my cat was bitten by a snake
I've just got back from the vet. My cat was bitten by a snake this
afternoon. He's had anti-venom and is now on a drip for the next couple of days, he might have to have more anti-venom if he doesn't respond in a couple of hours. He's 11 years old, I'm worried that his age is against him. There is also danger from the anti-venom, it can cause kidney failure and can affect the coagulation of the blood. I can't bear to lose my Theodore. |

My comment is based upon my observation that there is probably no Theodore at all. |

I guess you did your best to protect him, save keeping him inside altogether. I hope he recovers. Please let us know. |

You are not getting cynical Cyber you are just so used to the POS that come
here. I am Happy to see that you still can apologize when you find out everything so you know there is still hope that the newsgroups have not gotten to you to bad yet ;-) I was thinking the same thing that you said. Specially being from Florida and knowing we have at least 13 predators which include 3 Deadly snakes here. So even though I did not say anything I offer my apologies to her also along with purrs and prayers "cybercat" wrote in message ... "Juliet L" wrote in message ... I've just got back from the vet.

Apologies to Juliet, was my cat was bitten by a snake
Matthew, with respect, and cyber-whatever-suffix-today deserve each
other. She shoots from the hip, typically inaccurately, piles it on, then apologizes only when cornered. I wonder if she treats her cats the same way, and if as a result they are as neurotic, small-minded and generally nasty as she is - given that many times animals come to resemble their owners and reflect their behavior patterns (rather than the other way around), this is very likely the case. And there you are, jumping in to endorse the behavior. I feel sorry for the both of you, the 'pets' that exist only as adjuncts to your egos and, accordingly, are your victims - and the tiny, restricted little lives they must lead based on your behavior and postings here. You may know every little bit of what there is to know about the physical health, anatomy and medical aspects of your cats - but cyber, and you to a lesser degree, I will grant - are grossly ignorant of their natures.

Apologies to Juliet, was my cat was bitten by a snake
snipped Excuse me! You really need to grow up and get some serious mental help. What Phil put you in your place now you feel froggy. You really truly need some serious help. You have no idea what I have done for four legs in the past, present or what I will do in the future or even what I do everyday for my own cats or others that I know. I am not going to even argue with you for I did have some respect; due to you having some cat knowledge, for you till this post. Maybe one day you will actual learn what is involved in dealing with the newsgroups instead of sitting behind a computer screen and popping out information from the internet. You will learn that 99% of the people that come here don't care. They want a cheap way to fix something or are lying ( trolls) about the situation. And the ones that truly need help are helped |
