They weren't positive without x-rays which I can't afford. They said he needs surgery $ 1900 or he'll probably have to be put down. They gave him a fluid Tx-SQ-Initial and parvo test and gave me some Doxycycline, Carafate and Cerenia. He did have the runs a little yesterday which is the first time in a week that he's done anything. When I let him outside I have to watch him or he tries to dig a hole somewhere to hide. I can't find any oganizations around here that I can ask for help. Is there some way I could (roto rooter) him. I'll just have to keep feeding him with an eye droper and the medicine and see if anything changes. I hope that skin I fed him will eventually pass. I sure can't afford the surgery. I'm not giving up. |
I am so glad you took him to the Vet. Please don't let this go for much longer, bc if he has a blockage he could die. He is only 4 years old and he doesn't deserve to die, not when he can easily be fixed.
Do you have a Credit Card or family to lend you money? Have you tried to apply for Care Credit???
CareCredit Veterinary Financing for Pet Care, Pet Surgery, Vaccinations & Other Veterinary Medicine Procedures
Also, look at this thread, it talks about help for paying Vet Bills:

And last, please if you can not afford to help him get better, and IF he doesn't get better today (I would not let this go on any further than today), then please start to contact Reputable Yorkie or Small Breed Rescues and ask if you can surrender him, as they have donation funds and they will not let him suffer, they will get him into Vet care asap.
As mentioned:
Yorkshire Terrier National Rescue is in Oakley, Ca
There is also: Wren Yorkie Rescue

Please do not let this go on, he is hurting and he could die....
