Re: 16-yo cat with pancreatitis / Remdesivir for FIP
If you like the pureed meat you can order such from a human wholesaler or restaurant place for probably less. Hospitals and nursing homes too, if you have an "in" anywhere. We're glad he's a little better!!

Re: 16-yo cat with pancreatitis / Remdesivir for FIP
If it's available for humans in the US, I don't see why you'd have to order it from Canada (unless it's cheaper, of course). People use stuff off-label all the time. If it were me with that tiny smidge of a pill I'd pop it in by hand, then if it hit spit and melted I'd consider that a win.

Re: Old-fashioned clothesline
I used mine considerably longer past the cracked stage. I expect you have turnbuckles on 1 end of each line, for tension because the lines stretch over time. If you're lucky you might have them on both ends, but they're more expensive.

Re: Newbie! Needing advice re knuckling and stiff feet
Once we got the right splint he took to it quickly. We had to kiss a lot of toads before that, though. It's absolutely possible he's more spastic some days than others; it's true of humans, too.

Re: Stirrup Help
Hmm. It's terribly important to prevent skin breakdown the best you can. Might a bit more cushioning help? I get what you're saying about scoliosis/kyphosis; my Ares, who was brain damaged rather than spinal cord injured, was bent and twisted, too. One of my SCI boys had to do 2 rounds of gabapentin...

Re: Old-fashioned clothesline
Oh, I just got those lines replaced when the post rotted. They last decades. Eventually the plastic breaks, lets water in, and the metal inside rots. It's not a big deal to replace the wires, should it be necessary. Sometimes the hardware--like the turnbuckles--is terribly annoying first.

Re: Keeping bed dry
:whale: Maybe changing the wrap more often might help prevent UTIs? The thing is that pee all over everywhere can and does cause skin breakdown and even chemical burns, so even a butt buzz cut and skin protectant spray might help on that score. Zinc creams need to be covered by a diaper or something...
