I am always saving animals.. and taking them to the vet when they are injured.. but sometimes I guess I get in over my head. Thanks everyone who gave advice. We are going to take her to the vet Friday to be spayed and x-rayed to see what we can do about the legs. She was born with them like that because of the overcrowding in mom. They said her legs don't cause her pain, but I want her to be able to walk normal.. so now I gotta find a way to come up with 2,000 for her legs.
if you can't come up with the money or they aren't fixable there are other things you can do. they make these dog wheelchairs, in all different sizes. they're made especially for dogs who are paralized in their back legs. you kind of hook them on around their belly and strap in their legs and then they can walk without them dragging, because that can cause sores. here are some pics of them! i'm so glad your baby doesn't have parvo!
