I agree totally with Jack and WC, number one priority at the moment is to get Portia to the vets urgently, why do you all need to go ?, is there nobody that can give you a lift ?, if your vet care is free why not call the vet and ask them to come out and see her as an emergency, I know my Mum has called out the vet before when she was unable to get to the surgery. My cats are suffering in this heat and they are eating and drinking but it must be horrific for Portia being ill as well. If I was closer I would come and pick you up and take you to the vets but I am just too far away
