Hi all! I really need help with my sweet girl. I was a vet tech for 2 and a half years. While I was working there a breeder gave her to me because she was blind and mother was not feeding her. She was 4 weeks old then. I bottle fed her for 3 weeks. At 13 weeks she was only half blind and was spayed. At a year she had to have hip surgery. She has always struggled with her hip since. I had always been able to get care for her until I had to leave my job (caring for elderly grandparents). At this point I cannot afford her health issues and I'm worried she has some serious infection. She has stayed on hearguard etc. I have her on fluoxetine and arthritis medicine but she has lost a significant amount of weight. I asked about a different food I could put her on and switched her to a high fat/calorie diet but she keeps losing weight. Her hip also keeps swelling and I cannot afford to take her to the vet. At this point I need to find her a home/rescue or put her to sleep to stop her pain (last resort). She is super sweet. I believe she has ocd but she manages with her meds. We have two cats she does really well with and two male dogs. She gets super excited when first meeting dogs but is a little snappy at first. We have two kids she is remarkable with and she really loves anyone. I want her to continue having a good life.
