Yikes Kathy!
I just made an appointment for Clio to see why she's chewing the hair off her hind paws. I want to find out if it's some kind of parasite. I don't know how much that will set me back. I'd rather it be a parasite than stress or an allergy, because those might take a long time to find/heal.
I'm totally up for a virtual 5K.
You all just reminded me both cats need to be taken in for shots.
I've been meaning to do the couch to 5k thing now that my hell month is over. Count me in!
The main reason I took Amarna in was because she was overdue for her rabies shot. That's what cost the most--$94 for a three year shot. At least it's done until 2014.
Yeah, a good ethical vet is worth their weight in gold. I am willing to pay a little more for the care we consider adequate. Although I should admit that the SO barters everything. So he barters music lessons for vet services, which is AWESOME.
I wish I had any barterable skills!

I had a cat with seasonal allergies than made her skin get crusty and itchy and it only took a cortisone shot a year to deal with it.
OMG, the one person that makes sense to me on this project is leaving the company and nobody told me. Drifty, drifty, adrift.

That's good to know. Clio's 9, and this is the first time she's had anything like this before. She's frequently at her feet, but not excessively, and she's scratching her ears quite a bit, so I'm thinking it might be mites. Her ears look clean, but I don't know...
