My dog was attacked and bites. How to get her vet care when broke?

Question

Our 15 year old was attacked by a pit bull this morning. She has a bite on the side of her neck. The problem is, we can't get near her because she will bite us. Our dog bites if you try to do any medical procedure on her. We have medications to calm her down, but, she won't eat right now. We had a $700 vet bill last month, and we are flat broke right now and can't afford $700 to sedate her. What can we do to get her to the vet? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | spayed | 16 years and 7 months old | 80 lbs

I would recommend contacting a mobile veterinarian and see if they can come out to your house and work on her there. If she is too difficult to handle, you may need a veterinarian and technicians to safely grab her using restraining techniques / drugs to be able to get her the treatment she needs. You can even feed her treats with sedatives in them to get her. I would see if the mobile veterinarian can come out to start with. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
