Zippo is in ICU in critical condition. Care Credit only approved a mere 500 and I gave them the last 400 I had. Estimate

was originally over 1700 min & almost 3000 on the hi end. My baby is not doing good. I'm so scared for him and I don't want to fail him! Thank you Gump for that link! I KNOW & the ICU vet agrees that it is likely Hepatic Lipidosis. I think it was caused by the rotten teeth & oral discomfort/pain. They think its something worse. They want to do all these tests that I can no longer afford because of the last 8 visits to all the vets. Every time I went in it was cuz he wasnt eating! And for complications from the loss of appetite and/or oral pain. I too wish they had told me how to get his required foods into him. I kept trying & trying to give him all kinds of foods. Rx cat foods, broth, baby food. He'd only eat a teaspoon or less a day solids &I told the vets that almost DAILY. I know that HL is curable but I don't think I have enough $$ to save him. God I hope they understand and treat him aggressively nutritionally within my means & save all the expensive tests for when he's stable :(
