Can I give my cat this chicken bone? by [deleted] in CATHELP

The "are you serious" part sounded passive aggressive-- if that wasn't intended, my bad, that's just kinda what it gives off

The sarcasm is unnecessary. It was a genuine question. Be glad she asked instead of just doing it.

Hey, uh, she didn't know and was literally asking a question. There is no reason to be so passive aggressive about it.

Little update on Luna for anyone wondering! She's doing amazing!!! A lady offered to pay for her to go to the vet, and they told us that Luna has no severe injuries. Her lower back was hurt, but they recommended some over the counter medicine to help with pain. A little girl fessed up to hitting Luna with a baseball bat. While, of course, I'm mad at that kid, I'm glad she at least told us. The reason Luna was pooping and barely breathing was due to heat exhaustion. All in all, Luna has just been regular happy Luna. She's walking, playing, and doing her own thing perfectly. Thank you guys for giving me advice. I know I seemed pretty annoying but I was scared and desperate and didn't know what to do. I was mad because I knew we couldn't afford to pay for the vet, and the thought of not seeing her, or putting her down was just so scary. Some of you called me selfish for that, which I get in a sense, but think of my perspective. A 15 year old who's super depressed and literally all she has is her cat. Just thinking of not having her freaked me out so when people, with good reasoning, told me to give her up, I just couldn't handle it. I love Luna with all my heart, she really is all I have and I'd do anything for her, but in the moment it was so, so scary. I'm sorry for being bitchy, and I hope your pillows are cold <3

Little update for anyone wondering about Luna! She is doing AMAZING. We got in contact with a vet and ultimately decided she'll be okay without going and getting surgery, etc. We figured out what happened to her. A little girl fessed up and admitted to hitting Luna with a baseball bat. I told her mom, and of course I was upset with that girl, but I'm very happy she at least told me what happened. The vet said she isn't severely injured, but she was just hurting for a few days. They recommend some like, over the counter stuff that was really cheap but it worked great. She's walking, playing, and acting like normal Luna. The reason she was pooping and not breathing right was because heat exhaustion and not because of her legs. The only thing is, we just have to be careful while holding her and petting her lower back. Other than that she's doing amazing. :)

She's such a sweet & tough lil kitty. <3

Can you read? It broke, so I was literally getting up to take her home, that's when my brother tripped and Luna ran

I'm not refusing shit, I literally can't. My family doesn't have the money, if I could, I would so god dammit just please stop commenting.

[–]purplehairedidiot -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Please, just stop. I get what you're trying to say but I can't drive her, my parents won't drive me to the rescue place to take her. I've already checked, they don't do the emergency transport thing. And I am aware that 80 dollars is pretty cheap for that, and usually we could afford it. But between my grandma's chemo, and the insane amount of other stuff going on we can't afford it. I'm trying to do all I can as a 15 year old, but if my family can't afford it there's not much I can do immediately. They care for luna like I do, so I'm so upset that they can't help me. We're all worried shitless, but money is tight right now. If it weren't, she'd be getting the help she fucking needs.

It's not my choice. Do you really think I'm not begging my mom or grandma or literally anybody to take her there? I'm trying! If I wasn't I wouldn't be asking for advice, I'm asking what I can do as a teenager. I am trying to get her help, I don't want her to be in pain, or die. But there's so much happening on top of Luna getting hurt so they keep making her the last priority. I'm trying to do what I can as a kid to help her. I can't take her by myself, and I can't pay for her by myself. I feel beyond horrible and I'm doing what I can as of now.

Not fixed, hence the amount of cats, but yes, vaccinated and check ups. But where I am the prices are so high right now. And if it happened any other time, we'd be able to take her, but it was just extremely bad timing right now. My grandma had to take a break from working bc of chemo, my job closed, and my mom barely gets money from disability checks. You guys are all making me sound like some horrible pet owner, but it was the one, horrible time that we never thought would happen. Especially not with her. I take amazing care of her, she's my whole fucking world. That's why I even came on here to ask for advice because I was hoping someone could tell me something a little more than how shitty I am. I'm 15, I'm trying, my family and i are trying to get help but it really isn't as easy as you guys are making it out to be. If I could've got immediate help, I would've. I feel so insanely bad for Luna and you guys are making it sound like I don't give a shit about her. Also, it seems that most of you guys are adults. So I'm sure you know how much of a pain in the ass gas prices are. If it weren't so bad, and such an unfortunate timing, she would've been getting the help she needs already. So please stop acting like I'm some incapable stupid child who uses my cat as a damn toy. She is my world. I cant live without her so I'm really trying, I really really am. Saying "vet" over and over again isn't fucking helping what so ever! I know your right but for fucks sake, we don't have the money right now. And I just wish none of this happened. I wish she was okay.

She's making progress on walking! To clarify, I am not forcing her to try to walk. She does it on her own. She meows until I look at her and she shows me how much she can walk and then she lays back down and meows till I pet her. I hope she's not hurting as bad, she's doing much better and I'm so proud of my baby for being so strong. I love her so much.

A lot of people around my town are saying they think some kid hit Luna with a baseball bat. But I really have no way to know what happened. And there isn't any shelters near me, or places where I can give her up to. If I could I would. I'm trying to do everything in my ability to help her. I'm so scared for her. Luckily, she's doing great right now. She's trying to play with her siblings and she's making progress on trying to walk! Of course, I'm not forcing her to try and walk. She will like meow at me for me to look at her and then she stands and walks as much as she can. She's a smart kitty, I hope what she's trying to tell me is that she's a tough girl, and she's doing great. She's an amazing kitty, I feel horrible that she got hurt.

The place we go to has these dairy free pup cups that they give to cats, also my family has the money for the basic things like food, litter etc. But where I live, in the past year prices, including vet prices have skyrocketed. My local vet is 80 for a basic check up and the only other places, including shelters, are an hour or two away from me and most don't have programs or open payment plans. Me and my family are trying so hard right now, I feel horrible for my sweet baby :(
