Thoughts. Prayers, Whatever for My...

As many of you know I have had a very long relationship with my cat, Bo, and he is basically my "child" and best friend. We have spent the last 13 - 14 years together and he has been the only one who has never left my side.

Recently Bo got into some stuff that is poisonous to a cat and fell ill within hours. He has been up most of the night vomiting and unable to even walk to his liter box. As most of you know I am collecting only disability checks and I can not afford to take him to the vet since I can no longer afford my own health insurance and medications. I spoke with a vet via the phone who told me a few tips to try and save my cat but right now he needs your thoughts, prayers, whatever it is that you believe in to get better. The next few hours are crucial and will tell whether he will make it or not. Since we can not go to the vet we basically have to wish him the best possible outcome and hope it works.

I am heartbroken at the prospect of losing my best friend and "baby." Bo has been with me through a lot in life and through this horrible illness. I just want him to see me get well again since we are still waiting to hear from the docs on next steps for my treatment. Bo gives me strength everyday when others want to sit and judge or forget that I am here fighting a battle for my life.

Please keep Bo in your thoughts and hope he pulls through. I am so at a loss for words and am so saddened I can not afford to get him well more than affording my own medications. He means more to me than purchasing my medication, I wish I didn't have to have my pills and doctors so he could have the care he needs. If I weren't sick for so many years he would have the money and care he needs to survive.

Anyway, please hope the best for my furry friend and that the next few hours turn out for the best as the vet tells me this will either be the time he goes or will survive. I have lost a lot to this disease and can not grasp the idea of losing my furry baby - he is currently slipping in and out of consciousness and can not stand, walk, or drink...please wish him the best as I can not lose my baby! I will keep you posted on his status and am now going to tend him as best I can.
