I have one piece of advice, not about the actual medical care, but, if you should go to the vet, and need prescriptions:
My employer lets us use our prescription plan if the meds prescribed by the vet can be used by humans (the dosage may be much different for pets). This may be much cheaper (you said that money was tight right now). You'd probably have to go to a (human) pharmacy, not get it filled by the vet's office. For example, Sarah Jane needed Erythromycin. I'm pretty sure I remember that from my childhood (Mom was a nurse, and I'm sure I heard her talk about it). I forgot about my health plan! I paid a LOT for a little tube of ointment! Perhaps this would help with the costs for you. Please take them to the vet ASAP.
