My advice to you is to get the puppy's records from the previous vet and SUE this breeder for both your medical costs and the cost of treating the puppy too.

This the second time this week that I have heard of a puppy having ringworm coming from a breeder. If the puppies all had ringworm they HAD to have got it from the mother~so my question would be if this breeder did not want to treat the puppies what kind of vet care if this person providing to the mother? The thought make me just sick Did you see the parents of the puppies? Where did you purchase this puppy from?

I agree....make sure you get copies of all vet records and then keep excellent records of the treatment and take them to small claims court. You won't need a lawyer etc and you just present your facts .....

You really would also be helping future puppies so they don't have to suffer with this.

Totally agree! Ringworm is a highly contagious fungal infection that crosses species; and once infected, it is extremely hard to eliminate.

This person you purchased your puppy from is No friend or ethical breeder.
Sure, fungal infections can be acquired under the most careful conditions, but the key factor here is that the breeder was informed by a medical person, and they declined treatment. I would go to her house and have documentation of the treatment and tell her that I expect reimbursement.
I would also put her name out here to warn others of her unethical practices. Totally disgusted with people like that.....

I wouldn't go to the house...people that are such scum bags that would ignore treating a helpless puppy would do just about anything...take it to small claims...much safer.

I'm so sorry this happened to you and your fur baby. It's so sad that some breeders would do anything just to sell a puppy.

Welcome!
Your little guy is adorable!
I see that you live in Maineville, we live close! We actually use a groomer in the Landen/Maineville area.
I also would be interested in knowing the breeder's name, since we are in the same general area. I'm so sorry that happened to you!

I did see the parents of the puppies. They both looked very healthy. The mom weighed around 5 lbs. and the dad weighed 3. The Breeders name is DAN B Breeders.

Yes we too are getting over ring worm. I tried the athletes foot cream but it wasn't strong enough it didn't help at all.

I feel awful giving him a bath every day, blow drying him because its so dag on cold, the drops I put on him must sting a bit because he squirms trying to get away when they hit his skin. As soon as he hears that water running he lies flat on the floor with his head tucked between his front paws like he's hiding. lol. He does like the oral meds. that I give him twice a day.

I do have a letter from the breeders vet stating that he did do a puppy check on him and that he told him he had ring worm and that he declined the care.

It's not so much about the money as it is that he flat out lied to me. We just started a new anti biotic yesterday and I don't think he is tolerating it very well. He seems very gassy (stinky stinky) and his stool is much softer.

You guys are all awesome...........

Sad to say it is usually only $$$ that will straighten out a poor breeder and you will be saving future puppies from this awful experience if you take them to small claims court.

You could also post your thoughts on ripoff report

This is something else that you need to be aware of is that when you go into the dog breeding world LIES tend to be more the normal (not all breeders) because the breeders can get away with it.

If you can you should scan the vet letter into this thread so if people do a search on these breeders your information will come up.

I think this is a great idea. Other people need to be warned about this guy. I would definitely take him to court. It's not always about you getting your money back, it's about making HIM know you are not going to take that crap from him.

It's also great that HIS vet is cooperating with you. Sometimes these bad breeders find bad vets and they work together. You will win this case. Gook luck. Hope your little guy gets well very soon.

Glad you wrote this ... because this is one more of those lies in the breeder world..."The vet checked the puppies and all are healthy"...some vets will lie because the breeders are a continued paycheck for them. Good point

Sue the pants off the breeder...

[Godislove]

Amazing what breeders will do and say just to sell and make money. So sad. I got a male and the breeder even mentioned a lady who wanted to breed her dog with him. Then only one testicle descended and I ended up paying a pretty penny. When I called her and asked if she would help pay for it, she said the common thing. You can bring him back if you want to get your money back. Then she said something to the fact, if I'd have know you only wanted him for breeding purposes, I wouldn't have sold him to you.

It was very invasive surgery getting to the testicle inside or I wouldn't have asked her. The vet said it is probably in the lineage somewhere. Well, I love him, and don't care if he can't breed now. He is by baby.

You really need to do research on these breeders. It's best if you can get referrals.

poor Rocco.
I hope he starts feeling better soon, now that you know he has ring worm. I'd be darn upset too.

[CheriH]

The mans name that sold us Rocco was Douglas Sizemore. The info. we were given to register him AKC said Dan B Breeders....

I am taking him to small claims court. It's more principle than anything else.

I love him regardless and he has brought me a million smiles.
