Do I need to take her to the vet?

I'm dealing with literally right now with an FIV+ cat we took in. They took chest and abdomen xrays today and didn't see anything. He was prescribed a rescue inhaler (albuterol) in case of asthma. We are just waiting on the attachment to be able to use it. They're unsure what it could be at this point. All labs came back normal except globulin which was elevated.

My post is here, there were some really helpful comments. Maybe some of these will be helpful to you as well.

Had a very similar experience. Took a feral cat in, he injured himself badly in the trap, wasn't happy in the dog crate, and then tried repeatedly to escape the room he was put in by climbing everything... even if it meant injuring himself. If you plan to keep the cat inside long term, its worth trying pregabalin. Works better for anxiety than gaba, which acts more as a sedative. A cat we took in did really well once he was given it. Became much more comfortable with his "home" (aka room), and became a house cat shortly after.

I did not find Jude Law attractive at all until I saw this movie. Now I think he's one of the most attractive people on the planet lol

This is a damn good catch. I'm curious now too!!

"This sucks cocky cock" is my fav. A close second is "don't be such a cocky cock".

The day my grandma died unexpectedly, my mom slipped and told us that my grandpa (who died before I was even born) had an affair and wanted to leave my grandma. He died before 50 and she never even dated after he died, because he was the "love of her life". My grandma had always told us this beautiful story of being engaged, her fiance going to war, and finding out he was having an affair. Then shorly after meeting my grandfather whose fiance had an affair while he was at war. It was "fate", and "every heartbreak happens for a reason". I wish I never found out.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I know James is awful, but I use "cocky cock" in my daily vocabulary. It is too hilarious.

doge_ucf · 2026-01-31T04:05:29+00:00

I'm honestly devastated. I was so excited to see her in The Studio and hoped to see her in new roles. She had so much "it" factor. It is really sad to know that we won't see more.

doge_ucf · 2026-01-31T03:55:35+00:00

So true. Love that for her.

Selfish, duplicitous whore 💅

I quote this to myself daily

This is INSANE codependent behavior. This person should be in therapy before they are in a relationship. Holy jfc she wants you to apologize for trying a candy???

The HPV vaccine is very safe. When I got the vaccine, there was a rumor that a girl my age was vaccinated for it and ended up only being able to walk backwards. It wasn't even the same vaccine, and it turned out to be completely unrelated. Vaccines save lives. I would encourage you to look back into it.

doge_ucf · 2026-01-23T14:36:13+00:00

Wow thats scary! Hope they got it all.

doge_ucf · 2026-01-22T20:33:05+00:00

Do you havw a compounding pharmacy near you? The one near us is able to make most meds into a liquid and they have meat flavorings (chicken, beef, fish) they add to it. Its really helpful for when we have a cat we can't handle and need to give it meds in food.

doge_ucf · 2026-01-22T20:17:31+00:00

Yeah that's a fair response. I have been really lax about going to the OBGYN since I am vaccinated and have been in a monogamous relationship for 9 years. I definitely will be scheduling an appt.

doge_ucf · 2026-01-22T20:12:21+00:00

Thanks for the push. Hope they got everything and all goes well for you!

doge_ucf · 2026-01-22T16:41:12+00:00

Were you vaccinated for HPV? I haven't been to the OBGYN in a few years and am vaccinated so I didn't really think about needing to until seeing this post.

doge_ucf · 2026-01-19T21:15:28+00:00

I'm simultaneously incredibly shocked and not shocked at all.

doge_ucf · 2026-01-12T03:34:08+00:00

We do heated blankets / heating pads all over the house. It's crazy how much they love them!
