I am crying as I write this because I feel like I have hit a brick wall. I am desperate for help with my companion of 9 years, my precious Roxie. I don't even know if what I am posting is allowed, but I see no other options.

Roxie needs a full tooth extraction which has been estimated at $900. Due to my own recent issues and medical bills because of my heart, the cost may as well be 90,000 because I simply do not have it. Her teeth are in bad shape and on one side in particular, she is having recurrent abcesses and infection which is erupting through the outside of her cheek. I have neglected my own bills to take her to the vet every couple of months for a debridement of the wound and an antibiotic shot to hold the infection off for a while longer, but it always comes back.

Today, her cheek erupted again and the left side of her face is just a bloody mess. A terrible open wound. She will not eat or drink because of it. She is in so much pain that I cannot even clean the area with a warm moistened cotton ball. I have buprenex for her pain, but I can't get it anywhere near her mouth because she screams and shakes when I barely touch the syringe to her mouth. It isn't fair for her to go through this pain, and I hate myself for not having the funds to pay for her full extraction. The only option available to me is euthanasia so that she doesn't have to keep going through this agony.

My last option is to post this desperate plea, in the hopes that someone with more resources can take her in for the tooth extraction and give her a loving home. At 9 years of age, she has so much life left to live. She is such a sweet cuddle bug and has been my shadow and my sidekick since the day I brought her home. She is so tiny at 2 lb 14 oz and has gone with me everywhere. Roxie is just a beautiful soul!

If you know of anyone or even of a yorkie rescue that would allow me to relinquish her, and they would in exchange cover her medical bill for the tooth extraction, please please let me know. Sending her to another home would leave a major hole in my heart, but putting her down just because I lack funds is something I would have a very hard time living with. I am so sorry if this post is inappropriate but I am desperate. I live in Salt Lake City, utah.
