Who CARES what is going on with you or your money or any reasons? Honestly, only getting the dog care now, tonight, matters. Think about only the dog and its suffering now.

Please Please Please, I am begging you, stop reading these posts and sitting at your computer, stop answering defensively when people make suggestions that you don't like....PLEASE get in the car and drive her to the ER NOW!!!!!
You can answer all you want when you get back. Now the most important thing is to take action. I know you love your little baby and are overwhelmed. Please do not waste time. None of us knows how much time she has left. GO GO GO

Shellie knows what it's like to lose her beloved dog. If this dog is your best friend, is still running fever, not eating, has lost all the weight you say she's lost and shivering, cold, nothing about you, your situation however dire or anything else in this whole, whole world matters but your little baby tonight. Reasons? They don't matter. What difference does it make now, really. Fact is only the dog is sick now and has been this ill for too long to wait and not take a bad, unnecessary risk. So reasons - they honestly don't matter. Your baby matters and if you surrender her, I'll bet you can get her some help now, when she needs it. What if - just what if, tomorrow is too late?

No shoes are allowed in the house since then and yes I always mop with bleach but wouldnt it be smart to do giardia test since giardia meds will be done tonight to see if the medications worked or not
?

Getting her retested is entirely up to you & the new vet. I am just relieved that you're able to get tomorrow off & you can take her to another vet bc the high fever is what needs to be addressed right now. Please keep us updated on how it all goes.

Just bc a vet has bad bedside manners, doesn't make him a bad vet. Besides, I don't really pay attention to what reviewers say esp if it's a bad review. People have their own opinions & just bc they had a bad experience doesn't mean we all will. Hope the new vet will be much kinder & will treat Bunny so she can get well!

Clearly I did know there was something about money....it was in your words! I did not say it to be rude.....I was merely pointing out the fact that vetting is not cheap....and if you want a real diagnosis, you have to spend money for testing because vets cannot perform miracles. Not rude...just fact!

And, I am going one step further with you...I realize you have a job but how does that excuse you from leaving that pup to suffer? You are the one who has described her condition and every single person here has told you that you need to get her to a vet NOW...not tomorrow. You live in NYC? And, you cannot find a vet who works somewhere outside your working hours? No one is telling you to lose your job. BUT, I am going to tell you this....if it keeps up as it is, you are going to lose your pup ... how will you feel when you go home and find her dead? That is a very real possibility if she is as sick as you have described. You need to think of ways to get money together...go through that list in the Sick and Injured forum, sell something you can live without, ask friends for a loan.....promise to do some side job. I am sure you can get creative and think of something!

YES!!! And please do SOMETHING. Don't answer this post. Find and ER clinic NOW. GO, please or I do fear you will lose your little girl.

Praying she will go ahead and act tonight and the vet can get that little sweetie's fever down some, get some IV nutrients/fluid in her, get her feeling well enough to take a little food as Nutrical is basically corn syrup & a few vitamins and be sure she's not dehydrated. Dogs with no appetite, very, very thin, running fever, cold are oftentimes not drinking enough water due to feeling so bad and probable nausea(often goes with fever) and they just run short on electrolytes and blood volume. You so often hear from vets how late people sometimes wait to get their very sick dogs help in time and I'm so hoping this baby is getting her help now and can rest easy tonight.

I'm not going to tell you to surrender your pup because I'm not into pressuring. Obviously she is in danger of losing her life. Members here are just really concerned about pups..moreso than people at times.

There is more going on here than giardia. She needs lab work and possibly imaging immediately. A few things come to mind, all of which need urgent attention.

A fever of 104 sn't severe, but what is causing the fever is.
You can try this while you figure out a way to get to the ER:

01 Fever - VeterinaryPartner.com - a VIN company!

Rubbing alcohol on the paws can also bring a fever down.

My suggestions would be:
Use a bank card and just let it overdraft.
Call every ER around and beg for a payment plan. Ask for a manager. Agree that she stays on the premises until you have paid the bill (including boarding costs).
Try the larger hospitals (local chains) first. They can soetimes allow payments.
Consider a very small vet that may be on call tonight.
they sometimes have realy big hearts.
Pawn your valuables.
Beg a vet to take her home on an IV with them to avoid hospitalization costs.

Was hoping and praying you'd come on, Crystal. All wonderful options. Let's just pray one of them works.
