In this tough economy, everyone tries to save money by cutting corners.
This is all well and good except when it comes to caring for your pets as the owner of these Rottweiler puppies was to learn.
He epitomises the attitude of all backyard breeders who without exception put profit before the health of their animals.
Being greedy he had his puppies vaccinated by a quack from Tafelsig who administered expired vaccines resulting in the death of one of the puppies and the rest contracting potentially deadly Parvo Virus.
According to the attending nurse Michelle Hennings, โWhile pet owners think they are saving money by taking their pets to unqualified laypersons , their petโs health will suffer. Vaccines are a vital part of preventative healthcare, especially for puppies. Any vaccine that is expired, not correctly stored or incorrectly administered is not only ineffective and a waste of money but also detrimental to the health of the pet who may experience a range of adverse reactions and even death.โ
Before discharging the puppies back to the owner, he was instructed to immediately stop breeding and has since agreed to the mother being sterilised.
The irony of the situation is that he paid significantly more to have his puppies vaccinated by a dubious individual than he would have done had he come to us as our fee for a vaccination that includes a thorough veterinary examination is a mere R150. AACL
