I know the costs of owning a sick animal vets are not cheap im lucky mine are insured,i like my animals to have quality of life and if the quality is no longer there well im afraid its time to be brave and say goodbye.
People say oh its only a dog/cat yes it is to them.to me they are my world but if i cannot aford to pay a vet bill i cannot afford to keep a animal

dear polly the animal lover (have to be careful their..that statement can be misconstrued and you wouldnt want the police knocking at your door!!) the initial diagnosis at the vets was that the hip was badly broken, the nerves were intact..hence it was a matter of reconstructing the hip.unfortunately..muniza was foolish in taking the vets word for this and should just have asked tiddles to be put to sleep..obviously the best course of action, just kill the cat, its what he would have wanted? infortunately as a student in full time education..she decided it would be the best course of action based on this prognosis to try and raise money for an operation. true, shes at fault having not had a policy of pet insurance in place..as before its a matter of individuals casting judgement and making comments without establishing the facts. muniza was 10 yearsold when she took the cat in..hindsight is a wonderful thing..but through the years the cat was well looked after until its demise. the lesson of pet insurance has been learnt..but dont criticise someones belief or action when they do their hardest to preserve a life, even a cat one at that, when the professsional advice given is that it is a simple matter of an operation and letting father time work his magic.
