I purchased a puppy from a dog breeder. On the third day in our house, the puppy became very ill. She was diagnosed with pneumonia. The vet thinks that she had kennel cough while with the breeder that got worse due to the transport to us (9 hour drive). The cost of the puppy was $1,200. Her vet bills to date are $1,700 and she will have more bills before the issue is resolved. The contract we signed allowed us 10 days to return the puppy for a full refund. Although we knew she was sick on the third day she was too ill to transport as she needed to be kept at the vets for several days (and of course we are attached). Do we have any recourse to recoup some of our expenses?
