I'm sorry Hailey Rae having a node on her nipple! Unfortunately there isn't anything you can give her OTC that will help with this node, but I can give you a number of resources that may help you afford the surgery sooner. You can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Care Credit online. There is also an organization called Red Rover that give grants for treatment of sick animals, and you can see if you qualify for one of their grants. Best Friends also has a list of resources that offer financial assistance on their website. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962 https://www.redrover.org https://www.carecredit.com http://bestfriends.org/resources/financial-aid-pets http://lessonsfromaparalyzeddog.com/when-pet-owners-cant-afford-veterinary-bills/ God's Creatures Ministry helps pay for veterinarian bills for those who need help. The Onyx & Breezy Foundation has many programs including helping people with medical bills. They are a good resource for information. Brown Dog Foundation provides funding to families with a sick pet that would likely respond to treatment, but due to circumstances, there is not enough money immediately available to pay. IMOM is dedicated to insure that no companion animal has to be euthanized simply because their caretaker is financially challenged. Good on you for working to raise this money for Hailey Rae, it's awesome pet ownership! I hope one or more of my resources helps you afford the surgery sooner :-)

Patience could have a mammary tumor causing the swelling and bleeding to her nipple, she could have sustained trauma to it, or if she had puppies recently, she could have mastitis (an infection of the mammary glands). You are correct that she needs to see a vet as soon as possible. If paying for a vet is an issue, you can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Care Credit online.

I see that Button isn't spayed, and I'm concerned that this swelling is caused by mammary tumors, which can be common in unspayed females. This is something that is better checked out sooner rather than later, as 50% of mammary tumors are malignant. I would see if you can borrow money from family and friends to afford the vet now, and I can give you some resources that may help.

I see that Rosy isn't spayed, and my first concern is that she may have a pyometra. This is an infection of the uterus that is fatal without treatment. It's also very concerning there may be blood in her vomit, and this is a medical emergency.

Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck.
