There is more going on here than giardia. She needs lab work and possibly imaging immediately. A few things come to mind, all of which need urgent attention.
A fever of 104 sn't severe, but what is causing the fever is.

You can try this while you figure out a way to get to the ER:

01 Fever - VeterinaryPartner.com - a VIN company!

Rubbing alcohol on the paws can also bring a fever down.

My suggestions would be:
Use a bank card and just let it overdraft.
Call every ER around and beg for a payment plan. Ask for a manager. Agree that she stays on the premises until you have paid the bill (including boarding costs).
Try the larger hospitals (local chains) first. They can soetimes allow payments.
Consider a very small vet that may be on call tonight.
they sometimes have realy big hearts.
Pawn your valuables.
Beg a vet to take her home on an IV with them to avoid hospitalization costs.
