I agree to the fact it cannot come up in normal vet checkup which is carried before puppy ownership is transferred.

Thanks for your reply. Breeder in this case is not even ready to accept that this is something caused by birth and throwing all kind of allegations like we were feeding him wrong food which caused it. I spoke to them and try to make them understand its nobody fault but they were like its your(my) fault. Hence, I thought I should look for some kind of legal remedy.

Hi, I live in Victoria and got a puppy from NSW from a registered breeder when he was 8 weeks old. Puppy was always fussy with food and very low in energy, we though it was just because of change in home environment . Within two weeks of puppy arriving he was diagnosed with congenital portosystemic shunt. He was in ICU and recovered well but needs a surgery which can be done when he is 6months old . We are medically managing him as of now and he is super energetic and well. Breeder says she got the puppy vet checked and all , I wanted to know what are my options here . I don’t want to just let breeder walk away from this and wash of their hands. Are there any legal options I can take.
