Regardless of whether they do or not....they DO eat things they cannot digest....they get hit by cars....they ingest poisonous substances...they get cancer...they get hip displaysia...they get ear infections...they get sores and injuries that we have no idea where they came from....they get parvo....they get kennel cough....and I could go on and on. Just because the likelihood of your dog having the same injury as your snake is low doesn't mean it will never need vet care that you can't afford.Originally Posted by Gadsden
Believe it or not, I TOTALLY understand the fiscal dilemma you are facing. The problem is not whether or not you can afford a vet...but rather....your method of trying to justify or excuse your unwillingness to see what people are trying to tell you.
I hope you really did find an "old friend" who is now a vet who happens to have experience dealing with snakes (somewhat rare in the vet world)...and who also happens to live close enough to you to offer free services. And I hope he's still there for you when your dog needs help, too.
