I can't imagine what it would be like getting paid only once a month.
With
my relativelypoor financial discipline I would never make it!

Here in Finland monthly wages are pretty much the rule. I've always been
paid once a month.

For several years, my Dad was paid every four weeks. Try figuring out
monthly bills on that!

Oh, yes, count me in! Someone let me know how/where to send it!

You can use Paypal and send your donation to me. The email address is
listed on my signature, just remove the LITTER BOX...
If you don't trust Paypal, email me privately and I'll email you my
address so you can send me a regular check.
Also, if Dan gives us the phone number of his vet, we could simply call in
with our donations.

Thanks, Victor. I found the info in a post, called the vet directly, and
made a contribution. Tomorrow I'll call the specialist as well.

A few days ago I noticed Harri doing some coughing. She stopped after a
minute or so and it didn't repeat. Yesterday she had another coughing
fit, and that concerned me. She has also been a little bit listless and
lethargic. When I got back from my doctor appointment this afternoon I
saw that Harri has breathing very heavily, and she hadn't been doing
anything strenuous. By this time it was getting near 4 PM, and her usual
vet is over an hour's drive away at this time of day. I did some quick
research and located a vet in nearby Redlands, and remembered that I
have heard good things about that vet.

I had the feeling that Harri needed to see the vet immediately, and that
waiting until tomorrow might not be a good idea. I loaded Harri into the
carrier and we made the fastest trip to Redlands we've ever done. The
vet looked her over and found that she has a very high temperature. When
he listened to her breathing he found that she at least has a very
advanced case of pneumonia, and might have a collapsed lung. He did
mention that if I had waited til tomorrow, I probably would have had a
dead kitty.

The vet is reasonably sure that Harri will survive. She's spending the
night at the vet, getting IV fluids, antibiotics, and steroids. She's
also getting a lot of blood work done, and is getting some x-rays taken.
I'll find out about 10:00 AM tomorrow what the lab work shows.

The vet's assistant went over the vet's treatment plan before I left.
Turns out that Harri's treatment ought to cost almost exactly the amount
of my short-term disability checks for the last two weeks

Anyhow, purrs for Harri's recovery would be greatly appreciated.

Responses, not just Victor, but all who have offered to help, like
this just prove how great this group is! I've been in Dan's position
and needed help, so I know how great it is to have the $ factor taken
out of the equation and concentrate on getting a furry master well.

You got that right. This group has been fantastic so many times for so many
people. I don't know if I'll ever be able to say how grateful I've been for
all the monetary help and the love shown by you all. You just make me want
to cry in gratitude.

My current job pays every 2 weeks, so there are 26 pay periods in a
year.
