Inside Edition bought a puppy that was susposed to be 11 weeks old ...they vets estimated the puppy they received to be 5 MONTHS old
The poor dog they shipped had Giardia...which btw - IS contageous to humans - not to mention, makes the poor puppy feel miserable Giardia in Dogs
Giardia is a single-celled parasite that lives in your dog?s intestine. It infects older dogs but more frequently infects puppies. Dogs become infected when they swallow Giardia that may be present in water or other substances that have been soiled with feces.
How will Giardia affect my dog?
Giardiasis, the disease caused by Giardia infection, usually results in diarrhea. Some animals with giardiasis may also throw up. Having giardiasis a long time can cause weight loss; generally poor condition; and even death, when the disease is serious |
Yes I did see it. But I also have some inside info on the age of the dog. That was a complete fabrication of the truth.
I found out recently that Mr. Moore uses the same vet as we do.
I was at our Vet office Friday getting health certificates for our llamas & I was talking about the IE report. My vet said IE called him and asked about a dog he sent a health cert on that was reported as 11 weeks old. IE said their vet guessed it was 13 weeks and they wanted him to explain this. Now I know just as you do you can not tell age by just looking at a dog to the day or week even. They then asked about the Giardia and My vet said he did no tests the health cert. only requires that the dog looks healthy & when it was at his office it was healthy. I have a very good vet IMO and I have never had any problems with him so I have no problem believing what he says. So go figure.
