And you can't do anything about it.I see her suffering and I feel like the greatest criminal on earth because I don't have money for the vet.She has pneumonia.I don't know how to make her suffer less.What can be done?

I'm so sorry Silver. It's sad to be losing a beloved pet, and not being able to do anything about it. She undoubtably needs antibiotics or other medical care. If that is out of the question, then really all you can do is keep her as comfortable as possible. Warmth, humidity, water and lots of love from you. If nothing else, it may ease her passing. I have belief that we all end up in better places, including our pets.

Thank you so much, dear.Your reply's so comforting.One woman from my house gave me some antibiotics she used for her cat.Now we're trying to help her.It would be a miracle.

This must be so sad and heartbreaking for you. Make sure she is comfortable, warm and calm and if she still eats, give her some of her favorite snacks. Communicate your love for to her. Our pets understand more than we think. I am sure she is grateful to you for the difference you have been able to make in her life. Everybody gets old and die. Us humans too.

Yes,I'm trying to keep her warm and comfortable,and talk to her softly.Thank you for your support.I won't show her my sadness because she doesn't show her weakness.She has more strength than I do now. I think I'll be able to help others with this thing in the future.

Is there no organization such as the humane society that can help?

hi,every one do not hav the feelings for animals .We humans are living for ourselfish needs.So the other creatures which are depending on us will hav to suffer.God is almighty he sees every living thing equal.Try ur way to help it .If u cant then please dont hav pet animals, it is punishment to them as well as u.If you dont knw the caring way then please dont hav pets.i hav pets and i knw the problems.i went to the vetenary doctors as these were cats they didnt get good treatment and in India people are not interested to have cats as pets.they think its foolish ness to hav them.Having many of them had caused me much into trouble.

you need to bring her to the vet. If she is suffering depending on were you live that is against the law not having the money is an excuses and not a good enough reason allowing an animal to suffer or not providing necessary veterinary care is a horrible thing to do. take her to the vet even if you have to borrow money from someone if u still cant aford it take her to a shelter so they can do it
