Someone else on the list may be able to provide the name but there is a wash
you can use, even on rashes that are days old, that works wonders with poison
ivy/oak etc.
If you have men who will
exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of compassion
and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with their
fellow man.

Subject: Re: winter day, home with the cats
I am very tuned into weather. I work in a retail nursery and my job is mostly
outside. Of course when the weather is real bad we try to find something to do
inside. Spring is right around the corner and I can't wait. I got poison ivy
the other day because I was planting some helleborus beneath and old tree. Well
you can't see the poison ivy at this time of year, but you sure can get it. My
stupidity of course.

Oh Sally you paint such a melancholy winter scene. I just wanted to let
you know I understand and appreciate those winter blues. I also know what it's
like to miss that window of opportunity with getting someone spayed. I'm sure
Daisy's pitiful howlings are not doing anything to make the scene more upbeat.
Hang in there girl, you're doing a fabulous job holding things together and
caring for your babies. Just remember, the only true constant in life is
change. Just hold on, nothing remains the same for very long. Before you know
it the scenery will change and the sun will be shining through.
Hugs to you and yours,
Nina

Today has been a miserable day here in VA. Freezing rain and sleet
brought me home early from work. This gave me time to spend with Junior and my
other cats. Junior seems to feel better. His ears are almost normal looking. I
am not sure what cause the hematomas because he did not shake his head or paw
at them. Of course he is still egtting medicine for his eyes. He vision is very
limited in his good eye. It is still dilated from the infection. He is eating
better although I am enticing him with anything he will eat. He gets Lysine in
baby food.
My thoughts about Tiny. Tiny always has a cough throughout his short
life. Not a bad cough and not even every day. Just sometimes he would cough
after purring. When he was a kitten he did have a URI and his sinuses smelled
terrible. He thew this off on his own. I had suspected he had heartworms even
though not real common in cats I live on a lake in mosquito infested woods. I
asked the vet he saw last summer if this was a possibility and though she did
not test for it gave him revolution. At that time he had a bad URI which the
cough was very severe, just like the one he had the day he died, but instead of
dying he just coughed spastically. It knocked him off his feet. It would
explain his sudden death. He did test a faint positive on the snap test but
never really had symptoms nor did he catch Junior's last URI.
Right now Daisy is crying out pitifully. In the mist of my Feline
Luekemia crisis last fall, I had to put off her spaying. I advised the shelter
I got her from of what was going on so they did not bug me for the papers. ITwo
weeks ago I called a low cost clinic to schedule her spaying and they called
back. Ususally you get an appointment in a week or two, this time it was over a
month. So Now I have to wait until Feb. 27 to get her fixed in the meantime,
she is coming in heat. What a royal pain. I have always gotten my females
fixed before their first heat.
OK the waether is making me think too much.
Thanks everyone for your support. This is the best group.
