| what to do? Hi -- We need your advice on what to do to protect others from the breeder we got our puppy from which was Simba;s Pride in Fallon Nevada. Our puppy was delivered to us at the state border listless and lethargic. We assumed it was the car trip etc. By the third day he was taken to the vet severly dehydrated from continual vomiting. The breeder told us she had two pups in the back of her car and one of them had thrown up a lot on the trip. However, she neglected to share this info when we paid for him and picked him up. Anyway our little guy almsot died the 4th day and was seizing. He had three of these episodes where we rushed him to the emergency hospital in the middle of the night. Finally Giardia and tape worm were diagnosed. The vet (vets) said he came with Giardia and that is what sent his system into hypoglycemic shock. They told us we needed to contact the breeder ASAP so she could treat her dogs. Finally the medication for Giardia that he took worked. The vet suspects that his mother is a carrier and said the tape worm is more common. Anyway in the beginning the breeder offered to help with expenses and or replace with a new pup if he died. We obviously had no interest in exchanging for another sick pup. Good news is our little guy survived ($2,200) later but now breeder will not help with bills. We have been legally advised that we have recourse as a clinically ill puppy voids any contract specifics to parasites but now we want to help others avoid the grief and heartache we endured. The breeder informed us that she is not going to treat her dogs for Giardia. Any ideas on how or where to report unreputable breeders. Thanks for any advice you can give. janlar3 |

| Well this is a good start. Unfortunately there are a lot of breeders out there like that. I hope your bagy is doing well now. |
