    I am sorry you don't have the money, most vets will offer a payment plan. Puppies dehydrate quickly and can die so he needs to get seen sooner rather than later. I would seriously call around and try to work out a plan for payment. Diarrhea can also be caused by parvo and a host of other diseases and bacteria besides giardia.

    From the fundraising site, it appears that he has already been diagnosed with giardia and is under the care of a vet. Thankful it's not parvo! My pup is 10 weeks old too, and I am super-paranoid about him getting sick.

    Hope Arrow is better soon!

    It is. I've not been to a vet that didn't at least offer care credit. Not ideal, but maybe an option.

    You say here you think he has giardia. On your fundraising site you say he was diagnosed with giardia. Sorry, but this looks very suspicious to me. You give contradictory information.

    The responsibility of getting a dog and the expenses involved... you should have thought about it before getting a dog... you don't want me get started on this one.. especially since you have had him for a couple of weeks?! It's not like something drastic happened to your life after 5 years with your dog and you suddenly don't have the money..

    Well my dog was sick twice in the last two months, so things like this happen. You should have thought about it when you decided to get a dog.

    I definitely won't apologize for being suspicious. People use many tricks to get money, so why not use their dog.
