Hey guys, we’re having some problems with Sallie. Could you please pray for her & my family & that everything will be alright? For the past several days, she’s been eating very little, and vomiting several times a day. (3x two days ago) Even though we couldn’t afford it, we took her to the vet yesterday. Mom was hoping the cost wouldn’t be more then $50-$100, but it ended up being around $400. She ended up getting 3 X-rays, a shot to calm her stomach, an antibiotic, and a blood test. She’s still not eating very much, and is pretty lethargic.

Looking at the X-rays, the doctor said her intestines should be evenly distributed around, but they’re shoved to the rear. She said she can’t tell why from the X-ray. Also her spleen is enlarged. She said that could be from age, a tick bite, diabetes or cancer. She said her intestines also looked inflamed, and gave us an antibiotic for her. Here are the X-rays:







She’ll be 5 this Thanksgiving. I think she’s pretty young to have this trouble. The blood test results haven’t come back yet. Next we’re gonna have to get a urine sample, and that’s another $50 or so. The next step if that doesn’t help is a MRI, which costs $300. The vet said if she needs a surgery, it would be another $600-$1000. If something is wrong with her spleen, it could be removed and she’d be ok. If not removed, she’d eventually bleed to death internally. If it is cancer, if it’s early enough it could be removed, otherwise it would eventually kill her.

My Mom wanted a Weimer her whole life, and finally got one with Sallie. Sallie is the first dog I’ve had since I was a little kid. My Dad and brother are saying we can’t afford those kinds of costs, and let nature take its course. Mom and I are very attached to her and want to do whatever we can to make her well. The situation is causing a lot of stress and anxiety. Please keep us all in your prayers, & that she’ll be ok with minimal expense. Thanks guys.

Sorry to hear that Andy, sending some smoke your way.

well wishes sent yall's way!

Sallie's a sweet dog. My prayers go out to her.

So very sorry to hear about your dog, Andy. I know how our pets quickly become loved family members. Your family and Sallie will be in my prayers.

Prayers and smoke sent. I know the pain, I lost a good friend a few years back. Of all the family members in the house, she tended to follow me around the most. Always stuck by me for some reason. Very, very hard I tell you. Now we have another and wouldn't you know it? Of all the family members in the house, she tends to follow me around the most. My sister says it is because I smell funny. Anyways, great pics <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> .

Sorry Andy. God bless.

Sallie is in our prayers Andy!
