Looking for desperate help with my dog I have a 2 year old yorkie terrier who suddenly had gotten worse and worse.. we took her to the vet here in kingwood and after an x ray and some tests they let us know that she has an obstruction (and the estimate for that is 9k) and she also has hip displacia. We were given the dog almost a year ago and could tell something was wrong with her hips but she didnt seem to be in pain, still ran around and living a normal life. Now, obstruction surgery needs to be done asap, and like I said, we got quoted $9k max, which we dont have. Im looking to see what options I have or if anyone here in the neighborhood would take the financial care for her to have the surgery she needs (and of course keep her afterwards) because I dont want her suffering or in pain. We paid the vet visit, x ray, and a shot thats supposed to help with pain. But urgently asking for someone to take over financially and for her as well. Its already hard because we are all attached to her, and she is the best dog ever and it breaks my heart. With back to school shopping, and how expensive life is getting we did not expect from one day to the next to pay 9k for a surgery. Let me know if you have any advice.

Maybe a second opinion that might have better news or help. Lake Houstom Animal Hospital are really reasonable too. I would go to them for a second opinion.
I agree with others; get a second opinion. we like the staff and Vets at Animal Hospital of Humble, in 1960. Very reasonable, and very caring and professional.

I am sorry you are going through this. I would also get a second opinion and maybe look into CareCredit. I don't know the terms of it, but I have heard several people have gotten it for help with their pets.
Donnawisdom, SummerSneeze and BrendaT + 1 more reacted That is a huge amount that many/most people cannot afford. Perhaps a rescue group could help with a different veterinarian and financial assistance?
Please do a Google search asking "Charity help with Vet Bills "....it brings up lots of resources and advice. Think also a second opinion would be good....
Try to look on the Bissell pet foundation site for help.
Update.... So upon further testing we were told that she was having severe kidney failure, had bladder stones causing an obstruction and her bladder was 3x's bigger than what it needed to be.
With all that said, they advised us to euthanize considering the pain and discomfort, and due to severity of the kidney failure it was a huge risk through surgery.
We had to make a quick and sudden decision and we are completely heartbroken. Still havent told my kids and dont know how to approach that yet. Thank you everyone for your advice.

I'm so sorry. This is so sad especially for such a young dog to have so many issues
Oh my God I am so sorry, but there is no better demonstration of love towards their beloved pet than knowing when the right time is to let them go❤️…. how old are your children?
I am so sorry you're going through this & still have to tell your kids.
She's over the rainbow bridge 🌉
May she rest in peace!🙏
