Almost all vets will work out a payment plan. Get Conway to the vet pronto. Like now.

Please take conway to the vet if it is cancer they might be able to treat it if they catch it soon enough. It may be a simple a uti which meds will clear up.
There is something you must understand sometimes it is in the best interest of your dog to put him to sleep. I know this because of my Justice. After a six month battle with cancer I had to put him down, didn't want to would have done ANYTHING to keep him with me. In may 2006 his toe got an infection in it. Nothing would clear it up so we had the toe taken off. $450.00 not to mention the pain he was in afterwards, he was okay for awhile and then he would only eat if I hand feed him (spoiled) but then late Sep I went to let him in and when I petted him I found a lump
called the vet and he needed that lump taken off, before we went to do that I found yet another lump, they removed both on Oct 11 and just a few days later I found another then another. So from oct 11 to nov 3 I did everything in my power to find a way to cure him NO such luck. For Justice sake I sent him to dogie heaven. I understand fully you don't want to put your dog down I didn't either. But I did because I loved him that much and wouldn't let him suffer like that.
I hope you get conway to the vet and I pray he will be alright. But as pet owner we have to do what is best for our pets.

I agree, borrow some money from someone and get him to the vet. It sounds like a UTI infection, a tumor of some sort, or something related. You need to get him in to the vet asap.

Of course you cannot get insurance for a condition he already has!!!!
And do you know how much insurance would cost on an 11 year old dog????????? Can you afford over $600 per year for that????
Borrow the cash and get it seen at least!!
