Dear {veterinary office}:
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your skilled and compassionate care of {pet's name} during {his/her} recent {injury/illness}.
I can also never thank you enough for focusing more on the emergency medical situation than on billing matters. Your respect and trust is much appreciated.
With that being said, I will need some flexibility in paying off the costs of {pet name}'s treatment. My application for the credit line you recommended was declined, and my efforts at crowdsourcing funding gathered only {amount}.
I'm not seeking to have you reduce the bill in any way. Rather, I'm hoping you can see your way clear to accept payments of {amount} per month. Additionally, please let me know if there is any work I can do in or around your veterinary office to help offset what I owe you. My skills include {landscaping/marketing/painting/etc.}.
Thank you again for everything. {Pet's name} is {home with me/at peace over the Rainbow Bridge}.
Sincerely,
{Sender Name}
