Oh gawd I am SO sick of threads like this. I'm sorry, but some people need to cut the whining, get off their backsides and use some iniative.

PT is not an endless pit of knowledge that can take care of your pets for you, and there's more than one person that needs to learn that on these boards. If your pet has a problem, IMO you should be bending over backwards to put it right.

I've had finicial difficulty in my family before. My dad was unfairly dismissed a few years back and at that time my mum didn't have a job as we'd been able to live off dad's salary perfectly well. Right in the middle of it, our RB cat became very ill. We had vets bills in excess of £300, but you know what? We bought value groceries for a few weeks, gave up pocket money, sold a few things we didn't have much use for to pay for treatment. We were lucky in that the compensation from the court case repaid what we'd missed out on. So my nerves burn when I hear the old 'oh I can't afford it right now'. Yes, it's tough as hind meat, but you make the effort. Character building.

Not that there's anything wrong in asking for help or advice, but when it's plain 'I don't know what to do, help me' stuff, with a frank disregard to what said poster does not want to hear (which is, more often than not, the truth) to put it bluntly, it's a waste of energy spent typing.

Reggie you seem to be having a lot of issues with pets right now so you cannot blame people for starting to become suspicious. Getting angry doesn't aid your cause.
