So the past year has been a very difficult one. My now ex husband and I decided to seperate last august (2008). I moved out shortly there after. Living on my own I couldnt afford internet access. I was barely getting by. Then in feb. of this year I left my home and my fur children and headed off...

One of my newest additions to the family is a little semi feral girl named scarlet. She was completely wild when we got her and we have only ever gotten her to trust me and my DH. (She will even still have "episodes" where she will claw at us) This is one of the reasons we haven't been able to...

Last week I took in a bottle baby kitten. She is about 2 and 1/2 weeks old now. Today I took her into work to have her looked at by one of the vets because she has be constipated. When the vet was examing her, she said that her kidneys where about 3 times the size they should be. Then I started...

Well, If you have ever read any of my posts you know that it's impossible for me to own a healthy cat... or dog for that matter. Well several months ago my husband brought home a feral kitten. We managed to get her fairly well socialized. She is still leary of strangers, but not bad for a...

Those who has read my posts before know I am no stranger to helping animals in need. Well, yesterday my husband was at work (he's doing a construction project at the local dump) and managed to catch a feral kitten. I can't get close enough to it to tell if its a male or female. Its somewhere...

My husband brought home a stray last night... We set him up in a bedroom where the other cats aren't aloud... This morning I took him in for FeLV/FIV testing... He tested a very weak postive for FeLV... I can't keep him because of all my cats I already have. I was hoping to find a person or...

Well, like always, another stray has managed to wind up with me. My husband was at a junk yard and found this beautiful himalayan cat. He is about a year old. He is bone thin... (you can't see the bones because of all the hair but you can most certainly feel them) He is covered in fleas...

Well its official... Little Cillian has stomatitis... not that I could ever have a normal cat.... Right now the vet wants to do pulse antibiotics... so 10 days out of every month he's going to be on antibiotics to try and control it for as long as possible. Has anyone else ever had a cat...

Last sunday I did a blood glucose curve on my cat Skylar. She had been on 7 units twice daily for about the past 8 months or so. I discovered her blood glucose was getting as low as 65. So my vet had me drop her down to 6 units... That afternoon I check her blood glucose... It was 45. I gave her...

Well its about 10:45 at night and I just got a knock on my door. It was a friend of mine. I open the door and she blurts out "I have an owl and I dont know what to do with it!"... "A WHAT?" "An owl! It was in the middle of the road. I dont know if it was hit by a car or what..." Well, I'm not...

I'm starting to worry because Skylar is getting to be very fat. The problem is, she is diabetic and I'm afriad not to free feed her because she almost bottomed out the last time i tried to put her on a feeding schedule. She is currently being fed purina DM. She honestly doesn't eat much to begin...

I was just sitting on the couch and had my little 9 month old kitten (Cillian) jump on my lap for some snuggling. I noticed his breath smelled bad. So I decided to have a look at his mouth. He has gingivitis. Its only red and inflammed near his teeth. No other reddness or swelling any where...

This poor dog was rescued from a person at a local military base. He was brought in to the vets I work at by someone else. The person with the dog is being arrested for animal abuse... He is a year old boxer. He only weighes 27 pounds and had to be bathed twice to remove all of the fecal...

About a month ago my father developed MRSA in a wound on his hand. He had to have it cleaned out twice and was given IV antibiotics... It has since healed... Now he's having SEVERE shoulder and knee pain. The pain in his shoulders is so bad that he can't raise his arms at all. The doctor he...

A couple of months ago, I noticed that someone had peed on the rug by my backdoor. I had just gotten done vaccuming so I assumed that whoever it was had been too nervous about me cleaning and had just decided to go there. It happened once or twice more until about last week. Now, they are peeing...

I use to get charley horses about once every 3 months or so, but lately its been more like once every 1-2 weeks. I also used to only get them at night and only in my calf muscles. Now I have been getting them in my biceps, arch of my foot, my calf, and my thigh at all times of the day or night...

So this time of year is vaccine time at my house. I brought my one cat Mew in yesterday for vaccines. As I was going through her record, I realized that when I brought her in for the first time, they never checked her for FIV or FeLV. So I had them send off a senior wellness profile since she is...

(sorry for how long this is) Ok, so about a month ago, I let my dogs out in the morning and was sitting out there with them. Now, I have pretty bad vision. I can't legally drive without my contacts in. So I went to call my 2 dogs to come inside, and only the one came. My other is known to get...
