aw yeah. vet got approval for UK-based medication and it's shipping out next week.
LiberBEARian
You're an insanely expensive cat, Frankenbaby
LiberBEARian
The vet was funny over the phone. Apparently the UK is way ahead of the US in terms of pet-based medicine?? I didn't know that
Lady Stardust
fuck yeah Frankenstein!
LiberBEARian
So the medicine itself isn't pricy but the shipping container is. It has to be stored at ice temperatures so it's $600 all told
spooky queer
omg yaaaaaay
LiberBEARian
And I'm like
LiberBEARian
"bruh just sneak it in with the covid vaccines"
LiberBEARian
"it's fine"
spooky queer
.....do you have carecredit
spooky queer
but also lollll
LiberBEARian
I have the cash, we saved for this
spooky queer
well that's good at least but yikes
Lady Stardust
maybe it's because we don't have to bankrupt ourselves for our own medical needs
Lady Stardust
but also YAY
spooky queer
time to move to europe
spooky queer
you'll avoid your aunts that way
LiberBEARian
And the great news is that it's really good for cats with her condition AND it's supposed to be good for a whole year
LiberBEARian
Yesssss
spooky queer
\o/
LiberBEARian
They've had one other US cat who had her exact problems and got it and the cat's doing wonderfully
LiberBEARian
It comes every Monday so when it arrives, she and I get to go to the vet to be told how to give it to her because it's some sorta weird space-age tech bullshit, I love it
ᴍᴏᴍᴏᴄʜᴋᴀ »
oh man!! yeah!!
spooky queer
awwww
LiberBEARian
We've been pilling and syringing and pulling teeth and poking this poor 8 pound animal but sure let's torment her some more. God it must suck to be a sick animal. She yells at me and I'm like "I KNOW. I KNOW. IT SUCKS."
spooky queer
poor baby
LiberBEARian
Fucking going to air lift her to the UK next, I swear
Becky
yeah Molly and that snake bite. she thinks shes being 'punished' with this stuff. Breaks my heart
LiberBEARian
oh molly. :<
LiberBEARian
Pippin is going through the same shit too. He had an operation ten days ago that resulted in stitches over his eye so he's been in the cone of shame all this time. The stitches come out tomorrow but he whimpers so much
spooky queer
omg
LiberBEARian
Like, enough, animals. Only one of you is allowed to get sick at the same time

Maybe your vet will write up this case and it’ll help get that med approved over here.
LiberBEARian
That would be incredible
LiberBEARian
They're taking a lot of strides, there's really not a good solution for cat stomatitus in the US if full-mouth dental extraction doesn't work. That's why I'm trying to get her into that study at St Paul's
LiberBEARian
Other than constantly dosing her with pain meds and anti-inflammatory steroids which isn't amazing and leads to diabetes
Kira🌵
I'm so glad to hear she got approved! Fingers crossed
LiberBEARian
Thanks!
𝔪𝔢𝔪𝔢𝔫𝔱𝔬💀𝔪𝔬𝔯𝔞𝔶
Oh heck yeah. Let me know how it goes and maybe I can bring it into my clinic!
LiberBEARian
will do!
garfs per min
DAMN NICE
garfs per min
She'll go down in his-tor-y
Jay
aaah, that's great!
Hyatt
everything's coming up Frankie!
