question about Zoey

[Catlady711]

yea. so I just called one of the Vets in Cleveland Ohio and they said she does need to be seen but the office visit is 72$. and I can not afford that right now! I have been sick for 2 weeks and I am paying my doctors bills from then.. any idea what Icould do?

Try calling around to a few different vets and see if anyone in your area has cheaper prices. Most vets will take credit cards, and some will take payment arrangements or even post-dated checks.

Regardless of which ever option you go with, get your cat to a vet ASAP!!

$72 could be a drop in the bucket if it requires an emergency surgery or several days of hospitalization/tests/medications.

The longer you wait the more expensive it gets!! Your cats life could be at risk here!

I know that the big veterinary hospital here in Boston offers payment plans, so you can just pay a part of your bill every month. Catlady is right - the longer you wait, the more it'll cost, and not just in money...

Believe me...get the cat to the vet...if she was spayed incorrectly, and there is still a uterus in there, she could have pyometra-an infection of the uterus, where pus fills up and comes out. She will die if this is not treated-usually only an emergency spay would help. So, like everyone else said, get her to the vet NOW.

ok, so I made her an appointment for tomorrow morning at 10am. I am either writing a post dated check or using my debit/credit card... IF i were to use my debit /credit card, what does this mean exactly? will they take out from it right then or what?

Oh lordy.. I looked at the other Zoee name, Taz-Zoee, and thought it was the same one. Infection info still stands the same.

Normally when you use a debit or credit card, the funds are taken out at that point. Usually debit goes immediately, and depending on the visa/mc handling, that can take up to 2 days to show up, but a hold is put on the account for a certain amount so that they can insure they will have funds for it to be paid.

I agree with the person who said to take her now, because if you wait, she could become seriously ill and require surgery, which will be much more expensive. Also you don't want her to be so ill from the infection that it's fatal.

thanks. I am going to use Doxyvet, for dogs and cats.. she has an UTI... anyone ever use this antibiotic?

One thing about debit vs credit card - debit comes directly out of your bank account, just as if you had taken money out.

Credit card - you can wait about a month to pay the cost on there, it doesn't come out of your bank account. (Unless you have set up a monthly payment to your card.)

A credit card buys you time - and gives you a chance to save up to pay the total bill.

Hope your Zoey is ok!

Is this what the vet said? Did he do any other exam or give you any other suggestions, or a reason why there's an infection with discharge?

I take it that you were able to get in for an appt. today rather than tomorrow?

A UTI is painful, ouch. Glad you were able to find a vet that could get you in sooner.

Doxyvet's main active ingredient is Doxycycline Hydrochloride which we use on occasion at our hospital in the capsule form.
