okay i was really confused on how to go about dealing with the news i had gotten two days ago, but this morning i had an idea... the people who love their yorkies as much as i do would understand. i had a liver scan done on my girl bell last monday, the results came back that she has a single liver shunt. which is good news in her case. atleast the thing that is killiing her can be fixed.. but my problem is i don't have the money to get the surgery done. i am 22, a full time student and i work full time. i could save the money but it would take about 7 months.. that is too long to wait, she already has crystals in her urine and stones forming on her kidneys from the overload the kidneys are getting due to the fact the liver is not detoxing much. the cost of the surgery is 2400-2600. and as of right now i have nothing. i have spent everyhting i have on all the testing she needed for a diagnosis. there was options of returning my dog 5 months ago after her scare, when she had tro be rushed to the hospital because of seizuring, again due to the toxin buildup. thats when i found out she had a liver problem. but my heart just couldn't give her back. i got bell at a pet store.... yeah yeah, i know, i didn't know of the horrible conditions these dogs come from at the time my boyfriend and i purchased her. the option the pet store owner gave was to return her and get a full refund, but thinking of what would happen to her back in their hands just tore me up inside. bell has been the most wonderful thing to come into my life, she brings so much light to my life, i couldn't imagine just giving up on making her life healthy and long. so i guess what im asking of anyone is if you can help... i am up in the air with this, but i thought it would be best to atleast give it a shot. by the way Bell is 9 months now, so she is a great candidate to have complete recovery because the shunt was caught while she was young. and i ahave many pictures of her i just can't seem to get them uploaded, it said they were to many MB, but ill keep trying. well, if anyone would like to donate, send me a personal e-mail and ill give you my address. thanks a bunch for reading my LONG story. and much love to all the pampered pets!
