Our friends from the Cat Blogosphere have set up a fund for Bear's ultrasound. He is getting it tomorrow, the vet agreed to let us get it if I gave him the $60 that I have left. We still need $220 for the rest of the payment. Here is the link to donate: Bear's Fund Every single penny counts! We really thank you!
I just heard from the vet, the ultrasound lady finally called him back and she is coming tomorrow!!! I had to reallly bargin with him though. He said it is $280. I asked and the way it works is you pay the clinic, and they write a check to the lady the same day. I told him that I just maxed out my Care card and that I only have $80 in my pocket, and that I needed $20 to pay my care bill this month - That all I could give him was the $60 right now and I would pay him asap. He started to say that I could pay $160 a month, but I explained to him that I honestly would not have that to give him, that the best I could do was $50 (that is realllly stretching it too) but I told him when my next refund check came from school that I would give him all of it if I had to. He finally agreed. God I love my vet! No idea when I will get my next refund check, it may be months since I just got one (it came the day before Bear got sick, and I used every penny of it for his vet care). I need to pay it off asap because they could refuse to keep treating Bear until I pay them. I am having a hard enough time trying to pay for Bear's meds, I don't know if they will let me charge those to my account too. When I get there tomorrow I will explain that I am trying to get donations to help pay for the ultrasound, he was very hesitant to agree to do it.
So I still need the help, but now we have more time to get it. I understand if anyone is leary of helping. If you want to help but are worried that I am lying about my situation, I would be happy to email you scans of Bears vet bills, bloodwork, and give you the name and phone number of my vet clinic. I am in the process of setting up a "Pitch In" account, I will update when I have it ready. Bear threw up this morning, but he kept everything else down. He ate about 1/4 cup of baked chicken, a few pieces of Iams dry cat food, and a couple Temptation treats. I am about to go feed him and give him his fluids, poor fellow. I will keep this updated, thanks for reading! |
