I'm beside myself. This week it's Mishi's turn, however he's taken a really bad turn. It's been difficult getting him to eat in the past week and I've noticed a marked weight loss - he's a kidney cat and I know this is normal for kidney cats who are declining, but this is scary.
He's been hospitalized for fluids and syringe feeding. The minimum this will cost is around $900. I really don't have the money - I'm in a debt management program and trying to pay off my bills so incurring this kind of debt is going to place a financial burden on me. I can put it on the one emergency credit card I have, but I really can't continue to pile on the debt - that defeats the purpose of the debt management program and I can get thrown out of the program if I abuse it.
I do not qualify for iMOM - I've read their rules. I've talked to the vet and depending on what his bloodwork shows, I may be able to give him the care he needs at home - I'm fine with giving him Sub-Q's and syringe feeding. It will be stressful as I'm really pressed for time these days, but I can do it.
So, I guess, pretty much all I'm asking for is prayers and good vibes that Mishi responds quickly to the treatment. I know the big boy doesn't have much time left on this side of the bridge, but I'm not ready to lose him just yet.
