lemming Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Re: The cranky thread Thank you. Last word was that she seemed to be responding to the Benadryl, but that they are watching her to make sure that there isn't anything that they've missed. JoeG Sounds reasonable. We have a pretty strict protocol with vaccines at work. Someone monitors the cat for 15-30 minutes in case of reaction. We probably have a dozen per year. (Out of several hundred shots) And any that do have a notation in their chart that goes to whoever may adopt them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ternaugh Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Re: The cranky thread The Vet called this morning. They're running some blood tests and some x-rays today to see if there's anything else wrong. Apparently, in the morning feeding, she vomited--though that tends to happen with some kinds of wet food (which is what they gave her). I should know more later today.

CrosshairCollie Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Re: The cranky thread I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The bastards who write spyware, adware, and malware are subhuman, slimy, obnoxious, brain-damaged, soulless c**ts who need to die slow, horrible, lingering deaths in pools of their own blood and vomit.

Edit: Actually, I should change that to distributors. I can think of a few legitimate reasons to write malware (research among others) but there aren't any for distributing it.

Ternaugh Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Re: The cranky thread (really Happy Thread now) My cat's back home, apparently no worse for wear. The Vet's not really sure which of the injections triggered the problem, and has recommended that we never vaccinate her again. That should be okay, as our cats are exclusively indoor only. The only problem that I could see is if we need to board her in the future. JoeG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you could always look into a pet sitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For years I have been advocating tying them to a chair with their mouths gagged. PUt the chair in a room behind a computer station, with a little old lady at the computer. The absolute top of the line system with a dedicated T-1 link... He has to watch while she plays solitaire and checks her email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrito Boy Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Re: The cranky thread I made an ironic statement in another thread, somebody pointed out the meaning of my joke and got credit for it, while I got...nothing.
