Low cost Emergency Vet?
UPDATE # 3:
A successful emergency c-section was performed. SEVEN healthy puppies and mom are back at home with me. Thanks for all the direction and support, everyone. It paid off. She was also fixed during this process and is already setup for foster and adoption once foster hold is up. We did it.
UPDATE # 2:
After some complications, I made the decision to take her into the Emergency vet. She is now in surgery for emergency C section and the first puppy that was stuck in the birth canal is out and alive! Not the easy road but it looks like everyone is going to come out ok! She will also be fixed while retrieving all the pups.
UPDATE: The placenta is coming out. She is relaxed and doing well. I spoke to several vets and they told me I’m doing everything right. Just keep monitoring and to call if any issues arise. They say it sounds like she will have them just fine here at home with me. If issues arise, I am in constant contact with several rescues and the vet and have a plan to take her in should any issues arise.
Original post:
An extremely pregnant dog was dumped behind me house, presumably because she’s pregnant. Naturally I brought her in, fed her, bathed her and started working on a rescue / foster and vet care solution.
However, she is now going into labor and I’m nervous I don’t know what I’m looking for and I am not in a financial space to take on an emergency vet bill. Are there any resources out there that may help with this?
