Fortunately, my dentist is a woman, so if that happened.... is there a dental school near you? I have heard they will often do reduced price procedures to help their students get practical training. Unfortunately, no. At least, none that I know of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrosshairCollie Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Re: The cranky thread My wife and I have been adopted by a stray cat. He seems to have been abandoned or lost or ran away, as he's not feral; he understands scritches and pets. Unfortunately, I'm not sure I'm ready to adopt another cat after Nefertiti, so we may be keeping him as an outside cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinKitty Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Re: The cranky thread My Mom feeds a stray cat who comes to her door. He is healthy and in good shape so she thinks he must have someone who takes him in when it snows and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried that approach with, I think, three different cats so far. I always gave up around the time I took them to the vet for fixing. Maybe you're not the softie I am.

(I can't help saying this) Most shelters would know about the next clinic or deal going on. Always a good idea and get him scanned for a microchip. He does sound like he's been left behind which has been very common. If he was originally from a shelter that microchipped, most keep track of where they were adopted to, and many are willing to take them back and adopt them out. (Though if he's not neutered, chance of a chip are small.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Re: The cranky thread As long as they don't have cryptorchidism. In which case they should go in and find the undescended one, and that's pricey. We fostered two kittens with that last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSgt Baloo Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Re: The cranky thread I've got a toothache (pain level varies from "ow, that hurts" to "Mommy, make it stop!!!") and no dental insurance. I'm hoping to see an influx of cash in the next day or so, but until then I'm hurtin' bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkdguy Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Re: The cranky thread My sympathies. I broke a tooth last month and have to get a new crown. I don't have dental insurance either. It's been a rough four weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrosshairCollie Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Re: The cranky thread I am having the s**ttiest day. Wake up, go to clinic ... oddly feeling pretty good, pretty rested, not stressing. Nurse doesn't tape my needles down for crap. Leak blood all over my arm. About 9:00, stomach cramps start. About 9:45, in the bathroom suffering severe gastro-intestinal distress. Talk to nurses, decide I should leave early. Call wife away from work. While removing my needles, the nurse slips with one, resulting in a lot of spilled blood again. At this point, my Blood Pressure is down somewhere near the Astros' win-loss record. Gastrointestinal distress continues throughout the afternoon, finally breaking around 3pm when, to quote Monty Python, 'the sluices open at both ends'. Finally get hungry, to go get food ... nearly get in a fistfight with some craphead who doesn't know how speed limit signs work. BAD DAY.
