My big dog, after a bout with an upset stomach, has lost his ability to stand. I took him to the vet for the tummy ache, yesterday, and tests showed he had NO kidney damage. The bill was $150. I cannot afford to take him back.
I have a feeling, though, that he is suffering from a slipped disc as a result of all the retching. Or possibly a potassium definciency from lack of nutrients.
My question is: does anyone know of any organization that could place in him a home for doggies with medical problems?
This is very difficult for me to ask, but, as a result of my unemployment, I cannot afford to take him back to the vet and certainly cannot afford any surgery or one of those doggie wheelchairs.
He's only 3 and 1/2 (almost 4 years old), has a wonderful personality and is great with kids. I simply cannot afford to take care of him and he is in pain.
I do not want to have to make the awful decision to euthanize him (if surgery could be done) simply because I am not in financial shape to care for him.
If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to post them here or email me at o2scoop1 at volfirst dot net.
I'm in a lot of heart pain, right now, worried how to take care of this sweet doggie.
On a lighter note: Crispini, I thought about you today. I applied for a job as a writer for HGTV.
