my heart breaks for you and your little puppy. Have you taken her to a different vet for a second opinion? You do not live that far away from me , and I know of a vet that is in Hanford who is certified, before doing any procedures that could be costly they do a breakdown of expenses, This is a amazing vet hospital.
Anther suggestion that crossed my mind is that you are disabled, if you could claim her as a service dog or one in training that has a specfic need to assist you with your disabling conditions you might be able to get more help from the vet hospital, and work on a financial plan . I have no idea if you got this pup to train as a service dog, and don't want you to do this if it was not your intention .
I am also fully disabled so is my son, we have our 2 dogs as sevice animals which was planned way ahead of time, before getting one. I also have a savings account that could be used for emergency care if one of them were to become deathy ill. Before having the account I had to go to a couple check cashing places to borrow money against myself when Suzi became ill. That was the same time I ran off the road on the way to the vet, and my car was out of commission , that was a very bad day. Somehow we pulled through and Suzi got her meds was observed for the rest of the day and came home.
When it comes down to it , I think you have a few options. Surrending her to a rescue, scramble for the funds, or return her to the breeder. I also know when times have been tough we have sold things. For me, I would actually sell my car to get the money. But that would be me. What are the chances of her survival? Is she strong enough to have the surgery?
