My heart goes out to him. We just fixed a terrible virus crash, and could have used his services!
Our Oreo is also having a major Vet $$ crisis... thousands! and being taken advantage of by specialists too. I found a more humane vet to handle Oreo's rare cancer and he is doing palliative therapy to make her last months more comfortable.
We are in day 5 of steroid management, instead of invasive surgeries, and she is back to her old self. (she is 13)
The prognosis with $5000 surgery is only 3-4 months longer than with steroids to shrink the tumors. The other vet would not give this option, and I found a compassionate vet to do it just as a fluke. We know her time is short, but I'd rather she enjoy being a cat than suffering on a cushion from chronic pain.
I posted this link this weekend about a family who found an abandoned paralyzed kitten...they are using the net to bring their problem to other pet owners, and your son may find doing something similar helpful too.

My heart goes out to your son. We have suffered much anxiety and pain, over this and I can only imagine what your son is going thru!
