I can feel his bones on his spine and shoulder blades. He is seventeen pounds with the water weight but I know he is losing body mass. The vet wants me to wait a week but I can not watch him starve. Today was the first time he could not get down or up the stairs to go potty. I am dealing with multiple medical issues myself including five fractures in my back. I am on a fixed income now and it has taken every cent I had to get him seen four times, get meds, special food and I do not see any improvement. He is getting worse. I just do not know what to do. The vet wants to do an MRI but I do not have two thousand dollars. |
I agree to ask the vet if he can let you pay in installments. Some will, some will not. If the situation gets more dire, he will have to have the procedures done to find out what is wrong with him. Like I said earlier, if it's a life or death situation and you don't have any other options, you may want to contact some rescues. They can take care of the vetting, rather than having him suffer or worse.
