Oh man do I feel your pain there. Vet bills can just absolutely slam you sometimes. Had to dump a good 2-3 grand out of my savings to get my current puppy up to speed. In some of the final days of my previous dogs life I more or less completely drained my account.
Hope all works out for you and the kitty though.
This may sound heartless, but if I was faced with the choice between paying over a thousand dollars in vet bills or putting down the animal and getting a new one, I'd go for the second one. I only ever have mutt cats I got for free, so those are super easy to replace.

Sometimes it isn't a clear choice. You don't always know what the total will be when take an animal in, especially if it involves at-clinic recovery on medication.

That's fine and yes it can be seen. 600 wide will generally fit without breaking the default layout I believe. If it is going to be wider than say 800 or a few hundred K, might spoiler is unless it is in an image centric thread like finds, BST, collection, or the image dump threads.

725 wide and 256kb limit. Anything wider automatically gets resized unless its a direct attachment. The direct upload pics can be auto resized by using this command:
{attachment=0}Sample Pic.JPG{/attachment}
@ Hobie - not sure if this applies to the "Silver" layout, did it ever get the auto size fix?
Smile: My neighbors party is today, and they're already smoking a whole hog. In-laws are coming over for dinner and to ask us if we've found a church yet, but after that, good times.
Frown: Dog hair in the corners of steps. You would think my dog lives on the stairs.
- I'm really upset that I didn't buy this shirt when they still had a size small in stock:
