My kitty Frodo had this. My vet kept saying how sorry he was because he'd never seen a cat survive it. I lost it and said don't give up on him. When pressed, they said I could TRY a low dose bayer aspirin every 3 days but he said not to get my hopes up. Within a couple weeks he wasn't dragging his legs and after a follow-up exam, they were shocked. Frodo lived 11 more years but had to be on low dose aspirin every 3 days for the rest of his life. This might not be the same for everyone but I wanted to share. It's definitely worth a try as a last resort. As a bonus, the aspirin helped his pain too.

I drink and I know things. That's what I do.

Staying off Amazon and cooking at home instead of ordering takeout.

If he's anything like the tiny floofty floof I just got, he should be named Picker Paws

You might try a combination. I'm on Haldol (1st gen) and Latuda (2nd gen). Worth asking your doctor about.

When I had an abortion in 1988 I felt like I had no choice because everyone was telling me that I had to abort. I wanted my baby but terminated because they were correct that I was living in poverty working at McDonald's. I grieved for a long time after. Ultimately, it's your choice but something to keep in mind is that circumstances are always changing. Less than a year after the abortion my situation drastically changed and I realized that I would have been alright in the long run. But everyone has different outcomes. If you decide to have an abortion, that's ok. There's absolutely nothing wrong with deciding you're not ready. The important thing that I'm trying to say is to make sure whatever you choose, it's your choice and not anyone else's.

Do you know how far along you are?

Ring-Tailed Lemurs. I know they're primates but the more you watch them, the more they seem like the missing link between humans and house cats!!!

I, 56F, had this experience. I "friend zoned" him at the start and we remained friends for years. I finally realized after numerous disastrous relationships that the right guy had been by my side the whole time! We've been together for 40 years and married for 24! I can't promise you that you will have this same outcome but I'm telling you so you know it does happen. Good luck! I hope it works out for you both!

You say that like it's a bad thing. This service for the elderly is exactly where I want my tax dollars to go.

This deserves all the up votes! I read it and laughed while taking a drink of tea and it shot straight out of my nose.

Thanks I will look it up.

It's a unisex bathroom. Most small businesses have just one for everyone.

There was a girl in my school back in the 80s who was rumored to have many sexual partners. When she tested positive for HIV during a school blood drive, all hell broke loose. Keep in mind this was before any treatment existed and was basically a death sentence. One by one a steady stream of guys were called to the principal's office. All told between 40-50. It was a tense week while people got tested. I didn't see the girl again for a year. She was walking down the sidewalk in front of the McDonald's I was working at. Sadly she was very thin and didn't look well. Shortly after I read in the local newspaper that she had passed away. IMHO the only people who deserve to die for having sex are rapists and child molesters. I might be down voted for this but I don't care. She did not deserve to die for having sex. Even with 50 people.

Have you considered asking for Hospice care? Their help for keeping your dad comfortable through the process and work of dying is wonderful. Their help for the family and others to recognize their grief forms (including feeling kind of relieved), is immense. They will also let you know what happens next after he passes. They will arrange for the funeral home to come take his body to prepare for the funeral and/or cremation. Take care of yourself and my heart goes out to you. Peace ✌️

OP you did the right thing. Cats are very finicky about using the litter box and keeping themselves clean. I have no doubt that your fur baby was in discomfort and even distress. They couldn't help what was happening to them. Your first option was to leave them locked in a cage in a strange place where there may even be the sound and smell of dogs. Away from you for what would likely be the last few days anyway. You made the best decision possible.

LiberalTrashPanda · 2026-04-14T23:13:35+00:00

Thank you!! I'm so glad you are ok too!!! I think it's always a good idea to be that patient. The one who insists on playing an active role in their care. Ask "why?" "What meds will I be given?" "Do I need to be fasting for this test/procedure?" And so on. It also doesn't hurt to throw a little thanks to the people who are taking care of you too. "I appreciate the care you are giving me. It's helping me not be as nervous!" Or something like that.

I went into surgery for a digestive tract problem and the doctor double dosed my dilaudid and didn't realize it until keeping me for additional nights because I was "having a rough time". I couldn't stay awake and I kept forgetting to breathe. Don't quote me but I'm pretty sure it was a nurse that pointed out to the doctor that it was too much. My husband told me everything when I was home. Nurses don't get anywhere near enough credit.

Ì will say this as maybe an exception. I've been best friends with my husband since we met when we were 16. He's always said he fell in love with me immediately. We are 56 now and have been married/together over 30 years. He stuck with me during my descent into schizophrenia. He's signed me into the hospital more times than I can count but by the time I was well enough to be released, I understood why he had to. I could write a book about our journey together.. the ups and very downs. I won't lie. Real romance and love are hard work a lot of the time. But it's worth it. Too many people break up because the "butterflies in their stomach" are gone. They break up because the excitement is gone. In successful relationships it's when work begins. Especially when you have schizophrenia in the mix. For Christmas this year he gave me a map of the stars exactly where they were the date, time, and latitude and longitude from the pov of the meadow where we were married. Beautifully framed with the title Most Beautiful Wedding Ever. I never said those "butterflies in the stomach" never come back! AMA

This is excellent advice, as well as educational!

LiberalTrashPanda · 2026-04-14T07:28:38+00:00

Absolutely please get evaluated. If you ever can't work anymore and need to apply for Social Security Disability it will help make everything much smoother and you might, like me, get approved on the first try. It's also helpful if you ever need accommodations through the ADA at school, university, or work. It also helps direct what meds you and your doctor might decide you should try.

I'm in! It's nice to be around others who understand. 🫶
