[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My cat is nearing 21 years old. She is basically in good health, so long as she gets her prescription cat food which costs $100/month. If we take her off of it, she is noticeably ill within two to three days. She doesn't do anything more than sleep, potty and eat. She doesn't cuddle very often anymore.

We've always provided her with great care which ideas part of why she had lived so long but our circumstances have drastically changed over the past year and now $100 is a significant chunk of money for us each month even after cutting expenses to the bone (i.e. No cable, no eating out ever, no anything extra and bargain shop for everything.) We have a child now to think about too.

Friends have said it's time to put her down but I just don't know. She seems to be still having a happy existence and does not look her age at all. She loo looks remarkably healthy.

What to do?[/quote]

What does your vet think? Your vet might also have resources to help with the food cost.[/quote]

I opened up to the vet about this twice and her response was just like "well, them's the breaks..."

Thanks for the tips from other PP's about coupons. I didn't know prescription food could have coupons. We recently started buying the food at Pets Mart instead of from the vet. Maybe PM has promotions I should look for. [/quote]
