Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

Yay for negative test, Teppy!

Hi all! I have a fully recovered cat on my lap and life is good.

Ma for my puppy please? Just dropped him off at the ER vet because he didn’t want to eat today, and when I finally got him to eat he puked it right back up. And then puked again with nothing in his tummy. And then wouldn’t even eat peanut butter!! So I took him in. Due to covid had to drop him off and they’ll call me when they’ve triaged.

Yay for negative test, Steph.

All the puppy ~ma, meara.

Yay for a healthy kitty, Volans.

Hi, scrappy!

My niece (22) just texted me to tell me that she and her boyfriend have started watching Buffy. Awwwww.

Ugh. Vet called back, they did an X-ray, she’s waiting to hear what the radiologist thinks about one spot. Possibly give him iv fluids for 8-12 hours, or possibly surgery. Cross your fingers for iv fluids!!

Poor pup. I hope he’s ok with IV fluids.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Puppy ma to Rory!

Hello scrappy!!

Volans, so happy to hear your kitty is well.

Our hospital is starting to having staffing shortages, or at least the nurses are working extra. I think perhaps because we aren’t closing whole departments and redeploying nurses? But these nurses are going to burn out (and Doctors too, but I only know the one and he is a trauma surgeon who was redeployed to the ICU the last time, and he seems to thrive on the stress).

Ann, that's a ferret.

Good luck and quick recovery for whatever it is, Rory!
