I need some strong advice on this because I am grieving over this so badly! I wrote an earlier post a day or 2 ago (I am lost on days) about how I had to part with one of my yorkies due to her health, all the vet visits, about 700.00 left in cash and no job. The only income I have is 228.00 (yeah!) a week in unemployment to try and pay all of my bills with. I have 2 other dogs. A shih tzu that's going on 10 and another yorkie that's going on 15. None of them are in good health and it's been a tough hill to climb. I felt as tho it was the best thing that I could do at the time. Right now, she's been gone since Saturday. So, 4 days and 5 nights. I am hurting over my decision so badly that I can't even think straight. I miss her and the pain it has left me in seems more than I can bear! She is in my mind every second of every day. I've attempted, but not followed thru with just going to get her since Saturday night. I kept telling myself that she was with someone that had the means to take care of her whereas I can't right now. I know I wont be in this shape forever....(till Spring, at the latest) and the thought of going back to work knowing she was one of the reasons I worked, and she's not with me to spoil will crush my SOUL worse than it is right now!!! On the flip side, I do have the other 2 that need healthcare, (the shih tzu needs shots) and so does the other yorkie and she also needs to get her cough checked. These costs don't add up to a lot, I know, and I can afford that much right now. But if there is a health crisis with one of them, I'm screwed.
If any of you were in my shoes, God forbid! And you made this decision and realized AFTER the fact that you wanted them back because you couldn't bear to be without them, would you go and get them? I am so distraught on what I should and shouldn't do here. I feel as though I have had my own child ripped from me!!!!!!!! I did this initially because of an on going health problem she kept having. She's going on 13 yo and has had numerous problems with UTI's and bladder infections. She also has a fatty cyst hanging off of her neck that I could never afford to have removed and another cyst on her shoulder that from what I understand needs to come off. I had both of the cysts looked at from my vet and he said neither were a cause for alarm unless one of them changed. For cosmetic purposes they need to be removed. The lady that took her, took her to the vet yesterday and Savannah has another bladder infection. She said she spent 167.00 on her tests and the office visit. She is also suppose to take her to get her teeth cleaned and have the cysts removed mid January. Yeah, I can't do that for her right away whereas she can. I have no answers for what happens down the road or what financial shape I will be in. All I do know is that I miss her. Any suggestions? I trust you all to give me the best advice!
