Hi all, we're baaack! I have 4 {down from 6} kitties; all under a year. I recently had them all spayed/neutered and 2 had ear mites! They were treated with _____________ at the time of surgery, but apparently not cleaned out! One of them....Lilbit...has been scratching, pawing, rubbing his little ears. I took a quick look into them today and they are indeed NASTY! I put a Q tip into his outer ear and got back the same gunk she got out at the office. The 2 girls seem ok.
I called the vet's office and found out that JUST TO WALK IN THE OFFICE IS...$42.00! If his ears need flushing...it's another $40.00, {and they do need flushing}. If any meds are needed or any treatment it's also EXTRA! As is the cytology for the products of the flushing!
AND THAT IS FOR EACH ONE!
I'm disabled, living on a small fixed SS income. There is NO way I could ever come up with this kind of money!
Anyone out there experienced this type of situation before?
I'm appalled at the high cost of vet care! What are we supposed to do? All of my babies came to me as a result of abandonment or abuse. Two of them were too weak to even suck from a bottle! They think I'm thier Mama!
I spoil them rotten...so does my boyfriend, who has very slowly warmed up to them. I'm really feeling guilty and like such a bad mom~! there must be a way to take care of this myself!
Thank you so much for loooking at this and also for the caring advice, suggestions, and love my babies will get as we all have before!
Carolann, Pixie, Lilbit,Tippy and last but not least "His Royal Large Ass" Bubba!
