As you can probably imagine, I have been completely sick with worry, and my heart has been broken in two over the thought of surrendering her and not knowing what is to become of her. Over the past couple of days, this forum was not the the first and foremost thing in my mind. It was only one of many, many avenues I was reaching out to, in order to secure some type of help for my baby. I am very sorry to keep you all waiting and wondering, some of you even going so far as to suggest that Roxie has had a crappy life with me thus far because of the condition of her teeth. That was also another worry of mine upon reading stories on the yorkie rescue page.. a new owner's thank you note turned into a hate filled rant about the previous owners who surrendered her newly adopted yorkie. This is not a decision I have made lightly. I have had her for her entire life, and she is like a child to me.

In the past couple of days, I have been using some of Roxie's leftover antibiotics and she has been able to eat and drink. I was finally able to get pain medication into her, which has offered her some relief. This gave me some hope (thinking that if I had a few days, I might be able to scrape together the necessary funds for her dental care). I spent hours calling every relative I know, I called a few of my utility bills and worked out payment plans to push the due date on those bills back, and so on. I came up with a portion of the money, but I will not have the rest of the funds for 2 more weeks. So here I am, grappling with what to do. The thought of her being in pain for another 2 weeks is making me crazy. Her wound has now scabbed over, but I know there is a limit to what the antibiotics can do for her.

Ladyjane, I did not see your further messages until a few minutes ago- is it too late? I am willing to drive Roxie the two hours to your contact near me, but I know she is leaving tomorrow. I'm wavering so much on this. I'm wondering if it's possible for me to use the money that I have collected so far on a vet visit today, to see if (by professional opinion) she can make it through the next two weeks in minimal pain. Then I can have her dental work done and be able to keep her home with mama. I just don't want her to suffer.. this is hard.

Thank you so very much for updating

.

Have you emailed LadyJane yet..?? I believe she needs you to email her in order to start this process, as she indicated in her previous messages.

I don't think your baby can wait 2 weeks, at all, with this level of infection and pain...I really don't think it'd be okay to put her through that

I don't know why your pup would have "leftover" antibiotics. When antibiotics are prescribed, they should be given until all are gone. This a sure fire way of making a pup sicker....on and off of antibiotics. It is a way to end up with a resistant bacteria.

I didn't just offer surrender. I said I had another idea, but expected you to either answer my messages, email YHR or call me. You did none of them.

I won't be making myself crazy over this. Either you want my help or you don't. I am not going to keep posting on your thread. This entire situation is quite maddening. If anyone suggested anything about how this occurred, you really need to think about it. Have you done regular vetting and/or dentals on her? If not, then, imho you have let her down. There is no way to sugar coat it. Yes, rescuers and adopters get very upset about the way these pups are treated. The fact that it upsets you may be a good thing because you need to think long and hard about one thing: IF you get this money for her dental care, will you then change and start vetting her fully in the future? As she gets older she needs even more care....usually adult pups should be seen and lab work done every 6 mos to a year. I realize you love her...and I know it hurts. I just want to remind you that part of loving any living being is taking care of their physical needs as well as emotional.

I will pray that whatever you decide is in the best interests of Lindsay. If you decide you need my assistance, you know how to contact me.

Thanks for the update, but it's one day late isn't it? Yes if it were me, I would also have been seeking many different avenues, but I would have been checking them all daily to see if there had been anything new offered to me.

Ladyjane made it very clear that you needed to contact her before Wed. It is now Thurs.

I know it's hard, but sometimes if you REALLY love your dog, you need to realize when you can no longer provide all she needs and when the best thing for your dog, and not you, is to turn over to rescue. If she gets into rescue, she will mostly likely be getting the much needed treatment that same day or next day, not waiting in agonizing pain for two weeks!

Yeah well, as I said previously, the OP was online when I messaged her. I won't be making any more efforts until she has made up her mind what she is going to do. Contacting me did not mean that she had to give her pup to me. There is something very unsettling to me about all of this.

This whole situation really bothers me bc I know that poor innocent little pup is *suffering* greatly right now - infected, in pain, barely eating, no vet care.

Has there been any updates about this poor pup? I really do hope that the owner got her pup the help it needed.

This is terribly heartbreaking - I am truly holding out every single shred of hope for a happy outcome. Lady Jane, I see you are an earth angel to these dogs - I wish you the brightest blessings life can offer the world needs more souls like you!

Oh goodness...thank you so much. I wish you the same!

Hoping this dog is getting care now.

Let this be a reminder that as a responsible owner, even the poorest of us need to try and put a small amount of money away every month for these sorts of things. I live on disability, supplemented with part time work. My dog needed surgery suddenly and because of my foresight, she can get it right away and not suffer.

It has been such a help when I am in panic, with a very ill dog (yes, this has happened multiple times with my 3 dogs) and been able to go to the vet right away and say "fix it". No strings, just fix my dog.

Of course there is a limit. My account has 900 in it now (pre-surgery, it's going to drop but that is what it's for). That's a lot for me. But with most emergency (especially stabilizing) stuff being well within that range, I can afford their care. If they need further, that money gives me precious time to find other financing options, ask family, etc.

Please, please put money away for your dog every month. Even a small amount adds up over time, and if your dog is relatively healthy, you could have years until you need those urgent funds.
