cheap vet wanted

hairyface

hi im wondering is there any cheap vets in the kildare area that might be willing to help my poor cat she has some sores on top of her head beside her ear and she has made it worse by scratching it i put a elizibethin color on her but she is very depressed with it on her i need to get this sorted last year i fell on hard times and now i cant afford to bring her to the vet with the kids going back to school next week the bills are coming in fast we love our cat very much and it really hurts us to see her in such pain i did bring her to the vet in athy last week but only the nurse would see her and just gave me some soloution to apply to her head the so called VET would not even look at her without paying 40 euro to them please if somebody knows where i could bring her i would be very gratefull and please do not bother commenthing if you have nothing good to say e.g if you cant afford a vet you should'nt have a pet like i said i fell on hard times like most of the people in this country im not looking for a free vet just a vet that understands my situation
thanks any help would be great

What vet did you go to in Athy?

If you contact the KSPCA they may be able to help you?

the hospital

Don't know the hospital that you are talking about to be honest.

Have you tried any other vets?

Is your cat an outdoor or indoor cat?

And what are the sores like?

she is an indoor cat her and her sister come in every night and are always very clean great pets to have the kids love them to bits the sores started off small and then after her scratching them they got worse scabs on them and kind of raw looking no pusing though my wife cleans them with the soloution 4 times a day at first the sores looked like she had been from fighting but now they have got worse in all fairness to the nurse she did shave the cats head to make cleaning easier but gave me no indication to what might be the cause

You probably need to go to the vet if the solution doesn't work.

Have you flea treated recently?

Definitely check out the KSPCA and see if they can arrange a discount via their vet?

The Kildare Animal Foundation may also be able to help you. Some vets will arrange a payment plan if you do explain your situation though so don't be afraid to ask.
