I have a verdict on Rose --
The good news -- no fleas!
The bad news -- the hair loss is an allergic reaction to -- something. The vet doesn't know what, she said it could be anything. The curtains at the front window, the carpet, dust mites. But there's no way to tell. She did give her a steroid shot but that's a short term fix.
I called the lady I got Rose from and she seemed reluctant to take Rose back, she wants Rose to find a forever home. And I'd like to keep her, but really this isn't fair to her. The cat is obviously miserable and she can't stay here. So I have to call her after work and tell her I'll bring Rose to her. Which is sad because she's such a sweet cat.
I'm sorry Rose could not stay with you, Askye.
Toddson, I half expected to see a panorama of Jesus making zombies, done in Peeps. That photo is much saner and far less creepy.
And yet, you thought of it.
Backs away from WS slowly
What?
Toddson, you said "sweet". You said "zombie". You said, "Jesus". Peeps are undoubtedly THE creepiest candies around - seriously, not even gummy worms compete. Where else could my mind go?
::ssshhhh:: Fay's a skimmer, pass it on.
Tep, that link worked fine for me.
Cash, don't feel bad, I knew how to pronounce it before I knew how to spell it. The first time I actually saw them in the bakery I didn't recognize them because of the discord between spelling and pronunciation.
And I have two boxes of them just for meeee! Raspberry and lemon. I may have to visit people to get rid of some of them. Neither of the grocery stores I stopped at sold them as singles, so I was forced (forced, I tell you!) to buy boxes.
askye, I started to post earlier that I had a cat with allergies who would get tiny hives and lose fur. In her case, it was seasonal, and usually one cortisone shot a year would do it. Rose's could be something like that.
So, I fell this morning. I ripped up the palm of my right hand pretty damn good. Part of it is still bleeding. Or possibly it's puss (that would be bad, right?).
Why is it always something?
If it's clear, it's not puss, vw. It's just the plasma. Puss takes time to form after an infection. The liquid contains stuff that will help heal the wound and scab over. Just clean it with hydrogen peroxide and dab it with a little gauze pad. Keep it clean as possible.
Don't make me get out the bubble wrap, vw.
