Answer
Hi Annette:  So sorry that you and your new EBD are having such troubles.  Talk to the manager of the pet store and ask them to pay the VET bills ... This little one could have Parvo or could have a virus and be very dehydrated.  The VET bills could run 300.oo to 900.00- depends on the diagnosis.  ( Who knows, could be just a very bad case of worms and parasites,too)

You may need to get the Attorney General, of your state, on this case.  They protect people from Rip offs.

In the mean time, this baby can die.... Try to get the VET to take payments on this ....GET some help for this baby now..


I wish that I had some magic words for you!  sorry
