First off I want to thank all of you for your help with this. When you are poor it makes things harder than ever. I finally got in touch with the vet and they told me some things I can do with home products until I get the money to take him. In reguards to the ******* who said my dog should be taken away, you know nothing of my family and my pets. We have had animals ever since I was a little girl. I am 19 now and no one in this family has ever abused animals. And, just to let you know, we have bought him MANY new collars since he was a puppy. So lets just keep those kinds of comments to yourself.
