My cat can't pee and is lethargic. How to find affordable vet care?

Mittens is a lovely looking girl! Unfortunately there isn't anything you can do at home for her, she has to see a vet as soon as possible because she sounds quite sick. It's serious that she's had diarrhea with blood in it, she's not eating much, she's quite thirsty, and is lethargic. I would see if you can borrow money from family or friends, if your vet will accept payment plans, or you can apply for VetCare Finance to afford a vet for her. I would take her into a vet first thing in the morning, and I hope one of my resources helps you afford a vet! http://www.vetcarefinance.co.nz/

Unfortunately there is no way to get antibiotics without a prescription, and it is illegal for us to prescribe any medication without seeing Gambit in person first. I'm extremely concerned she is barely eating and drinking. It's actually quite serious when a cat won't eat as they will develop a fatty liver over time. A fatty liver is fatal without treatment. She has to see a vet now. If paying for a vet is an issue, you can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Care Credit online. There is also an organization called Red Rover that give grants for treatment of sick animals, and you can see if you qualify for one of their grants. Best Friends also has a list of resources that offer financial assistance on their website. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962 https://www.redrover.org https://www.carecredit.com http://bestfriends.org/resources/financial-aid-pets http://lessonsfromaparalyzeddog.com/when-pet-owners-cant-afford-veterinary-bills/ http://www.dogheirs.com/resources-affordable-veterinary-care/ Please take her into a vet immediately.

You would need to discuss payment plans with the veterinarian or practice manager. At the same time, you can discuss alternative financing options, such as Care Credit ( www.carecredit.com ). This is a service that allows you to spread out costs into more manageable installments similar to a consumer credit card account.

This unfortunately is very concerning and is quite possibly a medical emergency situation for your pet Nacho. Nacho cannot be helped st home because it is possible he may have a urinary blockage and in need or a urinary catheter to provide him relief. Urinary tract infections are 1) not common in male cats and 2) Dont cause a lot of vocalization in the cat, therefore I suspect a urinary blockage is the actual culprit. I am hopeful that you can find someone to help you with Nacho so that you can take him in for life saving procedures. Poor guy. : ( Here are some financial assistance websites also that may be able to help as well: Carecredit.com Redrover.org Please take him in right away. Even if cost is a concern. At least you can get him seen and then go from there with the financial aspect of it. Best of luck!

Po is beautiful! Thank you for including a picture. It is very common that cats with renal disease can develop secondary bacterial urinary tract infections, but we wouldn't want to give her medications that she doesn't need unless we know that for sure by testing a urine sample. I certainly understand that veterinary care is expensive. You may consider applying for CareCredit ( carecredit.com ) which often gives you a period of time without any payment or interest. If that is not an option, you may be able to find a resource to help you with financial support through one of the organizations in the link below. http://www.dogheirs.com/resources-affordable-veterinary-care/ Good luck! I hope that was helpful and gives you some ideas. Thanks for using PetCoach.

The fact that Angelo won't eat is a medical emergency. If he goes long enough without eating (72 hours), he will develop a fatty liver which is fatal without treatment. There are no other options but to take him into a vet immediately.
