Damn, your story just makes me cry! How terrible that you can't find a vet that's willing to do the deed on a payment plan. Mine have done that for regular customers and on occasion have just waved the fee entirely.

This is just so heartbreaking!

Try not to feel guilty (I know, I know, famous last words) but you're doing the best you can with your financial situation and staying up with Marmie to just give her your comforting presense is so truly loving.
