RE: Kitty crazy after neuter
It can take days to completely eliminate the med given. It's unusual to have lasting effects from the commonly used anesthetics. I'd give it a few more days before taking further action.
BTW, there are hormone levels that are reduced after a neuter, but I've never seen this type of behavior reported.

RE: A very old stray {The Old Fella Story}
Several times we attended the Chicago boat & RV show at McCormick Place. I eventually found my knees didn't like the repeated up and down looking at the RVs and we found the RV we love so it's been years since we attended. They have split the show and now do the boat show in Jan and the RV show in Rosemont in Feb.

RE: New Working LGDs
They look great. How much training goes into getting these two to adapt to your place and flock or is it just instinct?

RE: We're getting ready........for lambing
I'm so sorry, what a shock. While she was a working dog, she was still part of your family.

RE: A very old stray {The Old Fella Story}
Merry Christmas to all!!
We dodged most of the snow (only got about 6") but the wind and cold were profound. We did get above 0 yesterday and it's a veritable heat wave today at 8.
I feel for the people of north central IN, western Michigan, northern Ohio and western NY where the lake effect snow has dumped feet of snow along with the cold.
The only positive is that the dogs know to do their business quickly or else their feet start to hurt.

RE: Homeless Cat -- Now Spotacus' Legacy
If you run into too many problems giving the antibiotic, ask your vet about COVENIA. It's an antibiotic injection that lasts 2 weeks. Wonderful option for hard to medicate cats.

RE: A very old stray {The Old Fella Story}
Twice we've been stuck for prolonged periods due to accidents. It was great being in the motorhome because we could get up and stretch, use the bathroom and make lunch. It's a different story when you have a schedule and are trying to get somewhere though.
Hope you feel better.

RE: Nell’s Annual Geriatric Exam
Really amazing considering the Addison's. Our Golden that had Addison's lived to a little over 10 and died from an overwhelming septicemia. They are really susceptible to infections... Good work, Mark.

RE: Kitty with motion sickness
There are medications that can help. My favorite is Cerenia and is available by prescription, talk to your vet. There are some OTC remedies that help less frequently, but still can work. Pheromone or olfactory therapy can also help (lavender, Feliway).

RE: A very old stray {The Old Fella Story}
So sorry Burch. Acute issues like this are often related to the heart. One of the more common tumors in dogs is hemangiosarcoma. They can easily go undiagnosed and one major place they metastasize is to the right atrium in the heart. If that tumor ruptures, they can go into heart failure or acute death with a big bleed. This actually happened to one of our goldens and I never had a clue that she had the tumors until she died. This would be the first place I'd look.
Again, so sorry for your loss.
Doug

USDA Announcement
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1, 2022 -- The United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is making $30 million in American Rescue Plan Act funding available to address SARS-CoV-2 in animals and advance the Nation’s ability to protect the health of humans and animals. This funding opportunity is part of APHIS’ multipronged approach under its American Rescue Plan Strategic Framework, to build an early warning system to potentially prevent or limit the next zoonotic disease outbreak or global pandemic.
There was a fantastic segment on 60 minutes yesterday about surveillance that is being done in Africa. The program is combined program with UC Davis and doctors from Africa. They are collecting samples from bats, primates and people looking for the next potential viral pathogen.
Searching for the next pandemic

RE: Homeless Cat -- Now Spotacus' Legacy
After your post I looked up and my next license renewal REQUIRES and in person renewal due to age. I guess that's better than an auto shut down date.
I hope they find a method to eliminate the nausea/vomiting with the radiation treatments. We'll be thinking about you both.
