Alright, I will ask some of them. Do you know if the money can be foreign currency?

I'm curious to what exactly this money is for? I know your getting one cat spayed and her shots, but are all her animals in need of being fixed? Is that why the vet needs 730$?? And this money is going directly to the vet right? Not to her or her mom? Just checking to be safe.

None of the money whatsoever goes to me or my mom. It's all for my pets and their shots. The money goes into a fund and then I can use that money from the fund when I take them all to the vet.

Both of my cats, and 1 of my dogs need to be spayed, and the 2 cats, and 2 dogs all need their shots and examinations.

Okay everyone, PLEASE, do not get mad at me for this. But the money is urgently needed. I just discovered Skye has worms, and it's probably already spread to Lily and Gizzie. Probably why Skye has been running around meowing all night. UGH.

And can I just add how horrible I really feel? Because now they're all going to have worms and my mom doesn't get her check till Thursday and even then she probably won't have the money to pay for a vet bill, and I seriously feel like the worst pet owner ever.

Are you talking roundworms, the ones that come out in fecal matter?

If so i have an inexpensive home remedy for you until you get the funds to take them in...

FOOD GRADE Diatomaceous Earth. You should be able to get it at any garden type store. make sure it is NOT for pools. (Pool grade is highly toxic. The pet food recall has nothing on how fast pool grade DE will kill a pet.)

Mix a bit of this up in some broth or gravy (NOT WARMED... adding heat to DE can make it toxic!) and possibly some canned cat food of you have some. (<--- This is to make it palatable for them.) 1/4 teaspoon of the powder to about 2 Tablespoons of liquid. = one dose for each kitty. (about 1/4 teaspoon for every 10lbs of body weight.) give this about 12 hours apart for the first day. then give three days after that, then three days after that. (By then you should be able to get them into the vet and have them tested for all sorts of other things. If they aren't put on something else... give this to them again five days after the second third day, and then again after another three days. This schedule is for a known infestation of roundworm. The first part is a just in case.)

And before anyone worries about the safety of this or how effective this is... I've used it on four animals and even used it myself (just to be on the safe side.)

Edit: Forgot to say... a 2lb box/bag around here costs between $3 - $12. I don't understand the huge difference in price, but i wanted to give you an idea of how much to expect to pay. It's not much considering that a 2 lb box lasts a long time and DE is so versatile. (It's highly effect on fire ants!)

But really at the moment we don't even have the money to buy that stuff.. my mom doesn't have a steady job again at the moment.. and we're in another rough spot.

That bites...

I wish i lived (a LOT) closer. I'd drop some off to you.

The post office isn't too fond of white powders either.

Not to be mean, but if you don't have the money for the pets, and you can't take care of them, why do you have so many of them??

Seriously... I mean, is this going to be a yearly thing where it is just "Pay for our pets to be vetted."

Part of being a responsible pet owner is having the funding to take care of them. I don't think it's right that an owner (whatever the ages may be) should be relying on a bunch of people who have HUGE hearts to take care of their animals for them.

I'm just getting tired of people who have pets and can't pay for their vet care, and expect others to do it for them. What other "luxuries"(extras) are being given up by the owner to take care of the pets? I mean, if everyone is still eating out, using cell phones, smoking cigs, then priorities are messed up.

I'm not picking on Bri, I'm just saying I see her asking for money for all of her pets, but what is her family putting into their upkeep?
