So I went to see my baby yesterday and noticed she was somewhat luthargic, I asked the girl if I could still take her home on Saturday and she said that the vet had seen her a few hours prior to me getting there so I asked what the vet said and she told me the vet said the pup has pneumonia!

I was there crying for like 45 minutes, I couldnt believe it! After making my decision and thinking that it was just a simple kennel cough and that I could take her home with me tomorrow I was told she had to stay for a few more days and ONCE AGAIN was offered a store credit for a future puppy or the choice of trading her in for another pup.

Today I will go back to see her and the other pups. I am devastated. I will keep you guys posted.

I purchased a Bichon Frise a week ago, exactly a week later I took her to the vet to get her checked as suggested by the seller.

Well, my vet asked me to keep an eye on her b/c he thought she may have kennel cough. Anyway, I called the place I bought her from and they suggested I bring her in for 10 days so they could take care of her that way I wouldnt spend money on vet bills, which I did.

I went to visit her today and she looked so scared and different. I know about NY's Pet Lemon Law, I still have time to request a refund or exchange her for another dog but I feel horrible doing this. At the same time I am a little concern that she will not be a healthy dog b/c she has gone through so much in her short 12 weeks of life.

Here's the thing..I can exchange her for either a maltese or a yorkie however, the thought of doing this kills me, it hurts me to even think about doing such thing but I am also scared that she will get sick and I would lose her after getting attached to her. I can get the maltese for $400 dollars more and the yorkie for $300 dollars more. I am so confused. I don't know what to do and my heart is broken. I am asking God why me..Please help me make up my mind.

get a refund and walk away.. all her dogs have been exposed to disease . report her to the health dept and call the local newspapers. she is a puppy mill with sick dogs and should be put out of business.. you do not want a sick dog.. you will be helping future dogs this person is breeding if they are held accountable for selling sick dogs

If I were you, I would take your pup home and get her treated by my own vet. I have a Bichon here and she is wonderful - she is my third Bichon. Sunny will get better much quicke at home with you. Being where she is, she is just one of many and isn't getting the attention that she needs right now.

Unfurtunately, I can not get a refund. Pneumonia is curable according to what I was told so its not like she has a birth defect or anything. That's why I can't get my money back. On the other hand, I get 6 months of free insurance and 1 year health defect "guarantee". I am stuck with this place b/c of course I wont let them keep my money. Again, I will keep you all posted, thanks for your opinions.
