Hello I am from washington state and recently sold a puppy to a family. I got the puppy from a breeder for free from stud service, I dont own a business or anything he just called me when the breeder I bought my puppy from gave him my number. Well I sold them the puppy on Jan 20th. I reminded the couple to get the puppy their vaccines and such the next one was due on Feb 2nd. Well On January 30th the puppy had A deadly disease called Parvo and was in the animal hospital. It died on Febuary 3rd. I looked into the virus and it is very contagious can almost be found anywhere. The incubation period is about 4-10 days on the virus. I had the puppy for 18 days before I sold it to the family so I belive the puppy diddnt contract the virus from our environment becuase it would have got sick. So I believe I shouldnt have to pay them back. They want to sue for vet bills, the cost of the puppy, and maybe lawyer fees! I got a clean bill of health from the vet on Jan 16th saying it was in perfect health besides a couple fleas. I want to know if I am legally responsible to pay them back, also if they do sue me could they get vet bills, lawyer fees, and the cost of the puppy back? I also talked to a couple vets and they said most likely the incubation period of the virus for a puppy would be in most cases be less like 5-7 days. Well need help ASAP thank-you!
He was also in perfect health when sold!
