Causing Heartache

The plaintiff purchased a golden retriever puppy from the defendant. The puppy got extremely ill the next day, and plaintiff ended up having to put the dog down, so she’s suing. The defendant argues she has been breeding dogs for several decades and that the dog was healthy when she sold it to the plaintiff.

No better proof the puppy picked up the virus at the breeders house than the breeder's dead pup from the same litter.

[@kittyfan]

the first pup died of amoebaeasis and a brain disorder. It probably didn't have a virus at all. No telling what the second pup had, other than diarrhoea...they never said. The 3rd pup DID have a virus....the only one that's sure out of the 3. In med you can't assume they all had the same thing because it makes for a better show...they didn't. Cheers anyways!

[@granitemoss1451]

I don't think so. The parasites were being treated under a vet's supervision and various diseases can indeed cause seizures. But even if if as you suggest- pup was unfit for sale and the breeder should have jus done the right thing without a court case.

[@kittyfan]

@@granitemoss1451 i think there's a law in one state (I'm guessing NY but it could be Conn ) that says even if the breeder didn't know, the pup has to be healthy for 30 days.....the new owner has 30 days to find out if the pup has a congenital defect. (that would take a LOT of tests!!) The plaintiff's pup didn't have a virus btw....only the defendant's pup did for sure. Giardia and coccidia are amoebas, and are easily killed with the right antibiotic (at least they USED to be killed easily with the right antibiotic....maybe they've grown resistant like bacteria do) The plaintiff's pup never had a virus..... it was euthanized because it was circling and had seizures and viruses don't do that. Amoebas can, though it would be very rare. Or maybe they picked up the pup and dropped it on it's head....who knows?? (that's the usual cause of brain injury in pups....that or running into a wall while playing) We don't really know what the neighbour's pup had...it got better.

[@mysinusesrkillingme3975]

Excuse me, but if your puppies have giardia and coccidia, you are NOT a good breeder She's a junk backyard breeder. Gross. Editing to add that giardia is transferable to people. So these people were lucky not to catch it themselves

[@jennilynreed7495]

Unfortunately it can’t be very easy to contract I had ever had either and my dogs were all healthy for years one time my kennel inspector brought it in after them not using bioseurirty messures. I worked for month disinfecting anything and everything back and for to the vets. I was able to quarantine and treat the puppies and dogs and got rid of it. Many vets will say it’s I pot get rid of as it sticks to clothing and will live in the ground. I did it to the best surprise. I feel bad they had a bad vet as that puppy should have been on a probiotic at the same time for treatment of 5 days and you keep the puppy bathed and the puppy should have had IV fluids it might have been saved. I feel for these people though as any loss is horrible the defendant should have refunded the money she is a horrible person and breeder. I was told that most adults dogs will be carries of the coccidia it just might not effect them. I don’t care you don’t sell a sick puppy and you know if your dogs and puppies are sick. Shut that breeder down !!

[@CristianoGardoni]

is not that easy...

[@mysinusesrkillingme3975]

@@CristianoGardoni yes, it is. If the mother is vaccinated and healthy, the pups will have the antibodies from nursing until they are old enough to be vaccinated themselves. The giardia vaccine isn't as successful sometimes, but the symptoms are glaringly obvious and should have been dealt with before the sale. If there is giardia in the ground, it now lives there, so you either replace the effected ground or cement over it. Simple as that. If you are a responsible, ethical dog breeder, this is common sense.

[@CristianoGardoni]

@@mysinusesrkillingme3975 And I repeat, it's not that simple... Puppies can be vaccinated after the eighth week, and the vaccine seems to be more effective when the puppy has already contracted the disease once, so let's say it prevents it. And as for colostrum, here too, how much milk is the mother able to provide? How many puppies are there? How many dogs are present in the breeding? As with all parasites, the higher the number of subjects, the more persistent the infection can be.

[@mysinusesrkillingme3975]

The defendant is a completely incompetent, arrogant, self-serving liar. And because of her alledged 40 years of breeding, she knows the difference between an autopsy & a necropsy. It only took her 40 years... I'd be surprised if she's got 4 years, and she has the nerve to claim that all 3 of those sick puppies illnesses were completely unrelated, including the one that died under her care. She's probably had a hard time taking responsibility for any of her incompetence over the years. Quite a few of the female dogs that end up at the local animal shelters in my area were dumped out in the streets or nearby rural areas by breeders that didn't want them anymore. These types of people are disgusting...😤

That pup absolutely got the giardia from the breeders home, once it's in the ground and on surfaces in an area, every puppy born there will end up with it. It is easily treatable and a "breeder of 40 years" would know this and start treating all pups for it at 6 weeks old. She sounds like a kook. If she were a reputable breeder there would have been a written and signed contract that stated she would take the puppy back at any time in its life, replaced that puppy or give the BUYER (she didn't "adopt" shit) her money back, no reputable breeder would have flipped the blame and told the buyer tough shit - never buy a puppy from a breeder who doesn't clearly state in writing that they will take the puppy back at any time in its life, no questions asked - that is what good breeders do, this woman is a back yard greeder.
