It is a crime to not do something about a dog that you know is sick and you will be held liable for it if it is not treated. Ive worked as an animal control officer and I have dealth with this sort of thing a few times. Most people do not den thier dog medical care, even if that means turning them over to the animal shelter.
I have a very close friend that lives in Arkansas and being the investigative person that I am and since I haven't talked to her recently I called her today to see if there were no vets in that state that she knew of that are open on saturdays. She told me that almost every (9 out of 10) vets in that state that she knows of, and she has lived all over the state, have emergency lines to call and they will work on a payment arrangement. No vet is going to honestly turn away a dog that is in this serious of a condition. It isn't right. If they did turn the dog away to die as you said that your friend had happened then they are opening themselves up for alot of trouble.
I am hoping by the fact that you haven't been on here at all late this afternoon you are getting this poor dog taken care of. If you aren't then I hope you do. WHy add legal problems to everything else?
