how can i find help for expensive, chronic dog treatments?
My 10 y/o Chihuahua needs insulin twice a day for diabetes and trilostane pills daily for Cushings. Not to mention frequent hospital visits for blood work and monitoring of her conditions; all of which are quickly draining my limited finance. She can’t live without it and I can’t live without her. Insurance is not an option because “pre-existing” condition, and they don’t cover that much anyway.
Does anyone know of any non-profit agencies that offer help in the form of reduced or subsidized funding, free syringes, etc.
My advice to you would be to start writing emails/letters. Write to anyone you can think of in the “Dog World”, vet clinics, SPCA shelters, any rescue shelters, even your congressman may have some info that can help you.
Also try Googling something along the lines of “discounted dog meds, free dog health care” anything like that.
Many times you may be able to buy the medications direct from the distributor and have someone you know that’s a vet tech or even nurse administer them.
