Cherry Eye

I am so sorry for what you are going through.I am sure you have some legal recourse and to save someone else and possibly some other puppies I hope you take it.Definately report this breeder to the AKC and anywhere you can to be checked out,they are far from reputable.You should be offered a new puppy and vet bills covered so far or keeping the puppy and these vet bills covered until the puppy is well from the kennel cough.Kennel cough is not necessarily uncommon however if it was known the puppy shouldn't have been sold at all or not without being on meds and your knowledge.I got a puppy,different breed, that came down with kennel cough and I did choose to keep the puppy,I love her but all my vet visits and bills were paid and if (I don't like to think about it) something had happened I would have gotten the money back.There are some differences in contracts from breeders but all reputale breeders will take their pupppies back and will stand by their puppies and do what is best for them so you know that you are not dealing with a reputable breeder and you are entitled to getting your vet bills back .Please take them to court for yourself,your puppy,future puppies and future puppy buyers.I don't know alot about cherry eye but I would not expect my puppy to get sick and cherry eye the week I brought it home,that does not sound right to me but you could check that out with other reputable Bullie breeders.By the way my puppy got worse and the cough sounded awful but she got better and is wonderful and healthy now.The cough can apparently last over a month especially after they exercise and things.Please keep us posted.I will get off my soapbox.I am sorry this is so long it just infuriates me when people do this.

hello my name is Michelle and i have a new cocker spaniel pup named Roux. i spent a significant amount of money purchasing him expecting to have fewer genetic issues.
the first week home he had kennel cough which quickly turned into cherry eye:(
I contacted the breeder and she denied any knowledge of the defect in her dogs blood line. I then contacted the store i purchased him from and he informed me that if i got a note from the vet that the breeder would be responsible for some of the medical costs. I was NOT going to return him I had already incurred additional costs from shots food and several trips to the vet!!!! Additionally I was quite attached to him! Getting my money back was a ridiculous suggestion!!!!
I guess we will see where this all goes...hopefully i'm not having to spend another 500 on surgery for my angel! I now have to decide on what type of surgery.... total removal, partial removal, or tuck??? Does anyone have any experience and/or suggestions?
Thanks
Michelle & Roux

thanks laurie! i got the tuck surgery for roux and all is well. the store i bought him from paid for the medical expenses and then took it up with the breeder. He explained to me it was genetic and the breeder was responsible. I tried to call her first for some advice but to my chagrin she was rude and said it wasn't her problem. I guess she was mistaken.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that it is the last of the dreaded cherry eye! I also hope that my post help others when they are having the same issues!
