Your pom sounds like he really is in pain and there could be something wrong in his groin area if he is walking with his legs apart and yelping in pain. People often think that if they purchase a dog when quite young, it will be a long time before we face vet bills but that is not always so. It sounds like you have not prepared for this problem of which you have no control. I wonder if you could have a fund raiser among your family and friends to help towards this cost? This problem can happen to anyone where we sometimes become short on funds because of other expenses and I am sure your family and friends will understand that help is needed. I would not delay this because the shaking usually denotes a lot of pain so I would telephone to the vets in your area for the cheapest rates. I have also been told that the SPCA will give the care needed by their staff at no cost or a small fee. Please do not taking care of this before you have a more serious problem. Take care. RR
