... 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 |

ups.com... 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 |

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. 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. 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. |

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. |
