To all my Dog Loving Friends, I could REALLY use your help!
A couple weeks ago we took our boy to the vet because of a rather large lump on front leg. While swelling around the area has gone down and the infection in his paw has cleared up, the lump is still there and he's still limping. Cancer has been ruled out which is good, but it looks as if he has dislocated it.
We have a great vet at VCA Venice, BUT, we know we need X-rays and simply cannot afford it. They quoted us over $400 just for the visit and a few X-rays, that doesn't even count a cytology exam which brings the total close to $800. Nor does it include any medication or cost for additional services which we know we'll be incurring.
We've already applied for Care Credit and that's a no go... So my question is, does anyone know of a low cost vet who can take payment plans and/or an organization that helps people who simply cannot afford this kind of out of pocket expense? We're TOTALLY willing to pay, just simply can't pay it all up front.
He's in quite a bit of pain and it breaks my heart to see him like this... we're willing to go almost anywhere within reason in So Cal (we live in Hollywood). ANY help or suggestions anyone could offer, we'd be so grateful for!!
