Update On Bailey - GREAT News! *Updated Jan 28th*

oh no ...how awful... i really wish i knew how to help, i hope you get him back safe soon

I'm sorry he got so sick, but why didn't you just give him back to the breeder in the first place?? I don't remember reading that if you posted it, so I'm just wondering.

And yeah, if you have to pay 350 to get him back then do it. I know it's not your fault she fed him that, but it is your doing he is there in the first place. I know you have been through a lot but he is where he is because you put him there, and I am not trying to sound mean, but if it is going to cost to get him back, you need to pay it. He needs to be gotten out of there before he DOES die. I know you never asked for any of this or for your apartment to burn down and it all seems very unfair, but you have to do what is right for the dog, he can't do it for himself. I hope you can get him back to return him to the breeder. Good luck and let us know how it goes. Poor Bailey.

Bailey needs out of the situation. Clearly that woman knows nothing about ANY dog. My dog's lives are priceless ~ I would not even hesitate about the vet bill.

Perhaps, if she asks for money, Pet Talk members will donate to help and get Bailey back?

The problem with paying is that we have no money. This month has financially drained us. I didn't give him back to the breeder because she approved re-homing him. We are allowed large dogs here if they have a CD Title, and even if they do, they still need to be approved. DH is the one who rushed into finding him a home, I was the one telling no, he needs to go back to the breeder. He simply called the breeder and she approved re-homing him. So he did.

Vela, I would pay for it in a heartbeat - but feeding my two daughters is far more important to me. Yes, after we pay rent, bills etc. all we have left is enough for groceries and other necessities. Thanks to the government, 50% of DH's paycheck is being taken away. I love Bailey with all my heart, but if we pay for the vet bill - we will be struggling through another month.

Anyway, we will talk to the lady tomorrow and see what she says. I think she may have already paid the bill, but we'll see if she agrees to let us take him back.

I know I sound cold, and I do understand things have been horrible for you, but I beleive Bailey will probably die if you dont offer to cover that vet bill. I highly doubt she will just give him back to you for nothing if she paid 350 to the vet. I am not unfeeling, I know what it's like to struggle with no money and I truly have empathy for you, but there has to be some way to offer her SOMETHING so that he doesn't die. Maybe she would even let you make payments on the vet bill if she will just give him back. Sign a contract to pay her, I don't know, but something, I don't want to see him die. The whole situation just make me feel horribly sad for all of you but mostly for Bailey, he didn't ask for this either and he is the one paying the price, and he can't do anything at all.

I really just hope all the best for all of you, I just don't want to see anything happen to him, and I know you don't either.

I know you are not trying to be cold, you are a wonderful person. Those all sound like great ideas, I will talk to her about it. I don't want to see him die either, so we will have to come up with something. I will let you know how it all goes.

I'm so sorry. It's been a very rough time for you all. There's no easy solution, I know. I just hope Bailey can be rescued by someone.
