Question
hello, first of all him happy that I find this web site and better yet natural remedies Thank you for that. Ok my question and concern is that yesterday we notice our dog Sabrina that she was draining liquid from her vulva and we know is pus, well we took her to the hospital and they told us that her uterus had to be removed,because she would just keep getting those infections and we will dot but right now money is the problem. Now, they only gave us antibiotics but no pain medicine and in deed we know she is in pain but they didn't gave us  anything for her pain because we couldn't afford to spay her at their hospital, and my question is that what kind of remedies would you suggest to ease her pain while I find her an affordable clinic where she could be seen and take care of her illness. thank you again for the great labor you gains are doing behind our screns.

Answer
Hello Maria, I am so sorry to hear about your girl.  Yes, she will need this surgery done as soon as you can get financing.
There is a credit card for people and pet health called Care Credit -they have low monthly payments.

Ok, the only things that may help is 81mg baby aspirin per day - here is a link to the web site for over-the-counter options.
This link gives the dosage of Coated aspirin for dogs per pound..

Apply to the care credit, you may be able to get 800.00 or more of credit.
Some folks get 4000.00 but they need excellent credit ...


Good Luck
