I am so sorry to hear that. I know getting medical help for our pets is very expensive. My dog had cancer couple of years ago.
I think it would be beneficial for you to find a vet who uses natural remedies. I have heard so many good things about usage of natural remedies, and they are rather inexpensive.
Also, you can find minerals on www.meminerals.com. These minerals should help humans/animals with diseases.
I wish both you and your dog a lot of luck.

Most animal hospitals have assistance programs that can help you out if you really can't afford to have her treated, but since she's an older dog, you may be better off letting it run it's course and just keeping her comfortable until it's her time to go, rather than putting her through the stress of a surgery.

at that age if it is not really stopping her everyday life I would let it go. If it is so large that it is hanging just tape it up with medical tape to keep it out of the way. If it is causing real problems the best bet would be give her the ride to the woods. It is a rough deal. That is the part that makes me hate dealing with dogs.

Is your dog having problems walking? You should go to HSUS.com, they have several possible recources for getting help with vet bills. If she is in pain though, you have to let her go, it's the right thing to do. We cannot ask our pets to suffer because we can't fathom being without them.

Call a local shelter and see if they can help you. There are organizations who help people like yourself pay for medical on animals.
