Stop veterinarians from turning away animal emergencies if unable to make payment up front

The issue is it's a felony to neglect an animal but if your animal is fatally sick or injured it should be illegal for veterinarians to turn away an animal if the owner can't make payment. My friend's yorkie was vomiting blood the tongue was blue and every Vet hospital in winona, mn turned her away because she was unable to pay until she got paid when she got paid 6 days later. I offered to pay her bill but the vet said I wasn't the owner.

My goal: I make it also illegal for veterinarians to turn away fatally sick or injured animals. Because the owner isn't able to make a payment on day of treatment

Update #17 years ago
Well folkes the dog ended up dieing even after a wonderful vet in a near by town had the compassion to help this animal not worried about cash first. The dog was diagnosed with panciatitic which is fatal if not caught in its early stages. By the way the vet was paid the said Friday Friday the client got her payroll from her employer. Please help this type of ignorance from happening to any other suffering animal it's straight up cruelty by animal care givers. PLEASE HELP.
