I recently had a serious medical issue that cost me everything I had in the bank; over $20K. Until then I always could afford vet care for my cat. Now I can't. He has developed some sort of gastrointestinal problem, and $350.00 later, no one can find the cause. Now they want to do biopsies, surgery etc. estimated at over $1,000.00 or $100.00 to put him down. Well, I guess we know which one I will choose...I won't watch him suffer, and I can't afford to
treat him further. I read the comment on this site related to cost of vet care...I don't think even if I stop eating completely I can afford his surgery.
When I had the money, I have paid for other people's vet care. Why doesn't some organization take this up as a cause? Not everyone who can't afford vet care smokes or drinks up all their money!
