I'm not a veterinarian, but I can try to offer some general suggestions. Limping can have various causes, including injuries, infections, or underlying health conditions. If your dog's pain is progressing and he is having difficulty walking, it is important to seek veterinary attention as soon as possible. Ignoring or delaying treatment could potentially worsen his condition.

While I understand that veterinary exams can be expensive, some options you can consider include:

  1. Contacting local animal shelters or nonprofit organizations: Some organizations offer low-cost veterinary services or can direct you to resources that may be able to help.
  2. Researching veterinary clinics that offer payment plans or financial assistance: There may be clinics in your area that provide options for those who are unable to pay the full amount upfront. Call and explain your situation before scheduling an appointment.
  3. Reaching out to friends or family for potential financial assistance: They may be able to help cover the cost of the vet exam or provide a loan.
  4. Looking into pet insurance: While it may not help with the immediate cost, having insurance can provide assistance with future veterinary expenses.

It's crucial to remember that without a proper diagnosis from a veterinarian, it can be challenging to determine the exact cause of your dog's pain or how to effectively treat it. Prompt veterinary care is generally the best course of action to ensure your dog receives appropriate treatment and relief.

Please consult with a veterinarian for professional advice tailored to your dog's specific situation.
