Back in August my cat had a UTI and at the same time was diagnosed with diabetes. The vet gave her antibiotics for the UTI and insulin. They started her on 2 units of insulin twice a day but she had stopped eating so the vet took her off the insulin. He was supposed to call me back about when to start the insulin again but he never did and in the meantime I lost my home along with my phone. I have been force feeding my girl for the past two months with baby food meats and a tongue depressor. She weighed almost 12 pounds and she is now down to about 5. She has almost no interest in food at all and I cannot even get her to lick the depressor. I have to pry her teeth apart and force it into her mouth. I am so worried I don't know what to do. I have no money because I lost my job and my home. I can use the pc's at the library to get your answers. Please help if you can. Thank you, Katja

is there an SPCA nearby? have you gone there yet? they can provide emergency vet care for people who have financial troubles. if you have good credit they can arrange a payment plan. but even if you have bad credit they can figure something out for you.

i went there recently and was broke at the time...i have horrible credit and did not qualify for the care payment plan. but i was very nice and respectful to them and I assured them that i could pay by the end of the month and they were able to work out a payment arrangement for me. good luck!

Thank you. Yes I will try that. I don't know if there is an spca but will find out. Thanks again.
