I have had my cat for less than 2 months and through all that time she has been congested off and on. We saw the vet today and we found out that it might be nasal polyps. We are taking her for testing on Saturday to see if it may be a fungal infection or something that is not responding well to type of antibiotics we have been using. I'm so upset and frustrated. When we got her we had $1500 saved and I figured we'd save more as we went along. We would figure out if we would need pet insurance, etc. My husband has had cats all his life and had never had any serious problems with them. I guess when anybody takes in a new pet they expect it to be healthy unless otherwise told. I think what is upsetting me the most is that if we need a CT scan I don't know if we will even be able to afford surgery after that. I think that would wipe us out financially. I guess the reason I'm writing is for some sort of peace of mind. Has anyone had a similar experience? Knowledge about prices? What recovery would be like? How long can a cat go without the surgery?
