does anybody know of an actual vet insurance plan? I don’t know if any veterinarians in my area even accept it if I had it anyway. :shrug:

I have something called VPI – Veterniary Pet Insurance and they’re in California. Put VPI or Veterniary Pet Insurance in your search engine and see if they do.
I really wish I could help, but I hope that your kitties get better soon! *sends hugs and vibes*
Keep us posted…

I haven’t checked into this yet but from the brochure I have they offer promotional no interest payment plans and extended payment plans at low interest. Their number is 800-365-8295 and you can visit them at carecredit.com. This may help with your money situation if it’s offered in your area. I hope this helps and I hope the kitties will get better.
Oh! That’s what I got when Bubba’s got sick and was in the Emergency Hospital. It was over $2,000 for his care so we got that credit card! Thank goodness!

Also, she said there are oral suppliments, like vitamin gels and things you can get that boost the immune system and that can help as well. You just need to make sure it’s okay for kittens. She said their are actually some made just for kittens since they are the most prone to getting these kinds of colds because they are little and their immune systems aren’t fully developed.
Hope that helps.
Ok I found a vet that was open today and took them in and he gave me some eye medicine called Mycitracin Opthalmic Ointment and 8 cans od the Science Diet A/D can wet food as he said its the best stuff you can buy and it has vitamins and antioxidents in it and to keep diluting it and force feeding them and keep giving them the clavamox and see if they get any better by next week and if not I will have to admit them for care at there vet. I did ask if they had some type of insurance plan or credit card and he said no. He said this is a Virus and that it has to run its course which can take 3 to 6 weeks and some kittens do not make it through it but as long as I keep force feeding them they have a chance. I wanted to keep everyone updated.
Something you may want to consider applying for if you can is CareCredit. It’s from GE I believe (yes, General Electric). It is a credit card of sorts, but it can only be used for medical, dental, or veterinary expenses. You can apply online for it and will know if you are covered immediately. It’s pretty cool actually. A coworker suggested it to me. If you get accepted, if your vet accepts it (you can check on the website), you should be able to tell them that you have it (give them the info) before you get your card and they should accept it (you can always call and ask too). We got it before we took Soot in to get his toe amputated (the toenail had become traumatized and fused badly with the bone and wasn’t healing well). Far better than shelling out almost $1K and the re-payment plans were quite reasonable. 🙂 Not bad to just have on hand too, for emergencies, like a surprise root canal.
I’m really sorry to hear about your kittens, I know how hard it is to see them in such distress. The suggestions the other made are good and, unfortunately there’s not a lot more you can do. I asked the vet at the shelter where I work, and URIs (upper respiratory infections) are really tough to deal with. Nearly all the animals we have, have it. If that’s what they have, it’ll just have to run its course. All I can further suggest is to keep them warm and comfortable and let them get as much rest as they can; whatever it takes to keep their immune systems up. I hope they get better soon and I’ll keep them and your family in my prayers.
I am very sorry to hear about your sick kittens it is very hard to have a sick animal. My prayers are with you that they recover.
I’m glad another vet looked at them. Thank you for the update and I hope they start showing improvement

Dreamscape, Orion, Poison Dart, Fireberry, Spangler + Tigerberry DragonsSo sorry to hear about your babies. I know only too well about vet bills. My one horse has cost me over 10 000 dollars and I only paid 700 for him. I almost lost him on a few occasions. I would be interested in your coiled peacock dragon. I wish you didnt have to sell some of your collections but more so I will wish for your little guys to make it. 🙁
