    I have a 10 year old Chocolate Lab. She was fine Last Friday, barking, playing.
    Saturday, she woke up, had a very hard time walking on her front paws, she has no energy, very lethargic, has a blank stare and very hard breathing. I dont know what to do. Cannot afford a vet, any suggestions? All happened suddenly overnight

    Paul can you get her to a PDSA Vet ? I don't really think that we can diagnose her problems, or even that we should do as it could be any number of problems , but a PDSA Vet would be free for you . So sorry that your dog is poorly please try and get proper professional help for her .

    Paul, your dog sounds in urgent need of veterinary attention. She really needs you to get her to a vet as soon as possible, and I hope very much that she will be ok.

    It is possible that a vet may agree to look at her and defer payment. Or let you pay in instalments. The PDSA would be ideal but I think you are in the States and I don't think they operate there.


    Is there an equivalent charity to the PDSA in the states, does anyone know?

    Just found this Animal Care Fund - I don't know anything about them, but might be worth looking into .
