I have a feeling the vet might get a very good idea as to what is wrong with Fatty without bloodwork - I know vets palpate the kidneys, and if Fatty's jaw is hurt, that will be kind of obvious.

Still...I guess they need the option of blood work, just in case.

Melissa - could the local Humane Society help out? Could the work be done through them?

How about your co-workers? Or go hit up the congressman near where you work.
