Previous: As some of you are aware, our cat, Ray, has been diagnosed with diabetes. The diabetes is now under control and he is doing wonderful. The problem is how we discovered the diabetes. A few months ago, Ray developed, what we think is a abscess tooth (for a short time the vet was calling it a tumor) but we now know better. I have to add that Ray and I always knew. We were unable to clean the infection out, due to the diabetes posing too much of a threat. Now that his bloodwork is up to par, we want to put him under and clean out all the crappy stuff in his head and let him continue his long life. He has fought hard to continue to eat dry food (he has never liked wet) even though half his mouth is constricted. He has continued to drink water, even though it makes him cough and gag. I have watched this animal fight and fight this thing. I wish to give him a chance to be free of it. Unfortunately, the funds have run out with all the trips to the vet for his diabetes. Please help Ray! I can see the fight in him. I do not see euthanization as an option!! I have told him all along, "I wont give up if you dont give up", like the "Train" lyrics. So, asking for help is how Im not giving up.
