The breeder had given Buddha albon and discovered that he was allergic to the sulfa so she printed in big bold letters on his medical records...ALLERGIC TO ALBON or any sulfa based medicines.
He did develop coccidia and had to be treated with chorid.
I would be curious to know how many others got the albon in their "care package"? |
I know it's common but I don't think it's common amoung good breeding practices - I know it's hard to get rid of but a good breeder shouldn't have recurring problems with this - The breeder I got Chanel from just doesn't care enough to clean up her act - I know this for a fact. This isn't hearsay or slander - she just doesn't care....
But after being on these sites a while now ... I don't see coccidia as something that many of our yorkies have or had - Sure some get it - but the majority of people I've spoken with in the last few years had no experience with it...
I think it's nice to send home a remedy for a puppy - but I also feel a VET should be examining a puppy upon bringing them home and then treating accordingly...This isn't to say you're wrong - but no - I sure didn't get anything like that when I got either of my girls...My breeder totally denied she has sick puppies.
but I don't think it's THAT common with caring breeders....
