Tragedy at the Layne household... VIDEO ADDED POST 177!

[Catty1]

Katie...you've probably been asked this, but can you get Care Credit? There is no interest if it is paid off in three months.

If your vet can even arrange payments, PTrs here have volunteered to chip in. I know you will let us know.

{{{{hugs}}}}

Be well, sweet little Andy. Eat lots of food, and rest easy. You had an awful accident and scared a lot of people, but you're going to be OK.

[Taz_Zoee]

I am so glad he is home with you!!! I am doing a happy dance here, especially when I heard how he acted when he saw you. AWwwww.

Candace is right, see if you can get Care Credit. That's what I am using for Taz's surgery. Only I had to sign up for 24 months with 11.9% interest, but I plan on paying it off WAY before 24 months. The 3 and 6 month interest free payments monthly were too high for me to commit to. But the monthly for the 24 month is low enough that I can always pay more and get it paid off faster.

Big hugs to you and Andy.
(My sister had a cat named Andy and we always called him Andy Rooney, or Roo)

Thanks guys! Yes I did the care credit for the 500 dollars. I paid the 450 with the credit card(discover) and I paid 100 cash.

Now I need to come up with 100 plus for the hematoma, 30 for the exam, and the 2nd blood test is about 120. I am trying to work that out. I really cant even afford the payments on the 2 cards, but I will have to work it out. I also have to get an xray tomorrow ( could not fit it in tonight), I hope they dont charge me more for bringing him back, other than the x ray. Exam? I dunno, they might.

My regular vet I found out this morning, quit.. So I will need to speak to the office manager, and see if she will go ahead and let me get Andy fixed up there on Monday or Tuesday. I dont have the money, and I have maxed out the card and my wallet. I wont be able to pay them anything for about 2 weeks. And I mean nothing This week was mortgage week, and it takes up one entire paycheck, and 1/4 of the next. They usually make me pay 1/2 and then 1/2 the next week. * SIGH* Wish I was rich... But I am very blessed.

SO I may just need a little help, IF I can not work out something. I dont know. I just dont have it in me to stress over it right now. I guess is someone wants too, they can contact me. But I dont want to stress myself or anyone else out in any way over this. This is my problem, I am just glad to be able to share and vent with my friends/family.


NOW ONTO ANDY!
Andy is so rotten, he is being so clingy, and I just adore him. I cant believe how well he is doing, and how happy he seems to be home. He sure was glad to see his brother Amos. They kissed on the face, and Andy perked up. He even managed to pull out his IV when I left to mush and heat his baby food. The ERV said that it is ok, as long as he wasnt bleeding. His neck has 6 poke holes in it, appearantely they forgot to tell me how hard it was to find a vein.... His poor neck is shaved all up.

Want pictures??? Here ya go!
At the ERV:



At home now:












Once again, Thank you all SOSOSO much for all of the prayers, well wishes, and for giving me support in the lowest point I can remember. Me and Andy will NEVER forget the care/compassion shown to us. All hugs and lovings are giving to Andy regularly!

[Purr-tender]

He looks wonderful!!! You'd never know that he'd just went through so much trauma! What a very lucky boy. How is his tongue doing?

Again, I'd like to help you tackle some of that huge vet bill. Let me know how to get it to you.

Now, get some sleep!! You must be wiped out.

Katie the pictures brought a big smile to my face. He looks so good and happy now to be home. I have told my hubby about this thread and he even had a look at Andy this morning and said that he may have used up one of his lives but he still has eight to go. I, too, would like to send you a little help with the vet bills, if you would PM me with your address. Oh Happy Day!

[Scooter's Mom]

Hi Andy! You have such bright eyes for having gone through such an experience. I bet your mommie is so relieved that they're so bright, huh? You look fantastic sweet boy.

Hugs and very gentle headbumpies,
Crystal

Katie - he looks wonderful!

[catmandu]

WE ARE THANKING OUR ALL MIGHTY LORD GOD ABOVE THAT ANDYS ALL RIGHT, AND THAT ANDYS BACK HOME WHEREHE BELONGS. WE ARE SO PLEASED THAT YOU AND YOUR FRIEND ARE TOGETHER AGAIN IN LOVE!!!

[catmandu]

A FEEDING TUBE MIGHT BE THE THING TO GET ANDY TO EAT.
MAYBE IF YOU COULD GIVE ANDY SOME BROTH, THAT MIGHT BE EASIER FOR HIM TO EAT.
THE FOUND CATS AND I ARE SENDING MORE PRAYERS FOR THIER FRIEND ANDY , THAT HE WILL BE AS RIGHT AS RAIN SOON.

[Alysser]

I'm so sorry I didn't see this Poor little Andy, what a sweet face, but I'm glad to see he is happy to be home wtih his Meowmie.

[jazzcat]

I'm so glad he is home and he looks much better than I expected. I sure hope his tongue swelling and pain goes away quickly so he'll be able to eat better.

Please give him a gentle hug and kiss for me.

[Freedom]

Just catching up on the pics. Once I knew he was home with you, I stopped worrying so much, lol. Nothing like being with meowmie!

Continue the healing, dear Andy!

[Felicia's Mom]

I'm happy he is home and looking great. Keep getting better Andy.

[Taz_Zoee]

Awww, he looks great! Honestly, I was expecting him to look worse. I don't know why.
Hey Andy, Taz knows how it feels to be all shaved up. His tummy is nakie right now and he has a patch on his leg just like you!
You are home now Andy, so rest up and get all better for your meowmie. She was/is very worried about you.
Katie, you know I would definitely help you out financially if I wasn't in the same boat. All I can give at this point is my love and support.

[kt_luvs_kitties]

Thank you so much guys!

Richard, that is the perfect caption! LOL I needed a good laugh

Yes, he really does look wonderful. He is wobbly, but IS trying to eat on his own. His tounge is really swollen, and just reminds me of chopped meat. That must hurt so bad BUT he is very happy to be home. He is now napping comfortably on his HUGE dog bed. He gets med again at 3:30, and every 2 hours after.

I did finally after 2 days sit down and eat a bit. I feel so much better, although I am exhausted. I did not sleep at all last night, so in an hour or two after his next feeding(4 am) I will nap for a little while.

Thanks again, and Andy def. thanks you so much as well!

Edited to add: Cindy, I completely understand. Prayers are worth more to me anyday! And I am so thankful you prayed for my boy!
