And tape worms are from fleas. All is treatable, but I would be concerned about parents and what condition they were in. Before you purchased the pup did you request photos of sire and dam? I understand pups getting car sick, but not throwing them into dehydration. I would think the breeder after showing vet written confirmation would pay ALL expenses, because obviously they delivered an unhealthy pup. But then again what condition are the parents in? Just curious wanting to educate myself.

My baby girl has Giardia to but my breeder does treat for it this was just a fluke thing that happened i started a post about it and there are some great links about giardia. Parents can be carriers and pass it to the puppies from what i have read .I am so sorry your baby had to go through that i know how hard it is when your baby is sick. I hope you can get your money back plus the vet bills!
