My cat's full of sh!t & I have the pictures to prove it.

I've been told by a couple of people if you get out of metro-Denver area that veterinarians charge a lot less. One guy said his dog's cancer treatment was going to cost over $2000 here in Denver. He was able to get the same treatment in Pueblo for $400. He has a sister there to help. If it isn't a emergency situation it might be worth calling around.

This is just hearsay, not personal experience.

Hope your cat buddy gets well.

This +1
My dad has made this statement in the past and through my wifes work we found a vet in Jeffco who is substantially lower cost.

Man, I hate when pets become ill... my cat has a sever under active thyroid and is skinnier than an Ethiopian during a drought, but we still feed her like she's Kristie Allie. But this reminds me of when my dog was acting up. I came home and found him on the couch acting a little skittish and almost had symptoms like he was having small seizures. He was even a little afraid of me and he, like Ginsue so eloquently put it, is my "little buddy." So after a visit to the vet and neuro tests and a good physical the doc finally asked "There isn't marijuana in the house is there?" I immediately remembered my little brother's boss gave him pot brownies for Christmas and called him to see if they were left sitting out. Sure enough, the dog ate 2 brownies and was stoned beyond what he could handle. Brother is not allowed to have pot in the house any more, and Bear (the dog) napped and ate like royalty! Scary, expensive and ended up kinda funny as an afterthought. Had me so worried. People who don't own pets, or treat them like one of the family just don't understand the lengths we go to keep our best friends healthy.

Thank you for showing restraint on pics of a rocket propelled cat.

+1 on that! I was thinking there was going to be pics or a video of a cat taking a dump half its size or something

A raw diet is the best way to go for a cat. Our last cat of 17 years died of kidney failure. My wife did a lot of research and found that a dry cat food diet will eventually cause this type of death. Another nice benefit of the raw diet is that the cat box odor was reduced by about 90%! Which is really great since the cat box is in the bedroom to keep the dog from extra treats. It's amazing what we will go through for our pets. To keep our cat going we gave him an IV every day for a year till his kidneys quit. Hope yours has a fast and full recovery!

The chocolate in those brownies coulda fawked him up too. Chocolate is bad juju for dogs.

It wasn't bakers chocolate (the worst kind for dogs)... but yes, chocolate is bad for dogs and all... and I heard that milk/ice cream is also bad for dogs, is this true?

We have raccoons that shit in the flower boxes,,, don't think a vet is gonna help.

$1000 later and they were only able to clear a few turds out of him. They sent him home last night after deciding that he'd work the rest out on his own and that they'd given him all the treatment they could at the moment.
