We got our pup from a farm and the breader was highly recommended and we know a few folk that have got pups from the same farm and are doing well
We've been told to maybe contact the breader and let him know whats happening with the pup as when we got him we assumed he was healthy went to vet for his checkup and was told he had ear mites and paid for treatment for this then experienced a mild dose of diarrhoea which we then had to pay more money for 2 tins of special food and paste for a few days had also said to vet about our concerns about his poo as was always soft and we kept seeing blood (tiny spot) so he recommended that we handed in a sample so they can see what was going on again that wasn't cheep £80 (still awaiting results) had spoke to vets yesterday to see if they were in and said that Sunday night there was quite a bit of blood and he started the pup on antibiotics just now just to be on the safe side again more money.
The pup is 13 weeks and so far we've spent over £100 in vets in the 4 weeks we've had him
Plus were having a time of it the now with bitting etc
When we say to breader about all the concerns about health what will he do?
As we're thinking the pup probably hasn't been checked over by his vet as puppies were born in April
Where as all the other dogs we've seen that have been from the farm were obviously born before
We are determined to make this work for and hopefully he will snap out of the bitting stage and continue with constant training but we have had a family chat that if and its a big IF we may need to rehome him if things don't change
My big question is will the breader decide to take him back if were have concerns etc or will he just brush it aside and are we in the right to say to him about this
