Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I'm very sorry your baby is sick. She needs to be seen immediately! Abdominal pain, bloating etc can be life threatening. Also, the loss of appetite means she is sick. She could also have a blockage if she is not able to poop. PLEASE call a vet ER, get Care Credit, borrow money - anything to get her care. If there is no way to obtain funds, then you must give her over to a rescue in order to save her life. Please keep us posted.

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | Do you have any family or friends you can borrow money from to get her seen? Have you called your vet to see if they can work out a payment plan for you? Something you can sell/pawn? Can you get a title loan on your car? Desperate times call for desperate measures.

| A hard belly could mean they are having a urine blockage. If she isn't peeing RUSH HER TO THE VET. If not cathed and drained right away your puppy could quickly suffer from uric acid poisoning. This could result in death but will definitely require IV treatment at the vet until their blood is clear of the poison. |

Ann, I could't help but notice that the OP requested help including his phone number. Would you release that number to a rescue group if one wanted to contact this YT member? This post has me ill thinking about this lil' one in obvious discomfort!

| Maybe the OP is embarrased that we are all screaming to go to a vet and there just isn't any money. I would say to make some phone calls. Many vets will work out a payment plan, or at least see the dog briefly. It might help if you just show up. If you have a nearby university with a vet school they often have clinics that might help. Again, just show up. Please let us know how it's going. |

| Sad and frustrating to see the first and only post was about this poor, sick pup needing help and we are all left wondering. |
