Does your Cat (or any pet) misbehave since caregiving your loved one?
Have you been required to take care of your loved one's pet after they have passed? Does your pet have cute antics that entertain your loved one?
And finally, has the cat or dog transferred their loyalty to your Mother?
It is a great antiseptic and I have seen some amazing results using it in place of an expensive prescription cream.
I hope it helps.
And it’s made him behave badly! He won’t play with the dang thing the way it’s intended but he drags it around the house very loudly (because the handle bangs the wood floors and hit chair legs). I made the mistake of leaving it on the dining room table and last night after everyone else was asleep, I was watching the first 48 in the living room and all of a sudden I heard scurrying movements and banging! Scared me half to death and I thought for sure the whole house had been woken! I thought for sure hubby was going to stomp out of the bedroom and get on my case but he slept right through it. It was the cat, having found the toy on the table. He grabs the feather part with his mouth and drags the wand behind him. He did the same thing with the first wand too. So that is what all that racket was. And what gets me is, he does not like loud noises yet he drags this stupid thing all over the house making all this racket and it doesn’t scare him but the minute you wave the toy, he runs off scared! It is the silliest thing. You should hear the noise this thing makes as it’s dragged across the floor.
Luckily, the long string the feathers are attached to are attached to the wand with a piece that screws off so I took it off and now he can drag it all over the house in silence :-)
My cat has had his share of health issues lately. I may have posted that on here.
Anyway after his latest surgery late December he got at his sutures even with the cone on,they became infected, so we brought him to the vet where they prescribed oral and topical antibiotics. We put another even bigger dreaded cone on him which he has been wearing now for almost a month now. Longer even I think. His sutures were removed on the 14th of January but it still hasn't healed. I've been applying the topical antibiotic/antifungal/antiinflammatory ointment faithfully but still there is still one spot that looks red and inflamed. We have an appt. scheduled for Sunday to get it looked at but I'm afraid they being veterinarians will just follow the company line and say keep the cone on, keep applying the antibiotics etc. etc.
Does anyone on here have any experience with this type of situation and know of an alternative solution? I know a friend on here did suggest coconut oil which I applied and seemed to irritate it more. No problem.....I'm not mad about the suggestion. But if anyone has an idea please feel free to let me know on the public thread or privately
Meanwhile, carry on............didn't mean to get serious on a light-hearted thread.
He loses his egg to me AFTER the egg is peeled, ha ha.
Would Deviled eggs be good with a tart dill pickle?
Are you making deviled eggs for the big game?
What who when where? Is it football?
There are knockworst (we use them as hot dogs) on sale.
My bird can eat boiled eggs, but I forget and season it, then Tweety cannot have it! Tried 3 times now.
Dogs are people too!
Now, I have my bird....

But just one.
I take care of my mom and my dog loves her to pieces. She once told me that when I bring him to visit it makes her feel "normal" which I thought was interesting.
Bootsie loved you too.
Sad day for you 🙁
It breaks my heart to see her go.We've been through so much together and grown so close through the years.
While I am thankful for the very special time we had together,I am very sad she is gone.
She will be deeply missed~
I agree. It’s crazy to do that. Why die a dog’s hair?
I was channel surfing tonight and came across a show on cable about creative dog grooming - how these folks haven't been targeted by peta is beyond me
they dye dog's coats and cut them into mondo bizarro shapes and enter them into contests
one woman retired her standard poodle because his coat became damaged 😿
Pam, I've put out a Pam alert for all the deer in the universe. They've got your number now so be careful. ;)
Not sure if Tweety will be allowed to go out that night. He has a strict curfew of 9:00 p.m.
Online there are cat behaviorists that might give you some ideas for Bootsie.
Here is one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wpnem_ydofg ).
I have seen others that may have the answer for Bootsie.
I have never seen Tweety fly around so much, and tweet/chirp so much as today! ALL DAY, he has not stopped except for his nap.
Follow up to work on Bootsie's-cat problem.
Try the Rescue Remedy by Bach (flower essences).
I'm going to mention all this at the vet tomorrow. Maybe they can prescribe something for the nausea. I'm pissed off though cause I had made arrangements for someone to come to my home to take the sutures out and it was to be today but she cancelled at the last minute so I'm going to have to cab it out there tomorrow.
The drug can cause constipation.
Constipation can cause vomiting.
A worry would be an intestinal blockage, oh no, now you have to check if he is pooping correctly. Is he straining?
And watch him, make sure he is not confused and eating cat litter or poop after the surgery.
Used to be, a person could not go home after surgery unless they had pooped.
You can google foods like pears to help with constipation, but your cat eats cantaloupe? No wonder he likes cantaloupe.
I do hope this is a simple solution to the vomiting. Do call the vet.
Do you have an emergency vet in your area, Gershun? I wonder if you told the receptionist your question if she could relay it to the vet on call and he/she or the receptionist could call you back.
Otherwise, just wait until the morning to check back.
My daughter is visiting tonight. She is spending the night. She uses a vet near our home. The same vet we had for our last dog. My grandpuppy goes in for his vet appointment tomorrow morning.
Her little pooch was just diagnosed with Cushing disease. The meds caused bloody diarrhea for a day. They had to adjust the dosage. So Yeah, meds can cause issues. Guess they may have similar issues as humans with drugs.
Our pets are so sweet. They have their own personalities. They talk to us in their own way.
Well my neighbors in my first apartment after I married my husband, they had a pet that really did speak! Was the most adorable thing that you ever heard! I was in my early 20’s.
Gosh, these two elderly sisters had to be in their 70’s at least. I loved them! They baked the most delicious treats and invited me over to share a cookie or piece of cake, whatever they made. I think they felt sorry for me because I wasn’t a very good cook yet. Hahaha. They made sure I had a treat now and then.
They were kind of mischievous old ladies with a wicked sense of humor!
The first time I went into their apartment I heard what sounded like a male voice asking if I wanted coffee.
I looked at my neighbor with a puzzled look and told them I heard a man ask me if I wanted coffee. They were giggling at me. Then Sally said, “Oh honey, that’s just Fred.”
I knew they were widows! So, I just said, “Oh, okay,”. I didn’t want to pry. Then I kept hearing, “Do you want coffee?” Over and over again. They started giggling again.
Finally they showed me Fred in the other room. They owned a beautiful parrot that always asked guests about coffee because Nan and Sally always offered coffee with their cookies. Smart bird! Hahaha
