I am sorry, but there would be no way i would let that poor Baby suffer in so much pain without finding another vet for another opinion, PLEASE find a way to help her !!!!

wemple2 · 09-04-2007, 04:29 PM

I pray for Emma to get better quick...if she is not even taking water...ask the vet bluntly what can you expect from her condition. If necessary and if it would be helpful I'd admit her for test and IV nutrition/hydration...she must be suffering terribly, and this is so very difficult for you to stand by and watch. I feel for you...I understand how hard it is money wise...but please do what's right for Emma...I'm sorry.

Luckyone · 09-04-2007, 06:45 PM

aren't there any vets that do pro bono type work or that are willing to work with people? You can't deny medical treatment to a human, I don't see how you could 'deny' it to a sick animal. (using the term deny loosely)

Mybabe4me · 09-04-2007, 07:15 PM

I completely agree with you. I remember when Babybear broke his neck. I had called the ER to see what the cost would be just for a consult and they told me that I had to pay for it upfront or have Care Credit before they would see Babybear. Then when they found out what was going on they would need a little more than half of the surgery cost before preforming the surgery.
It makes you feel so useless when you can not help your babies. I had to beg my family for help when they did not help I had to have my husband apply for care credit to get surgery done.
I understand 100% where Ken and his wife are coming from when it comes to this I have been there a little over a year ago. I am still paying for Babybear's surgery, but thank god my husband had the credit to get the card to have it done or I most likely would not have Babybear today.
I am praying that Emma gets feeling well soon. I will continue to keep her and her family in my thoughts and prayers.

myteddybear · 09-04-2007, 07:30 PM

I have goose bumps reading about little Emma's ordeal. I cannot believe she has to suffer in such pain.

I would get out the phone book and start calling EVERY vet in it. Explain the situation and how she is suffering and ask each and every one to help or tell you how you can get help. You will probaly come accross at least one who will be willing to help poor Emma. You are bound to come up with at least one who loves animals enough to not be able to sleep at night knowing there is a baby suffering who could have been helped.

I wonder also if you post information on who your vet is maybe some of the members here could make donations to the vet to help pay the bill to get her feeling better.

Praying for sweet Emma to feel better soon.

LoveMyJake · 09-04-2007, 07:44 PM

I would definitely get another opinion!!!

Connie · 09-04-2007, 09:58 PM

This is so heartbreaking. I'll be praying for little Emma.

YorkieShadow · 09-04-2007, 10:15 PM

I feel so bad for this baby, keeping her in my prayers.
Please try and get a creditcard and get this baby some help.

You can go here and sign up for it.

If your vet accepts it, it's interest free, as long as you pay it off in the time 12 or 18 months.

myteddybear · 09-05-2007, 05:01 AM

How is Emma today?

Jody Renfroe · 09-05-2007, 06:20 AM

I'm so sorry you and your baby are going through this. I know you feel helpless wanting to help, seeing her in such pain and $$$ standing in the way. There has to be a kind hearted vet out there who will maybe take payments or treat her simply because she's in so much pain. It makes me really sad that you're both having to suffer like this. My 37 year old son ruptured a disc in his back at Christmas, no insurance, couldn't work, couldn't even walk. You wouldn't believe all we went through trying to get surgery for him...but, we preservered and succeeded in getting his surgery. Anyway, there are miracles and we will be praying for one for you and your baby. Best wishes!

yorkiesmiles · 09-05-2007, 06:44 AM

Prayers continue for Emma. How soon does she go to the vet again?

Or will you seek a 2nd opinion.

Praying for you and your wife also.

littlewhip · 09-05-2007, 06:47 AM
