Someone may have suggested this already, but I will throw it out there. All ethics about breeding put aside.....You most likely have a contract that says exchange of a puppy not your money back. So, can you or would you be in a position to ask the breeder for a new healthy puppy and keep this one too. The breeder will most likely euthanize her if you send her back, so it is a win win for you and the puppy. But, you are obviously also entitled to a healthy puppy. |

This condition is not a reason for euthanasia. :( The best outcome is for the puppy to go to someone who places more value on the pup than on the money it could possibly garner by using it for breeding. |

This puppy just needs someone who will commit to taking care of her and possibly getting parotid duct surgery. |
OMG no...removal of the eye would not be necessary. But...I see people removing legs so that they can avoid paying to fix them. :( |

My response had more to do with the comment about euthanasia being an option. I realize she only wanted her for breeding. My hope is that someone will get this poor little puppy and love it. And, honestly, I DO hope she reads that thread that was posted about breeding. I have a strong feeling she has not educated herself about breeding. |

I agree, this absolutely is not a reason for euth. I'm worried if the pup is returned that could be the end result. |
Another member who is dealing with the same congenital dry eye just got an estimate of $2,000 from the University of Tennessee to do the parotid duct surgery. IMO, the ethical thing to do would be for the breeder to get this surgery done, then place this puppy in a very carefully selected home for no charge since monitoring/treating this condition will be lifelong. Reputable breeders take responsibility for the puppies they produce. Anyone who breeds should set money aside to properly care for any special needs puppies they produce. KCS should not be a death sentence. My 14.5 year old Lady has been living with it for 4 years. Hers is a result of nerve damage from being diabetic for almost eight years, not congenital. I am fanatical about her eye exams, artificial tears and eyelid cleansing, and her vision is still perfect - no scar tissue. She's had two eye ulcers and one infection in the 4 years. It's not cheap, but definitely manageable. It's just a matter of finding an owner who will commit to this puppy's care. |
I remember seeing this pup for sale.. Im sorry you dealt with a dishonest person and I hope that you decide to spay this girl so this problem doesn't occur again |
poor little girl - that sounds painful..... I don't know how to say this and please take it the way I hope it comes across...but eye problem aside I hope you re-think breeding this little female !! In all honesty I couldn't tell she WAS a parti (yorkie) and I'm sorry the breeder took you.... but since you have her now....maybe step back on the breeding issue until you know what you're facing ? |
To the OP...we have not heard back from you...Have you contacted the breeder for a refund? |
