[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lot of hard hearted people on here. $700 is not going to make or break a college tuition. And if I had it, I would pay it. No, it's not your cat. You don't want it. Etc. But sometimes we do things we don't want to do.

The test is prob an an endoscopy and I had a cat in a similar position a few years back. Ulcers and required some meds and has been (fingers crossed) fine for a number of years now. However, it could be cancer or something not treatable.[/quote]

This is the OP. If I pay for the test, I will have to pay for the meds. I will also have to have her read me the vet's instructions by phone (We don't live in the same city. She doesn't know how to use a computer or a smart phone). She has significant learning disabilities and schizophrenia. Then I will have to call her every day to tell her to give the cat the meds. If the meds have to be mixed into food or given by injection, she may not have the capacity to follow the instructions. If the cat has a reaction, does not get better, has side effects, etc, I will then have to deal with that situation from 150 miles away. And that is just cat number 1.

Somebody suggested calling the humane society. I called and they will provide medical care to the cat if she surrenders it. That is not going to be a good conversation. They did not have recommendations for low cost vets, unfortunately.

I appreciate the suggestions for DMV vets, but she lives in Canada.[/quote]
If she has significant learning disabilities I’d be concerned about her being taken advantage of and even if she was not how can she follow a vets instructions? It sounds like this cat she be rehomed or at least taken from her until the cat is well. [/quote]
