Oh, no! Discharges, head hanging, no interest in food or water are all bad signs!
She can't talk, but if she could she would be begging for Help!
Many vets will let you set up monthly payments if you know them, or if they don't know you they can at least check your credit rating to see if you make bill payments on time, and then set up a payment fee you can handle.
You can also "charge" your pup's treatment on your own credit card at most vet's hospitals--call ahead of time & ask what cards the vet accepts!
Taffy had a Badly broken leg when he was a year old. Our vet tried a cast, but when she x-rayed after one week, the two broken bones were out of position!
I followed her advice and let her call the Veterinary Specialists in Charlottesville, Va. She got the veterinary surgeon to come down in price $500.00 because I had already tried to get help from her hospital and had paid her bill; I had not expected that kind intervention by her, but it was very much appreciated!
Now, I had to have Taffy at that surgeon's office the Very Next Morning as the surgeon said his bones might never "knit" together if they were not quickly realigned. Taffy now has permanent screws and plates in his front leg, but you would never know it to watch him tearing through our house today. I drove for almost two hours to get to that specialist, and I put it all on my credit card! (Oh well, at least I got back my own reward card points back for that $2,000.00 surgery!) They also had a very reasonable "payment plan system" right at their hospital which owners could setup through GM Pet Care Card for owners who needed a credit card for vet bills! This hospital handled really difficult cases -- the injured Va. Police dogs were sent there, I found out later. Two top qualified surgeons!
So, go to a vet NOW, and they can get your little girl treated, and you can make time payments if they have this. Our vet said some owners don't come because they "hate the idea of paying the vet bill", but many vets will try to work with their clients on payment options.
