I waited two weeks to get her as to be done with the Christmas holidays and choas. She was then supposedly 18 wks. old. When I arrived to get her I was informed she had just started coughing that a.m. and was put on Clavimox. I took her to the vet the following morning for a rountine new puppy check up. The vet said she had Kennel Cough and to continue with the Clavimox. The vet also said that he wouldn't guess her age to be 18 wks. based on her teeth but more like 12 wks. old. Also, in that short two week span, she is now weighing 32 oz. Also, she has worms and I was given a wormer for her.
Did I get ripped off? I am not a breeder, so I want to know if this is normal to have a sick pup like this? I purchased her (paid for) at 16 wks. so the breeder knew I would pick the pup up in two weeks. Yet it was still sick. The pup is APRI reg. with a birthdate showing her to be 18 weeks. Yet, the vet felt she was younger. So did the breeder scam me in order to make the puppy appear to be older with a lower weight?
I am going to keep her, but for the money I paid, I was expecting a tiny, healthy puppy. That's what I thought you got when going to a breeder. Not so? |

HI and Welcome
I am here in Nebraska too. Sorry for All you have been though.
I can't tell if you were taken or not but I can tell you a lil story.
my GF had a Litter of farm kittens.... for some reason 4 of the 5 died suddenly. the 5 one was doing good but had some loose sools. she gave her to her sis in law at 9 weeks old. When her sil took the kitten to the vet the vet said NOOOO the kitten was like 4 weeks if that, I was like????????, I saw them being born in early june and it was late Augest??? But the kitten had been sick so it stunted the growth I guess????? Maybe the vet is mistaken maybe you were taken . All tat really matters is that yu love your baby and.......... I for one Am
SO happy another Nebrasken is her 
I hope she is doing good and feel free to Pm me any time...... Hey and Happy New year
