OMG! It was covered in fleas and had worms. An eight week old chupacabra is not supposed to have worms straight from breeder. I didn't pay $1500 for show quality to have to de-worm it myself!! Would you return it?

Chupacabra worms are a necessary part of their digestion. Their varied diet requires the aid of a symbiot in the form of the worms. Don't worry about it. It is merely part of their charm.
Also, there isn't much you can do about he fleas because they will only eat any flea collar or other flea preventative. Best to let it sleep outside in a dark corner of the woods. It will be very happy there and it will make the flea problem less of an annoyance.
A Chupacabra is a big responsibility and perhaps you should have done a bit more research before spending the big bucks on one. Also, you may not be aware of the other needs of this critter as it grows. So many people buy them young because they look so cute, in a horrible sort of way, but as they get older, you will find they become much more demanding and will require larger and larger animals for food. This can run in to quite a lot of money, supplying it with food. Just don't set it free if it becomes too much for you to handle, like folks do alligators when they start eating your other pets and children as they grow. Also, did you have your Chupacarba spayed or nuetered? It is a kindness to do that, as you will find a litter of 20 or more quite the handful unless you have facilities to care for them, and the young may very well eat the parent unless you can keep them fed. Once you run out of food, the brood will start to hunt, and then you've got real problems.
I hope you can enjoy your pet! Good Luck!

You know, I'm from Puerto Rico, where the Chupacabra was born. A common mistake is made: chupacabra is the literal translation from goatsucker. Truth is: chupacabras don't eat goats, they eat chickens. (I saw the news with the death chicken) Try feeding him a chicken instead of a goat and it may get well. Maybe it is in need of some of the antibodies that chickens supply. Right now I'm headed to my yard to fetch a good puertorrican chicken and feed it to you. Don't worry, Chupacabra #3475 is going to get better. Mine #1968 died 3 yrs ago cause I only fed him goats.

A reputable breeder wouldn't sell a purebreed chupacabra for only $1500.00, and the minimum time recommended for weaning is twelve weeks. "Show quality" could only be used legally if your pet was placed in the "demi-cabra" class of pets... usually mixed breed wolf/chupacabras.
Definitely return it, and if necessary, take the breeder to court. Another option is to raise the demi-cabra to dine on human blood. Ironically, this is possible with the half-breeds where it proves to be very difficult with purebreds. After that... well. I think you can see where I'm going with this. ;)

Don't return it. It's known that female yeti's milk is highly effective to de-worm Chupacabras. Is not as hard as it sounds, believe me, and could be a lot of fun if you go in search with a couple of friends.Thought female yetis haven't been caught on tape; they are more in proportion 3 to 1 against the male of the species so they are easier to find and, against popular believe, they are friendly as a dog. I would volunteer my self for such adventurous task but I have neither time nor money since I have to take care of this ******* unicorn I bought that besides his horn, does nothing but to **** everywhere just like a regular horse.

why take your chupa back to the breeder it is my understanding that they cannot survive without the worms and fleas are just a given- But you did get ripped off $1500 is way too much to pay for chubababras fleas or not

It's hard to find a CLEAN Chupacabra. They usually have fleas and worms in the wild....that may be why they are so mean. If you like your Chupa, make the effort to make him or her well....don't return it! It needs your love!

Since a Chupacabra is just an imaginary creature,borne from the minds of Latin America,you can also say the worms and fleas are also imaginary,unless you take it to an imaginary vet just to ease your mind,don't forget to pay him with imaginary dollars

Wow! only $1500 for an urban legend? Pretty rare to find!
You'd think that the price would be jacked up.
I'd imagine that the worms are feeding off of the blood in its belly.

I would. Also, that's a pretty good price for a show quality Chupacabra. I paid $3000 for my Yeti.
