I emailed his vet, my phone Is broken so my only contact through them right this moment Is email and heard nothing back wondered If they done a bill later cause I cannot afford a large fee today. I dont know what to do to help him or If I should Just take him out there or If you know how the billing works. Thank you.

You would need to discuss payment plans with the veterinarian or practice manager. At the same time, you can discuss alternative financing options, such as Care Credit ( www.carecredit.com ). This is a service that allows you to spread out costs into more manageable installments similar to a consumer credit card account.
