It is just a standard issue eye infection that seems to not want to clear up, I think due to antibiotic resistance, but it could be anything.
It is most likely on top of the leukemia she has herpes since as I said I didn't think the lysine was helping but it was without me knowing it.
As I said I ordered more before I realized it was helping because even if it wasn't working I still didn't want to take them off it. It was supposed to be delivered today but it wasn't so I'm sure I'll get it tomorrow.
When the vet calls me back I'll discuss these with him. He said he is also going to look into herbal boosters, that he'll have to contact someone with experience on this so I do like that he is willing to look 'outside the box' of traditional medicine to help them. It tells me that he really wants to help me and Attitude to get better and help Nuts at the same time. I know he knows how much money I have spent in the past month on vet bills trying to get her better. I'm not neglectful, if I notice her eye flaring up and I can't get it to clear I'm in there as soon as they can get me in, I'm not waiting until it's really bad.
I love them and will do anything for them, but he knows I'm not made of money and even he thought $500 for the Interferon was a total rip-off, he said he wouldn't be willing to pay that much for it(and I'm sure he could afford it) and would be looking for alternatives if it was his own animals. It was $80- $100 for 2 cats for a 10 week course, now it's $500 which is totally outrageous.
An aid organization would be nice if anyone knows of any that will not balk at helping kitties with leukemia.
I hate admitting I can't afford something and that I'm poor. It's embarrassing and why I truly refuse to go on public assistance even though I know if I get welfare they will help me find a job. through welfare to work. I have looked and looked and looked for a job and there is nothing to be had. I can't work fast food, the smell is too much, not to mention I'm so overqualified they wouldn't hire me. I can do stand up jobs as long as I am provided a place to sit to do the job when my feet or back acts up, just a stool(that keeps me above counter height so I can still perform my job without issue. I'm not lazy and I need a job and will do what I need to to help my cats but no one is hiring and they do have to something for me to sit on through ADA since it is a reasonable accommodation and doesn't effect my ability to preform the job. I can still walk and get places I need to to help customers I just can't be strictly on my feet mostly standing in on one place for 8+ hours. This is for my cats so i have to swallow my pride just as I would if it were Bobby. Attitude and Nuts aren't cats they are my furry kids.
Like I said if you know of any organization that might be able to assist me I'll be most grateful. I want to help them and do the best thing possible for them, just as I would if it were Bobby. I'd apply for Carecredit if I could but they won't cover the Interferon which is what I actually need the assistance in paying for.
If anyone know any place that can help me I would be so so grateful. I hate having to ask for help but this is more important than my pride.
Thank you so much in advance I know you should be able to help me.
