Bassett is really sick... they don't know what's wrong with her

I just went to the vet. her exact words were "we've got a kitty with some serious problems here." Either her chest cavity is filled with fluid, or her lung tissue is filled with fluid. Her blood pressure was 160 - way too high. The vet could see her pulse in her jugular, which is a bad sign. I had to leave her there while they do some x-rays on her, but the vet says she needs an ultrasound and stuff with a specialist, which costs at least $400 and I don't have the money to do it. I'm praying so hard that she can be well. I can't lose Bassett - not my baby..

Oh no....
I will be praying for sweet Bassett... hang in there and don't loose faith... keep us posted.:(

Oh my goodness! Prayers are certainly on the way for you and Bassett!! I hope they can figure out what is wrong with her. Poor baby girl and poor you! Do let us know what the vet says after the x-rays and examinations.
**hugs**

Ask you Vet to do a phone consult with whoever She considers to be an "expert" on Bassett's condition.

Ask you Vet where the nearest Vet School is - and ask if they might consider treating Bassett at a reduced cost.

And don't be afraid to ask Your Vet if she will allow you to make monthly payments to spread out the cost of treating Bassett... MOST Vets will do that.

We'll all keep everything crossed and sent up some Prayers - that's sure to help.

Give Bassett a gentle {{{Hugg}}} when you visit.

I did ask about a payment plan, but she said this specialist (he's an internalist???) doesn't allow that. But my vet office does as far as I know.

Thank you all for the prayers. She and I both need them right now :( :( :(

Nomilynn, I'm so sorry to hear about your Bassett...we will certainly be keeping you in our thoughts & prayers. :( Poor Baby Bassett!!! :(

God?

Would you please take care of sweet Bassett and her mommy right now? Bassett is real sick and the vet just doesn't know what to do. Please place your hand upon the doctors and help them to help our Bassett.

Please also be with her mommy, she is really worried and wants her sweet girl to get better and grow old with her.

I ask this in Jesus' name.

Amen

There's got to be more than one "specialist" in the field -
Ask Your Vet to pick another one that WILL work with you to either adjust the prices or offer you a payment plan.

Memo: Don't take NO for the final answer! ;)

Naomi,
I am so sorry about Bassett. Please keep the faith. Prayers on their way from Cincinnati.
