My cat was attacked by a neighbor's dog...

25. Sounds like you do not want to put the landlord at fault lest...

you lose your room. Insist that the door be fixed. Then pursue payment from the neighbors who are allowing the dog to run lose. If that doesn't work, you will have to get the law involved. If the dog has to be put down, that is unfortunate, but maybe for the better in the long run. The next time he may take after a child.

If none of the above, then ask your vet for a discount. Ask if you can pay a small amount each month. Or maybe you could work off the bill in the vet office. Sometimes local humane societies can help. You should not have to pay this bill yourself, but life is not always fair.

I send good thoughts to you and your kitty. I wish both of you well. Please tell us how this all turns out.
