My finances fluctuate a lot and between 10 snakes, an elderly lizard, two cats and a dog, the occasional devastating vet bill does arise. Its hard when you already feel like you are becoming so thin financially that you feel you have to make hard decisions as to what your priorities are. Its good you are taking the BP to the vet and I hope for the sake of the animal that it does not succumb to infection before Friday. Some advice for the future: Pet Insurance is AWESOME. It really does help when you run into the occasional vet emergency. Also having an emergency credit card really helps me. I only use it for emergency vet/hospital bills and gas that way it never goes so far over I cant pay if off by the end of the month.
