Baxenden girl needs £1,500 to save attacked cat
Here is a link to the story
Quote:
£2000 is a lot of money to spend on a cat, especially when you don't have the money and the cat is in pain. I feel for the owners and hope the sick people that hurt the cat are punished but it is the cat the owners should be thinking about now, not themselves. |
your right Neil, your not being insensitive, the poor cat sounds like it needs to be put down, yes fair enough the girl loves her cat and no cat should go through that but if its in constant pain now, is it going to be guaranteed a better life after the op?
so that cat will be in pain until the girl raises the money??? thats awful, it could take ages, months even |

I don't think you are being insensitive really, can understand where youre coming from and it would probably be the most humane thing to do but this obviously is a well loved family pet and they want to do all they can for it. No one wants to lose their pet but sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind |
Re: Baxenden girl needs £1,500 to save attacked cat
It would be kinder to put the animal down.... put I am sure someone will more than likely pay the vets bill for her..... crazy:
|
Re: Baxenden girl needs £1,500 to save attacked cat
Should the cat's age matter, when deciding if it should be given an operation or put down?
What would you say if it had been the girl's granny who'd been attacked?:rolleyes: |
Re: Baxenden girl needs £1,500 to save attacked cat
I am a huge animal lover and firmly believe its quality of life over quantity.neil you are not being insensitive just realistic,many of us face heart breaking decisions when a much loved pet is ill or in this instance attacked.i do think its far kinder to put any animal to sleep rather than try and keep it alive for my own selfishness.And people are selfish when it comes tol oosing a pet
|
Re: Baxenden girl needs £1,500 to save attacked cat
Odd how so many animal lovers are happy to have their pets put down when their quality of life is deemed unacceptable, yet there's so little support for human euthanasia.
People are strange animals. |

hardly the same thing is it ... that said the cat will get more on the sympathy vote than had it been her Granny: if you can not afford vet bills ( taking into account that this kind of thing can happen ) then you should not have cats.... |

Re: Baxenden girl needs £1,500 to save attacked cat
it would be nice if the vet did the operation free it wouldent cost any where near that
|
Re: Baxenden girl needs £1,500 to save attacked cat
We are in a position to decide if a cat is suffering to much to end its pain, I know Joan had to have her dalmation put to sleep a few months ago, the vet said that she would probable live for 3 to 6 months, but would be in great discomfort, even though she thought the world of the dog, she had her put to sleep there and then to save any suffering, the vet also said he would have taken the same decision if it had have been his dog

I would and have in the past had to put much loved pets to sleep. I equally support euthanasia. As a biker i always said i would hate to be a vegetable after an accident and would prefer the plug pulling etc. As another said quality of life is what counts. |

Re: Baxenden girl needs £1,500 to save attacked cat
While this family is fund-raising the cat is suffering. It's a very sad position for the family to be in but I think they should put the immediate situation before the possibilities for the future. What if it takes weeks to raise the money? Is the cat to suffer until then?
I'd love to hear what the vet has to say. Is he/she just standing by, waving a scalpel, until they get the money together or is there another side? I've had to make the final decision for beloved cats and dogs, in my lifetime, losing my 16 year-old bitch Jet just 3 years ago. I know how dreadfully difficult it is but I also know what's right. |
Re: Baxenden girl needs £1,500 to save attacked cat
The postponement of any action until funds are raised might be considered cruelty by RSPCA standards..... they may intervene.

Re: Baxenden girl needs £1,500 to save attacked cat
How the eck do they reckon on 1500 quid.
Are they calling in Harley St specialists, some of these vets think they should be living the life style. I'll bet the actual cost is nearer £100. Rip off Britain again. Retlaw. |
Re: Baxenden girl needs £1,500 to save attacked cat
its a cat for goodness sake .... just put it down and put the money to good use:
( ouch ) |
Re: Baxenden girl needs £1,500 to save attacked cat
I can remember the days when many folk kept a dolly-tub in the backyard for such occasions :eek:

Re: Baxenden girl needs £1,500 to save attacked cat
I can remember when I was a lad, the council yard was at the back of our house in Monarch Street Ossy, they had a gas chamber in one of the garages for putting dogs and cats down, thank goodness we've moved on from those days and at least now we can give much loved pets a quick and peaceful end

Re: Baxenden girl needs £1,500 to save attacked cat
I hope this young lady does raise the money to treat her cat.
I am sure that the vet would have not offered the operation if she didn't think it would prolong its life without discomfort. The only thing I find sad about this is that, when you take on a pet of any kind, you have to be prepared for all emergencies that hit your pocket ... they are not cheap toys. Don't know much about Pet Insurance, but feel everyone should take this out if you wish to be able to meet any costly unexpected veterinary bills .. unless you are sure you will have the finances if any accidents happen in the future. This would keep your pet with you rather than the option of putting it down due to lack of finance. |
Re: Baxenden girl needs £1,500 to save attacked cat
I do believe a vet cannot refuse treatment to any animal if it is in need,which makes me question why if this operation is urgent hasnt the vet operated and relieved the cat from its pain.
Insurance is a must for any animal these days for cats its something like £4.00 a month dependant on age,for dogs its different depending on breed. |
Re: Baxenden girl needs £1,500 to save attacked cat
From personal experience, if an emergency op is needed and the owner asks if it can go ahead, and has limited funds, the vet will come to an arrangement whereby the client can pay by installments, to be paid within a specific time. At least this was my experience with the vets at Clayton.
Who is the vet in this case? anyone know? Surely if the family was willing to clear the debt within a time period the vet would have gone ahead? :confused: |

If we treated our human relatives with the same love and compassion, it would lessen the fear of that terminal time we all have to face eventually. I have made a "living will"; and I have chosen my closest friend to be the one who will, if I am unable, give the instruction to pull the plug. I am a strong supporter of human euthanasia ... allowing, of course, that legal and ethical safeguards are put in place. |

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. |

As for the prognosis i had a 10wk old pup that broke his leg in two places and also fractured his hip not by any mistreatment from a human just playing out with his mum.I know to well what a fracture can do to a animal and shock soon sets in.I had a marvellous vet who tended to my pup but he made it pretty darn clear that until he saw the actual breaks he wasnt sure if he could save my pups leg,I know a dog will adjust to being on three legs but at 10wks old it was a lot to put my boy through so i told the vet if it was a matter of amputation i would prefer to let me pup go,a harsh decision but one i chose.my pup survived after intensive surgery and lots of expense and months wearing different pins to support his injury.Ive just lost two girls to cancer and let me tell you we tried everything in our power to save them,but at the end of the day none of my animals will be kept alive if they need medication.You think what you want of me but i dont go asking for charity.my animals my responsibiity. that backpak you wearing it wants shoving somewhere as you are one rude person |

my sincerest condolences in relation to the family you have lost. This however is no justifiaction for violence. Im not a doctor or a vet. The vets advice was taken until the cat was taken to another vets who highlighted potential problems Its partly as result of charity and people having the heart to give that the charitys do so well. i know because i have raised money for cancer charitys in the past. As for 3 legs.. cats commonly adapt to life with three legs..again vet advice..and not my prognosis |

I do believe that the RSPCA will help towards vet fees if owner is struggling another route i would of gone down rather than the newspaper |

the initial vets approach concerned my frend that there was an underlying econmical issue for them. The fees started at 500 and within a 5 days had reached around 2000. the vets were changed and a the professionalism and integrity of the nurses and vets at the second establishment were above par. Whilst at the vets, my friend saw many animals in pain..some abuseed, some without owners with horrifuic injuries..hence the aim to raise money for the operation, and the rest of the money raised to be donated to the rspca and other reputable animal charities. Taking gracefully is one aspect..but its better when you can also give something back. |

Wish her all the best when it comes to raising money from the general public, her aim being reported in the local press, so that she can pay for the vet's bill.
