Thanks, Tep. That’s actually a huge relief to hear. It’s just so unusual for Kaylee that I’ve been worried. They did give her a shot of Pepcid as well as the anti-vomiting meds last night, so I hope that helps.

Poor Kato. That’s not a fun career for any species.

We haven't had a land line in 8 years, and haven't missed it. I've been considering adding a fake land line through AT&T since it would only be $10/month added to our family plan (basically a desk phone on a cellular plan) just to have a family number that people could call if they needed to get in touch with "whoever is at home" vs specifically me or Ethan.

Our vet reminded us, "How hungry are you when you're throwing up? Maybe sometimes you are, but a lot of the time you probably aren't, because everything is so unsettled down there." Which is a fair point.

I would say "poor Kato," too, except half the time he brings it on himself, cheerfully eating grass like he discovered a hidden can of Pringles or something. "Hey, this grass is great! I'm going to eat some more! ...wait, now I don't feel so good..." Dogs, man.

Zoe has done the vomit and no appetite thing too. It freaks me out because normally she eats like she hasn't eaten in days. So ignoring food is very upsetting. And yet for no apparent reason it passes. Not fun.

I have never had consistent enough coverage to consider losing the land line. Sometimes it's brilliant, sometimes not. I'm not willing to take the risk of the power cuts either. I just like knowing it's there. Plus I call internationally, and my cell hasn't caught up with those charges.

Soooo if someone has realized they sprained an ankle, what's the best sort of compression wrap thingie to use? Any suggestions?

Oh, yeah. After I read that, whenever Kato barfed, no matter how gross it was, I'd still say "I made food! I'm magic!"

I always just used an ACE bandage, but that might have been because we always had them on hand, since my brother and I were prone to jackassery (and the resulting injury).

Also elevate the ankle and ice it.
