thanks, Lee

I do hope there is a positive option for the both of you, Lee, sad for you

Oh dear :( That sounds very bad. Major purrs and hugs for you and Annie.

Lots of purrs for your precious Annie, and for you, too.
Thank you for posting the info. about interest-free vet care loans. I
had not heard of them.

{{{{{{{{{{{{ Theresa }}}}}}}}}}}} I'm so sorry it's turned out to be a lot
worse than it sounded at first. Purrs for Annie to made comfortable so she
can come home for some lovin's.

Oh, Theresa, I'm so sorry to see this.  I do hope that the vet will have
better news after the biopsy.  Meanwhile, we'll send comforting prayers and
purrs from our house.

Annie

Hugs and purrs and many prayers for Annie.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Mrs Cat was 12 years old when she passed to
the Rainbow Bridge just last month. This all sounds so familiar :-(

My vet said I could bring Mrs Cat home again, if I wished - but it would
only be for a few days, at best. I made the decision that most of us
have to make at some point :-( You should prepare yourself for the worst.

That must be a huge relief that you can afford the care for her. I hope they
can sort this problem out, poor little girl.

Many purrs for Annie, what a horrid situation. Thanks for the tip about Care
Credit, also, now hoping I can find a local dentist who takes it and who I
feel confident to employ.

I hope they can do something to help her.  Lots of hugs and purrs from us,
Christine and Oreo, Midnight, robin & Tucker

Major purrs and prayers for Annie and for you.

We're sending purrs from here that the biopsy is ok and that Annie feels
better.

The vet just called, the problem isn't with Annie's teeth though there
is some dental issues.  The growth the vet saw is a tumor that goes
down her throat.  It's abcessing and that's the stench I've been
smelling.

I think she said they probably can't operate, it's pretty invasive
procedure.  She'll biopsy it and call me back.  If they can get the
bleeding stopped, Annie can come home tonight.

I don't know what all the options I have, the vet will call later and
we'll discuss the options when I pick Annie up.

Care Credit is a line of credit to be used at vets.  It's an interest
free loan, with payback times of 3 mos, 6 mos, 9 mos.  Maybe even 1
year, I'm not sure.  The website is http://www.carecredit.com/

A vet has to offer it at their office, which is one of the reasons I'm
switching vets.  I just applied last week, they gave me a credit line
of $5,500 and I received a card in the mail.

Theresa

I'm so sorry to hear of Annie's diagnosis. I hope it isn't as serious
as it sounds right now. Purrs for Annie and for you!

Melissa

Oh, I'm sorry for Annie.  Are you going to get a second opinion?
Having that card will at least give you some mental relief.  Purrs for
Annie.

Patm

I'm so sorry for your little Annie!  I do know just how it is when
something like this happens to a kitty you love.  It does sound very
bad.  But it might be benign, so purrs for the biopsy results.  Please
let us know!

Hoping against hope that the biopsy shows it's benign. Many purrs on the
way for both of you.

Lots of purrs and prayers coming for the best possible outcome for Annie,
I'm very sorry to hear this.
