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.
Foster needed, Louisville, KY, urgent
-
I have a 10 year old red and white female basenji purebred that needs a foster or forever home. I am placing her due to a severe allergy that has caused serious health concerns and a few trips to the hospital due to asthma attacks. She is spayed and house broken, she gets along with most male dogs including her saint bernard friend, but finds most females distasteful. She is sweet and and affectionate, very clean and quiet and sleeps most of the day, but gets really spicy occasionally and plays. She is healthy and enjoys sun basking and going on walks. For more info please contact Linda Webb- Hilliard from BRAT http://www.basenjirescue.org/ She has all the info and pics of this girl and is currently helping me find Buzz a foster home. Thank you
