| ![]() I totally agree and the best thing for me is to not even read anymore of her replys. There are to many things here that just don't make sense. I really don't think we are being told the whole story. And I don't think I even want to know. It would only worry me for this poor little puppy. Some people just should not own pets. And if that offends the poster or anyone else, that's just the way it is. That is the truth. In the past month I have lost all three of my dogs. I am passionate about my animals. There is nothing they don't get that they need. I never will understand people that get animals and don't take care of them. There are laws against that and I for one would be happy to see them enforced. |

| ![]() I had not read a previous post by this person......all I read was this orginal one and she said: "I just got her a couple of days ago, someone my aunt worked with was going to put her to sleep cause she can't use her back legs, she just drags them.. the thing is I have 2 other yorkies.. and Im terrified of them catching it." When she said she 'had two other Yorkies"....I assumed this one was also a Yorkie. Bottom line is it doesn't matter what kind of dog it is. It needs, and deserves care. |

| ![]() I totally agree with you jenni....the more i read about it the more upset i become...and i also agree with jennifermcb...but you cant help someone if they have to be willing to follow advice given here and not even think of taking a life instead of seeking medical attention

krystenah....I REALLY hope you went to the vet and I wish you lots of luck with this puppy and your yorkies - Many times a situation feels out of our control - but with some serious thinking and caring vets - it can be resolved or treated so there is no suffering for the dog.....euthanasia should be the last resort when the dog is suffering and there is no other option...this dog sounds like there are options left and if it gets too much for you - try to find a good NO KILL rescue | |

| ![]() All I have to say, is why would you take a puppy in if you couldn't afford to give it the best care possible? That baby would've been better off somewhere where it can get the care it deserves. Worse comes to worse, I think euthenasia woulda been a better option than letting the little girl suffer. Sometimes it's just better for the puppy. |

| ![]() I am so glad to read that you got this pup to the vet. I dont believe anyone meant to offend you. Everyone was just really worried about this puppy. Hopefully now you can get its legs fixed.

| ![]() I don't understand why Krystenah is being attacked. If someone presented you with a puppy that you wanted to care for, but didn't have a lot of money, what would you do? Just "see" what ends up happening to the puppy because you are not rich. Who can tell Krystenah that she shouldn't have taken in the puppy? None of us! We would probably have done the same thing if we had an opportunity to help a sick animal. Anyway, just bite your tounges and look at the situation from her position. There very well could be no vets open at a certain hour or maybe since the ER vets in AR are so scarce - they can charge whatever they want.

| ![]() Krystenah, whatever the situation may be. Please get this poor puppy whatever help it needs. If it would be your child I am sure you would do all humanely possible to assist so think that this poor little one needs you now. It can't speak to you and express what its feeling or if in pain so you should be the one to make these observations and assume the responsibilty to care for it.

| ![]() Never my intention to offend, or attack some one. I like many other members here care for the dog. In my lifetime I have done alot of rescue and taken in alot of dogs. I however will not take a dog that has extensive health issues if I do not have the money. I will however contact rescues and do all that I can to make sure that this dog gets the best of care. Nowadays there are so many rescues and shelters right at your finger tips through the internet. Your heart was in the right place by taking this dog, but it does take $$. If that isnt something that you have, contacting rescues is the best to do. In fact there are alot of people here on YT including myself that have thier hands in rescue right now. There has been alot of conflicting facts or parts left out of this story that make it very hard for others here to swallow this, myself included. I, myself, as a member of the ASPCA find it my right and duty to seek all the facts. I am not a sugar coated and yes I do come off as harsh sometimes, but that is me, I have always been that way and more than likely will. If I hear a dog that is being denied vet care it upsets me. When asking people on YT for help, even though you may think that your posts are too long, it is usually best to give all the info needed about the situation to avoid people being skeptical about you and the whole story. No one is going to fault you for taking up alot of space trying to relay what is going on with the dog to get all the proper advice that you need. I do hope that the dog we are talking about here has gotten the care that it needed. I would hate to see it suffering. If you can not afford to take care of this dog, I am more than willing to point you in the direction of a few rescue people in your state. Most of us here are here because of our love for the dogs. I know I am. I came here for my love of the breed and just so happened to not only get a ton of useful info, but also meet alot of great people. |

Krystenah has one of the biggest hearts for animals than anyone I've ever met. Her house is FULL of animals that she's taken in to save them from being put to sleep. She used to work at a vets office.....for FREE, to get experience as she studied to be a vets assistant, and every time someone would bring in a pet to have put down for no good reason, KRYSTENAH would volunteer to take in the cat or dog and try to find it a home. Krystenah is a newlywed, like me, and it's not like her money grows on trees. IF WE ALL HELPED AS MANY ANIMALS AS SHE SAW SUFFERING, WE'D ALL GO BROKE! Don't judge her because you have NO idea what a big heart she has. She didn't have to help this poor dog AT ALL....but she's doing the best she can. Krystenah, my hubby would NEVER let me take in as many animals as yours does. *sigh* You deserve an award, hehe! And Brad too!

| ![]() Krystenah- I am sure you are doing everything in your ability to help this pup. I really feel for you. You were an angel for taking this pup in. Your story has really touched me because besides for my small savings I would be in the same situation if a vet would not take payments. To me it is very cruel of the vets to not care for the animals and I know this whole situation had to be very frustrating for you. Take care.
