Hi guys,
my friend just bought a chow chow from a local petshop, but after one week the dog died.
It is very sad because this is my friend's first dog and she loved it alot. It is very cute and I even bought alot of treats for it but now its gone.
This all happened on the 4th-5th day after my friend bought the dog, the dog started to have no appetite, lethargic, vomit and have diarrhoea. She is very scared so bring it to see vet immediately. The vet later confirmed the dog as contracted distemper and after staying with the vet for 2 days, the dog cant fight the disease and died. According to the ladyboss, the dog had already had one injection prior to being imported from china but she doesnt have the vaccination card but she told my friend that the dog is healthy.
According to the vet and sources from the internet, it seems there is a period of 14-18days after infection when symptoms of the disease starts to appear. This highly seem to suggest that the dog already had the virus before my friend bought it.
I want to know if the petshop is responsible for this or not? and what action should we take now?
Thanks.

Anyway, you ask your friend to go back to the shop, and explain. Print out your references as well. It also would be better if you could ask a vet to help you sign a letter about it too.
My friend had 1 case before... tick fever and too serious till can't cure. Angry, my friend went back to the shop after a week he bought the dog, and told the owner. They said no refund. Angrier, he made a complain, wrote 2 letters to the SPCA and MKA, and forwarded to the shop. Scared, the shop quickly made a full refund and took back the dog.
Distemper... normally petshop. Did they vaccinate the chow chow at the shop?
