This evening, my cat Merlin had a very concerning episode where he was rolling around, laying on his side, yowling and howling like he was in pain. It looked like his tummy was cramping, or he was breathing unevenly. I was really worried about him, so I took him to the vet, after I had applied for a credit card online. Luckily, I was approved, but it turns out that it might not be enough for what I need to get done for him. I had blood work done, and they said everything was as normal as it should be. Then I had an X-ray done, and they said everything was normal except for his heart. There is a noticeable enlargement of an area around his heart, and they think it's a vessel that is enlarged. They think the episode where he looked like he was in pain and yowling was possibly due to blood clots. So their having me start him on blood clot medication until I can get him to a cardiologist to get his heart checked out. I also sent out a thyroid test to make sure that nothing is wrong there.

So the visit today cost over $800, and to see a cardiologist is gonna cost a little over $800 also. I currently do not have a consistent job and am just now getting on my feet after fracturing my ankle. I could really use some help, and that's why I'm starting this. The credit I had was only for $1300. I've already used $800 of that, so I don't have the second $800 for the rest of what I need to see the cardiologist, along with if they need to do anything to fix what is wrong. So I may even need more than that. If there's any way you could help out, I would really appreciate it, and so would my Merlin.
