Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

Quote from KMA :
Oh don't worry, I'm never using that wash again. I know better than to trust doctors, including vets, who tell me stuff is safe.Frown I was just at the end of my rope with his ears, that I was willing to try anything.

Several months ago my holistic vet told me to mix a solution of olive oil and garlic extract to use for cleaning his ears. While I was able to remove so much junk, the scratching never lessened; the licking himself bald started long before that (and long before I began using the wash). We tried homeopathic remedies for the licking, but that didn't help so I went to the regular vet and got the dreaded cortisone shot (it was my last resort). It worked for a month or so and he had complete relief. Then it started again. Changing foods really did help and after he's able to eat good food, I'm going to have him allergy tested. The good news is that his appetite is great.

What I didn't mention was that I started him on milk thistle on Sunday. He ate several times that day, but then the diarrhea got really bad. On Monday he stopped eating, so I took him to the regular vet for subcutaneous fluid injections. Within 5 minutes of being home he headed to the food bowl and ate several times that night. He hasn't had any milk thistle since Sunday night. He's playing and purring. Smilie Again, I hope my lessons learned help others and their babies.
I'm glad that that he's feeling better now. hug

Quote from 123veas :
Hope both the kitties get to feeling a lot better. Good Luck to them both.

Thank-you. I've been feeding her a little at a time ("real" meat) and she's starting to eat a little dry, almost 8 hrs stable now. It's frustrating because she has been well for a few weeks, then sick, then well, this time 2 weeks good, then sick Monday, well Tuesday, sick Wednesday pm, then again Thursday about noon -4pm, now eating little bits and sleeping.....Sorry TMI, it's just that I've been ill too and its so frustrating.

Probably won't get to contests tonight.
Good Luck to all!

I trust the vets more than doctors most of the time. Maybe that killed my poor kitty.

Anyway, I will not sleep tonight. Probably something stupid is coming. I am always home when ups comes but of course not today. A 7 lb. package from origin of Michigan which has to be signed for. Sender is EPI or EPS Marketing. Does anyone have a clue what sweeps that may have been? It is probably nothing to get excited over. But ups always leaves things w/out a signature. It is not the Costco Coke win because E-prize is handling that. Just have to wait to see.
I'm not sure if EPI and ePrize are the same company or not but EPI definitely does fulfillment for ePrize. Usually ships fom Battle Creek MI.

I was going to post that it was the Kashi win-quite a few people posted about it in the main contest thread.



Congrats!
Sweet contests like you!



Thank-you! I will try this with the banana peppers.
I HAD 6 cucumber plants growing from seed. I had put them on the back steps since the weather has been nice. Darn robin came up and pulled two of them out of the pot. I replanted the one that he left, but he came back and took a 2nd one. This is the robin that scolds me to leave after I water everything and replace the bird bath water. This is the 4th year that he has come back.



Congrats!



Congratulations! Nice win.

I haven't entered any contests yet today. I DID get a coupon for a free International Delights coffee creamer today and the OSU shirts that Mom and I picked out using some of the MCR wins. Moriah is ill again. 2nd day in a row and I'm not too good myself.


Good Luck to all!
I knew you would figure it out. The signature part - for cereal? Hoping Moriah gets better again real quick.

Maybe try some chicken boiled with a little rice and some egg yolk. Its all very blandish and easy to digest. If she likes vanila yogurt maybe put in just enough to bind it all together a little. Always works for my cats. Works good for dogs too but I add pumpkin for them since they shoudnt have as much protein. You you both get to feeling better

Thank-you for trying to help.
It's not that she won't eat, it's that a few hours later, it comes back up. Her liver and kidney's check out okay, it's not a problem on the other end too like it was in November, I just need to figure out what it is and eliminate the problem item from her diet, while keeping her hydrated and keeping something down. I think that she is finding something to eat in the house, but darn if I can figure out what.

Storms moving in................lots of booms.
