So, I just want to add, we are broke. Like, extremely. I'm not even sure we'd be able to afford something like $200. Which, in surgery, is cheap, I know. Is there any other possible way we can get him some help?

Hillside does care credit. It's basically a loan with a 3rd party. You can always call them and ask if they have any programs for low income situations. Sometimes there are hardship grants and foundations that can help. There are very few vets who allow in-clinic payment arrangements anymore. It's too hard to keep up with and enforce payments and Care Credit does everything for them.

What kind of surgery are you needing.
