My FIV cat is very sick and losing weight. Can't afford vet, help!

Question

My cat Lee has FIV and he has lost a lot of weight due to diarreha and throwing up. I started giving him some probiotic and slippery elm bark and george's aloe vera for the diarrhea but I feel like I am losing him. PLEASE tell me what I can do. I was giving him canned food with that mixture mixed in and some dry healthy weight food. I can't afford a vet.... Please please help me save his life. I love him so very much!

It sounds like Lee is doing poorly at the moment, and this can no longer be treated at home. He has to see a vet asap. 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. Best Friends also has a list of resources that offer financial assistance on their website. You can also see if you can borrow money from family and friends to afford the vet. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962 https://www.redrover.org https://www.carecredit.com http://bestfriends.org/resources/financial-aid-pets http://lessonsfromaparalyzeddog.com/when-pet-owners-cant-afford-veterinary-bills/
