I'm not slamming you, b/c of course, people SHOULDN't get pets they can't afford. But sometimes you don't have any idea what you're getting into. I would NEVER have known about ANY type of health problems dogs could get until I got one. I had no reason really to research it, and getting my Yorkie was not exactly an impulsive act, but certainly not researched before hand. Sometimes you just go with your heart and don't realize what MIGHT happen. If everybody researched extensively any animal they chose to adopt or bring into their lives, there would be a lot more homeless pets out there.
To the OP, I'm sorry for your problems. I wish I could help you but I can't. If I were in your position though, I'd either take the test results and find a vet who would work with you on a payment plan, or maybe borrow money from family or friends...if you're working full time, you could pay them back in a timely manner. I really hope you find the help you need for your little one. Good luck and please let us know how things work out.
