My Poor Puppy

Yesterday she broke out in a whole body rash of huge bumps. I dropped her off at the vet this morning and they ran some tests and they called and told me she has demodex mange THANK GOD its not contagious to other dogs because FH and I are leaving her with a friend for the next 10 days while we are in NY and they have 2 dogs. I'm so sad for my little puppy...shes had nothing but health problems since we rescued her a few months ago.

And to top it off...vet bill is $600 ....gotta tap into the wedding fund

Aww, poor pup

Firstly, you might want to look into veterinary health insurance. I have it for my cat, who is prone to UTI's, and it helps when emergencies arise.

Secondly, I feel like your puppy was matched with you guys for a reason. A lot of people would just give up on an animal with health problems...you guys are doing what you can to treat her conditions!

Aww the poor baby. I'd definitely look into health insurance if he's prone to health issues. It's not that expensive surprisingly! Good luck! Hope he feels better!
