Dog's eye watery, blue/gray film. How to get urgent vet help?
Oh no, Lucy's eye looks quite bad from the picture! The eye is such a delicate and important structure that any problem with it should be considered an emergency. That's because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. Lucy has to see a vet now, it cannot wait until next Friday. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do for her at home, but I can give you some resources that may help you afford a vet. You
can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Care Credit online. There is also an organization called Red Rover that give grants for treatment of sick animals, and you can see if you qualify for one of their grants. Best Friends also has a list of resources that offer financial assistance on their website.

God's Creatures Ministry helps pay for veterinarian bills for those who need help.
The Onyx & Breezy Foundation has many programs including helping people with medical bills. They are a good resource for information.
Brown Dog Foundation provides funding to families with a sick pet that would likely respond to treatment, but due to circumstances, there is not enough money immediately available to pay.
IMOM is dedicated to insure that no companion animal has to be euthanized simply because their caretaker is financially challenged.
I hope one of these resources helps you afford a vet for Lucy. Please take her into a vet asap.
