Animal Abuse Allegations (2)

By September 2019, viewers noticed that Twinkie's nails were still long and ungroomed. On Vlogmas day 9 (December 2019), Amberlynn expressed concern for Twinkies health, as Twinkie was struggling to walk and jump on the bed. Amberlynn also said that Twinkie was shaking in pain during the day. Amberlynn then went to Walmart before going out to eat at Chili's with Becky, Destiny, and Dana. Amberlynn claimed that there were no emergency vets in her area. However, viewers noted that there was a 24 hour vet's office with a vet designed specifically for walk-ins less than 20 minutes from where Amberlynn went out to eat. This resulted in people calling animal control on Amberlynn. Amberlynn did not take Twinkie to a vet, but rather gave her Asprin and said that Twinkie felt better the next day.
