Welcome to Pet Talk & enjoy the talks & pics..

Well I looked up what you said your baby has && yes it is a Dental Teeth issue.. On the computer it states it can be caused from how many teeth the feline has.. Also states it can be caused from the way the teeth came in as a kitten to a adult.. So you might want to do what I did & look up on the computer & just read all about it.. It does sound as if the baby is to be in alot of pain with this.. Sending Lots of Prayers & Huggss.. Good Luck & Keep Us Posted ok..

I've never been confronted w/this issue so all I can offer are prayers that all will be well w/your kitty. Keep looking for a new vet, though, until you find one that you like and that you can either afford or who will take payments. Most vets will if you make arrangements in advance and not after your cat has been treated. Good luck and please update us.

For sure there has to be a Vet that will take payments.. I cant even think a Vet would think you could dish out $1,000.00 to 2,000.00 in a lump summ.. Now can you go back to the first Vet??

Just 2 of many reasons many vets, particularly specialist or ER vets don't take payments.

I've seen these things firsthand at work even from the old lady who cried like a baby and swore on her childrend's lives (no joke that's what she said) that she'd make the payments. Oh she did, in the end only ended up paying for less than half and had to be turned over to collections. The hospital got stiffed over $500 in that one alone. Guess who makes up the difference in lost income? The regular paying client in higher fees.

A separate credit card just for the pets, and/or a savings acct you put in a set amount each week for emergencies is a very good idea in case of emergencies.

Google Care Credit - they have a good loan plan for pets. No interest if paid back in the first 3 months.

And get a second opinion too!
