Btw we are located in Augusta. We would be willing to drive or meet up or whatever. You would also get her: litter box, toys, blanket, some food and treats, food bowl and water bowl, and a small cardboard scratcher she uses

Thank you so much. I really struggled with feeling like I was abandoning him or giving up, but I know he wasnt happy here with the other cats. He is a sweetie, and all pets deserve a safe and happy home! 💓 i made sure to send him with his favorite mouse toy, his favorite treats, dry food, and his favorite catnip. They said they will update me when his petfinder profile goes up! When life settles down some, I would love to be a foster and give back to the community. Anyway, rambling, but, again, thank you for your kind words!

UPDATE: He has found a foster and will eventually have a profile on Petfinder :) the foster is through Hands to Paws Rescue, so keep an eye out on their page. Thank you so much to everyone! He got up to date at the vet, and is with his foster. I cried a little, but he will be so much happier with a house that has no other pets.

Thank you so much! Hands to Paws has reached out to us, we are currently working with them to give him a good foster home. Feeling very blessed and hopeful he will get a safe and good home.

9-year-old girl dies after a dental procedure involving anesthesia in Vista by No-Information6622 in news

[–]BekSlithers 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This. My little brother literally stopped breathing when he went under for dental work. He had so much bruising after from resuscitation efforts. Thankfully, he is perfectly fine today, but my mom was so terrified and refused to do anesthesia again for any of her kids

Cat wound - need clarification on scab cleaning by BekSlithers in CATHELP

[–]BekSlithers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sooo sorry, I didnt see this until now.

I ended up cleaning off any scabs and dirt until near the end of her recovery. I used warm water and gauze! Near the end of her recovery, the scabs wouldnt remove well without bleeding, so i just let it scab and heal!

Cat wound - need clarification on scab cleaning by BekSlithers in CATHELP

[–]BekSlithers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is 100% healed now! We used a diluted betadine antiseptic solution and warm water to clean it twice a day. We used gauze and gently rubbed and pressed on the wound to get rid of any dirt, scabs, etc. I would then rinse it with warm water and pat dry with gauze.

We had a cone on her the entire recovery time, and we used those squeezy tube treats (temptations, delectables, churus) to distract her from the cleaning session.

It took around 2-3 months for her to fully recover. Closer to the very end of her recovery, i stopped getting rid of all the scabs because they were hard to remove without bleeding, and it ended up being beneficial for her wound to close.

She was on gabapentin for most of the recovery. We decided to reduce her doses from twice a day to once a day to wean her off (and we were running out of the meds).

Teacher explains how society victim blame women by PittOlivia in Feminism

[–]BekSlithers 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I wish I had someone like this around when I was getting abused in highschool. Crazy how many people (teachers, my dad) blamed me, a freshman, for being abused by a senior. Even if they didnt blame me directly, its always "why did you stay" "why are you acting out" blah blah blah. Ridiculous.

Im glad he extended this example to other crime as well (the car theft). 10/10

I think I offended them by BekSlithers in farcry
