The moment you brought her into your home, she became your pet. I didn't make my post about paying for her treatment lightly, but we all make the decision to take care of our pets when we take them into our home. You were very kind to take her in- you must be just as responsible when it comes to caring for her.
Bottom line is - it may not be parvo. It could be any kind of tummy upset. I don't think any vet will charge you $500 to do a simple fecal test. Mine charges about $10. It will be more because it's the weekend, but I cannot imagine it costing $500. There is usually at least one vet in town that has Saturday morning office hours. You made your post at 12:20 p.m. today. Last night you noticed she had diarrhea. Your normal vet will at least call you back on a weekend, won't she/he?
I don't mean to be unsympathetic. I am very sympathetic to your dog and your situation. I want your puppy to get the help it needs. |
