Manda B. asked:I know this is a long shot...my mother has an 8 year old pitbull. She has been previously diagnosed with a staph infection in the past but the meds did not work and she is getting worse. She has lost most of her fur and has big open sores on her back side paws and a large one on her neck now. My mom cant afford a vet visit right now because she just had major neck surgery and is still out of work . i cant afford to help her because i am a single mom with a special needs child. Is there anybody knows of a vet would be willing to help and look at my moms baby at very little or no cost?Liesa C. replied:http://thepetfund.com/

Lady C. asked:Friends, **URGENT** Lady desperately needs $4,300 to get the mri. We were planning on bringing her home tomorrow but she showed signs tonight that something is wrong and we need to figure it out. Taking her home without knowing, with her so scared, isn't fair to her. The symptoms she is showing are concerning, our happy girl who's tail almost never stops wagging, now tucks her tail, her ears go back, her eyes get wide and she licks her lips alot... She is telling us something is wrong. She doesn't do this all the time, but she has done it at least once a day that we have been visiting her. If anyone knows where we can get a loan, or if anyone can loan or help with even part of it we would be forever grateful... Our options are limited and our first and only concern is Lady. We can't continue to let her suffer like this.Brandi C. replied:Lady Cherie. I came across a list of groups that will help with pets medical issues. I can't seem to attach the list so I will type it Bigheartedfund.com Frankiesfriends.com IMOM.com Themosbyfoundation.com Onyxandbreezyfoundation.com Thepetfund.com Petsdc.com Shakespeareanimalfund.com Hope one of these can help.

Donna H. asked:URGENT! I am desperate! We rescued this baby a year ago. I have an American Bulldog who has a hematoma (blood pocket) in her right ear. The surgery is not cheap....over $1000 according to my personal vet...and i will have the funds for it on Wednesday. Surgery is scheduled for Thursday morning. The ear keeps swelling and even with her cone and anti-inflammatories and pain meds... she is miserable and I'm afraid the ear will rupture. It is draining blood. Not alot..but ......Does anyone have a vet who will do the surgery and allow me to delay total payment until Thursday? I hate asking this!!!!!! But I am worried sick!! Private message me please if you know someone who can help. Thank you all so much....Michelle S. replied:Get help with vet and pet bills. Find resources, many of which are free, to get help with pet bills, including how to get grants and other assistance from the American Animal Hospital Association Helping Pets Fund. As most pet owners will eventually be faced with expensive, unexpected veterinary bills. It is great that veterinary medicine has advanced to a very modern state. It gives caregivers new, and many times more expensive options for the care of their ailing pets. While the cost of veterinary care is very reasonable when you compare it with the much higher cost of human health care, an unexpected medical emergency or bill for your pet may very well present a major financial dilemma for an unprepared pet owner. Pet owners have several options to get help with paying their vet bills. If you have a specific type or breed of dog, you can contact the National Club for that breed. In some cases, these clubs offer a veterinary financial assistance fund that you can use to help pay your vet bills. Additionally, the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) has a list of breed-specific assistance groups. Call 202-452-1100. An owner can purchase a pet health insurance policy. Pet insurance is very much like insurance for humans. It protects pets against illnesses and accidents. Some companies cover routine/wellness care as well as burial. Some pet insurance policies will also pay out if the pet dies. You can save 5-10% (or more) on medications and pet supplies by doing your shopping at online cash rebate sites. More. You need to ask your veterinarian if she or he will provide you with a payment plan. Many veterinarians are willing to work out a monthly or weekly payment plan to help you with paying your vet bills. These plans will give you the option of not having to pay the entire cost of your veterinary bill up front. Contact your local animal shelter. Some animal shelters will operate or know of veterinary assistance programs or local subsidized veterinary clinics. Your local yellow pages can help you find the name and number of the local shelter. It will typically be listed under "animal control," "animal shelter" or "humane society". Or you can always call Information. The HSUS can provide additional help in the form of a list of organizations that provide assistance to ill, disabled, or senior pet owners. You can ask your veterinarian to complete and submit an assistance request to the American Animal Hospital Association's (AAHA) "Helping Pets Fund." In order to qualify for this fund, which can help with paying your pet bills, your animal hospital must be AAHA accredited. You can learn more about the program by visiting the AAHA web site or call 800-883-6301. If you acquired your pet from a reputable breeder, you need to check your contract to see if there is a health guarantee that covers your pet's needs or sickness. Check with any veterinary schools in your area. Some schools offer discount services, or even free services, to the public. You can get a list of veterinary schools in the Education section of the American Veterinary Medical Association's (AVMA) website. Below is a list of organizations that can help provide financial assistance to any pet owners who are in need. Be sure to keep in mind that each of these organizations is independent in nature and they have their own set of guidelines and rules. Therefore you will need to investigate each one separately to determine if you qualify for assistance with your vet bills. Help-A-Pet, 630-986-9504 IMOM Inc., The Pet Fund, (916) 443-6007 Good Sam Fund, United Animal Nations LifeLine Fund (916) 429-2457 Feline Outreach, general@felineoutreach.org Angels for Animals, 330-549-1111 Brown Dog Foundation, Feline Veterinary Emergency Assistance Program, fveap@earthlink.net Canine Cancer Awareness Cats In Crisis info@catsincrisis.org The Perseus Foundation (Cancer specific), 866-990-9777 Orthodogs' Silver Lining Foundation (Orthopedic Cases and Service Dogs), Cody's Club (Radiation treatments) Diabetic Pets Fund The Mosby Foundation Also, you need to remember that, depending on the extent of your pet's injury or illness, you could still lose your pet even after paying extensive bills and great expense. Discuss the treatment and prognosis options thoroughly with your vet. Sadly, there are even times in which treatment or surgery would just cause your pet discomfort without preserving a life of good quality. The following are more general tips that can help with your vet bills, if none of the options above meet you needs. You can use your credit card, and ask for a higher credit limit or a cash advance. Feel free to call your bank. Ask about any options or programs they may have that can help, or ask for loan programs. Approach your employer for a salary advance. Alert friends and family and ask them each for a small loan, say $25 loan.

Tara L. asked:For my animal loving folks: advice needed. A close friends dog, named Abbey, a dachshund, has fallen and is partially paralyzed (3 herniated discs). Cannot walk. Family is heartbroken. A basic veterinarian told them if surgery not done by today for $5,000.00 , there could be no hope due to swelling issues. Family didn't have the full amount for surgery. Specialist (and prayers) now needed. Any suggestions? Surgical specialists who are worth consulting with? Anyone else with paralysis experience ?Janine F. replied:http://www.thepetfund.com Similar to this

Rita B. asked:Hey rescue folks, a good friend of mine has a nine year old boxer that needs to have both acl's repaired. He took him to Hampden Family Pet and the estimate was $6,000.00 and they were not sure it would end there. He loves his dog very much but that figure is just a little out of reach for him, do any of you know of any other quality vets that may not be as expensive and specialize in this type of surgery? Please let me know if you do, thanks so much.Beverly L. replied:The following is a list of organizations that provide financial assistance to pet owners in need.

Mojave I. asked:Does anyone know of a low cost/income based clinic in the La Puente/Diamond Bar/Monterey Park area? I've got an email from someone who is unemployed and has a dog that really needs to be examined ASAP. Please post any and all leads here. Thanks!!!Beth B. replied:Hey Annie-I posted more than this, but I don't see them...probably my excellent computer skills that rate below a kindergartener! The main website is www.thepetfund.com and you can find Actors and others, Banfield Charity, PAWS LA, Red Rover etc...lots of work to call all these, but may be worth it if this person can find a vet to accept the funding.
