Snakes!

The vet told me this morning that the rattlesnakes are out. He already had a cat come in with a bite to its head. Shades of Bob-B.

Then my sister told me that Mom said there was a snake on her driveway. Being Mom, an 89-year-old woman, she poked it with her walking stick to ascertain it wasn't a rattler, then flung it into the bushes. My sister and I agree we must not be related to her. If we saw a snake in the driveway, we'd head for the house, lock the door and call 911. We don't like snakes!

The cat is back wearing a hat

I picked up 50-50 this morning. She was eating and drinking and that's good. The vet said no antibiotics for three days because her system is upset. Fine with me.

Back to the vet

Yesterday morning I took 50-50 back to the vet to have him check her eye. She's having a lot of trouble handling the medications I'm having to give her. The antibiotic is causing her to vomit and the eye drops may be irritating the eye instead of healing it. I don't know, but something isn't right, so I took her back and she spent the night there so they could get her stabilized.

This morning I'm taking Flash in for his booster shot; I'll pick up 50-50 then and bring her home.
