What a crock of horse ****, Sherry. Lyn lives in the ****ing muck.
Were you here for the "half-rotted dildo" post she made?


LOL! Yeah, I forgot about that one - and the reason she gave for callling
me that? Because I'm a member of Mensa. ROTFL!

But even that wasn't as bad as Megan suggesting you take a warm bath with a
sharp razor blade shudder!

This from the stupid bitch who accused me of posting "filth?"


Just like I said - it's a case of "Do as I say not as I do!" If you try to
rear a child like that, guess what - they're going to do as you do!!

Did you read the post where she accused CN of burning Bandit?


Ohmygawd, I'd forgotten about that one too - that particular one made me
physically sick to my stomach. She does tend to try to "hit below the
belt", but it's funny how it's somehow always you or I who are being nasty
and inciteful.

Have you read ANY
of the posts she has written to me? Short on wit, long on bull**** and
attempted intimidation. Launching a campaign to try to have my ISP
yanked by lying. This is someone you like? The only reason CN got
your good bud Blind Girl Lynnie's thug treatment is because she had
the balls to stick up for me.


This is true, but to be fair people did try to warn me about my "new best
friend" and our developing "alliance" before they started outright attacking
me for it! ROTFLMAO!!!!

Hugs,

CatNipped

otherwise. You are by far the most mean-spirited, cruel and
hypocritical poster I have ever run across in all the years I've been
posting.


I am just so aghast! Sherry, are you even reading this group??! Is this
some sort of sick joke on your part? Please, *SHOW* me these mean-spirited,
cruel and hypocritical posts I've supposedly made! I really think you're
losing it, you know? You used to post quite sanely, but all of a sudden
you're going off some ridiculous vendetta against me, it's quite puzzling.
I've never even posted tersely to you until you started blasting me.

So go on about your business. Bait Lyn, Cheryl or Megan a little more.
Reply to a post that's completely unrelated, in a thread that they
haven't even posted in, and start throwing mud and making snipes.
That's what makes you happy.


Again, please show everyone where I've done this. Or are you confusing me
with someone else again - like I said, I don't think you're even reading the
same group (not that I post like that *anywhere*!).

Sherry

Wow, after googling a bit on "Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria

Transmitted from
Animals to Humans", I found a lot more information on this subject.
Interesting reading...

"A drug-resistant Salmonella Typhimurium subtype, associated with

severe
human illness, has emerged in the United States... A new emerging

subtype,
known as S. Typhimurium Definitive Type 104 (DT 104), characterized

by
multiple antimicrobial resistance, has been present in the United

Kingdom
since 1984... Studies in the United Kingdom showed that S.

Typhimurium is
present in animals (farm, wild, and pets), and that it can be

transmitted
from farm animals and pets to humans. Those studies also showed that

eating
beef, pork, or poultry products have been associated with outbreaks

of
disease in people... S. Typhimurium DT 104 has been detected recently

in the
United States, and its incidence and distribution are being actively

studied
to assess and address the threat to public health."

http://whyfiles.org/038badbugs/scope.html

(This next was is mostly about antibiotics used in food animal
production)...

http://www.net-consumers.org/food/antibio.htm

This one deals with veterinary use of antimicrobials...

"Antimicrobial substances are widely used in human and veterinary

medicine
for the treatment and prevention of microbial infections and are also

used
for feed efficiency and to promote growth in animals in the agri-food
industry.

The probability of an organism developing resistance increases with

the
length of time it is exposed to an antimicrobial agent. Bacterial

strains
are able to develop resistance to antimicrobial agents. Resistant

bacterial
strains survive and reproduce, transferring resistance to future

generations
and possibly to other microorganisms.

For example, a common bacterium, Salmonella, is often transmitted

from
animals to humans through the food chain. The emergence and

dissemination of
resistant Salmonella is of particular concern. *DIRECT LINKS HAVE

BEEN MADE
IN SOME INSTANCES BETWEEN VETERINARY ANTIMICROBIAL USE AND THE

DEVELOPMENT
OF RESISTANCE IN HUMANS.*" (Emphasis mine).

http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/vetdrugs-medsvet/amr_fyi_e.html

There's *TONS* more out there, but you get the idea. I don't see why

*VERY*
judicial use of antibiotics by *EVERYONE* being a good thing is such

a hard
concept to grasp!


Sigh. Read Lyn's post again, and the follow-ups. Judicial use is
exactly what she is talking about. You're trying (very hard) to leave
the impression that she's suggestion a round of antibiotic every time a
cat goes to the vet. That is not true.
But, I'll concede and let you win, because I know you'll never shut up
otherwise. You are by far the most mean-spirited, cruel and
hypocritical poster I have ever run across in all the years I've been
posting.
So go on about your business. Bait Lyn, Cheryl or Megan a little more.

Sherry, Catnipped does not do any of these things. What is wrong
with you?

But that is exactly what my vet did with my kitten many years ago, and
she might have died had he not prescribed an antibiotic.

There was no evidence at the time to suggest the use of antibiotics,
but he prescribed them anyway. And we found out the next day that the
antibiotics were exactly what she needed. She was already very sick at
the time. It was a full day between the antibiotics and my discovery of
the actual cause of her illness. She could have been dead by then had
we not treated her.

It is my understanding that this issue is like the proverbial
double-edged sword. The good side, you have seen, and state above. The bad
side is, the more they are used the more bacteria mutate to thwart them. It
is that simple. It follows that when possible, in humans and all creatures,
an
effort needs to be made to find out if the problem is indeed bacterial
instead of just throwing antibiotics at it.

Think of how you would feel if your kitty (or you) came down with some weird
bacterial thing that antibiotics would NOT work on. And it is happening
every day. The result is not pretty and sometimes deadly.

I understand. I just know that there are sometimes when we don't know
for sure, and the antibiotics may help. In Kira's case, it most likely
saved her life. We just couldn't see the wounds through her fluffy fur
to know what the problem was.

In Maynard's case, I have no idea whether the antibiotics will help,
but it is worth a try.

You bet. Give him a kiss for me.
