Today we got a heartbreaking email from someone who cannot afford the amputation surgery costs for her beloved 5 year old Rottie.
I have him booked in to be put down on Friday so he does not suffer any more pain. I do not have the finances to cut his leg off.
Is there places I can find that might help me financially before I have to put Toby down? What would the cost of this be? What are the long term costs?
First of all, does anyone out there have any ideas for our parent? If you do, please post them here ASAP.
My Mom told this parent to check with a local vet teaching hospital. One other thing she wanted to mention was that if a parent can’t afford to have it done by a qualified vet, please consider not doing it at all. That hurts me to say it, but the costs of post surgery complications may be astronomical if a vet doesn’t have experience.
