UPDATE! Called the vet first thing this morning, and it's gotten so bad that she insisted that I bring her in immediately. Since I've been at work, she called and informed me that it is, indeed, an allergic reaction, most likely to her thyroid meds. She gave her a skin scrape and found zero...

Hey folks, It's been a while since I was last on, but these past few months have been CRAZY with this ridiculous cat of mine, Garbanzo. I'll try to make the explanation brief. She was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and went onto carbimizole. Thyroid level evened out, she gained weight...

Yessss! I posted yesterday on finally being thankful for finding out some horribly surprising (to say the least) information about my ex boyfriend, and I never thought I would say it but attribute my attitude largely toward watching the Oprah show on The Secret. I haven't yet watched the actual...

That's amazing! Congratulations, and best wishes for a good pregnancy !

I agree. When I look at everything in my life, that's what I'm most thankful for. I won't say that the ex-b.f. thing isn't important to me, because it was several years of my life and heart imploding. But I WILL say I'm very grateful for my family's well-being, and being able to be strong for...

Wow, I'm sorry you went through this. I'm glad your daughter is OK. Family really is the most important thing.

A few days ago I posted about finding out that my ex-b.f. of two years, with whom I broke up not two months ago, has been seeing a "friend with benefits" for over a month, even though he's claimed to be heartbroken and pained. I've had on kid gloves trying to step carefully into a friendship...

And one more thing: I found that having some white noise really helped. I run an air purifier in my room. Plus I can easily ignore kitty meowing and pawing at my door!

Put away the bat! No baseball bats! Bad! I've had chronic insomnia for as long as I can remember. It would take me half an hour at least to fall asleep, and I was waking up at two to three times a night. I'd have to get a minimum of 10 hours of sleep to feel remotely active and not totally out...

First of all, your kitty is adorable! What an irresistible face, even with the little bump . From my experience, when Garbanzo gets spots on her nose it's because she's been rubbing too hard on the door to get in/out. But I agree with everyone else: take her to the vet and see what the...

I just found out that my ex-b.f. of two years, whom I broke up with not even two months ago, is "dating" someone else. Now first of all, I realize that I'm the one who broke up with him. It wasn't an easy decision. And second, I know it's his life and I can't control it. The thing that...

Garbanzo made it to the vet this morning! Everything seems fine today. She's alert and perky again, and to be on the safe side the doc gave her a couple of injections (one for hydration, one to keep the vomiting down). She's eating a little and kept it all down so far. Other than hating the...

UPDATE! Yayyyyy, I finally got Garbanzo to drink a few tablespoons of sugar water . It took a bit of trickery: I put a tiny bit of Flavor-Doh (which she can't get enough of) on the edge of the water bowl and she "inadvertently" sopped up some water with the Flavor-Doh. I think she realized how...

Thank you for the well wishes. I'm getting her to my regular clinic first thing (they open at 7:30 - that's three hours from now, no sleep for me tonight!). Until then I'm trying to keep her hydrated and comfortable. Thanks again for the good vibes, I need all I can get.

Thank you all for the replies... I'm getting her to the vet first thing in the morning (they open at 7:30AM) but for right now there's really nothing I can do, unfortunately. I'm in the house by myself, I don't have a car, and the emergency vet is a ways away. I'm doing my best to keep her...
