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

Well, I hope they will tell you only good news. Good luck!

They may be 'just animals' to some people, but we know better :) I'm so glad Bassett is being a good patient for her mummycat and she's taking her medications without too much fuss. Thank you for the update and good luck with the journey to Burnaby, skilled vets, payment plans and a healthy Bassett at the end.

Glad to hear Bassett is still doing well. We wish you luck when you go to Burnaby.

Yay! Bassett!!! Way to make some progress!!!! I am so glad things are at least on a plateau, and you are moving forward with things diagnostically. Good luck, and take care of you and Bassett!!!!

Still praying for you from here.

Naomi,

Those ignoramuses who make stupid comments like that are just plain ignorant. "Alot of money for just a pet" is the most assanine remark I've heard. But don't feel alone because I went through it with Casey. My comeback was always "All that money for just a kid????" They'd have this dumbfounded look on their faces like there is a difference. The best thing to do with those idiots is to ignore them for them know NOT what they're talking about.

Hang in there.

(((((hugs)))))

I'm so glad to hear that Bassett is home safe with you. I will continue to pray for help for Bassett after the ultrasound.

Take care, know that we are here for you and sweet Bassett.

God Bless.

I want to thank you all again for the continiued support. Everyone has been wonderful and I appreciate everyone's help. I got the results back from Bassett's urine sample test, and it is showing decreased kidney function, which the vet thinks is a result of hypertension. However, she doesn't want to start medicating and have it be a total different problem. That's why the ultrasound is the next crucial step.

I have had some people offer to help pay for this treatment, and I just want to say to them thank you SO much. I thought I would post here how that process might work rather than type a bunch of PM's. However, I'm NOT asking for money. I've been ok so far, and even if no one could offer help I would still find a way to do it. But, like I said, some people have offered help and have asked for some information.

The critcal care clinic does not accept third party cheques, nor does it accept cheques in a currency other than Canadian money, which makes sense. However, the girl said that money orders , made out to "ANIMAL CRITICAL CARE GROUP" are fine. Also, the money orders would have to be sent to me, not directly to the clinic because she was afraid that they might get lost because money order's aren't usually labelled with a memo line like a cheque. If anyone has any more questions, please PM or email me. I'm just posting the money order option because I totally understand being hesitant about all this. I cannot cash a money order made out to another name and organization.

Again, I'm not asking for money. I appreciate the help that has been offered more than I can possibly say, and I thank you SOOO much for everything. Just knowing that you are all here and acting as my extensive support system has been enough. Thank you, I love you all dearly, and your friendship is treasured.

Bassett was able to get into the clinic on Wednesday, at noon! I'm so happy they got her in so fast! My boyfriend is lending me the money to get it done. I'm so glad it's finally starting to move forward! :)

WHAT GOOD NEWS!!
I am soooo happy for you and Bassett!!!:D :D :D

Good Luck!!!Dear Bassett and Naomi!!!!!!
Glad Basset is doing better!!!and taking his meds1!!!!

Still Praying for you Dear Basset!!!

Naomi, I'm so glad to hear that Bassett is doing better and that you were able to get her into the clinic this Wed. Prayers are still on the way for you and Bassett. I also hope that you have a safe trip to the clinic. All fingers and paws are still crossed here too.

Wow, Wed. that is good news. Waiting is the hardest part, aside from not knowing. Best, BEST of luck in finding out the problem and then correcting it.

Good luck again!

Hi, It's been a few days since I was able to check in at Pet Talk but I have been thinking about Bassett. I'm glad things are moving forward and I hope everything turns out fine. Prayers are still being sent for Bassett.
