Pet Emergency: PLEASE HELP!!!

[w4terb0ng]

This is a little long, but PLEASE bare with me....
My girlfriend has a puppy that I've been keeping at my house, because she can't have pets in her apartment. The dog has been staying here for a few months now. When it first got here we kept it inside. My mom was saying that it had worms so we had to put it outside. I never saw the worms in her feces or anything at first. Anyhow, we put the dog outside in a fence. She was fine up until the past few days. My cousin, who also stays here, got another pup and we put it in the fence with my girlfriend's dog. It had gotten to the point (a few weeks ago) where my cousin's dog would not let my girlfriend's dog eat. So I had to start standing out there during feeding time to insure that the dog was getting enough to eat. Well, I was gone for a few days and my cousin was supposed to keep food out for the dogs. I went out to feed the dogs when I got home. When I approached the fence, she was lying on the ground on her side, just staring at me. My first thought was that she was paralyzed, as she usually jumps up and gets all excited to see me. I also noticed that she had a lot less weight on her. Well, I picked her up and brought her inside. She couldn't hardly stand up on her own without falling down. She REFUSES to eat. She drinks water on her own every once in awhile. She lays around with the muscles in her legs jumping and twitching. Occasionally, she whines. Most of the day, she just lays around for a bit, then gets up and wanders around aimlessly. We are going to take her to the vet, but cannot do so until Wednesday. I examined some of her feces out in the fence and found a really big roundworm in her stool. Will worms cause this jerking of the muscles and such? And all the sudden weight loss in just a few days? I'm really worried about her and don't know what to do until we can get her to the vet. Does ANYONE have any idea what this could be? Is it just worms? It seems that there may be more to it than this. Also, she's having alot of discharge around her eyes. This morning I woke up and checked in on her. One of her eyes was so full of gunk that she couldn't open her eyelid. The other was just blurry looking... like a thin film was covering it. Her eyes got better and finally cleared up quite a bit througout the day. Someone give me some useful advice here. My girlfriend is crying her eyes out and I don't know what to do.

[turtle420]

1st --> Your gf should keep her dog in her place.
2nd --> Take that dog to the veterinary NOW, unless you REALLY want to see your gf in tears.

WTF? How the hell could this had happened? Somebody fucked up dude... period. Doesn't matter who, this was a major fuck-up.

For feeding time, try separating them. Take your gf's pup and feed her inside the house... when she's done, put her outside.

WTF? Go to the vet NOW!

[BabyFacedAbortion]

hon, call your vet. and ask them what's going on, you can atleast find out what it could be. The worms could seriously fuck up her insides but I'm not an expert on this at all. Try and comfort your girlfriend and feed the puppy with a bottle of milk or try and get her to eat wet dog food. Keeping the puppy fed (and alive) is the important thing right now. Stay around the puppy as often as you can and pet her and keep her comfortable. Call the vet though, that's the most important thing.

[bedake]

Yea the only advice we can give is go to the vet ASAP! They can put the dog on medicine that will prolly get rid of the worms, although it sounds like the dog may have some nerve damage. Dude i watch animal planet animal cops alot, makes me want to cry at time

[turtle420]

Another thing....

Call the vet, because, depending on the puppy's condition, if you give her food, you might "shock" her system.

I have no idea what's wrong with her, but there are cases where the internals get "sucked" together. If you feed her, she could... you know. Puppy no more.

Vet dude. Vet.

BTW: Don't even THINK about paying the vet's bill. That's your girlfriend's responsibility. Trust me dude, pay this time, pay for the rest of your life...

[potsmokingnome]

Yeah call the Vet, and find a way to get the dog to the vet as soon as possible! do not wait till wednesday!

[w4terb0ng]

I've tried wet food. she won't eat it. The dog IS seperated from the other. I've kept her in the house in my room since I found her this way. I've stayed with her all day today trying to comfort her and keep her drinking water. I found her this way yesterday. I did try giving her some gravy, which she took a little, then became dis-interested in. I had considered just taking her to the SPCA and letting them have her since it won't be until Wednesday that we have the money to take her to the vet. I checked into it and from what I understand, now you have to make a reservation to turn an animal into them. I don't think she will make it long enough to wait on a reservation. I hadn't called the vet yet, because I thought they'd just tell me to bring her in and I don't have the money right now. I will call first thing in the morning and see what they say though. I'm just really worried. Thanks for the input guys. I hope I can get her better soon.

[BizzleLuvin]

definetly a parasite. probably bloodworms or tapeworm because there are none in her feces. take her to the vet ASAP or the parasites will literally consume her.get the other dog out of the yard and clean the food immediatley because certain parasites are 'contagious'. \

[w4terb0ng]

I know I need to call a vet guys. I was mainly just wondering if anyone here had experienced anything similar with a pet, so maybe I could get some advice on what to do until then. I will definitely call the vet tomorrow morning though.

[Das Boot]

My dog ate some rotten food and the exact same thing happened to him. (nothing went wrong with his eyes though) The constant jerking in his legs and inibility to stand were him having seizures.

He's fine now but he almost died. I took him to the vet a few hours after he ate the food and he just BARELY made it.

If you give a shit about that dog you should take him to a local animal hospital now. (but call first. I don't know if you described the dogs problems accuratley enough. He may not be in as a dire situation)

I just took my dog to the vet and they gave him every kind of (whatever they were using to knock him out) Drug they had in the place and it didn't make him sleep or stop having siezures.

We had to drive him to an animal hospital.

[tootsie roll]

Some people shouldn't own animals. Seriously. :(

Poor pup. Just letting her suffer like that..........................

Poor pup. Just letting her suffer like that..........................


Fuck you. I love dogs. I am not intentionally doing anything to make this dog suffer. I don't know what the fuck to do when I can't afford a fucking vet. I don't want to watch her die. Some people should keep their mouth shut. Seriously. If you don't have anything helpful to say, why open your fucking mouth?

[BOYZNUS]

SO SORRY TO SAY,,, IT SOUNDS LIKE DYSTEMPER. I HOPE NOT, BUT THE VET WILL KNOW FOR SURE

Loving dogs and taking care of them are two different things.

Nice mouth ya got there. If you love her, take her to the emergency vet and drop her off so they can tend to her. You don't just take a dying dog up to your room and watch her die.

Look, is her tummy very hard? Like a rock? Has she suddenly dropped enough weight that she's boney? Odds are that she's malnurished from worms. Worms enter the heart. Then there's not much you can do. The other dog took her food because the other dog is the stronger dog.
You have a very sick puppy.

[tootsie roll]

Has the puppy had all her shots?

[w4terb0ng]

Her stomach is not hard. She is looking a bit bony. She has not had shots that I know of. She was brought here straight from where she was born. As far as I know, they had not given her shots yet. I had been doing some reading on the internet today and found that a lot of the symptoms she's having were just like the symptoms from distemper. Assuming that she hasn't had shots, that was my first guess at what it might be. And yes, I understand that loving dogs and taking care of them are two different things. I have been taking care of this dog. I've been feeding/watering her daily, playing with her, etc... I leave for a few days and rely on my cousin's word that she will feed the dog along with her own (she knew that the other dog was keeping her from eating and that I had to stand there and make sure she got fed). I come home and find her in this condition. I am not blaming it on my cousin, but I could have known about this sooner, had she actually been checking in on the dogs while I was out. I can understand the hard feelings about people who don't take care of their pets and so on... but I do not mistreat animals and never would. Can you just drop an animal off at a clinic and they take her in and tend to her? Even if I couldn't get her back? I'd rather that happen than to watch her die.

[bonsaiguy]

Most vets will let you bring the dog in ASAP and worry about the money later. Get the pup to a vet tomorrow. Probably ate a bad mouse or something. Did you get this puppy from a pet store or a breeder? This is the reason you buy from a good breeder and pay the big bucks for a pet. Everything is documented and all shots, immunizations, etc are done before the pup leaves the breeder and most good breeders will make you sign paperwork to the effect that if you will give the pet a proper home and all the care it needs. Moral of the story, don't buy puppies from petco or walmart or petsmart or some dude on the corner or a "friendly" neighbor....they often come from puppy mills and are not well cared for or well bred from the beginning. But that being said, get the pup to a vet tomorrow.

[spacelamb]

How old was she when she was taken from her mom? How old is she now? Most responsible breeders will keep the pups until they are 8 weeks old, and will have started the series of puppy shots for distemper, parvo, etc.
I don't know about bringing a pup into a clinic and leaving her, I suppose it depends on the clinic. I worked at a animal hospital for 3 years, and we did have people come in and "surrender" their pets. Not when the pets were really ill though. If worse came to worse, I suppose you could bring her in and tell them she's a stray you found, you think she's sick and could they please help her.
Best of luck, I hope everything turns out okay!

Peace

[w4terb0ng]

Thanks for the advice bonsaiguy. She did not come from a breeder or pet store. She was one of a few pups from a good friend's dog. I was under the impression that you had to have the money up front when you take them to a vet. I will be getting her to a vet/hospital/etc tomorrow.

[w4terb0ng]

Also, I apologize to you tootsie roll, for lashing out at you the way I did. I'm just really concerned about this dog, and I've never been in this kind of situation before. I don't know how these things work (with the vet and all). I appreciate all of your input, everyone. I will let you all know what happens tomorrow. Thank you all.

[tootsie roll]

I am very sorry this is happening. I've had tears roll down my cheeks for that little girl. I get very emotional. I think I love animals too much if there is such a thing. Yes, if you take her to the vet, ER vet, clinic.....they will help her. Even if you just drop her and leave. They will do their best to treat her and if she can be made healthy, they'll try to find her a home. Sometimes a client has lost a beloved "baby" and needs a new "baby" to love, sometimes they go to Save A Pet or Best Friends...............right now she's sick hon, get her help. If you can't go right now, make sure she's kept warm, hold her as much as you can, make a space on your bed. You don't say if she is evacuating or not. Is her stool runny? Do you have any pedalite at home to give her if she's dehyrated?
Give her a kiss for me and all the best to you both.

[tootsie roll]

Apology accepted and I'm sorry I made you feel worse then you already did. :(

[w4terb0ng]

Her stool is very runny. Her urine has an orange-ish tint to it. She's been very lethargic. I believe we do have some pedialite. She has been drinking though, so I didn't know if she would still dehydrate or not. I cannot make her drink for anything, but when my girlfriend tries, she will drink. I think it has something to do with that other dog not letting her eat. (she doesn't do much when I'm in the room with her)

[w4terb0ng]

No hard feelings tootsie roll. This shit makes me wanna cry too. It's like watching a person go through the same thing.

[BigHomie]

She has been drinking though, so I didn't know if she would still dehydrate or not. I cannot make her drink for anything, but when my girlfriend tries, she will drink. I think it has something to do with that other dog not letting her eat. (she doesn't do much when I'm in the room with her)


Ok. Give her NOTHING with milk in it. Her urine is showing a loss of ketones, like if a human was starving, that's what color their urine turns. Give her the pedalite. Stick your finger in it and let her lick it off your finger. If she doesn't lick it off your finger, use an eyedropper and put some in the side of her mouth and gently rub her throat. Care for her tonight as you would an infant. Wrap her in a blankie and cuddle her. Give her the pedialite and maybe some baby food. Warm up some beef or chicken baby food and stick your finger in it and try to get the puppy to eat some.
I'm keeping her in my thoughts. You too.

[Skink]

Sorry bout the moron thing,I just thought you needed a slap incase you are stone... I hope this dog is alright... he could have anything wrong he might of ate something and has a blockage... Could be a lot of things...

[w4terb0ng]

i just got off the phone with the emergency animal clinic. i was told that they will NOT treat her. they said all i can do is turn her over to the city and they will put her to sleep. i don't have baby food, nor the money to buy any. all i have is regular dog food and water. and the pedialyte. should i wait it out and see if she can make it til wednesday? she's looking pretty bad and i don't want to watch the poor thing die.



...FUCK. nevermind. we DON'T have pedialyte. it's pediacare cough and cold.
:( what to do?????

[Skink]

pedalite shit it need a vet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BigHomie]

There are many in your area... don't stop at one, keep calling places

[Bman719]

Ok, I don't know how an emergency vet can tell you to just put her to sleep without even looking at the dog! Keep calling emergency vets until one agrees they'll see it....

[tootsie roll]

Fuck the phone.
Wrap her up and take her to the er.
Damn, they have to help her!

[Bman719]

you're playing with death when you stick a dog outside that doesn't have any shots or anything....

Walgreens is always open?

[w4terb0ng]

i'm broke, so walgreens doesn't do me any good. still can't find a damn clinic that will do anything besides put her to sleep. what the fuck?! the best i can do is keep giving her water until morning. i spoke with someone that's going to loan me the money to take her to the vet tomorrow. i just hope she'll be ok until then.

[Tetrahydrocannabinol]

i'm broke, so walgreens doesn't do me any good.

thought u lived with your mom? or does she not care about puppies

[Starchild]

The poor dog needs to go to the vet right away..It could be..
Coccidiosis
Giardia
or a number of things...I may be repeating what everyone else has said,but you really need to take the dog to a vet.Just show up with the dog.I will hold a good thought

[chisme]

EVER HEARD OF THE R.S.V.P FUCKING A? IF U TAKE A DOG TO THE R.S.V.P.A THEY WILL GIVE A CHECK AND AT LEAST CLEAN HER EYES FOR FREEEEEE

IF U DONT HAVE MONEY TO PAY APPLY FOR BENFITS

I CAME OUT OF WORK 2 WEEKS AGO AND NOW FEELING THE FINANCIAL BITE BUT IF I TAKE MY LEOPARD GECKOS (MORE EXPENSIVE TO TREAT) THEY GET IT FREE BECAUSE IM UNEMPLOYED.


if your worried whitch to be truthfull u really shoul be by the sounds of it go to the nearest dog rehoming center they wont take the dog from you but will help you with treatment as many have on site vets and it might be cheaper then a highstreet vet ..maybe even free

but something has to be done if my pet doesnt matter what it was twitching i wouldnt b able to handle myself and would sell my laptop to pay or dvd's in the pub or get the 8ths out faster b ut i need to do a little more then just post man.

also if u try to lighten the overall mood of the dog it may begin to try eating again try playing around in front of him cuddle him and shit u know make him feel special then pu some food in your hand and try to rub about his teeth hopefollow hell just accidently gobble soem down.

the prob is if its a parasite he wont wanna eat because it will hurt but its the parasite stopping him from eating ...if you get food into him his strength would rise and imune system helped ...no food mena the immune system pretty muhc shuts down after a while and the parasite wins (a dirt patch where your dog used to be) (with a cross stuck in the ground above it)

You are a fucking asshole.... you knew there was a problem 3 months ago and your way of fixing it was putting the dog outside. You need a fucking beatin.

[Dr. Dro]

Thats fucked up.

[w4terb0ng]

Look, dickhead... the dog didn't have a problem 3 months ago. Otherwise, I'd have done something. I didn't just put her outside and ignore her. She was put to sleep because of distemper. It's not my fault that the dog apparently didn't have her shots. I was only holding it for someone else and making sure it was fed and taken care of. Talk all you want. You're not accomplishing anything.

[snikitysnak]

that could've been one of the most depressing threads i've ever read.....

seriously though, i'm not trying to come down on you, you should've taken that dog to the vet the minute it showed signs of being sick.

My girlfriend has a puppy that I've been keeping at my house, because she can't have pets in her apartment. The dog has been staying here for a few months now. When it first got here we kept it inside. My mom was saying that it had worms so we had to put it outside...

that shows you guys knew she had a problem early on, and that she's been outside a while...


She was fine up until the past few days...
...I went out to feed the dogs when I got home. When I approached the fence, she was lying on the ground on her side, just staring at me.

a few days ago you found her in pain and still didn't do shit. you waited till last night to do something... and even then all you did come here... none of us are vets.


Someone give me some useful advice here. My girlfriend is crying her eyes out and I don't know what to do.

allthou in less offencive words i agree with big homie even i said last ngiht take the dog to a rsvpa as they probably wouldnt charge u as muhc but u obviously had lost intrest and nodded off to bed. u should have done something. especialy since you knew it had worms why did u leave the dog with worms for so long? de-worming is standard and cheap

[Smokey Bear]

The thing about worms is that (don't knwo if someone has already said this) is that the dog usually continues to eat, in fact they eat more because the wroms are are eating their food from the intestines. So that may not even be it.
Poor pup, take her to the Vet.

[Smokey Bear]

Sorry about above post.
And Iam sorry about your pup. Distemper is nasty buisness, and although is the most important vaccination, a lot of dogs still aren't vaccinated against it.
Distemper will kill even adult dogs.
So sorry again, it is horrible thinking about puppies dying when my girl has gotten to live for so long (17). It's just not fair.

At the end of the day W4terBong you should have pulled your finger out of you're arsehole and done something about it!

You say "apparantly didn't have her shots"!!!! What you mean "apparantly", se either did or she didn't mate, seriously!!!!

Most depressing thread ever, and Biggest "FOOT IN THE MOUTH" thread ever from w4terbong!

This is well bad!

[Euphoric]

A definite case of neglect. ( it could of been a lot worse. some people are much worse. but then i think its considered abuse.)
well she is in a better place now :)

[w4terb0ng]

The dog was given de-wormer awhile back. Even though when my mom was saying it had worms, I found none in her stool. Yes, I know that just because they weren't visible in her stool, they could have still been there. Worms had nothing to do with it. It was distemper. That is what I was told before the DOG WAS EUTHANIZED. I DID CALL AROUND last night. They WILL NOT take care of the dog free of charge. All they told me they could do is put it to sleep. I was still hoping that it was worms rather than distemper. I wanted to keep trying to feed her and get water in her until I could get her to the vet today. I did not have the fucking money to pay a vet when I found her TWO days ago in pain. I did what I could with no money. Some of you people make me fucking sick. Some of you, I appreciate the input and understanding.

Im not saying you abused that dog in anyway, but neglect is just as bad!

It just turns out that your best led to distemper and a slow, painful death.

[w4terb0ng]

neglect? when i don't have the funds to pay a vet that won't fucking do something about it and let me pay later? when the fucking SPCA won't take the dog without making a reservation? if i knew of someone that would've treated the dog, i'd have damn well done something about it. i didn't have the money until today. from what i've read, you can't cure distemper. all you can do is give supportive treatment. which to me is just as bad as letting her suffer. the damage was done... and no she didn't have her shots. that was not my responsibility, but it should have been done. again, had i the money to get her the shots, i might have done that. but i don't have the cash. the shit had already taken it's toll on her nervous system.. which is irreversable.

If you are tha bothered about something lad, then you do something about it! Don't think about it, you live with your Mother, get her o fuckin lend it too ya, it was only until today obviously as you just said you only got the money today!

My Thoughts. . . . . . .











. . . . . Bullshit!!!

[rastabill89]

Sorry about your loss man

[w4terb0ng]

i'm through arguing about this shit. if you knew how fucking selfish of a bitch my mom is with money, you might understand that i can't just GET HER TO LOAN IT TO ME. i loaned her 1500.00 and she told me to get fucked when i asked her to pay me back. that's all beside the point. i'm done arguing. i have nothing to prove to you.

bullshit all you want.

[death of sXe]

Well wa4terb0ng should get credit for making the calls, hey even posting about it. Its not like he purposefully gave her distemper. Some people are really evil like that unfortunately...theres more that could of been done but you did try to help!!
Think about it this way, youre the only one that seemed to expend some effort in helping her in her life. Theres no more pain + that is what is important now.
Billions of animals die every year from purposeful execution.

Shit man... I'm gone for 12 hours, and 4 fucking pages?

Ok, from what I could read, the dog passed away. :(

Am I right?

[w4terb0ng]

there may have been few other ways to do something better for her. unfortunately, i was very depressed over the shit and have never been in this type of situation.. so i wasn't sure what to do. that's why i came here asking you guys. everyone told me to go to the vet. but i swear i'm serious when i say that i was told over and over that they wouldn't see the dog unless i could pay for it. they wanted to put her to sleep and i was hoping that there was still something i could do about it. so i waited until today to go to the vet. it took me breaking down in front of my mom to get her to loan me the money. she knew the dog was sick and never offered to help either, therefore, being her usual asshole self, i didn't bother asking her for money, as she's too busy throwing it all away on her fucked up gambling problems. either way, you're right, if i didn't give a shit, i wouldn't have came here asking for help. i wouldn't have made the calls. i wouldn't have stayed up with her all night long trying to feed and water her. i did care. i just didn't know what to do.

no worries. i just wanted everyone to know that i did not purposely let this happen. i came here for advice because for as long as i've been coming here, there have always been people here willing to help in a time of need. so i just thought that maybe someone else had experienced something similar and might have something helpful to say about the situation, outside of taking her to the vet because i couldn't afford it. thank you all. she will be missed.
no more suffering.

[stonerneedsrealweed]

poor dog.. its always sad to see a dog die.. i had a red bordercollie and it got hit by a car...oh so sad...... sorry to hear that man but the dog should of been taked to a vet..and the 24/7 expreso vet should of been willing to treat her rather than pt the dog to sleep:(

[Jeff Spicoli]

THIS IS WHY FUCKING RETARDS(sorry if you take offence, this is to everyone) SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO HAVE PETS. IF YOU CAN NOT PROVIDE THE CARE AND LOVE THEY NEED, YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE ONE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

[w4terb0ng]

you're a little late on the bullshit comments, guy. thank you, come again. :)

[Az.]

dude, sorry to hear of your loss....
i nearly had tears rolling down my face for a bit then....

don't know what to say dude....I was pissed off with you at first.....but i probly would have freaked out if I were in your situation, and to be honest I probly would have come here for advise....

Don't worry about it dude....if you are honest with yourself and you did do all you possibly could for the dog then that is fair enough...

again dude im sorry to hear that :(

I'm very sorry to hear that she has passed. I was reading this thread last night, and was practically crying 'cause I wanted to be able to do something to help.
You tried to do the best you could, I can tell you loved her.

I guess the final lesson is for your girlfriend. Don't get a pet if you can't keep it in your own home and provide it with love and at least basic care. Shots are very important, especially for puppies. When warmer weather comes there is flea/tick protection, heartworm protection on top of a good quality dog food and the annual physical and shots. It's not inexpensive, by any means and people really need to think about how they are going to care for a pet, not just get one impulsively 'cause they think it's "cute".

Again, my condolences.

Rest In Peace Puppy Girl.

Soon I am off to bed and will be bringing my two pups with me to cuddle. We'll say a little prayer for Betty. Like we did last night. I am sorry.

[mike45]

:confused: bro not to make u feel worse...but yd u agree to take the dog in if you knew u couldnt take care of it. You have no money, and your mom wont lend you any. Not the brightest move man. Sorry to hear about your dog tho. I just think its funny u came to a board for stoners for advice.:confused:

[w4terb0ng]

blah.

[Skink]

I stated my feelings here... I can see upset feelings toward the pain and suffering the poor pup went through,but the dude was totally irresponsible!!!

He should not get and by all means does not deserve a sympathy card...

I think half of this thread is a confession,maybe he needs to see a preist...

[w4terb0ng]

you're still not accomplishing anything. why are you still at it? will it make you feel better if i agree to be an asshole? :)

[Skink]

I only stated my opinion,your guilt is your own problem...

This will be my last post on the subject,,, I promise...

OK I will break my promise for this rebuttal....

You misinterpreted my post,I said nothing about feeling bad,in-fact I think he does hence the guilt/confession part...

it wasn't a confession.




... lying builds character. keep up the good word. :thumbsup:
