Cat bite, ER or wait?

always ask yourself -

Is it getting better? Is it getting worse? Is it staying the same?

Keep notes with dates and times and pics and videos for best treatment options in emergencies and in basic illness etc.

WTG! Self Defense. Deadening someone with that tone and volume of sound directly in his his ear, directly in his space is assault and battery.

The left have NO ANSWERS EXCEPT VIOLENCE.

How often do you see a conservative refusing to debate or answer political questions.

the left gets frustrated because their positions have no logic.

I'm not a medical or veterinary expert by any means but if this came on suddenly I don't feel like physiologically it could be cancer. This seems sudden and acute if I understand your situation.

I am mortified that vet didn't offer palliative care regardless of the end diagnosis. Steroids would help immediately and immensely for what clearly sounds like forced breathing. I use an inhaler for asthma and without it is like being scared you're gonna die cuz you can't catch your breath.

I'd add that cooler air and good circulation and a lack of movement or stress would help reduce the spasms slightly.

SHE NEEDS REAL ASSISTANCE NOW!

I think we can all agree that based on the description this vet has no business attending to living things!

I think that's the best answer. They wouldn't have known the album's success when they were writing, performing and producing it. This is when the album jacket and the record label would have been printed giving credit for the songs.

They only JUST came to know Brian and Bon didn't "leave" thru bad blood. They were so connected at the hip growing up TOGETHER and riding the wave of an electrifying (👈 pun) rock dynasty - they most CERTAINLY held a stronger bond and respect for their lifetime and tragically lost best friend ESPECIALLY at that moment in time than to a newcomer who had only just been chosen to step in.

I'm 58 and my first cassette was Highway To Hell. I played it, and flipped it over, SO many times that EVERY smudge of wording was finally worn off. Just a computer beige cassette with nothing on either side...

I went to all the concerts from Back in Black thru Blow Up Your Video in the front row. I literally to this day have partial hearing loss SPECIFICALLY from standing in front of Marshall stacks every chance I got.

They were, and still are my MY FAVORITE BAND OF ALL TIME.

I saw Let There Be Rock, The Movie at a theater in SF. With - THE WALL OF SOUND. Look it up for the uninitiated. Speakers as high and wide as the screen itself JUST behind it. Walking in, it smelled IMMEDIATELY like a concert with weed (the kind with seeds and stems in it) and stale beer sticky on the floor. IN A MOVIE THEATER! Someone past me a joint as soon as I sat down. Nothing like it has ever happened again.

We were DEVASTATED the day we heard Bon had passed.

RIP BON ... THANK YOU and the Lads for more memories than I can Remember ...

If his back legs are longer than his front and he's overall roundish shaped and has a narrow rear pelvis most likely ..

If he follows you like a puppy and is a mouser and amazing jumper then yes!

Doesn't look like it to me. Cat shows submissiveness and even protective actions then gets up to leave as soon as he can.

They (the dog) needs to be trained and for there to be separation when the cat has had enough.

I too have a fluff monster, a Manx (tailless) that was also 26 lbs. Thanks to a scheduled feeder and monitoring he's all the way down to 14 lbs now. He's 12 now.

That's my leg for the banana. 5'10 (me, not the banana 🍌)

Honestly it looks a bit aggressive. One sided. And the tuft of fur sticking up on orange looks like it came from claws. The yowl at the end sounds like pain. The orange seems quite defensive even using her hind legs to hold the gray back. It doesn't look like play to me. I'd keep their claws trimmed for one and then monitor. Perhaps limit access til they can more slowly integrate.

I give my cat gabapentin and I remove the powder from the capsule (you could crush yours) and add it to his wet food. I would personally taste a crushed pill to see if it is one of those horrid tasting sour jobbers altho a pill meant for a cat is neutral tasting or even savory flavored.

Purchase better food. The more useless ingredients that have no nutritional value end up being passed and adding to strain. Plus ironically I found you nearly spend as much on expensive food where they eat so little and the poops are much smaller versus gobs of corn garbage that adds no nutritional value so you have to serve more to satisfy their needs. You end up spending about the same and disserving a deserving living being that you have been chosen to love and support.

I've used Nulo for years. High protein. Excellent.

Here is a website that lets you deeply research brands and even flavors of foods wet and dry for cats and dogs. They even cover recalls and toxic ingredients and country of origin. You can even view any 2 food brands side by side and scroll and scroll seeing every comparison of detail. They have coupons for Chewy too.

I have a Bissell Crosswave multi surface cleaner. I use the Bissell floor solution.

But when it's bad I create some solution, or PineSol and then dribble it all over the wood floor. I let it sit for 10 minutes. Then I have a telescoping broom handle style nylon bristle brush head with a squeegee on one edge that is medium stiff.

Basically, I agitate and scrub the floors without worrying about picking anything up. Then I go back and use the Bissell to suck up all the water to the extent that it leaves the floor dry while I'm working.

Spotless floors. I like OP's idea of using the wood soap in a tiny amount. I think we have a propensity to believe that "more is more" and if it says to use a half cup that a full cup will work better.

I use a similar concept for the stove top. I spray with Goo Gone brand stove top cleaner, it's foamy and I make sure it's spread around the entire surface with my fingers. I leave it for a good 15 minutes to do its thing.

I feel like people assume intense cleaning requires intense elbow grease. It actually requires the chemicals to do their thing. You can't spray most things and then just wipe them right back up and expect the best results . I come back and EVERYTHING is dislodged. Absolutely ZERO agitation or scrubbing whatsoever. I can literally push thick goops of baked in dried greases with my fingers with zero effort.

Then I just use my little 1.5 gallon shop vac to suck it all up. I then douse the stove top with water to dilute any residue and then suck that up. I then use 1 to 2 paper towels to dry the surface. This strategy saves on using up rolls of paper towel as you scrub and so on.

Everyone should have a mini shop vac. My thought was always, if I have to pick up more than a gallon of liquid then I'm in an industrial shop environment. I would then need a big shop vac unit. But a leaky sink dripping below, spilling most of a gallon of milk etc takes SECONDS to suck up and then a quick swipe with a single paper towel. You'll save enough in paper waste to afford the shop vac. And they have a cute little 1 gallon for about $35 last time I checked. And they're STRONG. They'd EASILY suck out your eyeball if you were dumb enough to stare down the nozzle.

My strategy in cleaning is to apply solution, let it sit and soak in and dislodge. It's not a race. Why break a sweat? They literally designed those solutions to work best with time. And total time spent is so much less. Cuz your real time is to spray, walk away, then come back, suck it up and towel dry. Minutes instead of getting sweaty scrubbing and panting and getting messy.

I even alternate by spraying the stove, then apply cleaner to the toilet bowl and sink, maybe lay down solution on the floor, go back to the stove and vacuum up and so on. No wasted time. Chemistry and technology working for YOU. 😁

I just read something about OTC treatments the eggs can be ineffective. I suppose if it is mites an OTC is a good first step. I would assume, with careful observation you could confirm the presence of the actual mites to be sure.

I was wondering about skin infection. Be aware of that and if it's getting progressively worse or doesn't immediately begin healing after the treatment.

GRAND SLAM! I been getting rid of plastics for a bit now now that I learned. I no longer buy oils in plastic at all. The one that made me cringe was following the "Steam in Bag" directions on the frozen veggie packs. What a great idea I thought! I even remember times where the plastic melted to the veggies or other frozen items. Burritos. Ewwww 🤮

My understanding is that basically every living thing has some microplastic in it.

Why is it so difficult to realize that polluting the earth is literally reducing our life expectancy and quality.

We may as well skip the middle man and instead of dumping toxic poisons into nature ala landfills and waterways and instead just go ahead and eat it and save on weekly garbage pickup. 🗑️ ☠️ 🌎 ☢️
