I took my cat to the vet to get unblocked and not 24 hours later he was blocked again. I paid a $2000 vet bill and now they’re telling me that I have to pay another 2000 to do the blockage again but I don’t have the funds to do that And I’d like to get a PN so this doesn’t happen again, but I don’t have the funds to do it, and the vet told me to euthanize him. But that’s not fair. I wanna try to save his life if I can They told me to surrender him please. I need some advice. I don’t know what to do. I’m just blowing my eyes out every day.

I had no choice, but to go back and get him unblocked once more and put him on IV drip. He is peeing a little bit. A kind soul stepped forward & helped me with the payment unfortunately he couldn’t do the PU cause it was to much. But we got him unblocked again. I think the IV fluids helped the second time around. So I’m praying he gets through this. I have a strict diet. CD wet food mixed with water. He’s drinking eating and peeing not a lot but frequently. Please pray he gets through this with me.… Read more »
