OP: No one is trying to be horrible. You came to this forum and posted information that you said you got from a vet ... information about your Deputy that could kill him if the diagnosis is what is suspected. Not only kill him, but make him suffer before dying.

You said you cannot afford to help him, so what would you expect people to say to you? Oh, that's just fine.....you watch him suffer and possibly die; and then come back and tell us about it?

First of all....I suggest that you start looking for money sources and do what the vet has suggested...and do it NOW..not later. Later may be too late. You might want to apply for Care Credit. www.carecredit.com Vet specialists often accept it and with a zero interest rate over a period of time. All pet owners should have something like this on the side as you never know what kind of an emergency you might run in to with these pupsters.

As for surrendering him to rescue....many people do that with pups they cannot afford to care for. They do it because the want what is best for their pups. Since you obviously find that not an option for you, then it behooves you to get the money together to properly care for Deputy.

Those of us who have been here for a while have seen the consequences of delayed vetting. As I said, no one is being horrid....they simply are trying to help!

No one is attacking you, nor would anyone want you to feel that way. No one is ever going to agree 100%, all have and are entitles to share their opinions. As for deleting your account.....it would be a great loss for you and Deputy. The world can't be sugar-coated and someone holding your hand telling you that all is going to be ok all the time, ESPECIALLY when there is a serious issue. And from my experience and your story I greatly fear poor Deputy has a serious issue. I hope I am wrong. I hope you find a way to have testing done and can come back here and arrogantly and obnoxiously tell us all "I told you so" if that would make you feel better.

Instead of feeling attacked because you may not understand how to appreciate the advice you have received, take a step back.....realize how FORTUNATE you truly are for finding a forum of such PASSIONATE and KNOWLEDGEABLE individuals that have been struck by your story enough to share opinions and advice. As for the ultimate of surrendering Deputy to a rescue as opposed to just not having test done because of the cost. I do not mean the following heartless at all, but hadn't you rather know that you had done EVERYTHING you could for him than walk in and find him dead in his crate because his last episode was so violent and severe his little body just couldn't withstand it? None of us want to see any person of a yorkie suffer and hurt....but even more so, if there is something that can be done, we don't want to see that precious little furbaby suffer or hurt. If not today, then one day I am willing to bet that you will understand and appreciate the mindset that many here share.

The approach may not always be agreed upon here, BUT it is always with the same intentions.....the welfare and good of our little ones that want nothing more than to make us happy. We should want nothing more than to prove them with the BEST possible lives, this mindset is usually unfortunately a result of regrettable experiences.

Good luck in your search for financial assistance.

Well Christiers... feel your feet kissed by me at this moment... for keep trying to make the OP listen... see... i have given up.
Then i bet later on we will see a post of a sad story ... and the OP hoping for so many who will just sympathize and say it is ok... all will be fine... i am so sorry ...
The offensive post the OP posted must be looked at by a mediator ....
XOXO

It is my regret that continues to try to appeal to the OP. Regret I have had for 4 years, 11 months, 2 weeks, and 4 days now. I am all for beating my head against a brick wall so long as there maybe hope that Gidgi's experience will help save or at the very least limit the suffering of another.

The makers of Advil will appreciate it.
