I haven't posted in awhile, but I totally see where you're coming from. I too am in the same sort of boat. It will cost me at least $500 to get Tila spayed and chipped and all the other extras that will need or might need to be done. I lost my job, and have been at a loss. I have spent a lot in vet costs this year alone already. I had to take Tila in for an ear infection, and my elderly cat recently got sick and and the costs are just rising and rising. He's going to be on medication for the rest of his life, and if I go with the surgry its $2300. I just went in yesterday for his blood tests, cost $100. Then they told me he's got ear mites. My cats don't go out, and I don't know where he would have got them. He's only been to the vets office, now I have to take both cats in for ear flushing next week. Cost about $140. And my Odie has to go in next week too, for nail clipping. Because he hates everyone I can't take him to a groomer to get it done, and I'm scared to do it cause he nails are black. So its going to cost me $30 to take him in. I love my babies and will do everything I can, I would never deny them the vet care they deserve, I just wish sometimes it weren't so expensive, especially since things are so tough all over now. I couldn't even buy Tila a new jacket. It sucks. But like I said I will do what I need to they're worth it. I'll just keep trucking. |
