Hi, I bought a puppy last week and he's got kennel cough, I've not had him round any dogs yet.
The day I picked him up the breeder rang me before I set off to say he's started with a cough and shed managed to get a same day appointment for him so I waited to hear back from her, about an hour and half maybe 2 hours later she rang to say the vet had said it's just a simple cough and is okay, the vet had given him an injection with antibiotics and some antibiotics to take home. She rang me to say she wanted to treat him with her and I could get him in a week's time when he was better or if he got worse she could take him back to the vets. But she sent a photo and I just wanted him home so badly to bond with my older dog so I said I wanted to collect still and I'd medicate him so I picked him up that day.( I know it was stupid of me) She said he had been vaccinated for kennel cough and gave me evidence of that. But now I've had to take him to my vets and they say it's kennel cough and I have a vet bill to pay now, the breeder is saying she's not giving me any money towards it as she offered to keep him till he was better and that she knocked £50 off the price I paid for him as he wasn't 100% but he's now also given my other dog kennel cough too!
Would I be unreasonable to take her to small claims court or is it my fault for taking him anyway and she's within her rights not give me money?
