Marble and her pregnancy: Advice is appreciated.

I am looking up places right now but my bf has work at 3 pm and i cannot drive. The earliest we could go would be tomorrow or an after hours vet which I'm trying to avoid due to costs. She's not currently on any medical plan so whatever we have to pay will be out of pocket unfortunately.

Is there someone else who could take you?

It's only 11:30am here in Florida. Please make some phone calls now. There may be someone who can see her quite soon before he goes to work today.

I agree. Do not wait until tomorrow. Find a vet that can take you ASAP and get in before your boyfriend leaves for work at three. Find a friend who can drive you or a family member. This is too important to wait. It could make all the difference.

No i only just moved here in June so i don't know anyone else here. His friends live too far and are all at work already.

He went to get his title renewed on his car. I'm waiting on him to get back. I've found a vet with alot of good review but i have no clue what they cost. I'll just ask if they do payment plans.

You need to tell the vet she is older, has seizures, is around day 68-70, and has been at this for several days. They may want to induce, or they may want to go ahead with a c-section.

Payment plan is a good idea.

Will he be back soon?

Have you looked into care credit.

I've been calling places but most places cannot see her today or do not do payment plans for new clients. Most also say that an appointment is needed or earliest that they can see her is tomorrow morning.

He's trying to hurry but it's rush hour and so..yeah nothing is working. I'm so frustrated right now.

What is care credit

We might be stuck with an emergency vet anyways.

Where in Tampa are you located? What zip code?

Is there a Pet Smart with a Banfield Animal Hospital nearby?

Even the emergency vet will require a deposit.

Care credit is a credit card that will pay the vet and allows you to pay it back monthly. It's for vets and medical procedures for people. You can apply online.

What is the cat doing right now?

She's just relaxing and purring but she could tell i am worried and kept trying to climb in my lap or on my back.

There is a banfield nearby here in st. Pete. The reviews are hit and miss and it closes at 8. He won't be back in time to take her before work.

Could you take a cab?

No I cannot. One doesn't drive out where i am located and i would have no way of getting back into the complex if i did that.

A cab from Tampa to St. Pete would cost you an arm and a leg. So everyone knows, I am about an hour from Tampa myself.

Make an appointment for tomorrow morning with a vet you feel confident about who can see her and let's hope she has them before then.

Find the location of the nearest emergency vet in the meantime in case you need them during the night.

Let's hope for the best. Has she been having seizures or drooling?

Well no they've not been happening as much since her earlier weeks. She actually hasn't had one at all since nesting. She always has had some excessive saliva but not all the time either. Seriously, she's acting fine but I'm just a huge worry wart and we are going first thing tomorrow if she hasn't had them by then.

It's good she's not having seizures lately. Hopefully labor will not bring them on.

You have every reason to be concerned. If we count from the day after her last day out, she's at 68 days, which is not bad. It's just she appears to be in and out of labor for quite a few days now.

Try to relax and let's see what happens today. Keep us posted.
