Another hard day but has hope please pray for baby daughters cat

Our baby daughter's (15yrs) cat she rescued 2 years ago has been very sick and at the vets for 3 days. We went in today and he told us we need to take him for a sonogram today. We did and he has a fatty liver. They wanted to put a feeding tube in his neck or tummy for us to feed him, a cost of $400.00 on top of the $419.00 for the testing they just did and his medicine and for 6 cans of food.  I asked for the food telling them he will eat for us. They were not going to at 1st but they asked questions and saw we were able to care for him right due to our experience with taking care of animals. I told them if we could not get him to eat for us by syringe (not sure how to spell???) we would take him to our vet and have a tube put in, we rather he has one in his nose to his tummy than making a hole in his side or neck for the tube.  We do not know the cost of his stay with our vet yet, he just puts it on my tab and lets us pay as we can.  Most of the time we can pay in full but we are tapped out for vet bills after the same baby daughters horse got coliced we tried to save her but her gut twisted and that same day a stray dog killed her 2 1/2 month old baby goat. Now her cat is sick.  He is home with us today and I am able to get him to eat for us, they said it takes food for his liver to heal, so we are feeding him the special diet , we will also be adding to his diet the herbs that the natural vet tells us to.  We are trying our best and asking him the cat Chub-Chub to fight as well.  We will take all the prayers we can, I do not think my baby girl (yes I know she is 15 yrs old, but still my baby) can take the loss of another pet. Her horse Beauty was her best friend for 10 yrs. The love they shared was amazing. Beauty after being with us 3 weeks sat on her tush and slid just to avoid running over her new mommy the baby when she fell off. Also Beauty would put her head down so the baby could climb on her neck then Beauty put her neck up ever so slow for the baby to slide onto her back, getting the baby off was the same way.  The baby would take a bite of an apple or sandwich then give Beauty a bite and they went back and forth until the food was gone. The baby prayed for a long time for God to send her a cat of her own and one day her sister called me from the riding stable she was working at and told me there was 4 abandoned kittens with the eyes just opening, her best friend took 2 home and so did she, well needless to say God gave them each a cat, that was July of 05.  We are going to try our best we know Chub-Chub is in Gods hands his critters, if you could find it in your hearts to pray I thank you. It would be so hard for the baby to have another loss. Thank you and God bless mj.
