Agreed. My lab's mom lives right beside us, and a few months ago both of them got the same blood parasite. Nasty things, them are. Thankfully I have an awesome vet, so he came over and made many house visits over the weeks.
Got meds for both dogs, but my neighbor went and lost hers, and didn't tell me about it, because she was too embarrassed to since I picked up the bill. I didn't find out until my dog's meds were gone, and he started getting deathly sick again, so I went to get a refill and asked my neighbor if she needed more.
So her dog hadn't had any meds for two weeks, and the dog couldn't do anything except wiggle around on the floor, and yelp in pain. The vet came by, and he was even going to put her down that night, but my neighbor wasn't having it. If it was my dog (at the time) I would have had it put down. I didn't see any reason to put her through that suffering, especially since I figured even if the dog does somehow magically pull through, she''ll live a life of suffering, as I was sure the blood parasite had already done permanent damage to various internal organs.
Nonetheless, neighbor decided to keep the dog alive, so for the next several weeks the dog just wriggled around on the floor, while yelping in pain. Sure enough though, she's actually fine now. Walks a bit lopsided I guess, but other than that, always has a big smile on her face, can eat and goto the bathroom normally, etc.
I have been so busy with taking care of my precious little dude and plan on doing something special to thank everyone who donated. Thank you all again your help means more than you will ever know.
Glad to hear the lab is doing better. They are very active I got a 3 year old chocolate lab. They like to chew a lot!
I remember the first time I had to take my dog to the ER vet. She was 2 years old and got sick as fuck. Puking everywhere, wouldn't eat. After a few days, I realized it was probably pretty serious and took her in. I paid every penny in full cause I couldn't bear seeing her in pain like that. Turns out it was nothing but a stomach bug. Goodbye 1k. No wonder vets have nice houses and cars.
A few years ago she was limping one night and crying bloody murder, so of course I freaked out and took her back to the ER vet. Spent another $500 so they could tell me it was nothing. Just a sprain. She probably jumped off the couch too hard or something, I don't know. Gave me some painkillers for her, which she puked up all over my carpet every time I made her take them. Awesome.
But, if i had to do it all over, I would. She is my baby. She is my little (100 lbs) buddy. Always there to make me smile no matter what. She hangs out under my computer desk every day and always makes me laugh with the goofy shit she does.
People who say pets aren't awesome have no soul.

Just saw this thread when Barry made a thread about his girlfriend being horny towards Martin. What's your PayPal ? Could chip in some money.
UPDATE - My little bear cub made it through the night. He didn't have diarrhea or vomit at all overnight and he is very alert this morning and his temperature is normal. The vet is going to try some bland food this morning. Things are looking good!
What a hot vet.
Really good to see people coming through. Im really glad to see that your little pup made it through. Any life that can be saved is worth saving.
I paid out £2k on my cat last year. Lost a leg (rear) and he was in a very bad way. Luckily he recovered very quickly and is now living a very happy and active life.
For anyone that says don't bother, fuck you, I feel sorry for anyone that has to put up with you.
Have you managed to generate enough money for the bill?
Please let me know how much is left. I would't mind sending you over a donation.

BAD NEWS- I took him home yesterday at 3pm cause the vet said he was doing well and could go home. Around 10pm last night he has bloody diarrhea and started to vomit. He hasn't eaten or drank anything in 12 hours and has been pooping blood/vomiting every 30 minutes. I called the vet on her cell and she is making an extra trip on her day off to the vet office to meet me there and get him back on the iv and his meds. He is in horrible condition right now. He will most likely need another 2-3 days of hospital treatment, costing another $1,500. Please help if you can anything at all I am devastated.
