Karen, I would have never experienced the joys of watching an entire litter grow up together if they hadn't had felv. It was a wonderful experience. Kittens do get diarrhea, but I would worry if it doesn't clear up quick. I can't believe what you've already been through! Ringworm for all my friends, YUK! What a nightmare. Is it possible that if you told your vet the story of how you came to have these guys they might be willing to give you a discount? If not, shame on them. You could try contacting your local rescues and asking them if you could go through their organization to get their discount. I do this with a local rescue. I don't have to abide by anything they say, they're just kind enough to let me bring my rescues into the vet that works with them, (for a discount). They pay the vet and then I pay them back in the form of a donation. That way I get a discount and I can deduct the costs from my taxes, (because it's a donation to a charity). Call around, usually when they hear you're not looking to dump animals on them, they become very sympathetic and appreciate your willingness to help animals in need. Nina Marylyn wrote:
