I know most here will condemn me for suggesting it but I just can't
keep throwing money away on our cat Andy.

In summer 2002 Andy was diagnosed with diabetes. The total costs in
two months was $1,600.00. The vet still wanted us to bring him in
every two weeks at $200.00 a crack for day long blood sugar tests.
This would end when they determined the insulin level was right.
However other costs such as expensive food, and the problem of having
other cats that try to eat this expensive food. One good thing Andy is
so overwieght he cannot get up to the other cats food dish. When he
wants to eat he incesantly meows until we come and pick him up and put
him on a counter and open the container with his food. Another thing
is the insulin, a minor cost in the sceme of things.

I accepted this money loss, because I do feel a commitment to our
animals. However, this past May a urinary tract infection and blockage
occurred. That ended up costing us another $1,200.00. The vet then
said she cannot guranty this won't happen again frequently. Before we
left the vet they said we were over due for the diabetes screening
test, and should do one as soon as Andy revovers fully.

We were going to call the vet Monday to schedule that test.  It is
Saturday night at 11:00 I catch Andy trying to pee on the carpet.
(another blockage) I know we should rush out to the emergency vet, but
I decided to wait until morning (it is now almost 1:00am) and see what
the night brings. He may well be dead, have I not done more than most?
am I evil?
When is the point when enough is enough?
