My pet has rice worms, dewormer failed. How can I afford vet?

Question

She has worms. They are small and white, they look like rice. Problem is because of my limited income i can't afford to take her to a vet. I have been giving her ProSense Dewormer but it isn't helping. What can i do besides taking her to the vet? Please help, Pet's info: Cat | Siamese | Female | spayed | 1 year and 1 month old | 7 lbs

If the worms look like rice, then Puddin has tapeworms. That requires praziquantel to treat, and that is prescription only from the vet. In this case, she has to see a vet. 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. 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/ http://www.dogheirs.com/resources-affordable-veterinary-care/ Check out these resources to see if one can help you. Best of luck.
