When it rains, it pours… With your help, we managed to get through a month of heavy bills — but as can happen, that wasn’t the end of it.
I am sorry to report that we have a very sick kitty. Dusty, our most senior cat and Ann’s special pet, is feeling very unwell. In the last couple days, she suddenly became very lethargic and unresponsive. So we took her to the vet yesterday and learned that Dusty has kidney trouble.
The good news is that Dusty’s condition may be managed at this point with special food. And if necessary, sub-Q fluids will help her. She got sub-Q fluids yesterday at the vet — and a shot of Vitamin B-12. And we came home with a couple flavors of renal diet food for her to try. Last night, she did eat her new food which brought a sigh of relief to us.
We put Dusty on a wellness plan because she will need future visits. Under the plan, those visits will be covered at no extra cost for a year. The plan also covered yesterday’s blood test but won’t cover the next tests that Dusty will need. Since we live pretty close to the bone, we would like to pay off Dusty’s plan and provide some cushion for the food (which is spendy) and future tests. And so we are extending the Pootie Pad sale for a little longer. Your purchases will help a beloved pet recover and feel good in her fur once more.
