Reesey

[2Dog]

My friends 7month old puppy Reesey got hit by a car 2 days ago. She took him to a hospital who wanted to charge her a stupid amount of money and didnt even take proper x rays. They put this puppy on liver medicine. My friend called me today panicked they wouldn't let her make payments and help the dog. I called my vet made an apt and her sister and I took him in. Thank god one of my friends was able to get rid of some work for me..200$ down and 400 on my CC the puppy is safe at my vets office out of pain.
My vet took one look at his back limp leg and told us their is spinal chord damage. His tale was dislocated and he has to have it removed. My vet will not remove it til next week he wants to see if the puppy can heal a bit and hopefully hopefully pray pray pray will be able to use that leg. If not we have 2 options. Put him to sleep or amputate his leg and tail which I am not sure we can afford even with my CC...I am just asking the forum to keep this sweet little dog in your prayers I wish I had a pic for you he reminds me of my Rambo a small 10 pound little ball of love.
I hope that god fate or whatever we believe is merciful and the puppy will walk again. Had to get this out I know it was hard to read. The puppy is not in pain he is in good care and medicated. A specialist will be looking at his x rays we will do all we can for him to lead a good life. I am going to try and histle this weekend see if I can unload some work...I am thinking that if I beg the vet with my brown eyes and cry and pay him as much of the money as we can up front he may let us put it on payments if needed.. I have no idea what the leg will cost??

Thanks man.
I wish....the guy is from India I believe and he has a very smooth calming voice and demeanor...I trust him. He has helped my Polly twice with tender care. When her face and neck were swollen from a sting he let my pittbull walk around his office like she owned it. no muzzle required she likes them and feels comfortable there. When I came in he was doing a surgery and the door was open he was so calm..I think the dogs feel that.

Having the tail removed is an easy operation (they do it all the time here if they are used as pointers), as for leg that's a bit different. It will take the pup a while to get used to it and hopefully there are no complications.

Maybe if you go in there with a repayment plan it will help. I find it better if you present something like that in paper rather than in words. Still flash the brown eyes and some tears for effect though.

Did I mention they are big and shiny lol...........you made me feel better thanks dude.

I am usually a very stubborn person, i mean impossible to deal with some times. But when a girl cries I'm putty in there hands. No shame in using tears and big brown eyes to help a decision.

 

[2Dog]

he didnt charge us an office visit fee or medicine fees...he is giving us a deal I think. he always recognizes me

 

[Rosebud]

Well of course he recognizes you. You love animals and are a good mom. I bet this little guy is going to be fine. Even three legged ones are happy. We had a stray with three legs, well,it just used three the fourth hadn't been removed. we love our vets, I feel like I built our vets new building. We are all glad you are in this world 2dog. Dogs too.

 

[2Dog]

Im glad to be here rose...and cery thankful...I couldnt leave my dogs alone when I got home so thankful they are safe.

2dog When do you ever sleep? lol.

Wow, your vet sounds like a keeper - we've got a vet like that (he's a cat specialist) and won't hesitate to do whatever's required because he's a good person and genuinely likes what he does (well maybe not sticking a thermometer up a cat's butt...)

Couldn't tell from your original post, but if that original vet that your friend went to seemed negligent or unprofessional I wouldn't hesitate to post a review somewhere stating that - might save another puppy (and owner) from having to go through what you guys went through.

Sorry to hear 2dog, I am an animal lover and Reesey will be in my thoughts. The story makes me sad, but at the same time it makes me very happy to hear the dog is in the hands of a good vet now.

That's too bad for the little guy, but at least he has people around him that care enough to get him the help he needs. This pup is lucky to have you in his extended family.
It's been my experience that the overwhelming majority of Vets will work with pet owners as to payments. Thier first concern is the best interest of the animal. And they know word of mouth is the best advertisement of thier services. I have referred literally dozen of people to my vet.
I'll keep a good thought for the little guy, everything will work out.
As far as the tail goes tell him "better to have wagged and lost, than never to have wagged at all". I only own Dobermans....no tails, just stubs.

 

[lordhighlama]

it's so nice to know when you have a good vet. We wen't through a few vets before we found one that it was obvious that they truly cared for animals. Sounds like the little pup will be just fine, and he will still be able to wag that stump. Pretty cute actually!

2dog When do you ever sleep? lol.

I think I got about 2 hours going to grandmas for her birthday got her a nice heated throw for her fav chair.

My guys say to tell him, no tail, no problem.

Did you get your tamales done? The heated throw sounds nice.

they totally screwed up all they x rayed was the tail and leg not the spinal damage which hello is the reason he cant move his leg which my doc saw instantly as soon as we put him down. then they insisted on liver meds for a puppy who only has a slightly high level prob due to the accident ...sigh

you are a sweety we used to own cow dogs who were docked (i thought my uncle was cruel now I know).... I didnt understand a tail isnt like a human arm it cant be just popped back in..

she has one on her bed I figured why not one for her chair she is always chilly without lots of blankets and heat this is good. plus it automatically shuts off in 3 hours so very safe.
