I started noticing what appears to be a little blood stain under Bugsy's chin, and under close inspection, I saw that his gingivitis got much MUCH worst. It bled from touching today, which scares me, as Bugsy is overweight, and if he stops eating he can develop HL in a snap.
So now is the time to act and get ready to take him to the dentist...... problem is.... I have no $$$ or job, or a way to apply for credit, as I can't pay without a job.
Dr. Robert Wiggs, his Dentist to be, was a hope to me, as he has developed a treatment to Stomatitis/Gingivitis, that requires no surgery, and puts cat into complete remission. It is under Trial phase, and it is not out there yet - very close to be approved by the FDA... People travel from ALL OVER the US to get treated by him... Some people from outside of the US... (If interested you can google him, he is all over).
Well... he was my hope as not only he was on my back yard, but this is also a gradual treatment... I wouldn't need to pay for EVERYTHING upfront. He was also very close to my vet, and that was comforting to me...
Imagine my surprise when I call in to confirm the pricing for an appointment with his (BRILLIANT) dentist, just to find out that he died...
So... I am still speechless... But... I hang up the phone and told them I am going to call them back... I didn't even know what to say!
Anyways... now that I shared the shock....
I think I am going to take him to the same place, as I am sure someone there must be carrying his legacy and his treatment... This is also the place my vet referred me to, and the only one he says he trusts...
It is dental plus a drug treatment he developed... Again, kind of secretive until receives FDA approval as far as all the exact contains, but the guy was no small fish - He was a founding member (1976) and President (1995-96) of the American Veterinary Dental Society. He was also a member of the first group of veterinarians inducted as Fellows of the Academy of Veterinary Dentistry, and was President of the Academy from 2003-2005... Gotta trust what he does...
So.... $80 that I don't have only to walk through the doors to have them tell me what to do, and then go from there... That is my first step... that $80...
I am counting that the dental procedure should be around $300 (cleaning only).
I have a few things to sell, and need to the absolute best to get the best amount of $$$ for them... So I need Ideas for and and if anybody has experience with fund raising? I can't just sell it for the least price... It needs to be for fund raising to help him...
Anybody has any ideas, experiences? I do have a going website, if that makes it easy...
Here is what I have that comes to mind that I can sell:
A slightly used unlocked Blackberry Curve Titanium 8320 with everything;
A digital Photo Frame - 7.0 Brand New
I also have 3 professional hair shears, and one hair thinner...
A portable DVD player that I probably used once, or twice...
There is a beautiful piece of tapestry from Brazil too...
And I can get thousands of professional Beauty products to resell too...
BTY - Bugsy WILL be taken to the vet for a depo-medrol shot and antibiotics IF I can not take him to the dentist before that becomes necessary. I just want to make sure you ALL KNOW HE WILL NOT GO WITHOUT CARE. This is not the case here...
However, Depo has very bad effects on him, and I don't want to put him on it anymore - I don't want to put him on unnecessary clindrops either...
Bugsy is eating, drinking and using the box normally... He is not shaking his head while eating, or exhibiting any sign of pain...
Any help with ideas, experiences are truly appreciated......................
What do you guys think I can do? Sorry if I don't make sense... my thoughts are all over the place here... Man... This is TOUGH!
Oh, last thing -
He does have insurance, but it doesn't cover dental or anything related to this disease.
Thanks!
