Q: I bought a micro pig from All Pets Emporium pet store and she has serious medical problems The pet store didn't tell me

I bought a micro pig from all pet Emporium about eight months ago when she went in to be spayed the vet found out that her muscles were full of adhesion and determined that she had a parasite infection sometime in her lifetime which obviously was before I had bought her because I bought her as a newborn and she has been to my vet ever since,only thing she has had since I had her was mange. Also my first pig they gave me died she was my replacement. Having her muscles full of adhesions makes her not able to live her life as a normal pig. Can I hold the pet store responsible?ll

A: you could for the value of the pig. But it would be tough or very expensive to prove the adhesions happened within time that the store would know, but before you got it.
