I recently purchased a puppy Thyme and Sage Ranch. My girlfriend and I drove 2 hours and we were filled with excitement and were very anxious! When arriving at the Ranch we felt a little lost because no one came to us we didn’t know exactly what the process was. We walked around and started looking for our little puppy. We went in the barn where there were many dogs and some of them were in dirty cages.
We went in the yard to look at the pens that were outside. There were about 10 puppies that were in a plastic pen outside that is where we found our little puppy, Beckham. Jennifer finally came over and we introduce ourselves and told them that we found our little puppy. When we were watching the puppies play in the yard, Jennifer decided to move the pen to a different location. When dragging the pen across the yard the hard plastic pen would go over the top of the puppies that would not move with the pen. The puppies started to cry and it was horrible to watch. Jennifer just kept on dragging like it was no be thing.
We then picked up Beckham and headed into the house, which we thought was her house but when we went inside we saw cages and puppies running around, puppies in dog food bags, and puppies locked in rooms. It was sad to see all the little puppies in the wire cages piled on top of each other. I did research when I got home and I learned that those little puppies that walked on wire changes would have damage to their paws.
We filled out the paper work and she had no papers or documentation that the puppy went to the vet or the history of the puppy. Jennifer just told us that he had his shots at 2, 4, and 6 weeks.
On the way home we noticed Beckham had very long nails and had a very bad odor. We thought that since he was with other puppies that is why he smells. But we thought that when you go to the vet they might request or even cut their nails.
When we got home we gave him a bath and had his nail cut. He seemed to be okay just a little nervous.
However, throughout the week he was very tired and slept 90 percent of the time. He did eat and drink water so we were not worried and thought that puppies just sleep a lot. As the week went on, he slept more and seemed a little weak at times. We took him to the vet and they said since he had his shots and we only had him for 5 days that it could just be stress from a new home.
Sadly, two days after that he was sluggish and very weak. We took him to the vet and he had to be hospitalized overnight. Sadly, Beckham passed away the next morning in the hospital.
When Beckham passed away they did a test of the feces. The doctor said that he was loaded with Roundworm and had Coccidia. The doctor said that Beckham had the Coccidia since we had him. That means the Jennifer does not take care of her puppies and that she lies.
