Oh no! I wouldn't PTS! I meant when the disease takes hold they pass in a couple of days. IF she was positive still I wouldn't prolong her life for my sake. I'd know it was time to let go after living a happy, loved, cared for, life. However, long it would be. I'm talking about interferon, and

The problem is with the cared for life. I flat cannot afford to care for them. I've tried to raise money for their care. I spent $1000 on vet bills last month. I have 3 left to test and vaccinate and I can't even do that. I can't even get people to share their fundraising link, let alone

Re: [Felvtalk] Holistic vs traditional vets for felv

I can't pay anything. I'm trying to figure out how to eat and feed the cats and buy cat litter. We have a low cost spay neuter clinic here - the one who recommended euth on the basis of one positive test. The price is of a test is $32. Sent from my iPhone On Mar 15, 2014, at 3:33 AM,

I used to have care credit before I had to declare bk after I became disabled and went on social security disability. My vet takes it with a minimum charge of $200. Seriously doubt they will approve me again and if they did I'd just be digging a deeper hole. Sent from my iPhone On Mar 14,

I don't think it's that people don't care. If you are mostly asking and sharing the link with other people on lists like this, it's that most of us are flat out and caring for many animals too. Do you have a Facebook page with a bunch of friends and family? If so, look at Go Fund Me online. A

Hi Michelle, They have a fundraising page on youcaring.com. Like I said I can't even get folks to share it. I can make them a Facebook page. I'm just very very discouraged. It has been shared 19 times in over a week. I don't fault anyone for not giving. Just explaining harsh realities.

Yes that was just for whoever said the interest rate was low. It is not. But they do have a 6 month interest free option. Thanks to a donation I almost have enough to take one of them to the vet. It is 35 dollars for the holistic vet with a discount on Wednesdays. I'm feeling better

Re: [Felvtalk] Holistic vs traditional vets for felv

Kelley, I can certainly understand your dilema. Some FelV cats never get sick, but if they do you will have a lot of veterinary expense. Our lost cost clinic isn't cheap either, and if you are struggling just to buy cat food and litter I hope you can rehome the FelV cats. Lorrie On 03-15,

Re: [Felvtalk] Holistic vs traditional vets for felv

Sometimes we get enough in donations to cover food and litter for several months. If not I have to cover it out of pocket which is where things get dicey. When possible I feed diamond indoor hair ball control kibble which is at least corn and wheat free. I know the first thing this vet is
