I am still paying off Melody. So I do not have money for the surgery or anything. Barely had enough for all the vet visits and tests.
I feel like she is suffering more and more every day. She is so tiny only 2 lbs. She drools, walks all the time into the walls like she is going blind. Trips over her own feet. She doesn't even seem to know what is going on. It breaks my heart to see her doing this daily.
I feed her a super low protein food and just try my best to make her happy. But she is just getting worse.
I told the breeder about her and she offered to take her for me and put her down but I just couldn't do that. So I kept her and the breeder gave me a healthy pup.
I wish I had the money to make her better but right now I am negitive money.
I am starting to think it might be best to just put her down so she is not suffering anymore..but that just breaks my heart to think of it.
I am not sure what to do..any advice would be wonderful. |
I'm confused. You do sound concerned and I'm sorry about the Liver shunt
that's so sad ....and seems to be happening more and more with all the people breeding now - but you took in another puppy when you can't afford the one you already had ? Why ?
I don't want to sound like a jerk - but you need to find a way to treat her. You said she's been sick now for a long time and you've known this
She IS suffering ....but taking in another dog when you had a sick one to me just seems...well.....wrong. (sorry) - cause I don't mean to be judging you but you asked for advise.
Mine would be find a way to treat her - sell things - try to raise money anyway you can.... and if you can't - CALL A RESCUE !! There are many that will take in a puppy that is in danger of being put to sleep for treatable illnesses and if they won't take her maybe can refer you to someone who will. You need to do what's best for the puppy.
There's alot of information on the net and here about Liver Shunt and I hope you can find it in your heart to do the right thing and try to find an alternative to having her put down.
Poor baby. I know you must be upset but you can save her. You just may have to put some effort into finding someone who will take her and get the medical attention she needs rather than letting her suffer.
Good luck.
