Everyone in same situation but I’m desperate for help

Good evening, I am a single parent with 2 children, we have our dog who is almost 4, cost of living has gone up and I’ve already called a vets no one local to me takes a payment plan. I’m worried for dog as I don’t know how to help. Vet has already told me ranging from £250 to £700 I only have a part time job and earn £327 a month. My benefits haven’t come through yet and I’m struggling can anyone help ?? What can I do to help him until I can get money sorted??? thank you  

Hello!   Fleaing and worming with a veterinary-grade treatment is usually a vets' first move with itchy skin cases.  Most vets will prescribe a few month's worth to help to rule out fleas as a cause.  If you can get a low-cost flea or worm check with your vet or pharmacist, this might be helpful to get a decent quality antiparasiticide prescribed.  However, be warned that as skin signs are present, they may need you to make a paid appointment for a work-up of the case at the same time.  If they do, then it will be because this is needed. It is always worth calling and asking the question.

Wishing your loved one the very best of luck
