We have lost another older kitty a month ago. My sweet little tortoiseshell girl named Toffi. She would have been 16 this year. Only Maxi the white Maine Coon left now and the torties ofcourse. Maxi bothered by allergies this year and scratching the hair off his back legs and belly... i have not had the money to get him tested, whatever I had I was using to get help for poor Toffi. She was having hard time last few days... but vet gave him cortisone shot which helped some. Anyways, now with the second income I'll be able to chip away several hundred... ughhhh!!! If only that! Blood work, skin biopsies... Damn! I would have had houseful of pets but man! is their medical upkeep expensive!!!
Sorry to hear about Toffi, Ewa and hope Maxi will be OK.
Vets are expensive but they know we'll pay it for our lovely pets.
We have a charity in the UK called PDSA (peoples dispensary for sick animals) and they just ask for donations of whatever people can afford. When I was young they used to have a mobile clinic that parked up in the village. I don't actually know where they are based in my area now but they are still going and I have recently seen a tv programme about them.
There is a fantastic vet in Surrey called Fitzpatrick, and he performs all sorts of amazing ops. He has a tv prog as well called Supervet - I dread to think how much he charges! I have thought about seeing if he could maybe do something for Lola's missing foot, but he is a long way from me.

Good morning all from the CDR sick room where Nurse JoesMum has both husband and daughter complaining of stomach problems.

JoesDad is in a sweat this morning and says there's definitely something wrong with his stomach. Daughter hasn't stirred yet, but was in a similar state last night.

Son and I both seem OK so far... touch wood. Fingers crossed for swift recovery for both.

Just to complicate matters, a painter will be showing up in an hour to start painting the kitchen and conservatory :rolleyes:
Hope they are feeling better now and it's not a bug that you'll all get.

physio rekons why wee toe has broken and healed crooked, there is definitely muscle weekness in ankle, leg as well as scar tissue, hence the size.
Think you need a visit to the Supervet too John!
Hope they can sort you out soon.

Hi everyone, hope you are all having or have had a good day.
I've been up my ladders today trying to clear my guttering.
Problem is my long handled guttering cleaning tool is in my shed and I still haven't found the keys to that.
I have ordered some lock picking tools from "Burglars 'R' Us" so will have to go back and finish the job another day,
Maybe able to fit in a few more 'jobs' with my tools too ;)

Gosh I'm fed up of politics!
A general election in the UK now!
Our Prime Minister, Teresa May, is hoping for a mandate - so am I!!!;)
(I'm not fussy but only millionaires - at least - need apply!)

jackie chan is unwell... he has the 'kung flu' ;)
Good morning all.

Reports from the hospital wing are

JoesDad is better than yesterday but has swollen glands that are making swallowing painful; he spent yesterday in bed which is most unusual for him. He ate nothing until about 7.30pm.

Daughter had 2 slices of toast yesterday and turned in about 8.30pm. She hasn't emerged yet today.

I was feeling decidedly ropey yesterday evening - stomach not right, joints aching :( - and also turned in at 8.30pm. I don't hurt as much this morning and have had some weetabix. The jury is out.

Virus of some sort I think :(

Yup sounds like a strange bug. Hope you are all feeling better soon.
