As few have known those who have responded to my last discussion. My 1 year old cat alexia and it was possibly my now 3 month old kitten had gotten sick from what we thought were possibly treats. I was trying to get advice and everything and I was having a bit of trouble getting help from vets.
Well my update is, well the 3 month old we don't think got effected at all. This is like 3 weeks ago. She had thrown up for one day and that was it. She most likely had fur balls. Well any way, alexia was getting worse. My friend who lived in another state that she knew of a vet she could ask questions to. So I was advised to give her yogurt twice a day to settle her stomach. Well we did that for about a week and alexia stareted getting better. She begin to eat and everthing and drink water and well she is still alive. We didn't lose her, but she's gaining all her weight back. While she was sick she lost a lot of weight.
Well, still no one has helped us at all and no one wanted to unless we had like $500 dollars up front which we didn't. People said they'd call back and never did and I continued calling still nothing. So I was stuck with a sick cat. None of the shelters would help either not even the one we got her from.
But well we're keeping a close eye on her, and each day she's beginning to act like her old self again and the 3 month old kelly is active and running around.
Thanks for all who helped the best way they could.

That's the one thing I have come to hate about vets in general. The same to only care about what money they are going to get, and quite often vets won't work on pets unless they recieve money up front. I know this discussion is six months old, but as of this update I'm glad to know she's appearing to be doing well. I've gone through a lot of sick cats in my lifetime so I know how it can be. Good luck glad your cats are doing okay or so it seems.

It is so true that we have only seen that happen. But our cats are alot better and I'm at least grateful for that. I don't know if maybe if it would have been different if maybe we had a vet already. But I would think that vets care very much about animals and would want to do anything that it takes to make sure that the animals are healthy. But yet when vets see you don't have enough money to pay up front, they turn you away and don't care.

It is sas they would not even look at your poor sick kitty unless you paid that out ragous amount of money. They should not be trying to charge you that much money for a simple office visit. That is highway robbery. I am glad you got the advice about the yogurt and that it worked for the kitty, I hope she continues to get better.
