She could hardly stand or walk strait, and she was twitching/convulsing. We live in san antonio and It was a pretty hot day out, so my mom figured it was just heat stroke (alothough it had never happend befor and there's always plenny of water for her) and we got her to drink water till she wouldnt drink anymore. It's now been more then 12 hours and she's seems almost comletely paralized from the neck down.She doesnt seem to be in any kind of pain, but im sure she must have gotten hold of somesort of toxin, beacause my girlfriend saw her earlyer that morning and said she wasn't walking strait. We haven't taken her to a vet, and due to money we probably won't be able to. Does any one have any idea what might be wrong with her or what we can do? Why the hell isn't this cat at a vet? Out of curiosity: What part of "due to money we probably won't be able to [take her to a vet]" does not make sense to you? How many cats are being euthanized this week at your local shelter because you refused to rescue them? I think you could find a more persuasive tone to help this cat. That's the point, isn't it? Idiot. If you can't respond to the questions, then I think that proves my points above. One thing that I learned a long time ago the one that blows the horn is usually the one full of hot air Onde thing I learned a long time ago is that anyone who posts to Usenet (on a computer worth several hundred dollars) about a critically ill animal instead of taking the animal to the vet is criminally negligent and personally abhorrent--at least to me. Negligent, yes. Criminally, no. Personally abhorent? Depends. If they know low cost ways to put a very sick animal out of its suffering and do not act upon them, then they are abhorrent. If they are asking what to do, then they are simply not educated on the point. Well, "Matt," what do you think? Could you, would you leave a critically ill animal to suffer? He is leaving a critically ill animal to suffer. Many each day, as a matter of fact. Pillory him. I asked a few polite questions. You did not answer. That still says it all. snip. Vulgarity only reflects on you and doesn't help this discussion or newsgroup. Congratulations (for making it so quickly into my killfile). I demand rational discussion or else I do a disservice to everyone here trying to get help with their animals. |

Give me a break, they can afford Internet service and a computer but can't find money for vet care? It's usually just priorities when money is scarce. Hell, just don't go drinking for 3 weeks or cut back on the Big Macs. Probably got a cell phone too. -mhd |

You are in no position to judge. You might be in a position to help. No one says they can't find a way to get vet care. They may simply be unaware of all their options. Given the way you kicked this stranger when s/he was down, and with such apparent "on higher moral ground" (so you fool yourself) glee, I sure would have concerns about how you treat animals. |

Apparently there is enough money in that particular household for some recreational drug use, just not quite enough to help a poor, paralyzed cat. Candace |

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS (A) A person commits an offense if he intentionally or knowingly: (1) tortures or seriously overworks an animal; (2) fails unreasonably to provide necessary food, SHELTER or care; (3) abandons unreasonably an animal in his custody; (4) transports or confines an animal in a cruel manner; (5) kills, injures, or administers poison to an animal belonging to another without legal authority or the owner's effective consent; (6) causes one animal to fight another; (7) uses a live animal as a lure in dog race training or in dog coursing; (8) horse tripping AN OFFENSE UNDER THIS SECTION IS A CLASS A MISDEMEANOR SEC. 12.21 CLASS A MISDEMEANOR (A) Any individual adjudged guilty of a Class A misdemeanor shall be punished by: (1) a fine not to exceed $4,000.00; (2) confinement in jail for a term not to exceed one year; (3) BOTH such fine and imprisonment. Animal Cruelty Statute - Third Offense An amendment to the Penal Code, provides a felony penalty for individuals convicted of animal abuse on a third offense. As of September 1, 2001, people who are convicted of committing acts of cruelty or torture to animals can receive harsher punishment via the new bill: HB 653. Heinous crimes of cruelty towards animals can now be tried as a FELONY punishable by up to $10,000 in fines or 2 years in jail or BOTH. Under this new law, minors (under the age of 18) can be forced to undergo psychological counseling. Studies have shown links between animal abuse and domestic violence. Furthermore, those who torture animals are at much higher risk for committing violent and deadly crimes against humans later in life. It is not enough to be compassionate you must act Amy Bartell You must be the change you wish to see in the world Ghandi Any cat is helpless to help themselves much less a paralyzed cat. How many think the OP will post back and be honest and say the cat died? They let the paralyzed cat lay, she even posted back and told the cat pooped and pee'd one time. Where was the common sense and decency to act responsibly on behalf of the cat? What was the diagnosis? Nobody knows. This is really sad. The little cat sat outside the door dying. Till the sun finally took her out. There is no mention of water outside the apartment, no provision what do the law say? (2) fails unreasonably to provide necessary food, SHELTER or care; (3) abandons unreasonably an animal in his custody; mhmmm |

Elle wrote: Out of curiosity: What part of "due to money we probably won't be able to [take her to a vet]" does not make sense to you? Actually none of it makes sense. If you don't have a cash reserve or a credit card for such emergencies, don't keep the animal. How many cats are being euthanized this week at your local shelter because you refused to rescue them? Thousands - and it is a fate much better than a cat suffering to death because its idiot "owner" can't afford to have it treated by a vet. I think you could find a more persuasive tone to help this cat. That's the point, isn't it? The only help this cat needs is immediate vet care. She isn't going to find that on the internet. That's the ONLY point worth making. -L. |
