    Sad My Puppy is Hurt...

    I'm so upset I just want to cry! I just got off work and I came in the house and my parents are still up and I am like huh? It's 11 at night. Well, I look down and my doggy is hopping. He hurt himself. He's a maltese and maltese have problems when they get older with there back legs and we got Timmy (My dog) from an abusive home when he was 6 months old. I never thought of the problem till now. Well, he jumped off the couch and hurt his back leg while I was at work. And the thing that makes me so upset is that I don't have any money to take him to the vet I'm serving and it is so slow and I barely can make my bills and am so stress out about it. And now he has to go to the vet, but I am so broke and he is in so much pain. And it angries me so much because my family has put me in debt because I've been having to give them money. And I wouldn't have to give them money if they didn't smoke so much fuckin pot all day long! Thats where their money goes! And I'm talking like a quarter of haze/creepy a day! And I am so sick of them not going anywhere and me having to pay for stuff I shouldn't have too! And now my dog, who is my baby, is hurt and I can't take him to the vet because of them! Their "habit" has damaged so much already and I can't even say anything anymore because its just going to start another big fight, but that dog means the world to me and he has to suffer I'm so over it and now I have to see him upset. I'm going to have to call my daddy tomorrow and cry to him, maybe he'll help me get timmy to the vet

    Im sure if you have enough to start a payment you can take him. Most vets are very understanding, they dont want the animal to suffer. You can probably set up a payment plan with them. I hope everything works out. *big hugs*

    It sounds like Timmy needs to go to the vet now. They'll let you set up a payment plan, or in some cities there are emergency funds for your kind of situation.

    I wouldnt give him anything until you know exactly what is wrong with him. Take him to the vet. Giving pills to any animal without knowing whats wrong can cause serious problems(I used to shadow under a major vet he was always telling me horror stories). Call your emergency vet lab and explain things to him before trying anything.

    Yeah, call the vet, they are compassionate people & will give you some good advice. I "think" some human painkilling drugs can be given to animals BUT most human drugs have opposite effects on animals.
    You're in my boat too, with the family drama. I'm looking for a place to move to where I can take my dog......

    i KNOW you can give a puppy human pain reliever like.... aspirin. But check with the vet first as it could possibly be some kind of an infection or bug bite.

    Do you have local ASPCA in your area? Every city has a chapter. If you are broke they will work with you. Call your local Human Society. Get your doggy into see someone. If you let an injury go it can lead to permanent damage and cost even more. Not to mention if someone sees a limping dog not getting treatment, you could be reported for animal neglect. Please call your local Human Society, they should be able to help you.

    Timmy seems to be doing fine this morning. I had a hot pad like thing on him last night and I think it helped. He seems really happy....i think its all the treats hes getting for sympathy. I'm going to call the vet and see what he says. Man I can not wait to get my lisence back and being able to start dancing. Then TImmy and I will have less to worry about

    Good news! But he needs a regular Vet. For the future, and perhaps still, because animals can do fine after an episode like Timmy had then crash...I would find one.

    Good luck,

    Pamela

    Not to sound scary,but alot of times when dogs hurt themselfs they will adapt to their pain. It may look to you like he is ok,but it may also be that he is just enduring the pain.Alot of dogs are in pain but you would never know till you take them to the vets. Best of wishes.

    Most animals will do this. My friend dog got hit by a car, she didnt take him to the vet because all he had was a little limp, the next day he was fine, two days later he dropped dead, vets guessed it was internal bleeding. Im not trying to scare you but your dog really needs to see a vet just incase. I know it seems like a lot of money to spend but its really for the best. As we have all said you can do payments. Good luck hope the lil guy is okay.

    I'm going to take him to the vet. I got a credit card in the mail today that I had applied for for emergancys and thank god i did because he does need to go. I am calling tomorrow morning and i'm going to call my dad in ohio and see if he'll help me out. I just need to get him there for now and looked at. If he needs the surgery it will be able to wait for a month till i start dancing and i'll be able to get it for him. Timmy is going to be spoiled like he should be in a month, he's so happy

    Poor Timmy I hope he's okay! I have a Maltese too (11 years old) and she was going to the vet over and over a few months ago. One month I spent over $2000 in vet bills. Luckily I got a credit card too just in time because it was quite an expense but she could have died. My girl has back problems and I was told she shouldn't be jumping on and off of furniture so we built her some ramps for the bed and sofa and I TRY not to let her jump off the sofa (sometimes she does anyway...she really fast). Where are you in Florida? I have a vet I really like in Tampa. I don't think they do any kind of paying part of the bill at a time thing but they have Care Credit applications in the lobby.

    Glad you're taking your dog to the vet. Hope he's ok.

    Now you've learned your lesson. STOP covering for the pot smokers and get out of there. Your dog's life may depend on it.
