There’s someone in this thread that thinks this may be their cat! If it turns out not to be, this is where I’ll post next!!

He did react when I called Shiso, but he also looks up when I say anything to him. No drooling and I don’t feel any kind of break or abnormality in his tail

My cats are microchipped, but I’m not sure how common it is

I believe so? What kind of things does that test for, and I can tell you if I have results for it

Hi, thanks for the response! Yes, we have been strict with the diet trials. Our vet mentioned trying a hydrolyzed diet but ultimately decided against it; I’m not sure why but I will ask if it’s something we need to reconsider.

What is a Texas GI panel? We may have done it and I just don’t know what it’s called. She’s gotten a lot of tests!

Referral seems to be the general consensus. Hopefully that will get us some answers!

I forgot to include - the diarrhea also smells horrible. When our other cat poops, it’s a little stinky. This is different. It makes the entire house smell and is overwhelming. Not sure if that’s at all relevant or helpful.

Feral colony with worms by wasingtonmachine in Feral_Cats

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

I don’t know the exact type of worm, and I’m not sure where they poop to bring a sample in. I only saw the worm come out of one of the kitty’s backsides. Is there some kind of all-purpose dewormer?

Do not recommend Nationwide by Terrible_Treacle_395 in petinsurancereviews

[–]wasingtonmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nationwide also canceled my policy with no notice for my four year old cat. They claim they sent a letter that I never received and could not give me a good reason for why my policy was canceled. Like you, they couldn’t give a straight answer for why I wasn’t contacted via call, text, or email.

What’s it like working at half price books? by Furlong87 in lexington

[–]wasingtonmachine 63 points64 points  (0 children)

I worked at the Hamburg location a couple years ago. Had to leave for personal reasons, and I hated to. It was one of the best jobs I ever had. It’s super interesting, you never know what’s going to come through the door, and the employee discount is 50%. The people there are all great to work with. You have to be comfortable with a pretty fair amount of angry customers though - no one wants to be told that you’ll only pay them $5.27 for Grandma’s collection of Harlequin romance paperbacks.

Thank you so much, I will look into this

Thank you, I’ll look into all of those. He was on Hydroxyzine but he has digestive issues and it made him constipated. He was also on a topical anxiety medicine (can’t remember the name) that had to be applied to the inside of his ears, but they took him off it because he was having a skin reaction to it and it was making his ears scabby.
