Has anyone ever returned a puppy due to health issues?

I got a puppy Oct 2025. He injured himself and had a trip to the vet to get stitched up, but things went sideways during the surgery and the vet informed me afterwards that he has a rare blood disorder ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’” I am completely heartbroken and devastated, as I love him so much and have been so happy with him in my life, but researching the condition made me realise he either wonโ€™t survive for long, or itโ€™s going to be an expensive and difficult road ahead. I am not a rich person and already had to borrow money from my parents to cover the injury emergency and I know I simply wonโ€™t be able to make ends meet if/when things happen later. I am weighing up my options and trying to decide what to do – I have another appt at the vet for follow up tests next week (also had to borrow money to pay for that). I am wondering if anyone has ever made the decision to return a beloved puppy to the breeder for health reasons and how that all went? Please be gentle, I just feel completely crushed and canโ€™t stop crying as it is ๐Ÿ˜ž
