Boy, I just didn't see how Ladyjane was rude. She does such wonderful work for dogs, helps all of us here constantly when our dogs are ill, but she will tell you like it is. She's very straightforward where dog well-being is concerned. That's not being rude.

If you can't afford the best vet care your dog needs and it has to drag along ill with fever because you can't afford needed tests, second opinions and so forth, you should not have a dog. It's that simple. No dog should have to suffer for lack of excellent care. What will you do if the dog gets very, very ill, has to be hospitalized with IV's, constant 24 hour life support or God forbid should get hit by a car and need an ORIF of a fracture? When you get a dog, you've got to anticipate it will get ill or hurt and need the best care and there is just no denying vet care is extremely expensive. This dog will likely need dentals, spaying if that hasn't been done. I'd go ahead and surrender the dog now so this medical condition can be adequately tested for, properly diagnosed, treated and get the sweet little dog well starting tonight. The idea of a little dog dragging around with a fever, feeling bad, is just horrible! The dog's well being is the only thing that matters now.
