if he/she can wait i'll be in orlando on March 3,4,5, I could just jerry rig the surgery there if you want. j/k mail it to me, thats fine, then it won't have to wait. but I should let you know I am not a surgeon, just a surgery technician, but i have watched plenty of amputations so I think I have it pretty much under control. It is the rear right leg right?

Front right, like in my technical drawing.

i know, i was continuing the humor from me not being a surgeon, like "it was the right rear leg?" but it wasn't "whoops"
 
Update: I am talking to the vet (I have to call him back soon) but I am hovering around the $1500 mark (due to a $500 donation from my mom). This is, seriously, all the money I have in the world and if it's past $1500 I have to put him down.

This is ******* terrible. I am still remaining positive and trying to pull through for the little guy, but I only have so much to spend. If I go past this I can't afford the gas to go to school, let alone anything else.
 
AHHHH **** man! you have to hit the soft spot? Dam, maybe we can paypal donations or something....

It's too late for PayPal, I have got to make this happen tonight.

I am trying to see if I can work out a deal with the vet, I call him in 5 minutes.
 
I got off the phone and the vet says he can't give me an estimate on price untill tomorrow because they postponed the surgery till then.

******* hell. I can't take much more of this.
 
a respectable vet would allow you to set up a payment plan. Seriously tho, if it means life or death for the little guy my wife & I would definatley be able to send you a little help

yeah, not to bash the vet your going to, but the clinic I work for always work out a deal with people that are really trying to do the right thing but are short on cash. Its funny how the people that cant afford it are always trying to go way beyond their limits to help save their pets and the people with more than enough money just dont care and usually take the cheapest route out of it. not saying they all do it, but I see it all the time.
 
our vet did it for us. When we got our Basenji (pic in avatar) 2 years ago we got him from a lady out in the styx & he was sick. When we met him he was coughing & very lathargic but she played it off as being nervous. My wife & I knew something was up so we took him in fear of what would happen. Well he had kennel cough so bad it had developed into pneumonia & he was on his way to being dead if he didnt get help. Our vet was so awesome & worked w/ us becasue we didnt have alot of money at the time. He gave us free meds & looked for the cheapest way to get things done. Needless to say we spent double what we paid for him on med bills alone but he is a healthy & annoying boy today & I wouldnt have it any other way.

Talk to your vet, if he is a prick, you know you need a new vet

Wow, i must be pretty mean. If one of my dogs got sick and i couldn't afford it, id let him go. Well, not the one i raised from 6 weeks old, but the shelter dog i just got....man....this is tough to think about.
 
When my cat broke his leg it came to 1700 and the vet told us "we do the surgery this week or put him down". We applied for thier payment plan and were denied, we had just bought our house so money and credit wasn't something we had much of. We ended up using all of our savings and splitting the rest over two credit cards. I have been where you are, and it sucks. I would like to make a donation to help.

****** up that a vet won't help....capitalism at its finest....
 
So I went to the bank and pulled out $480 cash for the downpayment. He's going under the knife right now, the total is $9something with everything included. The vet said he's not going to go past that no matter what.

So I guess everything worked out in the end. I got it all in savings, but I guess this counts out my FMIC or turbo-back, eh?

Easy come, easy go.
 
Im glad it worked out good then :D
