Please Help... Angel is getting very sick

[christina30]

I cannot afford to take her to the vet. Is there anybody who knows what I can do for her or give her? Angel is like one of my kids.

Earlier I told yall that she was eating the tile off of my kitchen floor well it has made her sick, she has diarrhea and is now vomiting clear liquid. She has had a parvo shot, so I dont know what else I can do.

PLEASE ADVISE ME!!!

omg. I don't know what to say. Has she brought all the tile back up? Can't you get the vet to take the payment in instalments. If he loves animals he will do anything to help. Please. please ring right away and ask. Nobody would let a dog suffer, especially a vet. Don't give her any water or anything until you ring the vet, they may have to operate. Please ring the vet and try, it will only be the price of a phone call.
Please keep me posted, I will stay on line.

I have called the vet. He said that the exam isn't but $40.00 but any medication or treatment will be costly and paid at the time of treatment or they wont do it. This vet shouldn't have been a vet.. he loves money not animals. There are other vets around here but they all say the same things money first. I live in Bessemer Alabama. These people are never in it for the love of animals they are in it for the love of money. Im gonna have to take her and see if he will hold a check

[molliesmum]

Go now, worry about the cost later! We have vets that help people who are struggling with money problems. They are called p d s c or something. Don't you have them over there? The vets work on vol basis, you only pay basic cost for med's.
Either way, please sort the poor baby out now.

My husband got his friend over here who breeds Pit bulls and they got her to get up and go outside. He knows alot about dogs so if he can help he said that he would if he didn't know what to dothen he would take her to the vet himself. I will do everything in my power to make sure she is ok. She just drank some water on her own. I had to give her pepto bismol earlier so maybe that helped. God I hope so... Pray with me....

[christina30]

There are no kind of cheap or assisted vets around here. The ASPCA charges $55.00 for a phone call to their poison control center for pets.
I also have a feist and she is older, I dont know how old she is because we got her last year because the people who lived across from us moved and left her. I dont want her to get sick either, which she isn't showing any signs of being sick. Is it possible for dogs to get human stomache viruses?

[Weesha1717]

Well, when that happens to me/or if it ever did. I would skip a bill to pay for my dogs vet visits. Maybe you can do that?

[christina30]

I already called my aunt and told her my rent would be next week.

[Weesha1717]

Yeah, it's ur aunt I am sure she will understand, in this situation.

I think its more a tile issue than any illness she may have. If she ate ceramic tile it would be like eating rocks or stones...that can cause a blockage. If she is not eating and pooing regularly I would suspect she has an intestinal blockage. Even if she ate vinyl tile...she could be blocked. That stuff cannot be digested. I really think you need to get her to the vet as quickly as possible.

[saveawolf]

she mite have blote she needs to get to vets asep doint wast time. see if the vet will make payment plans witch witch you and you write postdated chdecks
i hope this helps.

[Weesha1717]

She got her to a vet. See other thread.

[gmctate]

don't know if this is any help.
my rotti used to eat paving slabs,until i started giving her calcium powder ,just a tea spoon on her meal and she never did it again.
maybe your dog is also lacking calcium and trying to get it from the tiles.My rottie used to throw up bits of rock that was in the slabs but would eventualy stop.just keep giving angel plenty to drink and you could even try a bit of milk ,incase something she ate is toxic.
but i must say your vet sounds like a prick,spose no others in area.
any way good luck , hope all goes well
