I have no bright ideas...unless you find a vet that takes payments; apply for Care Credit for pets.

The last - and I hate to suggest it - is that a shelter or humane society would look after your buddy's medical needs BUT you would have to surrender him.

I hope some options come your way! Prayers for your boy! He needs help fast.

Do you have any of the old food around, or can you get a small bag of it?

Prayers going out.

ETA: You could at least contact these people and see if they know someone who can help you - or MAYBE they can: http://www.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/clubs/mercer/

Also, the vet school there has a small animal department...call them and see if they can help no charge: http://www.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/vmth/s...al/default.cfm
