Hi Guys,

I really need a miracle. My best friend Mom of 20's years has a cat. I love this cat as my friend and I found her in 1999, so she is pretty old. Anyways Amber (bff) called me and said baby is really sick, she started limping the other day (Mon night). She also said she wasn't really eating and drinking, she is also having a hard time breathing.

My Bff's Mom took her into the vet Tues. They were so rude to her, they said we need to do xrays, mind you it was 70$ for the exam, they told her the xrays were going to be 200$ and they HAVE to put her under which is 50$, Her Mom doesn't really have that kind of money.. Her Mom had to go to work so she told them she would think about seeing what she can do to treat her. She was going to leave and one of the techs said you can leave her here for 100$ for boarding so we can do the xrays!!! I couldn't believe this vet! I have never heard of HAVING to put something down to run any tests. I know you always try first and then if you have to you have to put them under, but this cat is very sick and older so that really pissed me off!

Thankfully her Mom took Baby home. Bff called me and I told her you should at least get a full panel bloodwork done on her- Since she is older she might be having kidney failure, or something internally going on. It is not going to matter if they do xrays and try to treat her leg when something inside is healthy.

So I called my vet and asked if he can help her, she is my good best friend and her Mom doesn't have that much money. So he said of course bring her in and we will run blood first and go from there, and he said he will wave the exam fee!

Ahh I feel better! So my bff is coming down today at 430 to take Baby in, she wants me to meet here there, her Mom isnt going to come bc she is so upset and she had such a horrible experience with that other vet.

So please say some prayers for Baby! I love this cat like my own. I hope it is something we can fix!!
