Ouch!

Gesundheit.

[Taka]

that too. i'll definitely start working towards it as soon as possible. just have to write a mail and hope i get hold of the right person this time.

Gesundheit does not exist in our household at the moment. First, my wife was sick. Then I got sick. Then we both woke up yesterday morning (ON OUR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY) to find that our dogter had, in desperation, pooped her diarrhea poo on my bedroom rug (good thing my nose was plugged up - I managed to clean it up and gagged only once!). Then she puked in her doggie bed.

We're all on the road to recovery now, though. Hoorah!

poor dogter...
i remember when my cat managed to get a stomach infection, that wasn't fun. luckily antibiotics worked and she got well again.

Oh no! It's always so worrying, isn't it? I hope your kitty hasn't eaten anything questionable since then!

Anya (our dogter) had that once, too. On the way to the vet, which takes about 30-45 minutes, she "pooped" (if you can call it that, as at some point, nothing more came out) at least 10 times and vomited 4+ times. She got a shot and some pills and had to fast for a short time, then everything was alright again. Long live antibiotics!

This time, I witnessed her eating some sort of feces (I'm guessing fox, due to the smell) but I couldn't get to her in time and of course she refused to come on command. By the time I got to her and pulled her out, she'd eaten almost all of it. I'm guessing that's what f*ed up her digestive system yesterday. She's managed to keep her food down today, though, so we believe she's already feeling better.

[Taka]

cats very rarely get problems with their stomach, so i was a little worried. she hasn't had problems with that part again, but earlier this year she managed to hurt her hip bad enough that she could hardly walk at all. and all i could do was watch over her and make sure she ate, because if she stopped eating, it would be serious enough that i'd have to relieve her of any further suffering. she got better eventually, and is now climbing in trees again. but her hip doesn't sit right, so i expect her to get problems later because of it.

[Gewaltraud]

Awww, how old is she? I wasn't aware that cats aren't as sensitive when it comes to stomach stuffs, but then again, they tend to be picky when it comes to food. :p But I've heard that hip problems usually come with age, be it a dog or a cat.

Anya will turn two on December first, so she's still a bendable young thang who can handle rough play and banging her head on the table.

[Taka]

Cats normally don't have problems with their stomach. Sara is only two years old, and her hip problem is definitely due to an injury. So i just hope it won't bother her too much as she grows older.

The old cat that we had before was 16 when she died. Never had stomach problems, but an old shoulder injury bothered her a little the last years.

[Gewaltraud]

Only two and had an injury bad enough to cause lifelong hip problems?! The poor dear. What happened, if I may ask?

[Taka]

i don't know what happened. either she was hit by a car, or fell down from a high place. i wasn't there to see what it was.

[ativan]

Just because it can be done.

[Jamie D]

Wow!  Van de Graaf generators?

[ativan]

Tesla coils. Read the stuff under the vid on Youtube.
The 'lightning' sparks are actually on and off at frequencies that make the music.
Somebody in Oklahoma built a really big one of these.
It would be fun to have acres of them.

[Gewaltraud]

These song parodies and videos are always so amusing.
