Little over 9 weeks. I don't know but I will ask him to.

So you haven't had him very long. :(. I'm sorry but I'm thinking there might be breeder responsibility here.

Sad though it is, from what the vet says the poor tiny innocent is so seriously ill.....with something....that it may not make the trip to the "breeder" and get tested and properly diagnosed. I seem to be one of the few who places any blame on the so called breeder, she is the one who "dumped" ( and I use that word purposely) a very young, very tiny baby on an unsuspecting mom to take care of. And with some bad health issue too. Now the poor adoptive mom is totally stressed out, depressed and in debt because of the breeder's actions.
I am so upset and can only pray hard that somehow the little Joey makes it against all odds. I just cannot imagine the pain you are in now. Hugs.

I've had him since Monday night. I've been crying so much you've think I had him all my life.

I copied some lines from the contract. Would I be able to use this against her?

7. This guarantee does not cover illnesses contracted after the Buyer takes possession of the animal or injuries due to falls or other physical harm. Never leave the puppy unattended on a couch, table, or bed. Be careful closing doors. Be very careful where you step.

9.A veterinary finding of intestinal or external parasites is not grounds for declaring a dog unfit unless the animal is critically ill because of that condition. Information regarding hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) will be provided therefore the Seller will not be accountable should that occur.

The Seller guarantees the puppy for 1 year from the date of sale against hereditary and congenital disorders that may interfere with the animal’s ability to lead a normal life. If, within 1 year, following the date of sale of the animal, a licensed veterinarian of the Buyer’s choosing certifies in writing that the animal has a life-threatening, congenital or hereditary disorder the Buyer has the right to return the animal for a full refund of the purchase price excluding veterinary costs related to the diagnosis and excluding shipping costs associated with the return. Euthanasia of the dog without the Seller’s prior knowledge or consent voids this guarantee.

I am not a lawyer nor a vet, but from following the history on your thread I would suggest that you do have a case.
7 . The illness or injury was not contracted post adoption, and you took great care of Joey.
9. If the reason for the illness were a parasite ( .??? ) , 1) the pup is certainly critically ill. And 2) if the parasite was in the pup prior to adoption ( as I would think it was, from the mother/fleas etc) then the breeder should be liable. As for the hypoglycemia, I think the health issue most probably caused it....not any inaction by the adoptive mom.
The last para would give you a refund of the cost of the pup only, not the vet fees. If the dog is not going to survive, God forbid, it looks like that is all you will get. Very inadequate I know. In that case the pup should be returned to the breeder alive to be assessed. Not a very comprehensive or generous contract!!
When this is over, hopefully with Joey well again, perhaps you should give the breeder's name here so YTers are warned. This is not a compassionate or good breeder in my view? Again prayers for all involved.
