Re: Lobster claw front paw, potential fusion surgery

That’s the first I heard of attempted correction too. I wouldn’t have let them try that with Lefty.

Re: Jury duty

I have to do it fairly often with my red Fire because it likes to refuse to do text-to-speech. The complete restart takes a couple of minutes or so.

Re: Pip diagnosis - Central cord syndrome

Those 2-headed brushes were too unwieldy for my liking with smaller critters.

Re: Jury duty

A hard reset for Fire is push the power button & hold until “Power off Do you want to shut down your Fire? Cancel Ok”. Hit Ok. Wait a minute or so then push Power button & hold until Fire restarts. Restarts take awhile.

Re: Pip diagnosis - Central cord syndrome

You have to use pet toothpaste, but I always liked using an infant toothbrush.

Re: Jury duty

Rather hard to believe, for sure! 🤣

Did you do a hard reset? If that doesn’t work I just this week succeeded with the old fashioned dead battery reset when nothing else would work.

If you’re that worried about his teeth you could brush them.

Re: Dolly

I could be precise with the dosing, but soaking the pill until it goes to pieces then dropping a crumb into the bowl seems to be working.

One shelter here will take even open bags & give them away, so it’s worth asking.

Re: Dolly

Meez's kidneys have improved some. The vet sent a link I looked at; I'll try to email it to you later. It said that kidney food can help with low potassium levels; I just put a bit of potassium in Meez's water once a week, so his is fine now.

Re: Dolly

If you’re going to stat with homemade I’d suggest a veterinary nutritionist, especially with kidney disease & the rest. You may have to add vitamins or the like.

I never had kidney cats seize, but if the toxins build up it’s easy to see how a seizure might occur. Have you done levels recently?
