Raise your own funds or get temporary credit
If you don't qualify for a credit card or bank loan that can help you through your pet's crisis, you may still be able to get an account with Care Credit, a credit card that's specifically for health expenses, including your pet's. Care Credit offers no interest or low interest plans with fixed monthly payments that allow you to budget your money. It's accepted by many veterinarians.
There are many animal welfare organizations that can help out with vet bills, either with low-cost care, loans, or grants. Here are a few:
