Dachshund disc problem..don't know what to do? Any dachshund owners out there who have gone through the same?

My beautiful female dachshund who is 4 years old is hurt, the day it happened she was jumping around and hurt herself. We took her to the vet right away and they put her on immediate crate rest with medication care (steriod, muscle relaxer, and pain reliever) she was in pain and would wobble around a little. Now it seems as if its getting worse I've kept her on strict crate rest 24/7 except when she goes to the bathroom outside. Her legs are starting to drag...I took her to the vet immediately and they said she needs immediate surgery, I gathered as much money as I could and even pawned some of my stuff to get the money but all I could come up with is $1,000 dollars and the surgery cost $2,200. Every vet that offers this surgery has told me that they will not work with me and won't do payment plan even with the $1,000....and I don't qualify for pet care credit card...and neither does anyone i know. The surgeon said they need all the money or they can't do anything. I've taken her to get accupuncture and i haven't noticed any improvement, I'm going to take her to a chiropactor today but i'm just so sad because i can't get the surgery. I don't know what to do....I love my dog and it kills me to see her in pain, she looks so depressed, I don't know what to do guys? I don't want my dog to be paralyzed...does anybody know a vet in san antonio tx that offers dachshund surgery that will work with me? Plz help any advice would be great....
