Hi friends,
thank you all who respond when I thought my sweetie had died, she vanished, as you have helped me give my kitty-angel KittyKat a precious safe loved life.
She "ran away" and only returned after (i found out) a giant abcess had burst in her neck somewhere. Gone at least 3 days, i thought she had died.
Thank goodness she trusted me, I had purchased a carrier (I got advice here to take her to the vet, and, hoping she was alive, bought this carrier,) I luired her with treats into the carrier, she was pretty gone, rushed her to the ER, and she came back to live another day/week/???
Problem is, ... the vet said she had a lot of bad teeth which would need to go soon. I live in a very high cost of living county (we bought a long time ago)... and prices are insane. I haven't priced out getting her teeth "fixed" but the one post i saw on NextDoor said they liked Dr A better than Dr B (vets) as a tooth extraction was $1100 cheaper!
What do people do? Kitty is no spring chicken kitty cat and the sweetest ever, but how much does a full extraction cost? What can I do? What do others do? Kitty must be ? 14? idk 12? 16?
Thanks. I found another abcess starting and just had surgery myself, one week out, and this made me so very sad. So far she doesn't seem to mind. I just want to do all I can, but find out how? Is this going to set me back thousands? etc. I thought of flying her to Mexico to get her teeth removed (a joke)! as this seems so pricey. And I am homebound right now myself.
again, thanks. Kitty has gotten so much love, b/c this board and such caring members are on it. Kitty thanks you too. PS she has never seen any dr. other than the original TNR before I moved here, and then the ER vet.
