**UPDATE** I was able to contact a different clinic which has a more reasonable estimate. Blood work will be 150 dental cleaning 400 plus extractions. I lowered the goal amount accordingly. My lil guy Jax is in need of an urgent dental cleaning and possible extraction(s). I don't have the money to pay for it, and I can't get approved for credit. These places don't take payment arrangements either, which sucks.

I recently took him to the vet so they could check his mouth, and they gave me a quote that ranges from $1,500-$2,000 depending on what they find when he's under. They also have to do lab work and x-rays, which add another couple hundred dollars to the bill.

It's killing me to know he's in pain and I can't do anything. I've been through a lot medically as well. I'm on a fixed income. I'm trying to sell things as well to raise money, but no takers. Everyone is struggling, which is why I don't understand the lack of help for low-income pet parents.

I've always been proud and don't like asking for help, but this time it's for my fur baby, so pride aside, I need HELP! Anything helps.
