My dog's mastitis busted after puppies, can't afford vet. Help?

Mastitis is fatal without treatment, and it's extremely serious that her skin is starting to come off. This is a medical emergency, and Bella has to see a vet now. I would see if you can borrow money from family and friends to afford the vet, and I can give you some resources that may help you afford one. 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/ http://www.dogheirs.com/resources-affordable-veterinary-care/ 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 cannot stress enough how badly she needs a vet immediately. You have to take her into one now. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. I hope one of my resources helps you!

No spaying won't cure the mastitis. Mastitis is an infection of the mammary glands, and it can be fatal without treatment. You are so lovely for feeding these puppies, and I hope you find them homes. You need to see if there is a vet who will treat her mastitis now. See if the rescue group can help you find a vet. Best of luck.

It could be that Nova is suffering from mastitis, which is an infection of the mammary glands. This would be painful to her and would cause her to be lethargic. Unfortunately there are no OTC pain medications you can give her, as many human ones are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. She needs to see a vet immediately. Mastitis is fatal without treatment, and if she is in a lot of pain, she needs veterinary care right away. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Good luck, I hope this helps!

If she is not spayed the number one reason for swollen teats is mammary (breast) cancer. If she recently had puppies then it could be severe mastitis. Either way this is serious. Your vet cannot drain these. I have no idea what they would possibly be referring to. If this is cancer, they have to be surgically removed. Sometimes the cancer is benign. Sometimes it is malignant and will spread to other organs (mainly the lungs). Regardless, the only way to potentially cure this is surgery.

( https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/mastitis-in-dogs ) Please go back to your vet to discuss this or get a second opinion from another vet. This can be fatal.

This looks like mastitis which is a breast infection. Please take her in right away for treatment as this can become a very serious and painful problem. They will give her antibiotics and may need to do additional medications to reduce the swelling and inflammation. This can become life threatening is not treated quickly. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Chance.

Mya could have mastitis, that would cause her mammary glands to be hot to the touch and hard. Mastitis is fatal without treatment, so she needs to see a vet now. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.

Poor Sookie! If she has mastitis then she will need an oral antibiotic to treat. You can not purchase one without a prescription from a vet who does an examination. You could soak the area in a warm Epsom salt solution and have her examined by a vet as soon as possible. You could try to find an emergency clinic and have her seen tonight, especially if the lethargy becomes worse. Hope she feels better soon!
