Ok idk wut to do. Many of yu have probably read some of my questions and know my female has some kind of rash. Well the situation has gotten worse, it's spreading and now she's scratching till she bleeds constantly all day long. Here's the thing, I can't afford to get her tested for allergies but now it's worse bcuz I can't find a job and my husband just lost his job this morning... So the question is (plz don't judge) but is it fair to sell my male to get her the treatment she needs? I don't want to lose either bcuz I love them but idk wut else to do. I've tried and tried to get a job but the economy sucks so bad no one is hiring...

With all of the problems I've read that you have with the dog I don't think your going to have an easy time selling the dog especially without papers.

My male has papers, and it's not like I want to sell him but I have nothing else to sell... I love my dogs and I certainly don't want to sell either if them bcuz if their breed I don't want them to end up in the wrong hands

Hey friend I don't recommend you selling your dog. If you cannot afford his care then I would advise you to neuter him and take the time to find him a good home. If not he could end up in the wrong hands. Is he the fearful dog??

Yes but it's my other dog who has the health problems. I don't want to rehome either one of them. I have to sell something to get my female into the vet...

Dogs are not walking checks that we can cash in when times are hard. I know it's hard for you but selling your dog shouldn't be an option, rehoming maybe but not just selling for cash.

If you love your dogs but can't afford their care the best thing to do for the dogs and you is to get them to somebody who can. The risk you take with selling or giving away a pet that you love is that not all pet owners are respectable. I rehomed my female and she ended up in the wrong hands. I still feel bad about it. Definately check the people out that want your pet. Get vet references, visit their home, ask about other pets or kids if that might be an issue. If he's peeing in the house make sure to be HONEST about that so that somebody won't take him for an indoor pet and then be stuck not sure what to do (it's happened to me and its awful) also be sure to be up front about any aggression or things like that. Honesty is the best policy to insure that the dog ends up in a good situation.

I just can't give up my dogs tho, homeless ppl can have pets, not afford care but can give the best loving homes for dogs. I love my dogs, they r my kids, I wouldn't give up my children if I couldn't afford to take them to a doctor. So y is this any different. I know I can't give them the best health but I can give them more love than most ppl

I'm confused? You ask about selling one dog but then say you can't give up your dogs. If you "sell" one dog to afford care for another then what happens if something else happens and you can't afford that either? Now I am not judging trust me. I've been in the not best situation ever and I agree dogs are like children. My pets would eat before I did if it came to that. But when owning a pet healthcare is an important part of that. If you can't give an animal a good quality of life then the love is meaningless. I have 9 dogs my last vet bill was over $700 and that was just routine care. That's part of owning an animal.

I thought you said you had already gotten rid of her fleas? You must understand we are just reading what you post. You stated here you were considering selling your male to pay for vet care for your female then in another post you say that you are rehoming both because you can't afford vet care and your husband lost his job...

I thought we did, we just bombed the house, they both were treated for fleas but there r still fleas in the house. And yes I did consider rehoming them but I love my dogs too much to just throw them out the door and into someone else's hands.

Get them on trifexis. It is a once monthly pill for heartworm, worms, fleas, and ticks. It is great stuff. It's around $20 a month or $100 for 6 months its cheaper if you buy a year also.

Hmm I've never heard if that bfor, where can I get it? Idk if my vet has that

I would think any vet should be able to have it. My vet recommends it and puts it in their puppy packs when you first bring a pup in so I've got ALL of my dogs on it. It's a chewable tablet I squish sliced cheese up like play dough and then pop the pill in the middle and they take it pretty easily. We haven't had a flea or tick problem for awhile.
