It sounds like you care what happens to your sister's dog ($50 dollars disappears easily even with basic groceries, so I hope you'll be okay too). It's hard to understand why your sister is out of contact even if she's out of the country - she should be the one making these decisions, not you. If she's out of the country, I can only assume she has the means to pay for her dog's treatment, so that's confusing too.
Since the responsibility is yours, I hope you've made a decision you can live with. What's best for the dog or what's best for your relationship with your sister? Only you can choose because your dog certainly can't.
I hope it works out for him. And you too.
I suspect we'll never know.
