Hello everyone. Just joined this site to seek some advice.
I have a female, 1 year old, ragdoll cat from a breeder. She has been very healthy her whole life up until 3 months ago when she got a UTI.
She has been to a vet nurmorus times now, we have tried many kinds of medication, even trial stuff.
The vet says the next step is an X-ray to see if if she has crystals and estimated me $400 then thousands for surgery if that's it.
I have gone through my vet savings these last few months with vet visits and different medications and can no longer afford anything else.
Weird thing about the medication, it will work for a few days then she is right back to pain.
I am a college student and live with roommates who want her gone NOW because she is peeing on absolutely everything. I love her so much but I just don't know what to do. She is becoming even more miserable every single day because she is having to stay locked up in her travel kennel every day I am gone at school and then when I'm at home she has to stay on a short leash by my side to stop her from being able to pee on everything. I already owe all my roommates hundreds of dollars for things she has peed on and ruined.
I am to the point that I just can't keep her as it's not even healthy for her.
I've asked my vet and he said maybe just take her to a shelter and see if she finds a home or think of having her put to sleep and I really really don't want to do that, not to mention I can't even afford it.
