Default My dog needs surgery!!!!

I followed everyones advise and made my crate smaller. I used metal mesh and cut the crate inhalf - just allowing enough room for my "Bella" to move and lye down. Well...Bella chewed up some of the medal and it's now lodge in the lining in her stomach wall as well as her small intestines! She stopped eating on Saturday and was very quiet. My husband took her to our vet today and she has only a 30-40% change of this "passing" through her. She hasn't kept food/water down and is very dehydrated. We brought her home tonight and she's on a special food to help her keep it down. If this doesn't work she'll need surgery. She is only 11 months old. The cost of this can be anywhere from $1500-2400.00. We don't have that cash!! Does anyone know of any place I can search for donations? I went on Care Credit and was approved for some of it. I don't want to put her down - which will be the end results if I don't come up with the rest of the money. I am praying that she can pass this on her own. I am so desperate for some feedback! She is like my "baby" and I couldn't bare think of her gone at 11 months old!

Sorry to hear about your 'baby'--- hope everything turns out okay. Don't know if the vet did this or not but you would think they would give liquid intravenously to keep it from getting more dehydrated ? They did that with my dog when he had pancreatitis I know. I was so shocked when I read your post--it almost brought me to tears--poor babyI know I will be thinking of you and your puppy alot and just hoping it is going to be all right. GOOD LUCK!!
