So for someone to HAVE THEIR baby with them, and complain like that - I just had to speak my opinion. 2 years after his death, I got Smoky (my first Yorkie)- who has shown me just how "sickly" my poodle Jackson really was. I know it is frustrating, but that baby depends on you for EVERYthing!

RIP Jackson - momma will always love you!

Hi there and welcome to YT. I was angry about that statement too. Nobody should ever compare a animal to a car. It is always tragic when a beloved pet becomes serious ill. However, it is up to the owner to take care of the animal and do what is best for the creature. I am not keen on giving it up because of the dog being sick. People make it work everyday , and will do anything in their power for a pet. Even if it is a financial sacrifice.

Something about that combined with wanting to sue the breeder 4 years later just didn't sit well with me. No offense JMO

I agree. People now a days will sue for just about anything and everything. That vet may have over charged but the OP agreed to it. Always get a second opinion, many people find out later it was something else or they could have recieved the same treatment at a better price.
As far as that poor little pup, if I had a problem the first thing I would do is contact the breeder, not smear their name across the internet. How does that help that little pup? Personal matters should be dealt as personal matters. If the OP had a problem with the pup the first to know about it should have been the breeder. I am not sure how anyone can be mad at a person that didn't even know what was happening. Sadly things may pop up in a line, and if they did in this situation the breeder should have been given the opportunity to make it right.

Our pets depend on us to take care of them, and if we can not do this then they need to be taken where they can.
We may not know the entire story, there are always two sides. Just from the info given this is what I see.

The most important thing is keeping that pup from suffering.
