So to start off, I’m 17. I own a cat with a chronic disease (it’s unknown without doing horrible amounts of testing, we just know the symptoms and how to treat for it). Basically right now my problem is this: my mom refuses to take her to the vet. She’s constantly belittling the problems that I tell her is wrong with my cat, and I can’t get any answers or help for her because of it. Right now, she’s itching horribly (from what I assume to be a type of allergy) and the symptoms of her disease are worsening because my mom hasn’t taken the initiative to get a refill on her prescription. I know that money isn’t a problem right now, so there’s nothing stopping her; I don’t know why she won’t at least let my cat have a check up.
Since I’m a minor, I can’t set up an appointment myself, and I’m not really sure what to do. It’s really painful to see my cat suffer the way she does.
If anybody has any advice, please let me know.
For the itching, I’ve tried giving her coconut oil and switching up her food but I’m honestly not sure what’s causing the reaction in the first place.
