I'm still stressing about a single mum and 10yo daughter who had to put their kitty down.
They couldn't afford treatment for a similar condition to my dog's.
The poor mother was trying to console her daughter.

Oh man that's heartbreaking.
And that a lack of money leads to death is ... I don't know what word to pin on it.
There is too much loss and suffering on this little ball of rock and water, far, far, too much, critters and humans both.
Georgie cat, now 13 years old, and sitting next to me, wouldn't be here if my parents hadn't paid a $700 vet bill some years ago when my SSD budget couldn't cover it.
Grumman cat is 14 going on 15 & his health emergency was covered by the rescuer I got him from when he was juvenile age.
