So, if the animal is from a family that is not well off financially, then that pet is as good as dead because he ain't getting treated. Which sucks.

I have seen a few sites have payment plans for treatment, but still. I bet they tack a nice little 21% interest rate on top of that. 

The total after two operations at that hospital, and then 16 weeks of therapeutic treatments with our local vet, the total ticket was over $5,500.  He's still alive today, though he lost his sight about 9 months ago.
