Angry at Breeder
 

I posted awhile back saying that my lil guy had some "dry patches". I took him to the vet and guess what? RING WORM. The breeder told us he had taken him to the vet for his puppy checkup and the vet said it was just "dry skin" told us to bathe him once a week etc. Well we told the vet our story and our vet called the breeders vet and the breeders vet told us that he had told the breeder that he had ring worn and the breeder declined treatment for him. The breeders vet also told our vet that he had seen 4 other puppies from the same breeder and they also had ring worm. My husband and I both ended up getting it and it has cost us a small fortune trying to get his skin cleared up. He has several large patches of fur missing. This upsets me because I trusted them. They seemed nice and sincere and honest. I still would have bought Rocco, I just would have taken him to the vet sooner. I have emailed and called this breeder several times but no answer or reply. To me it has NOTHING to do with the money it's that he LIED flat out lied. Rocco gets a bath everyday with a special anti-fungal shampoo, he's been on 2 different anti-biotics and we are starting a third one today, and some stinky drops that i have to try to put on all the patches....... I feel like I am torturing just trying to get him better. I just don't understand why he flat out lied. Sorry for the rant but I just don't understand some ppl now days.

Sorry you have that problem and the breeder is greedy. Make sure you let others know what happened to you.

Also Try TeaTree Oil Shampoo & Cond. You can get it in oil form but you need to dilute it for your baby. Works great on ring worm. (its a fungus not a worm)

Oh my....:( That is awful!! For all 3 of you! I honestly don't understand how people can be so sweet and nice to others when knowing all along they are gonna stick it to you....Grrrrrr
I hate dishonest people!! I know hate is a strong word but the feeling of being done wrong is strong too....to bad everyone wasn't like the caring folks here on YT...LOL
Hope your little guy feels back to normal soon.....

Sorry this happened - most unnecessary. I hope that you are all better soon!

Some people just breed for the wrong reasons...At least Rocco is on his way to getting better.

BTW, love his name. I debated between Rocco & Maxililian for my dog, but my daugher chose the name Max. :)

That is so messed up! I am so sorry for you and your fur baby! I would send a letter to the breeder since you can't contact them.

SOOO.. tell us all the name of this breeder and we will give him ALL the Bad advertising he could hope for and more.Lets stick it to this scumbag !

Oh wow...I would be super mad too.:(

I think since he flat out lied to your face, you should out him and let other people know who this person is and avoid them at all costs!

Your poor baby, I hope he gets well soon.

I'm so sorry for what all of you have to go through but at least your baby has a good home.

Sorry to hear about your bad experience. At least your dog now has a caring owner. Did i understand it correctly and you and your husband also have the ring worm on yourselves now?
I have no words of wisdom on this as i am not familiar with this, but i wish you luck.

Hi I'm new and I just wanted you to know that ath1etes foot cream wi11 work on ring worm. For yourse1f and the pup. My ex's boss used to bring his dog to work and he gave it to the who1e office. Boss ended up buying a case and handing it out to a11 the emp1oyees worked 1ike a charm.
Good 1uck

LOL, I'm just wondering, does your "L" key not work? ;)

btw welcome to YT!

LOL

I read her post and didn't even notice until you said something. Too funny.

Ringworm is highly contagious and can be transmitted between humans and their pets. Wrestlers are known to contract it from the wrestling mats if they are not sanitized properly after use.

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 :mad: Did you see the parents of the puppies? Where did you purchase this puppy from? :confused:
