I think a trip to the vet would be a first priority instead of coming on line and ASKING!!

You may have found it rude, if it had been a face to face question, it would have been more then rude, but I can't understand why your first immediate choice would not have been the vet if it was a sick puppy involved. We can't diagnose, so why would you waste time?

Well tickle we don't have a lot of money and we were trying to get ahold of the vet just thought we would see if someone knew something about it!! And if we were face face you would have heard some RUDE things also!! People like you are no goog!!

Yes, absolutely, all of that, rude, no good but the bottom line is, over the years I have not been absolutely flush with cash but when my dog gets sick and I haven't got a solution, then its off to the vet I go, even if it has to be expensive dead of night emergency care. I have even cleaned a vets surgery (talk about a yuck factor) for a week to pay once upon a time.

Another bottom line, is, my sincere apologies if I offended you, sick puppies always get the best of me ! There are just so many ways pups can get sick nowadays, parvovirus, heartworm, whatever. None of them pleasant for a small animal.

Well while trying to get ahold of the vet we thought maybe someone out here could help us also, but we get a VERY rude reply!! But we do not hold that against everyone else. Just to let you know TICKLE we have our puppy at the vet!! Thanks for nothing!! You are a very RUDE person and should not be able to be on a site like this!! Thought this was a place to get advice and help not ruddness!! To all else thank you

I can't afford to keep going to the vet too.
