[Felvtalk] Re OT- Tiffany, blind DUMPED cat

2009-06-23 Thread Lorrie
Kelly,  I'm alsp very concerned about this cat. She should have
gotten her meds right away, and I also believe a vet who has been
practicing for that long may not be up on current treatments.  All
physicians and vets have to continue to read, and learn about new
treatments for as long as they are in practice.  Some do and others
don't. They just stick with whatever they learned in vet school or
med school.

Kelly, have you heard anything from your vet in regards to getting this poor 
girl on meds yet. I can't believe any vet would keep her waiting while he 
"calculates" for this long. I am at a loss for words. Each day that goes by 
there could be more damage occurring. Please keep us posted.

Sorry, did not mean to be so short there.  The prescription is for 0.685
Amlodipine daily.  We got it in flavored chews.  Hoping she likes them since
she will be on them for life, if not next month we can get liquid or pill

I want to vent, too! I've had a bad, bad day!
I work at a county shelter and we have just about had it with people. A woman 
called today and told me that she was getting ready to call Channel 2 news 
about us, because we were so very rude. Why was she ticked off? Because she 
surrendered her dog 2 weeks ago - she and her husband "couldn't tolerate" the 
dog's destructive behavior - and we were not "doing enough" to get her dog 
adopted. U..you weren't willing to spend any time and effort whatsoever 
on your dog, so why would anyone else? They decided to just reclaim the dog 
today, since they didn't want her to be euthanized. My colleague who handled 
the reclaim very nicely questioned the husband about his plans for the dog. 
Would they work with her, train her, try to find her another home? After all, 
we didn't want the dog to be reclaimed only to be dumped on us again. Not 
exactly fair to the dog, is it? The husband said he was ready to start cursing 
out my coworker, and apparently a nasty
 email is in the works. And someone else dumped his dog because she had a hot 
spot, and he didn't want to pay a vet, and when we told him that we had a 
low-cost vet we could refer him to, the excuse was, "She's too wild around the 
kids." We try to help them, and they counter with another BS excuse. I'm sick 
of it!
And you guys will love this one. Last week a woman surrendered 5 kittens. It 
seems that THREE of her cats had litters of 7 at the same time, and she needs 
to round up all the kittens and bring them to us, because, of course, they all 
roam around outside! She then proceeded to blame the neighborhood tomcats for 
knocking up her females, when naturally it's her irresponsibility that got her 
into this mess. They are planning to bring us nearly 30 cats in all. We had to 
euthanize FIFTY cats and kittens last week, and just as many this week, and 
STILL people refuse to spay/neuter or keep their animals confined when they're 
in heat.
This has to stop. It just has to stop.

Ok, well, here we go with my day.
My mother woke me up at 7:15 am calling me after I went to bed at 3 am.  I
had a friend move out of town and bring over her nice desk and filing
cabinets last night, also some cat litter she didn't need.  I asked my
boyfriend to put the cat litter in the house, and he let Tabitha out.  Now,
Tabitha likes to try to get out and normally I follow her and sit down and
let her come to me, but he insisted on trying to grab her and scared her.
 We walked the neighborhood with a flashlight and looked for her til 3 am,
and still had to move the furniture in.  Then, my mother called me at 7:15
am.  I had to get up and clean out the Rescutiesmobile of all the assorted
cat rescue paraphanalia since it has an electrical problem.  It also will
not start and had to be towed.  So I had to haul out a 6 foot table, canopy
tent, donation jars, traps, carriers, litter, litter boxes, food, and all
the other assorted stuff that rescuers carry.  Finally it was ready to go to
the electric shop (they told me it had to be totally emptied).  I called the
towing service and they were 2 hours late.  Called the shop and said it was
on its way, they said it would be better to bring it tomorrow..um, no.  Then
needed to go to administer fluids to a friends' cat.  Determined cat was too
ill, we went to vet clinic.  One person has emailed me today about taking in
3 kittens, and another an adult cat.  We have no available fosters and
precious little money.  We found a kitten feeding while feeding ferals (the
colony is completely TNRed and this was a tame kitten, so he didn't come
from there).  Talked to one of the other feeders and they saw a black and
white kitten and fed it, but LEFT IT THERE, and apparently the MOWERS came
this weekend, and it hasn't been seen since.  Friend took the kitten short
term and we are seeking foster.   My feet hurt so bad I can't walk and
Tabitha's not home yet.

Well, that was several days, but still, bad.
