See if you can make payment arrangements for the initial visit for a diagnosis. The sooner the diagnosis and treatment for osetosarcoma, the better the chances of long term survival. If you need long term care, the vet may work with you on that as well, or there is Credit Care which is a credit card for medical expenses. Some folks on the tripawds forum have used it.

Good thoughts to you and Laney.

I'd suggest restricting her exercise to leash WALKS only, even out to pee, until you see the Vet, that way you can also see if it helps.

But any pain is still bad pain, and should be treated. Chronic pain is debilitating and will worsen if not addressed.
