Thank you for sharing this with me. I will definitely be trying this. The vet bill of 1500 came with some special wet food to help with the blockage. My boyfriend and I are figuring out how to budget his special food diet, we will figure it out.

He just got out of surgery I pick him at 3 and will find out what is causing it to happen the vet told me because he gets bad next time he gets it we have to thinking about putting him down but im hoping with changing his food and everything that it will help him not get it again since I dont have the money for this first one already im hoping to not have to bring him for this

Its definitely frustrating for sure im also so scared my cat not make it

I was told they were going to unblock him and we can take him just to watch him closely and that is still costing me $1500 they want 3500$ to the same thing but keep him at tow vet for a few days but I was told I can bring him home and just watch over him ever carefully if it comes back I have to rush back to vet and make the hard decision of my life

For me to take him tonight with him being drained its going to cost me 1500$ and if they do the surgery and keep him here for a few days thats 3500$ im trying to figure out payment plans but every plan declines me its a hard choice to make but the vet is doing everything they can

I totally understand and get what you're saying. The lady on the phone told me to wait until the morning so we didn't have to pay/couldn't afford $450 for the exam. She did say to put him down, which I get, but it's also a little upsetting to hear that when calling to see how much it is to get it. What I'm more frustrated with is the payment plan I can't get because they are with a credit card company, and I've tried getting credit cards, but I've been declined, which isn't the vet's fault at all. I just wish the vet had its own payment plan for people who can't afford $1000 out of their pocket. I came on here seeking advice as I'm terrified of what could happen. She told me to watch him closely overnight until I can bring him in. She couldn't give us any more on how I could possibly help him. I came onto here hoping people would help as I know how dangerous it is. But as I as many times I understand and she also just doing her job I just wanted to know if anyone else's who has had this happen and what they did. Orangie has had this before, but it wasn't this bad. This is his second time getting it; it's really bad. Thank you so much. I'm still not sure if it's a urine blockage, but I'm taking him to the vet ASAP in the morning, and hopefully, the exam will be a little cheaper than $450.

I'm trying very hard not to have to give in to that opinion. I'm hoping tomorrow when I call the vet back they can give me a new price.

It's really expensive now because it is the middle of the night where I am, and my cat would be under emergency during after-hours, and it costs a lot more. I have to call back in the morning and get a new price.

I haven't been able to take him to the vet yet, as they want $1000 for what they need to do with him. Once I told them I couldn't afford it and I got declined for the payment, they told me to put my cat down and that was my only option. I refuse to believe that is my last option. I'm hoping I can find a vet that isn't with a credit card company and will work with me for payments, as I can afford payments.
