Need your Prayers for Emily

[mrspunkysmom]

I've been able to get Tapazole as a topical ear cream from my vet. It's $36 for 3 mL, which lasts 15 days for my cat's needs.

That is so out of my budget. I will have to endeavor with the much cheaper pills. Once I get going with some tutoring and other odd jobs, Maybe I can switch over.
My outgoing is more than my incoming. I've had to borrow from friends and family.

In other news, my vet of 7 years, on and off, mostly on, will not let me make payments over time. I tried for Care Credit again and was denied. SIGH. So now to find a new vet. Or beg for money. There is a local group that helps out.

Emily is a survivor, but I'm really worried about Sam. I think he has had a reaction to flea bites. He's hiding right now but eating, in the cupboard of all places. I'm wondering if that is where he got the fleas. It's not used. He knows how to open cupboard doors.

He got flea med tonight topical. I'm trying for capstar later and some tapeworm meds.

I need your prayers.

So how do I get Tapazole in a cream for the ears? The compounding pharmacy locally is outrageous.

Just replying to this because I've been fighting this with Yodee. When I first brought her home she was on the pills. Her T4 went down so her med was cut in half. Then she started to lose her appetite so I asked and received the cream for the ear. I was giving her that for about 4 or 5 days and during that time she went back to the vets for a lion cut because she was covered with mats and I'd lose a hand or both if I tried to groom her. I also noticed that her appetite increased dramatically.
Test results came back yesterday and her T4 is up again so tonight I've started her on the pills again. I crush them and put them in some very fishy stinky wet food that she likes. She didn't eat much of that but I'm hopeful that by the time I go to bed most of it is eaten. I can pill her but she hates it and gags sometimes.

It's a never ending process. **sigh** Prayers for Emily coming your way. I feel your pain.

Yes, and thank you. Emily watches me and won't eat it if I put something in her food. She runs from the syringe. I want her to flourish but..... perhaps it is enough to keep her stable and not peeing everywhere.

Tapeworm meds are next

1800PetMeds will compound most meds and they are at a very reasonable price. I do NOT have any spare money at all, but I could afford Mac's meds in compounded form if I had to. I get Mac's Methamizole from PetMeds at about 1/5 the price my vet charges me for them.

At .49 tablet, it is 2.50 per month more expensive than my personal pharmacist. My vet charged 36 a month. I get it as 12.50 per month

And the compound is $7 more than my vet.

If I were to get the larger bottles, it would be cheaper over time. hmmmm

However, "This product cannot be shipped into NC or SC." What? I'd send it to my brother but he lives in NC. Wow!

But thanks for the thought.

Anne, do you have a PayPal account? There's several of us that don't have a lot of money, but would like to help you out with Emily. You could just take the money to your vet.

What do you think?
