    Jaundice? Liver problems? Take her to an emergency vet clinic today (Sunday).

    She has already been to the vet and they said that they can do a bunch of test for a couple thousand of dollars. We don't how that much money.:(

    I would say that the best thing to do is take her to an Emergency ( or regular) vet ASAP! Best bet would to get her there today! I can't help you with the symptoms, but as a animal lover myself.. I wouldn't want you to loose your doogy, so hurry to the vet :)

    Oops I just saw your second post, sorry! I know vet bills can be big. Maybe if you call a Animal shelter and ask them for advice. Sometimes the Vets there are cheaper..?

    Ask your vet if you can work out a payment plan or get a credit card to pay for the tests.

    Skimp on the little things for a while like the internet or take-away food.

    At least get them to run a 6 panel blood chemistries. Are her gums yellow too? That's a sign of liver damage. She needs to go to the vet NOW. There is nothing anyone here can do.

    Did they say what you could do to make her more comfortable? Even tell you what it probably is? Is euthanasia the choice if you can't afford tests and treatment?

    This is an emergency situation, there's nothing any of us can do to help. She needs vet care.

    Like Shazzy said, talk to your vet, work out a payment plan.

    Yellow eyes, not moving, eating or drinking, your dog won't live long if this isn't dealt with.

    Call your vet. Now. Explain the situation.

    Take her back into the vet immediately, if they will not accept a payment plan or you do not want to pay the money then euthanasia may be the way to go.

    You could try calling your local shelter to see if they will help as well.

    I'll be blunt, if you do end up taking her to the vet, nursing her back to health will probably cost you at least a thousand dollars.

    If this is not something you can afford, please consider humanely putting her to sleep, so she does not suffer.

    I would say rush her to the vet now! Maybe they can at least give her something to ease the pain. Maybe she got into something that poisoned her.

    I don't think that vet care is possible for the OP. I read her other posts, she seems to be a teen. Not many teens have thousands of dollars.

    Talk to your mom, it's her responsibility to ensure the health and welfare of this dog. If she doesn't want to dish out the money for vet care at least spend the money to humanely put the dog to sleep.

    I'm so sorry this is happening. For now make her comfortable, but talk to your mom.

    A vet is your only choice now.
    Talk to some people and see if they can lend you some money.

    This is just advice, but you should have an emergency account for your pets just in case they get sick.

    Good Luck!:)

    I'm so sorry to hear that.

    From what you described I didn't think she'd make it, but that doesn't make it any easier for you.

    Sorry for your loss.
