    Describe what you are seeing to a clinic or an emergency hospital. Most will tell you for free whether it needs seeing tonight.

  2. 2

    Ask to pay over time

    Ask the practice to split the bill before the appointment. If it can't, most accept at least one payment plan.

  3. 3

    Ask about charity help

    Some charities pay part of a bill, usually once a vet has given you a diagnosis and a written estimate.

  4. 4
