I don't know anything about this vet, but will he not work with you on payment? Many vets will treat dogs in urgent need on a payment plan or for a discounted rate. The vet does have some money upfront. Perhaps you could work out some sort of payment schedule for the balance or put part of the bill on a credit card, so the surgery can be done? If not, maybe another vet could be more flexible. Leaving the dog at the facility on IVs seems like it might make the bill larger and prolong the dog's discomfort or pain. You're in a hard spot, and I wish both you and your poor dog the best.
OH-Dayton-8 Year Old Neutered Red & White Male PB-Needs New Home
-
If anyone is interested in an 8 year old neutered red & white male, please contact me at dcmclcm4@yahoo.com and give me a little bit of information about yourself, where you live, and what dogs you currently own and I will pass on the information. He was turned into a shelter in northern OH due to the owner's health problems. When the shelter looked at his paperwork, the breeder was contacted and she went up to get him. I met him a couple of weeks ago and he is a sweet boy but was overfed and is in the process of losing weight. He is presently living with a grouchy/growly female B and he gets along with her. He is not living at my house so I do not know if he gets along with males. If I was not having health problems, I would take him since I like the older ones.
Preference will be given to people living within a day drive of Dayton, OH.
Thanks,
Jennifer

It states that he is 9 years old but I was told he was 8 earlier today. I will have to verify his age. He is down to 37 lbs. so he has lost 5 lbs. within a month.

Good for the breeder for going to get him. It's always a proud moment to hear the right thing being done. Pass on kudos to her and I hope Max finds a great home. Sorry to hear about your health, take care
