I can't imagine a 10 week old pup at only 8 oz! That's what mine weigh at 1 week and they will be about 3.5 - 4 lbs as an adult (according to the chart as they are currently growing). This little baby needs lots of care. The worms and parasites are treatable, and there is good advice in these posts. Keep on it, tho' as it is not a good thing to transfer to humans. Looks like you'll have your hands full for awhile...good luck.

Good for your for at least trying. I hope you win of course.
Some breeder! Sending your little one good wishes
for a speedy recovery.

Welcome to YT.

Good for you! Fight them for a refund to pay her Vet bills.

Please do not give her back, these breeders sound beyond awful, and I can only imagine her living conditions there, these types of breeders are just in it for the $ and I seriously doubt they would take care of her if you gave her back, they would probably put her to sleep

The 3 things she has is totally treatable, I know you are doing your best and are tired, but soon everything could be great!

About your neighbor, maybe until things clear up, you can find someone to help her with her Yorkie

Just another update. Ally and my neighbor's dog have ringworm! More meds for everyone$$$$$ Nothing new from the breeder.

Oh, no!!!! I would advise sending the breeder a written letter with a copy of the Florida statute and copies of the vet bills attached. Give her a deadline of 10 days to respond and tell her if she doesn't, you will be filing a complaint with the Attorney General's Office.

Here's the statute for you to print off:

Florida's Pet Lemon Law

this is just awful!

MaddiesMommie · 05-11-2010, 05:27 PM

Glad to see you taking action. Good for you! Good luck in your fight.

Lizzie07 · 05-11-2010, 07:20 PM

Hurray for you! The breeder should have two reimburse you. I feel for you having two more dogs with ringworm. It is such a pain! I hope you can knock it out quickly.

If its any consolation, I read in one report for shelter medicine that ringworm usually plays itself out after a couple months. I'll see if I can find the article.

Good luck.

I am so sorry you are going through this, how horrible....I am praying for you and your lil ones, that they get well soon, and you can start enjoying them.....

I didnt see your post, I just posted a lil bit ago, about Giardia, my lil Bella has it STILL. second round...grrrrrrr!!! The bleaching starts again in the morning...uggggh!

Good luck to you!!

baby yorkie · 05-12-2010, 02:43 AM

Okay, now that I know I have more than one dog with ringworm and giardia, does anyone know if I should keep my baby quarantined? Any helpful advice would be appreciated. I am at the end of my rope. I need sleep and my life back!!! It is HOT here in Florida and I'm wearing jeans, a long sleeve sweater, and playtex gloves to keep me from getting more of the ringworm. My hands and arms are so raw that I now have to do this to keep safe. I can't bear not touching the puppies though! I am cleaning/sterilizing again today. I'm trying to do this at least every other day. I did research and found out that Apple Cider Vinegar should help with the ringworm. My neighbor and I will start trying it today.

loveshay · 05-12-2010, 07:53 AM

You poor thing, my heart goes out to you.....

GurleyGirl · 05-13-2010, 07:42 AM

I am so sorry you are going thru this.

If I were you, I would separate all the dogs until the conditions clear up... otherwise it just may be a never-ending cycle.

I am so sorry your puppy is so sick, keep it up, i have gone through H and back with bella and its worth every penny. Its def a lot of work but it will pass eventually!

sweets4u · 05-13-2010, 08:34 AM

i took my little guy Travis to the vet 2 days after i recieved him from a breeder in wyoming, I live in philadelphia,
he was flown in. the vet said he was perfectly healthy and 1week later he has diareah with blood in it. I took him to another vet and they ran test and said he does have an intestinal parasite, should this other vet have been able to catch it and what about the vet that saw him before he was flown over? I did take a fecal sample to the vet that saw him right after i recieved him. He is 3 1/2 months old and weights 1lb. 13oz. he is still eating and doesn't go constantly only in the morning and at night but when he does there is always blood. I am still waiting for the vet to call and find out what kind of parasite it is.
