If you're looking for lab puppy DO NOT get one from O&K Labrador Retrievers in Troy. We picked up our puppy on Sunday and as of today she is spending a couple of days at the vet because she has hookworm, roundworm, and coccidia. When I asked the breeder about her previous shots, because the record she gave me didn't have a vet name on it just dates of shots, she told me they are between vets so she gave the puppies the shots herself, which she orders from Animal Medical Care. Mind you there were 13 puppies in this litter, 5 died within the first 3-6 weeks of being born and they don't know why.
This was Wednesday that I asked her all this and she asked that I send her the vet bills and she will reimburse us. Wake up this morning and the puppy can barely walk, barely hold her head up, and hasn't eaten in two days. We take her back to the vet and they are having to monitor her for the next couple of days. Now Olivia, the breeder, is saying that she will not pay the bills because she didn't have worms when she was with them. Our vet told us that the severity of this isn't something that just happened from Sunday until now, this has been with her for a while. Now she is backtracking and saying that she can't remember the name of the vet she took the puppies too. Our vet told us that Gillie, our pup, weighs 2.7 lbs and that she had an 8 week old chihuahua in last week that weighed more than our lab.
The vet gave us 50/50 that she will make it through all this. Will keep this updated as we go.
