While the SPCA won't be able to help you directly, they might know of a charitable organisation in your area (or just a generous vet!) who might be able to help you. Phone them on 03000 999 999.

Be prepared to plead your case strongly with the PDSA. While, as a charity, they clearly have only limited funds, they do seem to have some rather bureaucratic policies. For example, they (theoretically) only assist people who live within certain postcode areas (close to their treatment centres). Further, they seem to expect people to register with them for possible assistance BEFORE a problem arises. I've known people who've persuaded PDSA to 'bend the rules' on occasions but you need to be prepared to beg!
Good luck!

Well sorry Chris, but a friend of mine was suddenly unemployed, and his dog was ill, I advised him to apply to the PDSA for help, and there was no problem at all, the dog was treated, and he was only asked to pay what he could afford, which was very little, as he was on unemployment benefit at that time......he now has work again, and can pay his vet bills!.....
If you get Housing Benefit and Council Tax benefit you may qualify for help.
If you put your details into this page - http://www.pdsa.org.u...-vet-care/eligibility - the answer page will give you a list of vets (towards the bottom of the page). The three main vets in Perth give treatment under this scheme.

Similarly, while your problem is outside the scope of the Perthshire Abandoned Dogs Society, somewhere there might know who can help you. Phone 01764 684491.
