Q: Financial help for pet's surgery

Are there any organizations that can help me with the cost of my pet's surgery (removal of stones from bladder)? I am on a very fixed income.

If you are in the US, there are two that I know of. One is http://www.uan.org/lifeline/ and they can actually provide financial aid.

The second is http://www.carecredit.com They don't provide financial aid, but they do no or low cost financing.

If you are near a veterinary college, contact them about possible low or no cost surgery, also.

I hope it works out.

Thanks HedgeMom! I'm in the process of applying online to UAN.org for help and I'll try the other one you suggested when I'm done. Thanks again!!
