    For sure there has to be a Vet that will take payments.. I cant even think a Vet would think you could dish out $1,000.00 to 2,000.00 in a lump summ.. Now can you go back to the first Vet??

    Just 2 of many reasons many vets, particularly specialist or ER vets don't take payments.

    I've seen these things firsthand at work even from the old lady who cried like a baby and swore on her childrend's lives (no joke that's what she said) that she'd make the payments. Oh she did, in the end only ended up paying for less than half and had to be turned over to collections. The hospital got stiffed over $500 in that one alone. Guess who makes up the difference in lost income? The regular paying client in higher fees.

    A separate credit card just for the pets, and/or a savings acct you put in a set amount each week for emergencies is a very good idea in case of emergencies.

    Google Care Credit - they have a good loan plan for pets. No interest if paid back in the first 3 months.

    And get a second opinion too!
