Spamboy,

We even made the rational choice that she was not going to pull through, so why spend the money? Yet when she started crashing right before the end, we were still moved to head to the emergency vet despite the looming possibility of having to pay yet another futile bill. I'm sorry to hear about Knight, but I am glad that Asgar has a shot.

The insulin is about $80 a bottle and at best, should last us a little over two months. There is the chance that he'll need more, but we won't know for a month or so. He also needs to be on a special diet, but its pretty much a weight loss diet and since the other two cats are still overweight, they'll benefit from the new food as well. As soon as we get him leveled out, and past all the tests, things should be better. Not great, but better. Thanks Amanda,

I will support your decision if Asgar is a burden more than you can bear. Whether it be time away from each other (heather or ansel) or money that should go to your child and his care. Please know that I feel for you both. Wow, I hate that you two are going through this again with Asgar.
