YOU? What bothers ME is that I've never read any articles where veterinarians have donated services non gratis for such animals but are more than willing to treat the animal as long the host of volunteers collect the required $2,500.......
Ask your vet if he/she has ever participated in a program where they volunteer their services one day a month to administer aid to animals of owners who can't afford the vet bills...........
In the human medical profession, it's called a "hippie clinic".......
They donate service the Westlake Animal Control...but I guess you missed that part.
