Karma will get you every time. Just yesterday I was kvetching about someone coming here for advice as opposed to hightailing it to the vet, and here I am today, cap in hand, doing the same darn thing.
In fairness though I did try calling an emergency vet earlier who was supposed to call me back but never did. When I called them the second time the receptionist said, "Oh, the vets are exceptionally busy tonight but they have your message. Or you can just bring your cat and come in."
Just to walk through the door there is $500 and that doesn't include any diagnostics whatsoever! I'd pay it in a heartbeat if I thought they could help but I really don't think they can.
Here's my problem. Thirteen, my spayed two-year-old domestic short-haired tuxedo, got outside tonight for about five to seven minutes and had a high old time cavorting with my ferals. She even ate out of their dish! Thirteen had her kitten shots but nothing beyond that. Because she and my other cat, Atticus, are both solely indoor cats I just didn't see the need to tax their systems so aside from rabies I've never had boosters.
I'm so worried I can't sleep. The female feral she was playing with has a chronic eye infection and her right eye is always running and matted together.
I don't suppose there's any kind of "Plan B" or "Morning After Pill" for this situation, is there? I'll call my vet first thing in the morning but I wanted to know what you guys think.
