gigamatic

Chester is not doing any better, i dont think. The Sis gave me a few pointers and said "do NOT let them give chester another cortisone shot. at that dosage, and his age, it's likely he could get diabetes among other health issues. they've given him a WHOLE MONTH's dose, twice in two weeks."

She suggested a hot pack, antibiotics, and a coating of that liquidy bandage stuff, and cutting his back nails, which she volunteered to do when she's here.

I am wondering if it's possible he had a small abrasion to begin with, and has aggravated it with his scratching and putting dust from the "special crystal" cat litter in it.

I'm calling the vet this afternoon if it still looks as bad. I'll try to find the cat nail clippers when I get home.

When she told her husband how much our (dog) vet charges for anal gland squeezing, he said they should move back to Cowtown.

I've had a headache for the last two days. I woke up gritting my teeth. I havent slept well in over a week. I had to run home after my 8am meeting to make sure I had let the dog back in the house (I did, but I was paranoid and I couldnt remember). And I think I might be getting a sinus infection. Again.

So, two things I MUST do tonight: Taxes, and find the pet nail clippers. Hopefully, I can sort the remaining mail and pick up in the dining room and living room, along with moving the bed rails and footboard to the garage, to get them out of the way. Then, I can get the packages labelled and mail ready to go.
