UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE!
We have had our Jack russell pup a month now purchased from Passion for Pets, Carrum Downs store on the 26th May. She will be 4 months old on the 1st July.
It has been fortnightly vet visits to combat roundworm with MILBEMAX. Last Saturday, 24th June, a stool sample was tested for worm eggs. Now the roundworm is eradicated but our pup now has WHIPWORM.
WHIPWORM takes 72 to 90 days to become adult in order to lay eggs etc. Which means our pup was infected through her mother, as would the rest of her litter. The mother of our pup must be so chronically neglected by the breeder to have passed on such high infestation of different worms. The store says our pup was not from a puppy farm. What's worse than a puppy farm? Breeders who don't medically care for their breeding $#*! Es in order to make a profit. The breeder of our pup is supposed to be a co-owner of the Carrum Downs store from Glenroy.
Our pup is so lucky to have been adopted by our family because her mother isn't. This past month our pup has thrived because of our care, despite the shocking lack of care from the breeder and store. Our pup needs fortnightly worming until she's at least 6 months with further stool tests.
By the way our pup"s siblings will be going through exactly the same worming issues we are.
If ever l purchase another pup it will be directly from the breeder so l can view the parents and get a full veterinary medical history.
