Over the past couple of days, this forum was not the the first and foremost thing in my mind. It was only one of many, many avenues I was reaching out to, in order to secure some type of help for my baby. I am very sorry to keep you all waiting and wondering, some of you even going so far as to suggest that Roxie has had a crappy life with me thus far because of the condition of her teeth. That was also another worry of mine upon reading stories on the yorkie rescue page.. a new owner's thank you note turned into a hate filled rant about the previous owners who surrendered her newly adopted yorkie. This is not a decision I have made lightly. I have had her for her entire life, and she is like a child to me.
In the past couple of days, I have been using some of Roxie's leftover antibiotics and she has been able to eat and drink. I was finally able to get pain medication into her, which has offered her some relief. This gave me some hope (thinking that if I had a few days, I might be able to scrape together the necessary funds for her dental care). I spent hours calling every relative I know, I called a few of my utility bills and worked out payment plans to push the due date on those bills back, and so on. I came up with a portion of the money, but I will not have the rest of the funds for 2 more weeks. So here I am, grappling with what to do. The thought of her being in pain for another 2 weeks is making me crazy. Her wound has now scabbed over, but I know there is a limit to what the antibiotics can do for her.
Ladyjane, I did not see your further messages until a few minutes ago- is it too late? I am willing to drive Roxie the two hours to your contact near me, but I know she is leaving tomorrow. I'm wavering so much on this. I'm wondering if it's possible for me to use the money that I have collected so far on a vet visit today, to see if (by professional opinion) she can make it through the next two weeks in minimal pain. Then I can have her dental work done and be able to keep her home with mama. I just don't want her to suffer.. this is hard.  |
Thank you so very much for updating

Have you emailed LadyJane yet..?? I believe she needs you to email her in order to start this process, as she indicated in her previous messages.
I don't think your baby can wait 2 weeks, at all, with this level of infection and pain...I really don't think it'd be okay to put her through that
