Need some help with info for my dog.

[Na306StAnG]

My Puppy snick has a really bad tooth infection and it has turned in to a abscessed (SP) tooth.

We have no medical insurance for her and she is getting worse day by day. I can not bare to watch her any longer in the pain i'm putting her through and really am not sure what to do. We took her to the doctor today and spent $128 just for them to tell us it will cost 1200 for the surgery.

Does anyone know of any Hospitals that maybe a little cheaper, or anything? Maybe someone knows a hospital that will do a payment plan we will even pay extra. What about the ASPCA can they do anything for me? Its so late and i feel so helpless for her.

This is her.



If you look under "her" left eye you can see its swollen. If any one has any ideas it would be a big help, I can't even think right now but to post this on a couple sites i visit.

Thanks in advance

Shaun

Check with Chris Poulin on Badrap. His wife is a Vet and he is a car guy. Tell him DrDirt sent you and I'll give him the '69 instrument cluster if he can help you out.

Sunshine animal hospital will work with you. My old doggie had a bad case of bladder stones and it was actually killing her - poor girl was in bad shape. I didn't have the money to pay all at once; I must've called 20 vets and nobody would work with me. Sunshine animal hospital let me write them a bunch of post dated checks for each month. And rather than ever let them cash the check, I came in every month and paid cash for that month's payment. Those people really love their work and love animals - if you need somewhere to take your dog, reguardless of if you need to try and work something out or not, take it there.

After searching badrap i found a post he made talking about the new hospital they opened around Nov. of last year.

Timberlane Pet Hospital And Resort


So i called and explained my story and she told me they don't do payments and best bet would be to give the dog away and have the ASPCA take care of her.

WTF?!



I'm sorry man, thats really shitty of them not to take payments anymore. You could try throwing the post-dated checks idea at a few of the peopel you call. I know when I called around that seemed to make people say, "Hmm, let me go ask the doctor."

It probably also helped that I was in absolute tears, crying like a little girl. I know hwo it is when everywhere says no, man. Just call every damn vet up until you've called every vet in the St. Pete/Tampa Bay area.

Every place i call wants me to bring her in and charge me to look at her. i don't have time for this bullshit i just wish these fucking places didn't play these bullshit fucked up games.

Thanks again bro i just need to keep trying. oh and by the way i think i called every place yesterday. It was last night that i gave up and posted this.
