Alright, so here I was an hour or so ago going to the toilet...and I hear this panting sound. I go downstairs to find my dog shaking and peeing herself. I attempted to pick her up (she was a fully grown blue heeler) and put her in the shade. Once I got her in there I ran to the phone to ring my mum (who was out at the time) and I told her what was happening.

So I run out to my dog, who was now violently shaking, frothing at the mouth and vomiting up blood. I panicked...I started yelling (I mean yelling, you could hear me from 3 blocks away) stuff like "I need help, my dog is dying!!!". Trust me, I sounded as distressed as hell. I shouted for about 5 minutes...and no one came. When I attempted to get the froth out of her mouth a man came into the backyard and helped me out and soon after my mum came home.

So now my dog is fine, but I am ****ing pissed. They were all home, I was yelling so loud and yet no one came. Imagine if it was my sister was having some sort of fit and I needed help.

**** em all
 
Its prolly because they thought: "Oh, someone else will help him"
 
I though your neighbors gave her antifreeze or something.
 
What was wrong with the dog? I presume it was poisoning of some kind?
 
They probaby thought you were playing a game or something...

or the "I don't give a shit" attitude hit.
 
*Posts on halflife2.net......* *Hears indistinct screaming* *Turns up music*
 
You obviously took the dog to the vet, what did the vet say was wrong?

At first, judging by the thread title, I thought you meant the neighbours had done something to your dog.
 
Christ that would be scary...

At least one person came to help? I wouldn't really hate my neighboors for not responding within one or two minutes, but 5...yea I'd be a bit pissed.

So what was wrong with the doggeh?
 
It was a severe case of heatstroke. The fact that she was an old dog meant that it took a greater toll on her.
 
Leave bowls of antifreeze in the yards of all your neighbors that have pets.

Dude, that shit isn't funny AT ALL.

I had an outside cat in my care die, because it got into some antifreeze in a neighbors yard. It was suck a ****ing awesome cat too... and he spent the last days of his life in a state of dizzying confusion, and I didn't know what was wrong with him until it was too late. The poor cat, after I spent many days trying to fend off the raccoons from bullying it for its food.
 
I don't get it. You were yelling from your yard? Call me weird but no one here probably would have done anything either. It would've been smart to actually go knock on their door, but yelling from your own is like yeah.. odd, especially about a dog. May be really important to you but it's just an animal to everyone else. If someone was screaming "MY CAT NEEDS HELP ITS DYING" I wouldnt come out of my house either, to be honest.
 
If a neighbor were to look out a window looking over to your yard, would they be able to see you with the dog? Or is your house more secluded? If they can see you and if they heard you yelling like that, they would most likely look out the window and see whats going on. So if they look out and see your dog coughing out blood and didn't do anything, then there pricks.
 
You're lucky your neighbours did come just because they heard you shouting. A lot of people wouldn't. You could have been doing anything, like acting for a film or messing about with your friends or anything. If you wanted help quickly you should have gone up to somebody and asked for it, even if it meant leaving your dog for a few seconds.
 
neighbors propably didn't hear you, but I could be wrong. You could kill them :thumbs:
 
if it's hot enough for your dog to get heatstroke he should not be outside ..heatstroke can kill in minutes. DO NOT leave your dog out again when it's that hot ..even with water/shade they can still suffer heatstroke
 
also, shaving does not help.


but my sources are fourty years old.
 
i assume the neighbors must've been occupied with much more important tasks

*neighbor:hears something,grunts,drops a turd and continues reading the paper on his toilet
 
I heard somewhere that people are most likely to come if you shout "FIRE!" instead of "HELP!"

Also, what did you expect them to do that you couldn't? You should've phoned some vet or something.
 
Hot enough to get heatstroke? You don't live in Northern Territory do you Darksabre?
