Et ce matin, j'ai pris le temps d'expliquer a un papa et a sa fille que leur chatte, qui a exactement l'âge de l'adolescente, est en train de mourir d'insuffisance rénale.
Et je l'ai euthanasiée dans ses bras.
Et oui je suis là aussi pour ça. Et j'en suis fier.
Mais putaaaaaaaain #vet#urgence#veterinaire
I'm taking Shylo for a check-up on Monday. Fasting for 4 to 6 hours? I better eat a big breakfast by 8AM, then. I'm going to get pretty hungry by the afternoon. Shylo watching from her warm Sunday sunbeam as a neighbor dog gets escorted to its outdoor litterbox...
Une p'tite journée de douze heures aujourd'hui.
Et l'astreinte commence.
Prochaine période de repos lundi soir vers 19h. #TheShowMustGoOn#vet#veterinaire#urgence
Friday evening.
Cat ate dinner.
Cat thought dinner was too small.
Cat decided he wants a dessert.
Cat swallowed a rubber party glass marker.
Cat went to vet.
Cat couldn't take ipecac due to heart disease.
Cat got RTG.
Cat not happy.
Cat went to a different vet, with endoscopy and life support 24/7.
Cat waiting in line.
Who has multiple cats in a home with a pet with a special diet?
Parker is currently, and likely lifelong, on a prescription diet. It's sorta expensive.
I might be adopting TWO cats. Is there any way around just feeding them all, and ONLY, the prescription food forever?
If I give them treats and hold him back parker will go completely insane. He is already searching for the old food and scratches doors where he thinks it is.
Today we (#cats Lady Ada Lovelace & Sir Alan Turing, humans me & @hadez) went to the #vet who said they are fine and healthy :yayblob: except for their teefs which have a bit of calculus[0]. We shall have it scraped next time.
She does not like the #medicine on the back of her neck and sulks, as you can clearly see in this picture ;)
We are getting to where Minnie needs to get spayed, the Humane Society says its going to cost $300 because she has a herniated umbilical cord and this is the time to fix that sort of thing so she can only have 1 invasive surgery.

Parker's special food comes today, I'm not sure it'll help but I hope it does.
Anyone have experience feeding a cat ONLY canned wet food? I've always had dry food for him but he has to only eat this and hopefully it'll solve his GI problems.
he doesn't 'binge' so I've been giving him about a third of a can in the morning then at night bc it's hard to tell how much he'll eat.
Commencer à 8h. Terminer à 20h30.
Si ce n'était que ça ce serait déjà lourd. Je n'ai pas le temps de me réjouir d'une prise en charge particulièrement réussie (le chat de ce week-end) qu'un chiot meurt après 1h de vie, sur décision de césarienne tardive.
Courir d'un veau avec une omphalite à une portée de chiots a vacciner, accompagner la difficile discussion qui suit la découverte d'un cancer douloureux sur un vieux chien.
Et toujours devoir donner le meilleur. C'est normal. #vet#veterinaire
Sometimes they take you to a noisy, confusing place. Luckily you have a fort and a pillow case to keep you safe!
What the heck is my brother doing over there??
Way back when, I wrote a thread on house rabbits, and how they're different because they are prey animals, not predators like cats and dogs. That thread starts here: https://mindly.social/@cazabon/109882459730036423
One thing I didn't mention is that, like many other prey animals, they are extremely good at hiding health problems. You've heard how the jackals will separate the weak or sick member from the herd; prey animals evolve to disguise being sick or weak.
So you have to watch rabbits a little closer for problems. By the time you actually see that they're "a little #sick", they may in fact be quite sick indeed. Add to this that rabbits can be prone to G.I. #stasis (which I understand is also a big deal in #horses, and probably #donkeys?), which can be fatal very quickly, and it means you need to keep on your toes.
If your rabbit isn't well - uncharacteristically refusing food or something - get them to an #exotics#vet#pronto.
#Lena, who I've written about, suddenly showed signs of #pain yesterday - rapid #breathing, hunched #posture, little interest in #food. I couldn't find anyone who would look at her yesterday, but had her at our #vet this morning. It turns out the delay didn't change anything.
She was in congestive #heart failure. Clearly this is something that doesn't happen overnight, but she seemed literally 100% fine the day before. She was given hours, not days, by the vet.
Beurk beurk beurk les médicaments pour chiens ça n'a bon goût que pour les chiens 🤮
C'est qui qui vient de se faire une magnifique exposition a la leptospirose ? (sang + vomissures de chienne en train de mourir de ça sur une coupure très récente de la main) #vet#veterinaire
My Sibling's cat had a nasty eye infection and they had to take them to an emergency vet visit.
Thankfully after all the tests they established it was just a nasty infection, so he'll be fine with no lasting damage... save to my sibling's wallet.
The vet bill is nearly $600 and my sibling could really use help paying for it.
Currently I only have Cash App set up for myself ( $ShiriBailem ), but when my sibling has a chance to charge their phone I'll edit to add their payment info as well.
Edit: My sibling has a paypal account at tubularseries@gmail.com if you'd like to send them help directly.
Liquid antibiotics for a cat? Might want two people, tends to be helpful? Thanks, great advice. Maybe you could have shown my wife how you administered the meds instead of doing it in the back?! Now if you'll excuse me, I have a strong need for the first-aid kit.
