There is a credit care sort of thing called "care credit" which depending on the amount of the expense gives you from 6 - 12 months to pay off without interest. My vet wouldn't let me pay....wanted his $ immediately, but offered the care credit as his option....I have always been able to pay it off within the 6 months......but definitely $2000 wouldn't even be within that budget.....but found it does help to be able to spread some of the higher/lower expenses over that amount of time.
