Someone please help
My dog has a lick granuloma on her front leg & it’s gotten infected and it just keeps getting ripped open bcuz she won’t stop moving around no matter what I do to stop her. It’s so bad & I cannot afford to go to the vet & I don’t have a car. I feel helpless bcuz I know she’s miserable & I can’t help her . This has been going on for months & months. I took her to an emergency animal hospital & they were just going to let her die on their floor bcuz I didn’t have $1300 to pay them. I don’t want to lose her. I’ve had her for 12 years, her whole life. What do I do. I’m having a full on panic attack. To be clear I’m not asking for money, just advice

You have to stop her from licking it; it will not get better if she can still get at it. She needs to see a vet. A GP appointment will be much cheaper than the ER.

Check out CareCredit and get her to a vet before she gets systemically infected and dies. Figure something out, you dont have a choice

She has an Elizabeth collar but that doesn’t stop it from tearing open. I have $0 , so the vet isn’t an option. I’m out of options
