I had to bring Edgar(my cat) to the emergency room again last night. He had to spend the night and I just got home with him. He had a urinary tract blockage. This is a condition I thought he had twice before but he didn't. Its a life threatening condition. The poor thing has been dealing and suffering with these symptoms for weeks now on and off. I'm happy to have him home but I'm also very sad because he's at such a high risk of this happening again. The vet basically said its not a question of if this will happen again its when. Apparently this happens to male cats a lot and its potentially a lifelong condition. It could happen in the next few days or in 2 years. One of the major problems with this aside from him suffering is it costs a lot to have him treated. I actually could not afford their recommended treatment so I went with a cheaper alternative. I feel terrible about this. I totally feel he is worth every penny but I just don't have the money so today I talked with the vet about what I can do when this happens again. My options are to surrender him or put him to sleep. Two options I don't like. I'm so sad over this. Just the thought of losing him makes me want to cry. He's my friend and he's family. I just lost my dad a few weeks ago and now this.

Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...

In all it's splendid colour!!I'm up for a very short time I hope...It's too early for me but I always seem to have these early awake times where I'm not quite ready to get upAnother chore day for me as I didn't get done all I wanted to yestetdayI hope that your day is blessed...xo
I have worked hard to save a little each month to have a little Rascal fund so that when he gets ill I have a bit there... Will you family help you to pay for it if you pay them back some at a time.. I had a friend who let me use her credit card once and I took 3 months to pay her back
The vets will often work with you... They have with me... and she'll talk to me on the phone if I can't afford to bring Rascal in... Even though they say they won't work without payment.. When they get to know and trust you I have found they have let me make a couple of payments..
Huge hug for you and Edgar and a blessing... Try not to worry as much as you can about what might happen tomorrow sweetie... That can really eat you up and hopefully tomorrow will be a good day....xo
All the other pet owners out there I truly recommend pet insurance. It has saved my butt numerous times. The only problem is they don't cover pre-existing conditions
I'm so sorry you going through this
A big hug to you((((hugs))))
This is so hard. I know we are all mortals but I hate losing my loved ones.... I will put you and Edgar on the prayer list and I will keep you there......
