| Desperate for help.. euthanasia is next I am crying as I write this because I feel like I have hit a brick wall. I am desperate for help with my companion of 9 years, my precious Roxie. I don't even know if what I am posting is allowed, but I see no other options. Roxie needs a full tooth extraction which has been estimated at $900. Due to my own recent issues and medical bills because of my heart, the cost may as well be 90,000 because I simply do not have it. Her teeth are in bad shape and on one side in particular, she is having recurrent abcesses and infection which is erupting through the outside of her cheek. I have neglected my own bills to take her to the vet every couple of months for a debridement of the wound and an antibiotic shot to hold the infection off for a while longer, but it always comes back. Today, her cheek erupted again and the left side of her face is just a bloody mess. A terrible open wound. She will not eat or drink because of it. She is in so much pain that I cannot even clean the area with a warm moistened cotton ball. I have buprenex for her pain, but I can't get it anywhere near her mouth because she screams and shakes when I barely touch the syringe to her mouth. It isn't fair for her to go through this pain, and I hate myself for not having the funds to pay for her full extraction. The only option available to me is euthanasia so that she doesn't have to keep going through this agony. My last option is to post this desperate plea, in the hopes that someone with more resources can take her in for the tooth extraction and give her a loving home. At 9 years of age, she has so much life left to live. She is such a sweet cuddle bug and has been my shadow and my sidekick since the day I brought her home. She is so tiny at 2 lb 14 oz and has gone with me everywhere. Roxie is just a beautiful soul! If you know of anyone or even of a yorkie rescue that would allow me to relinquish her, and they would in exchange cover her medical bill for the tooth extraction, please please let me know. Sending her to another home would leave a major hole in my heart, but putting her down just because I lack funds is something I would have a very hard time living with. I am so sorry if this post is inappropriate but I am desperate. I live in Salt Lake City, utah. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Hello and welcome to YT - I'm sorry it has to be under these sad circumstances. My heart breaks for Roxie, it really truly does. She simply *cannot* go on living under these health conditions. You do not need to euthanize her - there are plenty of Yorkie rescues who may take her. Let's figure this out ASAP and get this little one some URGENT help!

| Thank you so much, ladyjane. Sending email now. I have applied for as many grants as possible in the sticky for emergency vet help, but still have not heard back from any, and time is of the essence. I was able to get Roxie to eat a few tiny morsels of food today, but she is quickly losing weight and she really doesn't have any extra to lose. |

Anyway...I went ahead and contacted the person who we know in UT. She is about 2 hours from Salt Lake City. She is very willing to pick up Roxie on Wednesday afternoon if you decide you wish to surrender her. I realize this is a very hard time for you and I don't want to push you. I just want you to know options here. She is going out of town for 10 days starting on Thursday so she would not be able to get her until after that if she does not get her on Wed. Roxie would be in wonderful hands...she would be hospitalized for all of the treatment she needs. I am very concerned that this is going to affect her kidneys and heart if it has not already. We also would make arrangements tomorrow to pay for her to start treatment with a vet in your area ..( hopefully hospitalized as it sounds like it is needed) until she got there on Wed. to pick her up. Yorkie Haven would be paying for her care. There is a group on Facebook that I also wanted to discuss with you, but have not yet received an email or a phone call. I had hoped to hear from you this evening so that you could contact them to see IF they would be able to assist you in keeping her. PLEASE let me know ASAP what your intentions are. You asked for help and I am trying my best to help. I just don't know there is a time constraint here....it does not sound like Roxie can be like this much longer...and if we don't get some kind of answer tomorrow into Wednesday, I fear we will be unable to save her. I am sorry you are having to go through this and I am trying first to get help without you surrendering her. That is not always easy to find. You said you wanted to know if a rescue would take her and help her and yes, that is what we do. You can check out our website at Yorkie Haven Rescue

| I pray this baby will be given the care and attention, regardless of how heart breakingly difficult it is to make this decision....it certainly is the better option for the unfortunate pup, rather than euthansia. Thank you ladyjane, for always being there, lurking around, looking for desperate owners with ill or injured pups, that need help the owners can not provide....then quickly jumping in to help..... I hope this person will realize the horrible, difficult position she is in, and while surrendering the baby is heartbreaking, whatever has to be done to assure this pup gets a fair chance at a healthy, loving life, MUST be done..... |

| My heart breaks for this little one and her owner. Hoping she reaches out and accepts help. Perhaps she will be able to get that help and keep her.

| Wow this is heartbreaking! Oh I feel for the owner and little Roxie. Ladyjane I am in awe of what you do! It gives me hope in mankind in such a cruel world we live in! Your work must be very rewarding and very heartbreaking at the same time. Thank you for what you do for these little ones! I buy Presley's belly bands that support YHR but had not put two and two together that it was you, lord I am slow sometimes! I will be ordering more tomorrow and checking out your website!
