Post something that made you UNHAPPY today.

blackicmenace,

Thank you again for this song you sent me in July. I decided to post it here because it goes so beautifully with Somewhere Over the Rainbow (over which, I've nearly stopped crying).



Is

Pectin is her friend and yours - completely safe for her, high fiber. Ask your vet for an oral syringe, or buy a pediatric dosing eyedropper at the drugstore, and pectin is with the canning supplies. About as much as would fit into a small capsule, in a tablespoon of warmed water - baby formula warm. Dosing a liquid through their side teeth becomes easy surprisingly quick (if you haven't already done this); they're very smart, they "get" it when they start feeling better.

Desitin for the sore rear. Use a glove or finger cot, she'll flinch at first but it's so soothing that she'll welcome it remarkably quickly. A little goes a long way, you don't want it rubbing off on furniture.

I had to tube-feed a very sick kitty for several weeks, and it worked, it saved her life, but until I figured out the pectin trick, I was sitting on the side of the bathtub washing her poor little hinder end twice a day. Without Desitin she'd never have lasted. She would purr when I applied it... poor love.

I had a large comfy cage rigged up for her, big enuf for a small litter box, lined with puppy training pads and a bed made out of towels, so accidents and Desitin spots were confined to a small easily cleaned area... had her for five more years after all that, and it was absolutely worth every moment of effort. She was a darling, darling cat.

Avoid Kaopectate. It is no longer kaolin and pectin, they "improved" it and it's bismuth subsalicylate, toxic to cats.

I hope the site will let this post go through, it suddenly decided I was a bot when I tried to edit my post above to add this info, so I'm posting separately.

The bank mailed me a letter telling me to phone it to tell it that I am still alive

Otherwise it would close my bank account

And I did

She asked questions that I didn't know the answer to

And I was afraid of a "miscommunication" that resulted in me losing $$$

And then she told me to go to the bank

So I did

And after talking to three different people, finally figured out that all I had to do was deposit one dollar.

@ Esmarelda - Thanks for the info. I'm glad you were able to nurse your kitty back to health. One of the things the vet has prescribed contains Pectin, and no Kaolin, so I am pleased about that. They also prescribed Trichozole - antibiotic and anti-inflamatory. Also 6 Days of special gut healing food. It cost a fortune but I do have pet insurance so should be able to claim some of it back. Things have settled down considerably now and she is very much on the mend. I think she will be OK in the bathroom with her carry cage which is lined with incontinence sheets and her litter tray. There is no more 'leakage'. She is feeling quite subdued but so much better than yesterday.

Yes this site is very flaky and doesn't like us editing posts. It seems to be Cloudflare's anti DDoS mechanism..

one hour to access? oh another wp-suicide-saturday?

the (other) neighbors thought the suicide-attempt was to get attention, too
good that im not the only thinking this,
how slapstick does it get, except its dark, narcisstic or demon filled, straight to the wall and spreading it around,
the whatever of whatever, who cleans up the mess?
what do these doctors think, another pill and back home again?
- spending thousands on reparations on selfinflicted damage

what i find strange is how clairly visible narc behaviour gets with the old age,
the Fil was also quite unhinged the last time i visited
in the face of death, stick to your guns
do they want statues so high it would damage the sky?

I could get permanent nerve damage if I keep programming too much.

Waking early.

anxiety.

I am tired this morning. I am moving slowly.

frustrated with a stereoization task that went awry.

feeli0,

How is your cat doing?

Hi IstominFan - She is doing very well today. Really bounced back after the worst night on Friday. Still keeping close by me in case the stomach monsters come back. She manages to communicate with me very well. Such a relief that she is OK. I wondered if she had been poisoned but I think she just ate something disgusting. The vet said we could investigate further but as that would be expensive they would try and cure the symptoms and if not they would take it further. So fortunately she is back to her usual self.

Good to hear!

still no pipe



boo

My thumb is doing a lot better, I can use it a little. But there's one tiny spot that's not where the stitches are & that spot still looks the same as it did when I 1st noticed it a couple days after I cut my finger. It also still hurts when I put pressure against it. I'm wondering if it could be a splinter from the metal of the can. I'll have to mention this when I get the stitches out Tuesday unless it's doing abit better.
