I woke up in the morning, and whent out side to give my dog a treat. and i could not find him. well i found him inside his dog house barley moving because he got hit by a car (im guessing) . the top of his head is missing the skin and his mouth is swollen.. im lucky that he is still alive, but he looks bad.... not a good christmas for me

Try taking him to a local animal shelter and explain your situation. Perhaps they might be able to render aid to your dog. They won't generally turn away most animals when they are severely injured.

I hope your companion make's it and wish you the best during your difficult time.

thanks. i will see if there is one near me... it sucks that i cant take him in (in college and no job ) i will try to borrow money from some friends if the animal shelter does not want to help.

I believe my mom did it when i was a kid. just explian it all, suks I had to put mmy dog to sleep two yrs ago he got out from fireworks on new years even when i camehome couldnt find him an found him out back in the orchards 5 house's down curl'd up an swallon around his hips an couldnt walk. took him in an would of took alot of surgery an said he might not make being older, so i put him down. an they waved the x-ray fee. best of luck. i know how it is been threw it myself

Hey Moses I know that many vet hospitals take payments so if he doesn't get any better you may want to think about getting him some treatment. Sucks to hear that and hope the doggie is ok.

TAKE THE DAMN DOG TO A VET!



Edit: worst fucking case, call and tell the vet you have $150 (amount donated from members here) and you need the dog looked at but cannot afford more at this time.

OMG THAT IS HELLA BEYOND SAD IM SO SORRY FOR YOUR FAMILY KEEP US POSTED AND WHAT WE CAN DO TO HELP OUT

If he needs stitches its best to do it ASAP, not when or after it starts to heal up. You also gotta worry about infections. I can't really see anything in the pics they are too small and blurry. Is that you in the 1st pic laying next to the dog?

If you do plan to take him to the vet I will pm you my phone number and you can call me from the vets office where I will pay by CC over the phone. Just ask for the handsome red head in case someone else answers my phone. Let me know cuz I'm busying running around during these holidays so I'm not on the computer as much as usual.

I'm still drinking egg nogg so I'm not quite myself.

i dont think he got ran over from ur description and the pic......i think maybe he got out, and got jumped by a bigger dog and booked it back to his house to hide.

Posted by 1FAST89GT (Member # 5071) on :
 
i'll shoot you $20 too

Posted by Dag302 (Member # 4682) on :
 
If I can do it over the phone to the vet I will put some money on it also. I know it gets expensive. My dog a few months ago got a foxtail in her eye. I was freaked out. Ended up costing me a grand for that. Then one of my other ones had some kind of infection and that ran me 600 dollars. Thats what I get for having 4 dogs. Pm me if you are taking him to the vet and we can work it out.

I am sorry about your dog.. all our animals are family to us.. its sad... but also call your local SPCA and tell them whats going on.. they might also be able to help out or point you in the right direction.

Just so you know, the owner of the dog can get in a LOT of legal trouble if he is in that bad of shape and not taken care of.

Just take him to the vet ASAP. Or call the SPCA and they will do it.

Give us an update! Did you take the dog to the vet? I'll sign up to help pay. PM me.

Damn, you need to reply to these people, these guys are tring to help you out for the sake of the dog, poor dog. You made it seem like the dog was alomst dead or somthing but looks like a scratch on the pics but you cant really tell cause of the shitty cell pic. You said he looked ok but lke you said, still check up on him at the vet

Posted by Diamond Dave (Member # 5023) on :
 
I don't even know you, but I'll throw in $50 too. Please get him taken care of.

damn hella sad man, i hate when pets get hurt. last xmas(06) one of my cats got run over and killed and my last bday in july the other got run over and killed. really hurts inside when that stuff happens. hope you can take advantage of all the generosity on this board and get him fixed up

There's a really awesome vet in los altos... Adobe animal hospital ... 396 1st St, Los Altos - (650) 948-9661. They are upscale and nice, but wayyyyy cheaper than most places in San Jo. And
they do great things for people who are strapped for cash but love their pets. Or you can get in touch with furry friends rescue (a pet adoption/placement group), they love helping people in need. But call up the Adobe place first, cuz thats where furry friends sends people. Good luck!

Posted by Pure Stang (Member # 7251) on :
 
I called yesterday and all the pet places where closed. i called today and got a appointment for tomorrow... they said its 49 just to take look at him. The pet vet is called evergreens valley vet ( or something like that) its on the east side of san jose on capitol right before the 101. the appointment is for 530

he is doing alot better to day, but still has alittle trouble eating, and its a little hard for him to turn his head. but other than that he is doing alot better.


thanks guys. for those that do want to help, i am unsure how we are suppose to so this because i have never had somethig like this happen to me.

they diagnosed my dog there with stomach cancer, surgery was $4k and was only a small chance that he'd make it. didnt have the money, and died not to long after that, it's been like 2yrs or so and i havent cried since that day......

i'll meet u there and throw in those $20 foo

how do the vets work? do they want a chunk up front? or they can do everything in payments?
 

---

Posted by cummins (Member # 5931) on :
 
Funny thing.... I tapped a vet from Adobe and also one from Evergreen!! hahahaahhaha. They could not resist my beaming red hair and my big python arms. Me and my dogs both got serviced!

Anyway, just go in there and when its payment time then call peeps up and have them kick down. This way we won't be funding your new motor build. hahahahahaah. The vets will allow you to make payments if you need to. But it seems like people here have you covered and then some. I'm sure he's going to need some medicine too.

Posted by Pure Stang (Member # 7251) on :
 
thanks cummins and everyone else.... i guess what a couple people are doing is that when its time to pay i call them and they give what ever they feel like paying over the phone.... if you would like to do that shot me a pm with your number and i will call from the vet if needed... or how ever you guys want to do it... if you change your mind about helping its ok im not obligating you to help, it your choice. once again thanks

Posted by inferno03 (Member # 6519) on :
 
it's good to here your dogs doing better but if your going to use peroxide again mix half and half with pure water otherwise it will eat away at his skin. Oh, and keep him warm and clean so try to keep him inside. and get antibiotics!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by Pure Stang (Member # 7251) on :
 
thanks for all the support. he will be ok. i just have to keep him clean and watch out for infections. which so far there is no sign... thanks for everyone for your support!
