarantee against any hereditary illness. Have talked to the breeder and said she would work with us if we went to her Vet. Which we did. When we were at the vets office the vet called the breeder and informed her of the diagnosis. She said she did not want sophie(which we are not willing to give her up) But told the vet we could have a new puppy.

Now she is saying that if we want a new puppy we will have to give sophie up. Or if we keep sophie we can have a puppy for half price. We do not want to give sophie up and really do not know if we want another puppy. Do you think we could ask for help in paying for the surgery? The contract says "a replacement puppy will be given".

Please help
