My little dog Fofinha, `filhote (daughter) of my Fofa that died last year, was injured last week by an apparent burgler trying to enter the main house next door. The caretaker lady saw a lantern and the house was `locked down` as it had been burglerized twice this last year ... once by pistol, tied her up and stole all the money in the house, cell phones, laptop computer, and some art valuable objects. Second time just money and new cell phone. All the outside dogs responded and the figure was (by the lady) seen striking at the dogs with a club-like stick. Then she heard Fofinha howl and start crying. She called me to get her.
She is now inside my house, bedded below my desk at my feet... And hurting really bad. However she still wags her tail and looks at me to do something. Such a good little dog. In January when the puppies were poisoned (13 died) I managed to save three ... but I ran up a huge bill with two vets. And medicines I purchased wholesale at the supply house. I have paid half this account little by little when my benefit funds arrive each month. The local vet (very money concious) refuses to even look at her until I pay off the entire account. Impossible right now.
And I am not a vet and can not actually determine what is wrong with her. I am afaid it might be something with her spine. She can not bear any weight on her back legs and she is constantly quivering (jerking) and obviously in pain.
The vet in Joáo Pessoa is even worse and there is no emergency animal hospital any where near I can take her to. Also, I can not take her on the bus because the dog transport case I have is OK for puppies but she is too big (and too heavy) for it ... and I do not have a larger transport cage.
The only solution right now is to pay off the local vet and pay her for a house call .... just that, would take R$ 300, without any extended care or further treatment.
If I had the little car I am trying to get ... transportation would be solved but that is still a dream.
I am trying to get a picture of her with the cell phone ... I had several on the laptop that burnt up. It breaks my heart to see a little animal suffering and not be able to do something to help her and maybe save her life.... and honestly I hate when an animal doctor (or vet) places money ahead of saving an animal.
