Roriee (AAI puppy) has had a major relapse!

[TLC]

I know AAI is a tough call. Some are good candidates and some are not, and even with surgery comes tremendous risks. I think you have some very well qualified Neuro Specialists and I would lean towards how they guide you.

Also, any dog that screams, yelps, cry's or shivers are signs of pain, so please be keen to that, and make sure you have an emergency plan in place to get her to the hospital asap should a circumstance arrive

To the original poster, I am very sorry that all of this is happening. You must be absolutely devastated. I understand that she means the world to you, but right now it's time to get yourself well. As for Roriee, giving her to a rescue may be an option. However, even if surgery is successful, she still has a list of other issues that have to be taken care of. And if she isn't a candidate for surgery right now and gets a cast, then the question becomes what happens when the cast comes off. The cycle could keep repeating. Looking at her pictures really shows how extremely sick this little girl is. She is likely in an immense amount of pain right now. So while giving her to a rescue is an option, it may be time to humanely end her suffering instead and that is something only you have the power to decide. I am very, very sorry.

i am sorry, but i really really cannot believe you are allowing this to go on. your poor poor baby. this is very unfair to her.

how would you feel if you were screaming in pain, and the doctor and others just stood by waiting for you to 'heal'??? this is not right!

time is not a luxury you have right now, please get help for her now, i cannot believe how long you've waited, you are stalling when she needs urgent care. it's so unfair to her. if she passes away on your watch when you know you could have gotten help for her by surrendering her to a rescue, can you live with that guilt? please do the right thing for your baby now.

i agree I remember from the original thread a long time ago I tried to prepare you to get her to a rescue I know you love her but sometimes loving something means doing what is best for them and that is not always an easy choice to make for ourselves.

I just read that your dog was screaming in pain. I am appalled that anyone who proclaims to love their dog would allow this to continue, for even one more second.

I realize it is not always at everyone's fingertips to come up with thousands of dollars for veterinary care. That is when you you act for the dog and not for yourself.

If there ever was a day in any of my dog's lives that I heard them *scream* or otherwise show distress, I'd surrender them to rescue, put them down, or pay the bill not matter how I had to do it.

You may think you can take a wait and see approach. You can't. You are the guardian of your dog and you owe it to him to do the right thing for him. RIGHT NOW.

This is one of the most disturbing things I have read online. Just looking at her pictures on your website seriously makes me want to scream. The poor little darling is suffering and you keep saying you love her.
Sorry...but that is not love to let her live like that. If you don't want to let someone help her, then put her down. Don't let that poor little baby suffer any more!!!
You need to wake up and stop thinking about yourself and think about HER. She is defenseless...she is relying on you and you are not coming through.
I know you don't want to hear this, but honestly it is what you NEED to hear!
If you have a rescue that will help her, then either that or euthanasia is to me the ONLY answer at this point unless you can come up with the money TODAY.....stop waiting for someone to come along and pay her vet bills. This is not something that you can keep putting off!! How will you feel if she dies suddenly? Will you forgive yourself for letting her suffer until she died?? I know I would not be able to.

I feel so bad for that poor baby. Isn't there someone you can borrow the money from. You just can't let her suffer, it breaks my heart. I feel bad when mine have a tummy ache I can't imagine how bad you must feel seeing her in such pain. Please get her help now.
