Hi guys. I haven't been here for a long time, and I'm sorry that these are the circumstances under which I'm coming back, but it's christmas time and I have a three month old baby crying and a toddler crying and Gilly crying and I'm crying and i just forked out a buttload of money I don't have to pay for my poor Gilly girl's TPLO and tonight I discovered there's a rat somewhere in my house along with some postpartum related health issues and I'm PANICKING because Gilly is almost three weeks post TPLO surgery and all of a sudden tonight, on Christmas eve eve, she has developed an ear infection that is wet and when I wipe the wetness it has blood tinge to it and it smells bad and I'm so worried about how fast this can spread to her knee and target the hardware. Is this something that can wait until morning? Should I be calling the emergency vet tonight even though I can't even really afford a regular daytime vet visit plus antibiotics? If anyone is awake and online and has any ideas about what I should do (about Gilly...) please tell me!
