My baby might not make it and its my fault

[spiritwings1202]

Sending prayers...you need to find out if he has tapeworm bc if he does it is taking all his nutrients. He is so young and small and frankly if he has tapeworm then that is why he is having problems with hypoglycemia.
I am praying you get some answers.

[sandy simpson]

You get that in writing and signed so if she backs out of the agreement on that precious dog i would be in court do not trust her she should have never let it go so young-

[sandy simpson]

My prayers for little joey take each day and let your heart and friends and vet guide you- we willpray positively for a complete healing for joey- lord jesus your great power be unleashed in this little dog- heal this problem and let this dog live- you hear our cry and will answer- give us favor amen

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

I just saw this. Good thoughts and blessings go out to little Joey

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

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 thought the same thing...why would that baby be taken away being so young and small.

Any breeder I know would not let one go for at least three months, longer if tiny....This is just getting sadder and sadder....

That breeder is TOTALLY out of line...

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.

You are a good momma. These babies have a way to get in our hearts. They are very special.

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.

The short answer is yes. And there are pretty good puppy lemon laws in Florida - I think that is where you live.

No good and ethical breeder will let a puppy go, especially to a novice owner that is weighing under 2lbs and less than 12 wks old. Some leeway of course for the bigger ones at 10 or 11 weeks who are weighing solidly in at 2.5 or 3lbs.

Razzle came to me a "novice" owner of a toy breed weighing in at just 2lbs and 12 wks old. He was so very tiney to my eyes.

I am so very sorry that this your first experience with a beautifull baby pup turned out this way. Please know that there are many ethical breeders out there, that can and will support you. Also know that here you will be supported.

I am praying hard for your baby and for you. There will one day be a light at the end of this tunnel.

I agree. This doesn't sound like a breeder who is taking care of the pups or new owners. Again I'm so sorry you are having to deal with all this.

[sandy simpson]

You cry because you love your dog- yorkies win our hearts over so quickly so do not feel bad for loving your little pup so much- keep positive thoughts and we all will pray his health back

[chachi]

Are you returning the pup to the breeder today or keeping him at the vets overnight

[The 4 M]

My thoughts are with you and Joey, this is such a sad following, can't believe in your country no financial support is available and the vet is thinking money first and an animals live second, really sad thought, think if your in contact with the breeder and she has offered to take the pup to her vet then she can not be all bad, she brought little Joey into the world that's something that would be hard to turn your back on and couldn't imagine her doing anything wrong by the pup x

[LolaKaty]

I live in South Florida too! I wish I could come over and give you a hug-so sorry you have so much sorrow from your little one. Where did you get little Joey from?? Maybe Lil Sis and I can help you as I honestly do think the breeder has some responsibility.
