I wrote my reply to you before I got this one. I understand all to well
the hardship of money concerns and vet care. I hate it when money is a
factor, but sometimes it is. Having the fluid drained, (if that's what's
going on), will make Stretch more comfortable and it's possible that it
won't accumulate again. I'm very sorry sweetie. I know what you mean
about not thinking you can take any more pain. You've got such a big
heart, you can handle this, I'm just sorry you have to. Keep a close eye
on Stretch, do the best you can for him under the circumstances.
Remember, sometimes even with all the money in the world, we can't help
them recover. Sometimes the best thing for all concerned is to love
them, cherish the moments we have and help them transition before they
suffer too much.
Praying for a miracle too,
Nina

Hi Michelle,
Thank you for the info. I am going to give another
day or two to see how things go before taking Stretch
back to the doc. Frankly, we are tapped out on money.
We are not wealthy by any stretch of the imagination,
and after spending hundreds of dollars trying to save
Cricket, and with Christmas just passed, we are a bit
broke. I had to put the $85 visit to the vet
yesterday on a credit card that didn't have $85
dollars on it. I will do all I can for Stretch, but
if it's cancer, I am not going to draw it out. We
just can't afford the treatments. I feel so
frustrated right now. I don't want Stretch to go
through this. I don't want my nephew to go through
losing his cat; he's been through so much as it is.
And my attitude isn't it's normal hopeful self after
losing Cricket. I feel it's too soon after Cricket; I
don't think I can go through this again. I am praying
for a miracle right now. If Stretch can just pull
through this, and give us a little time, we will be
better able to afford treatments in six months. I
hope that some of you understand being in this place.
How do you guys afford expensive treatments when you
just don't have the money?
Thanks,
Wendy
