    Okay. That makes more sense.

    Your other post was very horribly written. From that post it sounded like you already went to the vet, 14 minutes after you posted that you had an appointment tomorrow, and that you were given a diagnosis and told to just go home and give pedialyte.

    Pedialyte will help. If it's parvo than the sooner you get in to the vet the higher the pups chance for survival. Parvo is deadly. The earlier it's caught and treated, the better. An hour or two can make a huge difference. The fatality rate for parvo is very high.

    Any chance of your dad loaning you the money tonight so you can get the pup into the 24 hour vet?

    Okay, let me try again.

    I realize that you're taking her to the vet tomorrow. That's good. Good girl. Pedialyte is good, it will help, but it's not a cure. Keep giving her the pedialyte, that's good. Very good. Understand?

    Parvo is very deadly. That means that dogs that get parvo, more of them die than live. The sooner it's treated (which means seen by a vet and given the right medicine), the better the chances of living. That means that if you take the dog to the vet now, the dogs chances of living are better than if you take the dog tomorrow morning.

    Do you understand?

    You said a friend gave you this puppy because he couldn't take care of it anymore. Get your story straight.

    I think that the bottom line here is that you can't afford the puppy. After the puppy has been to the vet, I think you should rehome to a family who is capable of taking care of her.

    If you are depressed, then get on something, but don't make another living thing suffer because you don't have the funds to take care of her.

    I know I seem harsh, but lets face it, you are being selfish.

    Why do you have to go to the hospital for your depression?

    I suffer from depression. I know what it entails, and it doesn't hospital bills.

    I also know that giving someone with depression a puppy, is stupid. A person that's so deep in depression that they need to be hospitalized, can't care for a puppy, they can't even wipe their own butt.

    Here's what I think. I think you bought the puppy, and you can't afford it. You didn't properly care for the pup, didn't get her the shots she needs, now she has parvo. You feel guilty, because you weren't a good pet owner, so you lied and said that a friend gave you the puppy because he couldn't care for it. Silly. Why would a friend that can't care for a puppy give the puppy to someone else that can't care for it?

    When you decide to start telling the truth, I'll be happy to listen, but dear, you're not smart enough to lie to me and not be detected. Telling the truth would be a lot easier.

    She is probably telling the truth. When my uncle was depressed (he was bipolar), his neighbors all kicked in and gave him a beautiful caged bird. He loved birds and the neighbors thought the bird would cheer him up. One day I watched him vacuuming up the seed covers on the floor and saw him trying to suck the bird through the bars of the cage. I returned the bird to the neighbors and took him to the hospital psych unit for 6-8 weeks (where he went every few years after he would stop taking his meds)..
