I wonder why it is seen to be acceptable by some to allow their pets to
suffer illness and seek free advice from a newsgroup rather than take them
to a vet??? Would you do the same if it were your child? I doubt it. Good
grief, if you have no money there are plenty of charitites and humane
societies that can help, HOWEVER, try selling your computer to pay for the
vet treatment, if you can afford a computer and an internet connection you
can afford to take your cat to the vet when it appears to be sick

If some on this thread had read my followup post, you would see that I
am using someone else's account to post and look for help. That was
what I was trying to do look for HELP/ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE/ADVICE, etc.
If you feel better about yourself for attacking others and offering
holier than thou criticism and contempt for me, then okay, I cannot
change your views. I came out of concern and a stressful situation to
what I thought would be an appropriate place to seek such advice. Is
it a substitution for a competent vet's exam? No, of course not...I
am not that much of an idiot, people, and I am not uncaring, but as I
said, when you are in crisis, things are a bit harder/more complicated
to deal with than some on this thread allow for.

In any case, the is the first, last, and only time I will attempt to
seek advice/help/community for such things. For those posters who put
in followups that were concerned and genuine, thank you. For those
who simply attacked and criticized, don't worry...I will NOT appear
again. You have successfully chased me away from any such avenues as
it is clear unless you do exactly as someone else does, you are
considered a heretical, evil, vile person who is a worthless consumer
of oxygen. I am sorry to offend some of you when all I was doing was
looking for some amount of information/similar experiences.

And again, please recall that I am using someone else's email and
Google password here...flooding the email address with angry letters
of contempt is only making it worse and making someone who is not
involved suffer for my foolishness.

Take care, everyone. Sorry I ruffled everyone's feathers.


Damn. I'm jealous. I should have written that. That would have been my
advice to you exactly. Word for word.
