I adopted a puppy from Polk Animal Shelter over the weekend. She is extremely sick. I\u2019m not sure she will make it. I took her to the vet yesterday\u2026 I have given her four doses of antibiotics she was prescribed, but she\u2019s doing worse today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel she needs a long stay at a vet office where she can get fluids and they can monitor her. I\u2019m exhausted and don\u2019t know what else to do as she will no longer eat.<\/p>\n\n\n

Does anyone know of a vet office that won\u2019t cost me thousands to keep her and can help this puppy survive? The vet office I took her to did not suggest she stay there. I just feel helpless at this time. I\u2019m open to all suggestions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
