| princes mom - i agree. she was sick when i got her and it got worse with the meds being made wrong. thus costing me a whole lot to save her. it suck because the vet didnt really do anything wrong. they put in a percription to be made so that the compound of the meds would be weak enough for her weight. but the compond place made it wrong and it was too strong for her. thats what made her throw up. so it is this third party compounding place that made the big mistake. so basically I cant really ask the breeder to pay for all the vet bills becuase i was ok with paying for meds in the first place. it only cost me like 40$ for meds. but becuase of the other thing which almost took her life, now i'm out 800$ for somthing that me or the breeder had no control over. so thats why after my last email to her i kind of droped the subject. yes, she sold me a sick puppy. yes i was doing everything to make her better by doctors orders. but with all of the events i don't really know whos to blame because one thing caused the next. mardelin- i will deffinatly concider this but i'm really torn about whos at fault and if i should just pay because she is in my care and under my roof and at the end of the day, my responsibility. -alora |

| vinnie doggy- I have been sooo afraid that my boyfriend and I will get giardia. befor we found out she was sick we were letting her lick our face and mouth and whatever. like it wasnt a problem. but the vet said that we could get sick from her so we went into panic mode. haha we havent felt any symptoms but i think my conciousness of it is making me feel sick. i'm glad you dont have it anymore becuase as i'm comming to find out, giardia seems terrible to have and hard to get rid of. |

Other than having her vet checked as all contracts ask for, and which the puppy buyer is responsible for. Everything else is the breeder's responsiblity. You pup wouldn't have had to be treated for anything else had the breeder been reputable/responsible. Think of it another way, if you don't take the steps, this woman will continue operating in the same manner. Some other unsuspecting family will come along and suffer the consequences. Your Giardia fear is not without warrant, but difficult to get. I would see your Dr and ask for a prescription of Flagyl as a safe guard. You are too nice, at that is wonderful, but right is right. Much more should be done to stamp out BYBer's. Not only for the protection of the consumer but, most of all for the protection of these wonderful little creatures. Not taking care of such things is a form of animal abuse.

| I just read back on my last email from her and she stated that she has a 1 year health guarantee for fatal congentital defects but no guarantee for paracite problems. she said that she saw no sign of the pup being sick. she also has a partner that breeds and i guess the one i got was from her partner and not her. ugh. she told me that she started treating her brother who was caged with her for the giardia i guess... but she didnt untill after i told her that alice had it. i kind of think she really didnt know this dog was sick because she got it from her partner. but if they are a team then i would think they would have communication between each other about the dogs that they are trying to sell. so who should i contact? should i show her the lemon law thing? I also have another question about puppy shots. so she had a parvo shot the begining of june, then another parvo shot, distemper and two others the end of june. then she got another distemper shot last week but no others. the vet says that because she is still sick we cant give her her 3rd set of shots and that we will have to start all over again because too much time will pass. is this true? will the two parvo and distemper shots not work after some time? will she really have to get all the shots over again? i really dont know anything about this. thanks!!!! -alora |

However, didn't you find out about your girl's problem on her first week home and on her first vet checkup? Geez I hate how these breeders try to get out of owning up to their responsibilities. How old is your girl?

| so i'm sure some of you are wondering who the breeder was that I got alice from. I have written a review and put it under the breeder review section. anyone who is interested feel free to take a look. anyways, alice is doing alright. she has been very sleepy lately which seems kind of weird. I will keep everyone posted after thursday when we go to the vet again. :]
