I took my cat into an emergency vet last year .. he had a urinary track infection .. they REQUIRED a deposit of $1100 in CASH before they would do ANYTHING. I was so angry. I got to an atm machine as quickly as I could .. got the money and raced back to the vet. The next day when I went to pick him up they told me it hadn't been as expensive as they had thought .. they refunded me $8. I was so disgusted by the way they treated me and I paid them every dime they asked for .. I felt like it was a miracle that my kitty lived. I can only imagine how Marie is feeling... Lis |
I would also call Poison Control back and tell them whay-t happened at the Er vet and maybe they can walk her thru some treatment. When I had to call them a couple of months ago when cali had a weird episode and the Er vet told me to call them they were very kind and helpful and once you pay you can call back on teh same thing for free just have your case number. I believe it was an actual vet that I talked to and he told me what to have the er vet monitor based on any of the possible pills she could of had access to. |
I really hope the little one will be ok . They will be in my prayers. |
OMG I can't believe they turned her away. I am so worried. I'd be totally freaking out if it were Ollie. |
MArie & Gucci--I am thinking about ya sweetie!! And praying for ya--I hope she is ok....Hugs... |
Marie, how is Gucci?? I am so worried... :( |
I am worried too. You have my prayers. Update us when you can. |
Turned her away!? :eek: That's just wrong. It has to border on animal cruelty when it's a possible life and death situation. Good grief. I know the ER can't refuse medical treatment to a human, why not pets? |
Marie I really hope your baby is doing okay. I know this is very tough for you, but we're all here, and wanting to do everything we can for you. Hang in there! Keep us updated, we're all praying for you guys. |
Marie I hope Gucci is doing ok.. let us know... I remember once my Gucci ingested hair dye, the vets office couldnt help they gave me the poison control and yes they said they work on donations. The donation was 55.00 charged to my credit card. They told me that the vets there don't get paid a salary. Anyway, they told me what to do and Gucci was fine.. I will say a prayer that Gucci will be ok... Gina |
omg i hope she is okay! :( please let us know how she is whenever you get a chance<3 villette you really are sooo helpful<3 im so sad for marie!! i will be thinking of gucci and wishing her well!! |
Villette? If you are on, have you heard from her? I am really worried! I HATE it when the ER vet expects payment up front! It's just not possible for most people! I HATE that! Heartbreaking! There should be somewhere you could go to get treatment! I think it should be the law or something! You wouldn't turn a person away from an ER because they didn't have the money to pay right then! |
OMG this is horrible :eek: I just read what happened to Gucci. I can't believe that she has been turned away from an ER vet. How could they refuse care for a sick animal??? I just looked in my first aid book for dogs and it says that there would be symptoms if she actually ingested the poison. Maybe if there weren't any symptoms then she didn't ingest it. It also says that you could give activated charcoal (ToxiBan) in case of poisoning. It absorbs certain toxins from the intestinal tract--you would just have to check what the toxin is from the box. The book also says that it comes in a liquid or paste form and you don't need a prescription to buy it. |
Marie - how are you doing? Gosh, I hope Gucci is ok! I'm praying for you! How horibble to turn you away, that honestly sickens me. we can't all pay up front, especially if it is a large fee. how can they see a dog that may have ingested poison and not want to help it? I really wonder how some people sleep at night...:( |
OH I hope little Gucci is ok I will help donate money if need be may not be much but I will help out. Ok I found a box of D-Con and it says NOTHING except for Call vet asap if ingestied by pet. But it also says that it may reduce clotting of blood. |
Gosh, I just got on here and saw this thread. Has anyone heard from Marie yet? Is Gucci okay? I can\'t believe a poison control place charges anything at all!! That is ludicris!! They just want the poor animal to die!! If you can\'t afford it?? What jerks!! Please Marie let us know what is happening. We are praying for you guys!! |
I am so nervous! Maybe she is just in bed like I should be right now! LOL Going to sleep and say a prayer first! Hope everything is fine.... |
My prayers and thoughts are with you and Gucci! I\'m sorry they turned you away, i know how it feels! I had my maltese turned away today because she was vomitting and having diarrhea, but i didn\'t have any money and told them if i could do payments, but they wanted the money up front as well.. cant we do anything about them asking for money up front? its ridiculous!i would pay every dime but i just don\'t have a job right now and Cloey is really sick! I hate these ERvets sometimes.. please let us know how Gucci and you are doing! |

Poor Cloey! I will keep her in my prayers as well! If I was a vet I would allow some sort of payement. Or hold a check or something. :( |
Marie....I hardly slept thinking about Gucci.....We\'re ALL here for you and please let us know if you get her in today....I\'m REALLY hoping she didn\'t eat any and this will just be a huge scare for you. I am so po\'d too about them turning her away....I can understand if it was an expensive procedure...but this is a REAL treatable emergency and what a shame that money rules :( .....This country needs to re-evaluate our pet care... It SHOULD BE....TREAT the animal first on a case by case basis ...THEN work out a payment plan. |
Bumping for Marie....and Marie...if you are reading this...I Prayed for Gucci all night...I can\'t get her off my mind. |
MARIE...I just found out The ASPCA has a poisen control center you may want to call....They should be open on the weekend too |
Dang, does anyone have a phone number for her?? Someone should call her and then let us know what\'s going on. My tummy feels sick with worry... :( |
Marie & Gucci, Bella, General Patton and Lipstik and I are sending puppy kisses to Gucci. Been thinking about you and hope all is ok. Let\'s pray that when we hear from you, it will all have just been a scare and nothing more. |
Prayers Marie, Everyone here is praying for you! If there is anyway to donate via paypal would someone please PM me; I\'ll gladly pitch in as much as I can to get Gucci in to see a vet!!! Has anyone heard anything since the ER vet turned her away? :eek: Jess |
Poor Girl...I just called - she\'s taking Gucci into the ASPCA this morning and will post when she gets back....She said so far Gucci seems fine.....and thinks it was the Bait that can be treated if ingested....and yes...if anyone wants to help....I know she can sure use it. |
UPDATE...The Humane Society couldn\'t help.... :( ANYONE have any ideas ? Also...if anyone wants to help Marie please pm me ! She is having a very tough time right now and Gucci really REALLY needs to see a vet. |
ok, I also have been thinking abt this all night, I\'m confused, does she seem ok, or is she acting weird? |
I was wondering that too! I just read this thread and please tell her that we are praying for them both!!! I hate that the puppy has been turned down by so many ppl. Why couldn\'t the humane society help? |

which is why it\'s very important to get her to the vet...They can administer Vitamin K and treat her before it gets into her system and causes internal bleeding..... :( People are pming me and I want to say a BIG THANK YOU to you guys....there are some really awesome people here. |
