PLEASE HELP US TO HELP SWEETPEA

Hi everyone, Our new and lovely little brown dog, Sweetpea, who we've had since September 2020, has been deteriorating since last night. Stayed in her bed all night, no vomiting or diarrhea, but saliva dripping from her mouth.  She has been ill for three days now. 

​We were gifted Sweetpea from an animal shelter for abused animals, by a dear friend.  She was so frightened when we first brought her home, but she's just a bundle of joy for us now (when she is well), and she has such a funny character.  It's breaking my heart to see her so ill.

I'm still expecting an abdominal obstruction or a severe infection. She's not eating or drinking since last night when her injections from the vet wore off... she's too quiet and still.

Doing strange things like if she does get up, going to a dark and secluded corner in the house or yard and just sitting there facing a corner or lying down there on the cold concrete in the garden... in my frightened mind, it's a dog finding a place to die. She's feeling very ill. Vet opens at 07h30... we have to take her back asap.

I know that these are hard times for everyone, but if someone has the financial ability to help and are willing, please could you make a deposit into my FNB account or phone/email the vet to ask for their banking details so that your help can be anonymous and reference it for Sweetpea Ryall.

My banking details are attached and the Vet information. Please help us to help Sweetpea. We love her so much.  When she is well, she makes us laugh every day, but now we are just so worried for her.

The vet could not find any evidence yesterday of her having been spayed, so if she comes right from this illness, we would still need to have the spaying done sometime and her extra tooth extracted. He said that a baby tooth refusing to fall out can trap food particles and cause problems for the adult teeth, so it would need to be removed. We would need help to have that done also.

Please help.  Any donations would be such a blessing and lift such a load.  If money is deposited into the Vet's account, he could keep it under our name for the future needs for our dogs. 

Trixie our other little and much older black furred dog might need treatment for arthritis someday soon.  We had her at the vet recently for a very sore shoulder.  That cost us around R500  and Sweetpea's bill yesterday was R750.  Going back today with Sweetpea will mean more and we have no idea how much.  She will need to have x-rays and maybe an intravenous drip for dehydration and she might need an operation if she has an obstruction.

Please help us to save her.

Thank you.
