I have a cat that is about 18 (i have had her 12 years, shelter had her listed as 6 when i got her). Her health has started to deteriorate over the past few months. I am certain she has hyperthyroidism. We have been having huge medical issues so a vet visit is out of the question. i couldnt pay for a visit if i wanted to. and after reading for hours, it seems like medicine has mixed results at best.
anyway, i changed her food to a much higher quality and also got her a milk replacement designed for kittens that is high in protein. that was on a recommendation from a friend. she improved immediately, loving the milk and new food. she has a lot more life and energy than last week when it seemed she would die any minute.
we were cautiously optimistic that she would get better. then this morning my wife tells me she has a problem with her face. now there is a big hole in her face. i have no idea how it got there and it is frightening looking. she doesnt appear to be in pain, but obviously it is not a good thing. just wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what this might be from. i am panicking because like i said i dont have any money to take her to the vet. i might be able to on friday at the earliest, but not sure if she will make it. any advice is appreciated.
