okay, my fish is sinking to the bottom, her eyes are pale, she's unresponsive outside of violent jerks, her gils are still moving, she is upright ( not laying on her side). She's a golf fish ( and I THINK she's a she/ female.) i'm so scared and dont know what to do adn can't afford a vet, I want to cry ( I have cried) and I desperately need help.

Want a licensed vet to look at this too? We will put it in front of the vets who answer here, and post their reply on this thread.

If the bill is the part that's hard

Ask the practice first: many will split a bill in-house, and it costs nothing to ask. If not, these are the two plans most pet owners use.

  • Scratchpay. A payment plan for vet bills you apply for in about a minute, used at the practices that take it.
  • CareCredit. A card for health and vet costs that most practices accept.
See if you qualify with Scratchpayor apply with CareCredit

PawsRx may be paid when you apply. Approval and terms are the lender's, we never see your application, and we don't choose one for you.
