"Pet Angel Fund for Spaying Gizzy et al"

Is $60 enough for the shots?

from this stated earlier, almost. could you come up with the 6.75??

PreOp blood work: $55.00
Spay: 81.99; Pain meds $8-$10.00
Vax: Distemper-18.69; FeLV-22.04; Rabies-12.73; Bordetella-13.29 = $66.75
FeLV/FIV combo test - 44.79
Total 258.53
Not sure what tax is in your state.... would need to calculate that in.

I am not sure but Gizzie may need to be tested before they vaccinate her for felv and in that case there is enough.

Oh goodness child, get off your butt and do something. Why are you always whining and leaving it up to others to decide and take action? Oh, I forgot.. you don't/can't wake up before noon. Oh forget I even said anything, I'm done with this

Excuse me? I'm not whining. And don't talk to me that way.

Of course everyone is probably going to come in here and agree with you and then not say anything about you being rude. Yet if I say something even slightly off I get called rude.

Whatever.

You should have no problem getting vax done w/out any testing. Testing isn't mandatory. Vax are.

ditto.

[jennielynn1970]

If it were me, I'd do all the vax except for the bordatella. I'd do that when there is enough cash. Cats do get it, but it's more prevalent in the shelter situation.

That was REALLY uncalled for. As I said in previous posts, I don't agree with some of Bri's actions or words but NIETHER DOES SHE! Do you think she just chooses to be in situations like this one? No one likes it, all she is asking for is support NOT bashing. I don't get why everyone is being so rude around here lately, geez. I think some people need to learn the phrase "If you have nothing nice to say don't say it at all".

As for the bordetella (canine kennel cough) the cat wouldn't need that vax. There is a form of cat bordetella but a lot of clinics do not carry a vaccine for it, so you may want to call the clinic and ask if they provide the vax. It's very rare that a hospital vaccinates for it.

The clinic is the one who quoted the price for the bordatella... hence why it was stated in the estimate.

Like I said, it is more common in the shelters, our shelter has been dealing with it recently. I don't think Gizzie would need it since she wasn't at a shelter.

Ah, didn't know if they meant the cat vax or dog vax since there was mention of treating her dogs as well.

Our local Humane Society had a huge outbreak of it a few months back, and unfortunately I think the local animal control is now dealing with it...and sadly still adopting those animals out.

The animal hospital I work for has been trying to get ahold of a vax for such a long time, but our headquarters won't approve of it's use because it's not that common. A real pitty IMO. Better safe than sorry!

[Roxyluvsme13]

As asked above, do you think they'll charge an initial exam price as well as for the shots?

[Roxyluvsme13]

Okay. I didn't think the bordetella was necessary for cats. And I'm pretty sure they won't do FeLV without the test, so I'll just tell them to hold off on it. My mom or I is making the appointment tomorrow for next Thursday or Friday

ETA: Do you think they'll charge for an initial examination?

[jennielynn1970]

Awesome news Bri!!! If they will do it w/out the test, get it done. The odds of her being positive are pretty small if she's been healthy. FeLv seems to show it's ugly head early on if they are young. Many of our kittens at the shelter that were FeLv+ are/were sickly. Some still look good, but not great.

[sandragonfly]

sigh roxy, didn't you just said you'll make one tomorrow yesternight?

well, I made a call anyway, and they will be expecting you (gimzo willis) next thursday morning between 8 - 9 for shots and spay. for all of the details they wanted, I've tried and gave out the best of my knowledge - reasons, breed, color, and age.. they would still want a specific birthdate of the cat and phone number where gizzy can be reached if you have them.

maybe when you all get there, you can explain to them that all of these will be paid by funds - hopefully all of checks will get in time by that day.

and if your mother doesn't agree with that date/time, please let me know and I'll give a call back. all is free for me.

sorry guys, since this is going nowhere for too long, there is something we have to do.
