I got an email from the vet saying my cat was ready for geriatric blood work. I was all offended he is only 10 Then I thought 10 is getting up there for a cat. Seriously I hear what you are saying I’m afraid of getting older because I’m afraid I won’t beable to get what I might need and I have good insurance. If I had a friend that was in pain and couldn’t get the meds I would give them my extras I keep around. No matter what the law says. If the person is legit and not a junkie.
