Grrrr! Vent session! So I adopted a 17 year old cat last November in hopes of saving him from freezing and starving to death. Which he certainly would have if left where he was. I don't know what it was about him or maybe it was just me being my animal loving self but I had to try.
Slowly and with great care I have brought this cat back to good health. He grew all his hair back after a nasty flea infestation (He is hella allergic to them), put on 5 pounds or more, and was just being a happy, sleeping old
cat up until recently when his teeth decided to haunt him with pain. It was expected because he was a mess when I got him so I wasn't surprised when it happened.
So after many antibiotics, pain meds, etc. etc. $400 later I find out he has FIV which is untreatable. The way stupid thing is they didn't test him in the first place when they should of. Negligence on the doctors part.
And mind you I work at this place. I'm pissed!
Not so much that I spent that much but that I could of put the poor thing out of his misery. Not just FIV but kidney problems as well. All I can say is I did my best by him making him comfortable in the end.
I'm still deciding though whether to chance taking him home and let him live it out or just send him to heaven... I hate playing creator.
This is a miserable day.

I'v never bought a horse, but in passed life times I probably bought a goat or something and $400 is an expensive ride. It's like the casino always wins. - Some alternative cat medicine can heal kidneys.
