When it rains, it pours!! I'm so screwed!! UPDATE: Mericle on post #7

[king2005]

Looks like Digi has a bladder infection & Tape Worm (saw that nasty thing yesterday eww)


The vet near my place wants (its the cheapest so far)

60.00 for the visit
50.00 for the urin test
15.00-30.00 for the meds
20.00 for the deworming
+tax


I'm rushing home & am going to be going through the pokemon cards now. I hope Digi can wait a few more days, so I can sell my things.

Why are vets so darn expensive!
This really sucks bad!!
After this I have no idea how I'm going to be able to afford her puppy shots.
*bangs head on desk*

My Norco Mt. Bike, & JP figures collection is next on my list of items to sell, as I think I can get 100.00 for the bike & 100 for the JP figues for it on craigslist...

I already looked into geting help through a program, but I can't, i'm auto denied cause I went through bankruptcy!! (hate my ex for that one!!!!!!!)...

If anyone knows of a group that'll help PLEASE post me the info!!!

Digi has enough mental issues cause of being passed around like a worthless piece of fluff. I cannot dump her at a shelter after shes come so far

Okay, BREATHE.

First - I can't remember - did you get her from a rescue? If so, call them.

Second - you took her in AS a rescue, right. CALL THEM.

The rescues could help with medical treatment.

I would think you could do the deworming yourself with the meds.

Going to Google a bit, and will be back with an ETA.

Here is a forum where I saw a lot of Ontarians looking for low-cost Spay-Neuter, but they might know of other resources.

Here's the thread I saw: http://www.pets.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=23961

Annex Vets was mentioned...maybe call them?

Otherwise, nothing much...there is the Farley Foundation, but it is for non-routine medical stuff.

www.ovma.org

I saw nothing on the Humane Society site either, BUT

Call them; a good pet store you know; the two links above; and rescues. (If I knew more about where you lived, I could find some). If they can't help, they will know who can!

Try calling a local feed store they may have some meds you can buy over the counter.

I'm only on for a few mins so this will be short...

I live in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. I can travel anywhere in Mississauga (there are a lot of little cities that are now part of Mississauga), Brampton, The west side of Toronto like North York & Etobicoke (which are both part of Toronto)... I can prob. travel to Oakville & Georgetown if I must (its far but I will go).

The vet that I quoted above is a couple of blocks from me on Bloor Street in Etobicoke (We are both on Bloor & inbetween Dixie & HWY 427.. just to give you a better pin point as to where I am. If you need my postal code or anything prive, I will PM it to you... I know I can trust you)

[crow_noir]

I sooo wish i could offer advice or help... I have neither.

Things will work out. They will.

[critters]

The best thing for tapes is praziquantel; it should be available without Rx. (It is in the US.)

A mericle happened!!!

Digi has been spotted to see the vet by a friend!!! The hunt for the cheapest vet is whats going on right now!!

I'm so happy!!! Digi so deserves this!!! Shes been such a great puppy!! I don't know how anyone could call her NASTY & hate her (He asks me all the time on the phone how I can like that dog so much )...

How could anyone call this nasty is beyond me????

Look at her ears!! They are standing higher!!

[crow_noir]

Yay for Digi!

Wow, that must be a friend who is loyal to you... doesn't like your dog, but still sticking with you on this. (Still, i think a friend would be more sensitive of your feelings.)

What do they think is nasty about her?! Personally i don't care for the feeling of shaved fur, but i don't hold that against the dog. Yeash.

Hmm... maybe if her ears stand all the way up in a few weeks maybe it means she has GSD in her.

Also, while searching for a low priced vet is understandable, search for a trust worthy one first. Contact rescues in the area and ask which one they use or recommend. Then from there go with the lowest priced. (Rescues put a LOT of dogs and kitties through a vet so they'll see mistakes really fast and if they're a good rescue will switch vets. Besides... wouldn't you rather support a vet who supports rescue? )

A miracle happened!!!

I was talking about 2 different people.. Person(A) is helping Digi.. Person(B) is the one who dumped Digi on me & thinks shes nasty & hates her

[Blue_Frog]

Good news for digi -- person 'A' must really think shes a cutie Seriously, how can you resist that cute face?

... and after going back and reading your post, it was a little confusing

also person 'B' can go take a long walk off a short pier directly into the skunky part of lake ontario in my opinon
