For such a tiny dog who has already had health problems in her short life, I would not hesitate one minute to get her to the vet's. Whatever is causing the bleeding, early diagnosis could be critical to a successful outcome! Preventing dehydration is good, but is not going to treat bleeding.
Be sure to take a good stool sample with you when you go to the vet's.
The problem is we can't go to the vet!!! My mom doesnt get her paycheck till Friday, and at the moment, we cant afford another $200 vet bill....
Most vets if you ask will allow you to post date a check. That way she can still receive treatment without paying right away. :)
We dont have checks, and they wont let us pay later. :(Quote:

Well I suggest you work something out with your vet then. I'm sure they've dealt with this type of thing before. They should help a sick animal no matter what and this is just me but if my pups were ill or hurt I don't care if I had teh money right then to take them to the vet but I would do it regardless and worry about money later. NOW I'm not saying you should do that but you should REALLY look into other options as far as vets go if your current one won't even accept payments or postdated checks, especially considering how many times you've been there in the past month
We dont have a bank account, they wont let my mom get one, the only one we have is mine for my college money, so yeah...Its only a small amount of blood, and at least we can rule out Parvo...and its kinda bright...
Poor Tink. :(
Talk to another vet, most of them will be willing to work something out.
We only have 2 vets near us, and the other one is more expensive than this one, and we had a bad experience with them. They arent friendly at all...thats why we switched to this vet. Maybe we should call them though...Quote:

IDK..but we dont want a bank account and its not going to do any good now!!! we dont have enough money to put in the account...Quote:

If I didn't have that option I swear Charlie NEVER would have been able to go to the vet :(
yeah....ill talk to my mom about it :(Quote:
