No, Theo, you did good. No stupidity tax, just unknown tax.I wish I'd been online sooner to catch. Email me if you want pointers. Username.1 gmail. I'm outta that game but it was, what, a decade?

And frankly, cat will be fine,sounds like. I had to counteract insulin ODs with karo and never saw the vet because it was over after I clued in that his sugar had bottomed-staggering a definitive indicator- and sugared him and all was good. But since you're a novice, less stressy for them to monitor.

Theo, you are an awesome friend. Do you have paypal? Would like yo help you cover the expense.

Oh yeah, the vet I used to go to had separate entrance doors for cats and dogs.

I hadn't realized the ICU aspect to the story. I think you are right not to bother her with this, especially as he seems to be on the mend.

Yeah, not talking about it on Facebook where it's possible his Mom might see it.

No overnight communication from the vet, so that's good!

Man, I am fucking exhausted, and feel kind of bad about it, because I know I have not been working as hard over the past month as a bunch of my colleagues! I do not know how they are still functioning.

My current vet has separate entrances for cats and dogs, but the waiting room is shared. It's pretty big and they do try to get you into an exam room quickly. Covers for the carriers is pretty brilliant.

Sounds like you're handling the crisis well, Theo! I'm with msbelle on the cost, btw.

I gotta check my savings balance. Getting the engine rebuilt took a lot out of it!

So I went to pick up noisemakers from my friends'. I was not expecting to open the door to find Joe eating breakfast on the couch! I mean, he'd told me to use the key and all , so I assumed because they were gone.

He was expecting me more than I him. He was laughing his ass off at my startlement.

I totally feel like a creeper now...

Talked to the emergency vet this morning, guest kitty was fine through the night and I'm scheduling the "Hello Kitty Diabetes!" orientation this afternoon.

Excellent!
