I am so sorry that your father is being such a jerk (understatement, I know!) .

Let's try to work past blame and work towards caring for your dog now. Meaning: focus on NOW. You can certainly call the vet, explain the circumstances clearly and ask for their advice. Is coming in necessary? If so, would they be willing to take a couple of payments to make cost less shocking? If they aren't willing to take payments, where else do they advise you to take the dog? Are home remedies an option to reduce chance of infection from recurring?

Very best wishes sent to you and your dog, Indie. You're in my thoughts!
