my vet doesnt do chemo so they sent me to a specialist and they only do care credit not payment plans, and i was denied for care credit
Do you have someone who would be willing to help you out, your Mom or Dad? I don't think I would be approved for CareCredit either because I have a ton of student loans on my report, even though they are defereed until I graduate, they are still there and go against my debt to income ratio. But I would find someone who would help me out if I were in the same situation, I realize not everyone has enough money saved up.
I would imagine the vets aren't willing to help you out because you are so young, what they don't realize is just because we are young doesn't mean we don't love our pets.
JUst remeber, you not only have to look at the money situation but I think more importantly, you need to see how all of this will affect Buttons. How will her quality of life be? There are a lot of unknowns but your gut should tell what to do.
When we had to help my sweet Tossie to The Bridge, we had the option of doing a surgery and maybe having her here with us longer. She had a mass on her spleen that we didn't know about until it ruptured, she was bleeding internally she was so weak she couldn't barely hold her head up. The vet said he could go in and try to fix the problem but he didn't think she would make it off the table because of all the blood she lost. He told me the cost which I didn't have the money for at the time but that was the furthest thing from my mind at that point. Then he said that the mass would grow back in a couple of weeks and we would be in the same situation. There was no way I could put my baby through that just for a couple of weeks so we opted to help her to The Bridge. It was the hardest, saddest day of my life but I know that I didn't put her through any uneccessary pain or prolong her suffering for me. I would do anything to see her again and just hold her but I can't, so I remember the good times and think about how good her life was and what joy she brought to me. She was there through all the custody battles between my parents, she was there through it all, and I will never ever forget her, a piece of me died that day but that is what happens.
I am so sorry you are going through this, and I wish I could grant you the strength and wisdom to do what is the best for Buttons. You are going to have to go with your gut and do what you feel is right. If you feel she can get through this with a good quality of life, by all means, go out and beg for money if that is what it takes.
