My question is how many new owners take their puppies to places like that before they go home? I think many people would be shocked at how easy it is for a puppy to come in contact with many of these illnesses. |
But dobie, many of the things the puppies supposedly contracted have an incubation period of 5 or more days - those aren't things that are just "picked up" at a store/wherever and show up during the vet exam the next day.
