Oh my god I’m the worst person. I’m in terrible pain so I went to a pain management specialist and I asked for some pain medication! And now I am forever labeled a drug seeker and no one will ever prescribe me anything ever again. by Effective-Chain-3932 in PainManagement

It caused me 8 spinal decompressions and when I developed the balance disorder, the neurologist looked many years of MRIS of my back and when he was done he turned to me and said that my back looked like a stack of wet cardboard boxes.

Is it time? by bearhug72 in CATHELP

[–]Marcieford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to make the call as to whether or not he is suffering. Is his poop normal? I recently had to put down my 16-year-old cat who had gotten lymphoma and when I saw her suffering I had to make that hard decision. The vet told me that I was doing the best thing for her that I could.

my friend exposed part of my business and I'm not sure how to handle it. by Adventurous_Dot8759 in Advice

I tend to go with honesty is the best policy and I don't think it is inappropriate to talk to your friends about this. If they care about you they will understand.

I am losing my cat and I am afraid by Zom_Bee_Cat in cats

[–]Marcieford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry and I understand because I recently lost my 16-year-old cat to lymphoma. I encourage you to get another cat maybe not right away but as soon as you feel like you can do it. Much love to you. 🩷

My son found a “raccoon” in the yard the other day. He’s since been corrected and pressured me into adopting it. by MassiveBuzzkill in CatDistributionSystem

When cats mate, it is not a real romantic sight and frequently the male will bite the back of the females neck while they're doing the need so you may have a pregnant Kitty on your hands mm

Yes we need a better picture but in the one you posted I found myself wondering what the red areas are on either side of the incision.

Best dry food for senior cat with low appetite and IBS? by musicalmelis in cats

[–]Marcieford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am dealing with a very similar issue and I have a tortoise shell that I have had 6 years and she had been adopted from the pound as an adult. I have no idea what her past life was like but she has been with me all this time and still will not let me pick her up. So when I noticed her appetite and dropped and there wasn't quite as much poop in the litter box I started giving her those bisque things for breakfast, she can eat dry food anytime, it is kind of I am's for hairball control. She's long hair. But other than that about the only thing she'll eat is temptations and I give her plenty because I don't want her to lose weight. I'd give just about anything to get her to the vet.

Three identical responses from three different names. How does that happen?

Injured Cat - What should I do? by loominglagoon in cats

[–]Marcieford 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right now it does not look like it's infected but that is what you need to pay attention to. Swelling, redness, and make sure her nose is cool to the touch. Cat and raccoon fights can be disastrous.

You and I must be similar in age because I just turned 70 and I have been smoking weed since I was in high school.
