My dog is sick. Where to find free vet care in Denver?

I'm sorry you are in such a difficult situation. Contact your local animal shelter or humane society. Either may be able to direct you to a low cost/no cost clinic. You can also contact Red Rover (www.redrover.org) to secure financial assistance with veterinary bills. The Humane Society of the US may also have information regarding assistance on their website as well. In the meantime, offer Daisy some baby food. You can warm it up to stimulate her appetite. If she eats it, mix in some dog food and some unflavored PediaLyte. Feed her as often as she will allow without vomiting.

I am so sorry you have been through so much lately, and I want you to know you are amazing for getting out of such a difficult situation and starting over. I can't imagine that it was easy at all, and you should be proud of yourself for doing it! As for your dog, I have to say his symptoms are concerning and could be caused by a couple of things. The lethargy, reduced appetite, and pale gums could be due to anemia. Anemia occurs when there is a loss or destruction of a large amount of red blood cells, which can be caused by internal or external bleeding. The excessive shedding could be caused by fleas, mites, or allergies. A heavy flea infestation could also cause anemia. Hesitancy to jump could be caused by hip, joint, or spinal pain. All of these symptoms do require an immediate vet visit, and I can give you a number of resources that hopefully will 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. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962 https://www.redrover.org https://www.carecredit.com http://bestfriends.org/resources/financial-aid-pets http://lessonsfromaparalyzeddog.com/when-pet-owners-cant-afford-veterinary-bills/ 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. I hope one of these resources help you afford a vet visit for your dog!

I'm sorry but it looks like your question got cut off. I'm not sure if I will be actually answering you correctly. If not, please post again with more information and photos of your pet's skin if you would like some product recommendations. Petco offers low cost vaccination, deworming, flea/tick/heartworm prevention, nail clipping, etc. through their weekend VETCO clinics inside their stores. It doesn't appear that there are any close to you though - the closest one is about 40 miles away. If you are willing to drive this may be your least expensive option. They do not charge an exam fee. Tractor Supply also has a similar program. ( https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/clinic-locations-and-schedules/?zip=66095 ) ( https://petvet.vippetcare.com/find-a-clinic/ ) I found this housecall vet in your area. You can certainly contact them to check their pricing: ( http://vetsonwheels.website/mobile-vet-services-in-williamsburg-ks-we-come-to-you-in-kansas.html ) This is a link with resources for people that need help with vet bills. Scroll down as there are some Kansas specific organizations. ( https://www.dogingtonpost.com/need-help-with-vet-bills-or-pet-food-there-are-resources-available/ ) Hope this helps. Best wishes.

I would call your local shelter to see if they can treat her for a lower price. Unfortunately, some will help but others will only treat animals that are up for adoption. If they can't, they may be able to direct you to a clinic that is lower in cost or has a free first exam. You could also talk to your vet about prescribing some antibiotics. I would ask if they are any antibiotics that can be prescribed at a human pharmacy that might be cheaper. I hope this helps!

I am sorry to hear that Dynasty isn’t feeling well. Pet insurance can be helpful, but most people don’t have it. I would encourage you to call your local emergency veterinarian and get prices for an examination and possibly blood work and X-rays. This way you are prepared for about how much it Might cost to find out what may be wrong. Any older unspayed female is a concern for a pyometra, which is a pus filled infected uterus, but certainly there are other possible causes. From there the veterinarian can discuss what they would recommend. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.

Your dog needs to be seen by a veterinarian right away. This jaundice is a strong indicator for liver failure and this can only be treated properly with intensive veterinary intervention. If you are in financial difficulty, there are ways of still getting your pet treated by a veterinarian. Ask if they take Care Credit and apply online. This is a credit card specifically for medical, dental, and veterinary expenses.
