That isn't necessarily true. Those vet checks ups don't immediately show everything. When I got my puppymill girl Bijou, I took her for her check up immed. The puppymill breeder had already mentioned the kennel cough and sent some Clavimox with me. She didn't call it kennel cough, just a little cold. According to her papers the pup had been wormed and UTD on shots. Within a week I noticed her stools becoming loser which prompted a fecal exam. It was then found she had worms and coccidia. To make a long story short I am still paying vet bills and treating all her ailments. Do I blame the puppymill? Absolutely. I was not sold a healthy dog by any means. Could all of this been found out during that first vet exam? Nope. Doesn't mean I wasn't ripped off. |
You are absolutely right!! Timmy came from a broker (puppy mill) took him to the vet the following day I got him. Vet said he's in perfect health. Few days later the loose stool and he had coccidia. Then 1 month later he wasn't eating and rapidly losing weight.. took him to the vet they had to start IV's on him right away. He's doing fine now but I spent so much money during the first 2 months of having him.
