Has anyone pursued small claims court to recover vet costs from breeder due to parvo infection?

[dman535]

We bought two french bulldogs from a breeder the last week of November. One of the dogs was showing signs of being sick the first day she was home with us. Our vet told us the incubation period for the virus is at minimum three days - so they would not have contracted it in our possession. The breeder has refused to help out with any of the vet costs - so I was thinking of small claims court. Has anyone argued a parvo case like this? Any luck ?[

:welcome3: to FBN --- congrats on your new babies.

No one I know has ever been successful in doing small claims

:smileywelcome: to you and your fur babies. I have not tried to settle a dispute in small claims court, so no help there. I would keep after the breeder to help pay the vet costs, though.

I would think it would be more trouble than it was worth, but I really don't know. You would think the breeder would have felt terrible and would have paid the entire vet bill, all the while apologizing to you for that happening. People make me so mad. I hope your baby is okay now?
