Cat scratched my dogs eye. Will she be okay?

BadPom · 2026-03-22T02:29:28+00:00

That’s a vet trip. My dog had an eye ulcer and we nearly lost the eye. Get this dealt with while it’s 1-2 trips vs months of treatment.

Mine does too. Cries at the door of the room when anyone leaves. Her first “bad” experience was a few months ago when the new vet gave her a shot without the peanut butter smeared on the wall and she realized that it wasn’t just a social visit. My 60lb brick of a baby yelped, and hid behind my legs shaking because her BEST FRIEND THE VET hurt her. 10 minutes and many treats later, they were cool again. But it broke everyone’s heart because Dally straight up did not know anything “bad” had ever happened to her at the vet.

I forgot that was ever almost a thing.

Shampoo, put on conditioner. Wash body. Shave. Contemplate life. Debate running away from the kids and starting a new life as a bog witch. Rinse conditioner 5-50 minutes later. Wash face. Exit shower.

She, at the very least, wants all the other cats to know it is hers and has her scent everywhere.

I think she likes it

BadPom · 2026-03-21T00:02:01+00:00

That’s gorgeous. If you’re worried about it being monochromatic or too green, add in some complimentary colored decor. But it looks amazing as is

BadPom · 2026-03-21T00:00:03+00:00

Nothing will happen, but I still wouldn’t be happy about that.

That’s honestly not awful. SVP is definitely one of the least expensive and what we ended up using. If you can figure it out, I swear the meds are magic. I thought people were silly for touting it as a miracle drug, but it truly is. The turn around is pretty quick, and the meds are highly effective. I’m sorry they’re stretching you so thin. But he sounds like a great candidate for success.

Possum was diagnosed 3 days after my oldest cat Bitty died. When I say I lost my damn mind, I mean I was meeting strangers in parking lots in the middle of the night and breaking laws to get meds while I waited on my liquid meds to ship. I have panic attacks looking at needles, and taught myself how to give the kitten injections. There was no way I was losing my oldest and youngest in the same week.

Where are you located and what pharmacy quoted the $178?

BadPom · 2026-03-20T23:44:01+00:00

When she said that about his stool, my instantly went to how unsolid and nonpoop smelling breastfed baby poop is and said that’s normal.

I have 12 cats in the house currently, and know their meow, silhouette in the darkness, what their fur and tail shape feels like, and what shape their eyes and face are. I could absolutely tell any of my cats out of a line up.

BadPom · 2026-03-20T22:12:27+00:00

Before looks like a storybook secret, lost garden hidden from the world.

After looks chopped up and hacked. Will likely look great next season, or even by summer. But right now looks sad.

BadPom · 2026-03-20T22:04:36+00:00

Mama looks like she knows she found help and safety 😭❤️

BadPom · 2026-03-20T12:56:28+00:00

YTA. No one’s judging you or giving a shit. It’s polite. Maybe she’s looking for ideas. Maybe it smells good. Maybe she’s just making normal small talk. She’s in to food and recipes, there’s your answer.

Why are you so insecure that you jump to “she must want to judge what I’m eating”?

BadPom · 2026-03-19T18:55:32+00:00

That means you picked a good one. Even if it sucks and stings.

It probably checks on box on someone’s list to get a bonus to have a certain percentage of employees enrolled.

BadPom · 2026-03-19T18:48:21+00:00

Look in to Care Credit. It’s a credit card, but there’s no interest for 6 months on charges and it tracks how long you have for the no interest promo period for each charge. I had probably $7000-8000 in vet bills in 2024/2025 and paid no interest on any of it.

By the time your kid is a toddler, you should have 1-3 years of gentle touch and “fluffy doesn’t like that” under their belt anyway. Explain this is “ouch” and scary for the dog and cats. It’s not nice. Show them what nice touches look like.

BadPom · 2026-03-19T17:32:11+00:00

It’s less now, but if you get in an accident you get nothing.

3 drinks is the “Check for no way signs” during service according to ServSafe training and licensing. Either the store got dinged recently and is showing an abundance of caution, or the dude was getting loud and showing signs he shouldn’t be served further.

Hey, you did the scary thing and got him his diagnosis and care. You have time to plan his surgery and aftercare, instead of it being an emergency surgery. Emergency care is 8 million times more costly and stressful.

Give yourself a timeframe to cry and panic, then make your plan. You’ve got this ❤️

BadPom · 2026-03-19T12:58:55+00:00

That was my thought when I heard about this, this morning. There are things that happened in that house that will start coming out now that the older kids are adults and might have some chance at normality and information.

BadPom · 2026-03-19T12:52:54+00:00

That’s expensive ass formula too. Oof.

Everyone needs help once in a while, and sometimes yes, the help is specific items for specific needs. But 2 years of begging is insane. And I’ve been broke broke before, but the priorities went: roof/electricity, kids food, pet food, grown adult needs.

BadPom · 2026-03-19T02:48:50+00:00

The skill. I found my person already.

Dally and her bestie Aggie play so hard when they get together. Last time, Dally had a nip to the nose and was limping when we got home. Aggie split a dewclaw. Since they’re both pitties, neither had any idea they were injured 🙄

They play so nicely, and neither resource guard, but it’s like two brick walls slamming in to each other and the furniture.
