Question
my cat just had her kittens yesterday and she had 6 of them and they are very small and in the last 2 years she has had 2 patch of them and this is her third i do want to get her spayed but i have no money and i am on 14 years old so i am stuck please help
EVen many adults are short of money right now. Thank you for wanting to get her spayed. Some veterinarians, especially integrative ones, will be willing to barter with you. What skills do you have? Can you clean their parking lot, sidewalk, clinic? Are you great with the internet and able to help them build a web site? Call the veterinarian of your choice (tehn keep calling every one in your area), ask to speak with the veterinarian and tell them your financial situation, your age and that you know your cat needs to be spayed. Also, many cities have humane societies and other groups that can help with medical bills, rabies vaccines, spay and neuters. That would be your best bet. They do not want to have more kitens out there.
Good luck and keep asking people. Maybe tell your class at school about it and have a fund raiser. The teachers should be proud of you for trying to be responsible and if 50 people gave $5 each, you should have more than enough.

Expertise
I can give you the holistic approach to any problem in any species, though mostly I work with dogs and cats. Depending on the condition and the type of animal, I will be able to give very specific treatment suggestions such as what flower essences, homeopathic remedies, nutritional supplements, diet changes, lifestyle changes or herbs that may be helpful - not drugs. I can also suggest where you can go for further education or to find a specialist in a specific holistic field. I can help you understand why your animal is ill and what improvements can be expected. I do not check messages more than every one to two days, so PLEASE DO NOT ask about EMERGENCIES - call your local veterinarian. I cannot diagnose your animal. I cannot prescribe specific treatments. I am no longer very current with conventional treatments, so cannot answer questions on those. I am not an expert on birds or small critters. I will give you helpful connections about hose species.
Experience
I graduated from the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine in 1980 and began using homeopathy in my practice after a client introduced me to it. By 1988 I was using exclusively holistic treatments. I began lecturing in 1987 and have spoken at veterinary conferences, health food stores, people's homes, churches, veterinary college conferences - anywhere people want to learn more about keeping their animals healthy.
