I do hope they are able to afford the specialist but if not it does help knowing you could go a different route if that option is available for you.
Actually I believe Ohio State might be an option to look into as well. They have a lot of vets that specialize in different areas and their prices are way more affordable. Plus they are so great with your pet, they really care.
The pup obviously needs surgery and I hope he gets it but I do understand the financial aspect of it as well.
Yes the pom was lucky in more ways than one. The owners of the shepherd paid for all expenses which rarely happens. |
Ohio State actually might be a great suggestion. Maybe they have a payment plan.
ALSO......they might have a fund for students. You never know!
I know that Texas A&M has a fund for college students...your post reminded me of that. When I was there I met a gal whose pup was operated on at a very reduced rate because she was a college student. Definitely something for the OP to look into.
Another thing....Texas A&M requires 50% down and makes a monthly payment (usually over six months I believe) plan with the rest of the bill.
I am SO glad you mentioned Ohio State....hope the OP see this! Definitely worth looking in to!
