Lucky I love this little fella. Coz far out I've spent a fortune on him in the last few days with more vet fees to come 😞 but that's the thing with pets, you just have to do what you have to do. May I recommend pet insurance to anyone with cats over 9? Apparently, they become old at that age. We never thought we'd have to spend thousands on him over two days and the vets are checking him for conditions with long-term ramifications 😢

Pets become part of the family and you do whatever needs to be done 💜

nobody 2y ago

Yes. Always spend money on your cat. 😈

In all seriousness, I’ve been through this with two pets last year and only made it because my mother in law loves our animals too and helped. And I took that help because Marie is right. They’re family.

Prayers for kitty. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Nobody 2y ago

Thanks 😊...

I'm expecting to be able to bring him home tomorrow with another bill for $1K, if it goes over that I'll be borrowing money from a friend until after pay day. This sudden illness is a real drain. *sigh* I'm hoping it's neither cancer nor serious kidney issues, both of which the vet has highlighted as possiblities.

Veterinary services are very expensive. I paid $400 for an X-ray and a basic blood draw.

Nobody 2y ago

I'm not even surprised. The first overnight was only supposed to cost me $1700 but they said it could go as high as $2300, but I paid $2900. 🙄

After hours vet services are unreal. I do wish Toby had of avoided showing nasty symptoms on a Sunday.

It’s amazing how quickly health can change for the small animals. My dog (85pounds) went from fine to explosive diarrhea in an hour. Once it started, it didn’t stop for 5 days (on treatment).

Even with my abscessed teeth last week, it took a week to get bad enough to put me in bed. I guess their small bodies feel things faster than us.

I am sorry to hear that amount. I know that’s a painful hit. I know you’ll be ok with it if kitty becomes healthy though, so I will pray for that first, then for your checkbook. 😵‍💫

Some vets here allow you to pay off expenses, hopefully it’s nothing too serious.

Sending positive vibes 💜

Thanks ☺️... Yeah, if my husband were here he could easily get credit services, I'm an unemployed university student, so I didn't want to test... But he's at work until Wednesday night.

nobody 2y ago

Ouch. I’d be forging my man’s info. lol. So would my wife, but we have that arranged already.

Nobody 2y ago

No I just started using the money in his account once mine was drained. That's the kind of arrangement we have. I dunno if I could fake the paperwork and I don't look like a Phill 😅🤔

nobody 2y ago

Fair enough 🤣

I’m sure he’s glad you don’t look like a Phil. 🤣😂

Nobody 2y ago

🤣🤣 Yes, it's probably for the best.

Nobody 2y ago

The sad thing is he actually looks like an old man in these pics. A few days ago he was chasing Elsa around the yard like he owned the place.

Catty_McCatface 2y ago

What a beautiful kitty 🐈‍⬛ 😻😻

Nobody 2y ago

He is gorgeous. He looks like he's aged in the last few days though. His personality is awesome too such a snuggle bug in winter.

Catty_McCatface 2y ago

I love cats, snuggly chatty cats are my favourite. I love how big their personalities are 💜

Nobody 2y ago

So apparently I get to bring him home tomorrow at lunch time 😀🎉🥳

He has two serious conditions. One is his right kidney is in distress due to a blockage and the other is he seems to have the cat equivalent of IBS which gave him diarrhoea which made his kidney bad and was the cause of his hospitalisation for the last few days. And a great cause of concern for the vets and needs to be looked into when he's feeling better. I'm just looking forward to bringing him home tomorrow 😁the house doesn't feel the same without him.
