Dog needs emergency surgery. How to afford vet care and manage pain?

Question

Long story short. My dog has a pernieal hernia and needs surgery ASAP. His bowls are blocked and his urinary tract is out of place. I am working on getting the $3000-$5000 that is needed to cover the cost of surgery. In the mean time would I take him in to another clinic or ER so he can relieve himself via cath and also see if they can give him something for pain?

Yes, do that. I can also give you some financial resources that may help. 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/
