I am wondering if she could have some sort of pneumonia or something because she is so tiny, she is fine for about 30 minutes or sometimes a little longer, then she coughs up mucous. This last time it looked like snot, and alot of it. It is midnight here now but in the morning as soon as they open I am going to take her to the ER. I wish I would have done it today now I was nervous because I didn't have the $200 they wanted to check her out. Now I am just going to go in and see if they will really turn me away. I need her to be checked on. Thank you all for your help. This forum is a godsend for me and my family. I will post some pictures of King, Oreo, and our other little Yorkie, Mia. They are the sweetest, most kind natured little babies. Every day they show me such an amazing capacity to love and teach me more about love and life. I just ask that you all keep Oreo in your prayers. She is my daughters baby and at 12 I don't want her to have to face something like that yet. Thanks all, I will keep you updated! |
Yes, I believe they will turn you away. These places cannot afford to treat people's pets for nothing. Or, they may suggest that you turn the dog over to them...some will do that, treat the dog and then either adopt it out themselves or call a rescue.
You might want to look into Care Credit...you have had two very sick dogs recently and you cannot just watch them and not take them to a vet. They are small and are going to die if you don't do something!! Care Credit is at

Please don't let this dog be sick. If you cannot afford a $200 vet bill, it is scary. That is a cheap bill in terms of treating a dog. I have seen bills in the thousands. Please look into Care Credit or find some other way to have a littlle money to care for the pups in your care.
Prayers for your babies....
