update on lexi

[Patti]

Please get her to a vet NOW if you haven't yet. They can go quickly without immediate intervention.

I hope that since you're not here posting that you are at the ER vet

so....
i took everyones advice...... and drove her 30 mins to the emergency vet.
her glucose was low at 31. but theyll be keeping her overnight + all day tomorrow. i think it will be better because shell have a drip with meds the whole time. the only way she will get better is if she FEELS better..
im VERY happy i listened to every one and brought her.. thank you so much for your support and advice. hopefully Lexi will be able to thank you all after she shes better...
btw, i was wondering if any one knows about any kind of donation group around baton rouge?? im a college kid, with family that can help pay for bills, (plus i have a job) but im just afraid she wont get better and i will run out of money.
also, what do you think my legal rights are against this guy?? do i have any at all??? GOD i hope so

I hope your little one recovers, and know I would be a worried sick. Here is a link that was posted recently that might help you. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...vet-bills.html. If all else fails, you might consider contacting a rescue group that could find a good home for Lexie. These little ones cost a lot, and sometimes getting a good deal from a bad breeder costs more in the long run. Glad you were able to take her to the vet, and I really hope she she isn't suffering.

Does the vet take payments? I know I had an emergency this week and the vet let me pay what I could then make payments on the rest. Also see if they have care credit

that's EXCELLENT to hear - I really hope she pulls thru this....

I did some checking - this site normally helps dogs in crises but they're donations are low IMOM.org Helping People Help Pets

they aren't taking new applications but you could TRY and see if you can get someone to accept you - The other thing you could do is call your local shelter and see if there's a place you could apply for help - and the last thing I can suggest is SELL STUFF - Craigslist is great for that. But - before you do any of this try to work it out with the vet - if you show good faith maybe they'll let you make payments -

as far as that breeder - you'd have to take him to court if you can prove your puppy came to you this sick - and I hope you've called him - he needs to know about the parvo if he doesn't already.

I really hope your puppy makes it and good luck.

Oh Allison I am so happy to see you took Lexi to the vet. I know you already know you did the right thing but... You did the right thing! You are dealing with a really tough situation and I know you are probably having to make some really tough decisions. I would think your breeder has the legal responsibility to reimburse you at least the cost of Lexi but I would think they would be obligated to also cover her medical expenses. I am sending positive thoughts to you and little Lexi and hope this vet visit will be the turning point for her recovery.

[bchgirl]

I'm glad you took Lexi and I hope she improves throughout today.

Unless the breeder voluntarily reimburses you...your only recourse will be through court. Small claims if it's under 1500 and civilly if it's over 1500, which I highly suspect it will be.

Prayers are being said here in NC for your Lexi....God help little Lexi fight this terrible disease. Prayers and hugs being sent to you Allison...you did the right thing for her.

[jp4m2]

I'm really sorry for you and your little Lexi....I hope she gets all the help she needs and gets better soon.......I don't know if any of these will help but it wont hurt to ask them .......I will be wishing you both well.......

I'm so glad that you took her to the vet, you more than likely saved her life! Now it's up to the vet and her little body to get better Prayers will continue from all these wonderful YT'ers, and I have witnessed the power of those prayers many times here

Allison - I am SO happy you brought her in, because I was so worried for both of you and scared for the news I might wake up to had you not brought her in. You did the right thing, the smart thing for this little baby . There definitely are times when we don't have to bring our babies straight to the vet - then there are those other times, like the one you're having. And, I'm so sorry you're having to go through this - just know there is a lot of support here .

Allison - PLEASE keep us updated on how she is ok ?? How did she do thru the night ???

We're all pulling for her !!!

[Patti]

I am so happy you took her in. Praying she pulls through this and you can look forward to a long relationship. I would borrow from family and make payments to them if at all possible. I know when Cali was so sick when she was a puppy my parents helped me big time. Please let us know how she did last night

[jfalz73]

Gosh, i was hoping to see a positive udate on poor Lexi......nothing yet? I hope she is okay....i have been thinking of her all day
