my dogs eye is messed up
 

3 nights ago we woke up and my dogs eye was crusted and swolen shut. so 2 nights ago my dad looked at it closely and opened her eye and pulled out a "foxtail" weed. it was about an inch long.[:'(] heres a pic of what they are. my dad took her to our church to run around and we're positive it came from there. so we figured it would just heal up now that the problem was out of her eye. btw we try as much as we can not to go to the vet. we cant afford it. pretty much if its more than like 300$ then we will just have the pet put down cause we dont have the money. and to put a pet down is around 300. [:@]. stupid vets just out there to steal peoples moneys. anyway so this morning we looked and her eye (around the eye) isnt swolen anymore but the eye itself is all cloudy. and its bugging her a bunch too. so my parents decided we were going to take her to a vet today. and hopefully they wont have to do anything major and charge us a ****load.

had a dog with one of those in its leg, the leg got all swollen, and we couldn't tell that the stupid thing was in there until the vet cut open the swollen area to drain the puss. glad we never had to worry about how much the vet bill was going to cost when it came to healthcare.

so basically what your saying is that if you take the dog to the vet today, and the bill is more than $300, your going to put your dog "down"? Thats pretty fcucked up. I dont see how people could do this to a "family" member.

I am not surprised...it was true66gt that posted a week a go or two in some pet thread saying that this dude should just kill his dog

if i couldnt afford $300 to fix the dog i would give it away or put it down too.. do you expect him to remortgage his home to fix a dog?

That is messed up(about shooting a dog cause its "old"), can't believe they charge so much though. My mom had to have her dog put down and they charged $35.
