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 sorry to hear about your sick little Melody, I know it's scary and heartbreaking for you both. With surgery or the proper medication she most likely would do much better if you've not waited too long. The symptoms she's experiencing are all due to the shunt and if repaired hopefully her symptoms would too.
Melody needs to be treated if there is any hope of saving her. Patti suggested Care Credit and I would certainly check into that option. There used to be an organization that would sometimes help with the financial cost of LS surgery, but it could be you would have to surrender her to them. You could also contact United Yorkie Rescue, or other yorkie rescues.
Please don't wait any longer though, get that baby some help, it's not right to make her live in misery.
Btw, who is her breeder if you don't mind sharing? I've never understood how it is supposed to make anything right, when they just want to "replace" the puppy
