    And no. No guarantee directly stated
    The price of the animal is irrelevant when it comes to whether or not the animal should be taken to a vet, I paid $60 for my dog (Donation to the humane society) and I can tell you that each year she cost me more than 3 times that in vet visit, heart worm medicine, shots, flea medication and I gladly pay that because I take the responsibility of animal ownership seriously.

    Well same thing goes for any other kind of animal, Bird, Rabbit, Cat, Snakes etc.

    If the animal is sick, and the animal need to see a vet than that's what should be done, raising the temps will not make the RI go away if this is indeed what the problem is.

    I know times how hard however if you cannot afford an animal this means feeding, housing and vet care than you should probably reconsider owning the animal.

    There are options for you if you cannot afford vet care, you can ask for a payment plan (most vets will do that) or you can surrender your animal.

    Animal ownership is a serious responsibility that need to be considered carefully, if the animal is a burden financially that re-homing is often the best option.
