I recently purchased a puppy from the friendly staff at Critters in Rio Rancho. The same day I brought her home I noticed she had a runny nose. Later, I noticed she had a little ""red stuff"" in her stool when she went potty. When I took her to the vet, she was given antibiotics for an upper respiratory infection (the vet was afraid it may go into her lungs and cause Pneumonia) and also prescribed some de-wormer for her tummy. A few days later an adult roundworm came out of her. Her paperwork from Critters said she was recently de-wormed, however this was an adult roundworm. This may not be the case with every animal from Critters, however, just be prepared, and realize you may to spend more money on the pet in vet bills soon after getting the pet.
