Rides posted he has taken the dog to the vet and they put the puppy on IV fluids.

I have no idea, but I’m guessing the vet bills could go 4-5 hundred dollars or more.

Add that to the cost they paid - and that eqauals a rip-off.

Of course - if they’re already too emotionally attached - there is nothing they likely can do.

Don’t know about the cost but our vet was an old country boy and all he charged us for after the initial treatment was the week of kennel time. it was less than $200.

It will be a lot more than $400. The German shepherd rescue I volunteer for have been able to save some who were the shelter and their recovery costs have been over $1000 each.

Yep and yep. I’m sure the family only charged to make sure the dog didn’t end up getting the “free dog treatment.” People who won’t pay for dogs usually don’t take decent care of them.

They cut the price for us and we gave them a little extra to keep him. What a deal...
