with today's economy being the way it is more and more pet owner's are finding it hard to even get help for their pet's when they are in need of it. I find it very disturbing for someone who has the training to help animal's yet put's money before treatment . after all no one know's when emergency will occour and most of the time it happen's when there is no up front money to take care of it, and let's face it if your pet need's emergency treatment it's not gonna wait till your check get's in to take care of it. but most veteranary clinic don't care if your pet is dying they will not give treatment unless you can pay for it right there on the spot. this is animal abuse also. after all animal's have feeling's and can't help the fact that their owner may not have the money at time in which it is in need of help! PLEASE HELP STOP VET'S FROM TURNING AWAY A SICK PET. this is my dog Tadpole she recentley had injury to her hip we are using a lift harness. I am at this time laid off NO vet will see her not even my current vet who I have been with now for 7 yrs. they have no payment plan or anything it's cash and cash only if you can't pay in full at time of service's you recieve no treatment . can you look in her eye's and tell her that's fair to her. to only be able to walk with my assistance
