My 10 yr old baby's BUM level is very high - dr told me to take her to the er immediately for IV (kidney failure) last thursday. I couldn't afford so they gave her a sub-q with pepsid. She appeared ok for a few days, now back to not eating. Doctor said blood was normal. Next doctor in the Humane Society (orig dr was out the following day) thinks it could be an infection since her teeth are not great but didn't want to give her antibiotic last friday because it could upset her stomach more - just gave her another sub-q. Might very well prescribe it tomorrow though. What can I do? I'm beside myself. Any advice?? Allison.

Oh, sorry to not introduce myself first, I'm allison and my doggie is Sukie we live in NYC - I was a poster in AOL Yorkie Chat about 7-8 years ago and you all were really helpful.
