PT Prayers for Tiger...

[Medusa]

It's so tough, even reading your post, just tugs at the heartstrings. It's so sad to think that money has to enter into our decisions where our dear furkids are concerned but this is the real world and nothing is free; nothing of value anyhow, except for one thing: the air we breathe. And Tiger just isn't getting his fair share of it. Whatever decision that you, your husband and vet come to, it will be the right decision. I know that money isn't the only factor, to be sure, and that the primary concern is that you want what's best for Tiger and his longevity and also his comfort and quality of life. We'll keep the prayers going for your sweet boy and for you, your husband and your vet. We'll do our best to prop you up and support you in any way that we can. More (((HUGS))) and hand holds coming your way....

I should have also written in my last post that I'm very grateful that I will receive a staff discount for the surgery so it's not nearly as bad as it could be. As well, they will allow me to make payments each month until it's paid. So it's definitely something we can manage but I know there are alot people who think it's complete madness, the amount spent and continued to be spent on a single cat. I've stopped telling people other than PT'rs! LOL Most people just shake their heads. But, I don't think this kind of thing is going to happen with my other cats so while we might spend more on Tiger, the others will hopefully not need so much care. But... if they do, they'll get it!

You're certainly not obligated to explain the financial arrangements to anyone. We PTers understand, you know that. When I spend money on one of my furkids, people who don't have cats say the same thing every time: "For a CAT???" I stopped telling them. It's not their business and, unless they plan on paying the vet bill for me, they can keep their comments to themselves. We do what we have to and not just because we have to but because we want to. We love these little furballs. Prayers still continuing......

Thanks for your post. Tiger is not doing very well. We're just taking one day at a time right now and I'm praying that the struggles he's dealing with right now are somehow related to the surgery and intubation tube irritation in his throat. He's very low energy these days and won't eat anything that has Transfer Factor in it. I'm basically just trying to make him comfortable and continuing with the prednisilone to help with inflammation.
He still attacks the cat tree but his balance is off and it does seem that he's getting weaker. I'm giving him lots of love though and brushing and visits outside so each day has good stuff along with the not so good.
p.s. I think this thread is the older thread, the one before the surgery one. I'm just adding this in case anyone might be confused.
Thanks again for asking about Tig.

I was so hoping to read a good report. Well, we'll take the good and leave the rest. He's attacking the cat tree; that's something at least. Lots of (((HUGS))) to you and love pats to Tiger and, of course, prayers.
