My cat is panting and drooling again. What if I can't afford the vet?

Question

A couple of months ago, I found my cat breathing heavily/panting, as well as drooling. I was really worried so I took him to the vet. They prescribed him pills to take for a week, as well as a liquid medicine. Earlier today, I found him in the same state as last time. He still has pills left over from last time, so I've already given him a dose. Unfortunately, he doesn't have any more of the liquid medicine. I'm hoping I don't have to take him back to the vet, because I cannot afford to take him. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 10 lbs

Poor Frenchie! It would be very helpful if you could post what the vet diagnosed Franchie as having, along with the names of both medications he was given. Having that information will allow the experts to better help you and Frenchie, and possibly given a solution that may not require a trip to the vet. I can say that breathing difficulties do typically require a visit to the vet, as they can cause a cat to do downhill quickly into respiratory arrest. If paying for a vet is an issue, you can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Care Credit online. There is also an organization called Red Rover that give grants for treatment of sick animals, and you can see if you qualify for one of their grants. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962 https://www.redrover.org https://www.carecredit.com
