sorry i wasn't able to send more, but sent you some! also, you can try to request that they bill you for all services, which would allow them to charge you later for services rendered now. $85 might just be the exam fee, but it can be billed instead of charged immediately. let them know your situation. if you explain the situation, most vets will want to help the animals!

XANDRA - thank you SO much! I’m taking her to the emergency vet. They require exam fee to be seen, everything else can be billed. I appreciate the thoughtful reply and boost to get on the exam room infinitely!

Just met the $85 mark thanks to a few fellow Neocitizens and a coworker - THANK YOU!!!! <3

i agree with xandra! ask them to bill you out or if they offer any kind of payment plans! if you explain your struggle, most offices nowadays are more willing to help.

also keep us updated on the pup! 🥰

Thanks guys! She goes in early early tomorrow morning, based on what I told the vet they don't think it's an immediate need but a sooner-than-later need. As of right now, based on my conversation with the emergency vet (who is my usual family vet but at a different location for the time being, lucky me), she thinks it's either a sprain, pulled muscle/tendon, or issue with her nails or quick in the nails.

Based on everything my vet told me and what I'm able to see, it appears most likely to be an issue with one of her rea toe nails and the quick in it. Everything adds up. If that's it, rest and pain meds is all that should be needed. Fingers crossed!
