(71,560 posts)shaving the top of the hip to prevent rubbing I don't know but my DIL's Mom had a small dog who was hit by a car and the vet wanted to do all sorts of things they couldn't afford. They brought the dog home on pain pills to die basically. But the dog didn't die. Of course I have a sick dog right now that my vet has basically treated for the cost of meds...wonderful guy. The dog was poisoned-we don't know how- and had almost no red blood cells when I took him in. His red blood cells are better but he has an infection so he spent the afternoon yesterday hooked up on IV's getting fluids and antibiotics at the vet...sent home on antibiotics. The vet charged me nothing except for the cost of the bloodwork. Today I hand fed him some chicken and he drank still not moving much. He now he needs an antacid and Pedialyte so I am on my way to CVS to get it. I love this dog so much but all I can do at this point is wait. The dog is not in pain so he can stay home and die in my arms if it comes to that. He is a Pom. Animals add so much to our lives...and leave an empty place in our hearts when they go.
