my cat that i birthed and raised myself for the last 17 years is having some medical issues. she'll be okay, but it's left me very tender hearted and tired. she's been at the vet since early this morning and i haven't been able to focus on anything else. i just want them to call so i can bring her home 😭

today i had a 20 minute panic abt my cat possibly choking on something or eating chocolate (our dog got into chocolate - he's also fine btw) and when i googled and sb said "check their mouths to see if something is stuck like a whisker" i did just that and found that what i thought were nausea symptoms were actually her trying to dislodge a piece of nail she got stuck between her front teeth
#pet health cw#not rly but. you know.#aisling the cat#tbf i would also be doing the same if i had something sharp stuck in my teeth and i had no fingers...#also now that biscuit is past the point where he'd be exhibiting symptoms................... im so cross with him for eating the chocolate#it was galaxy chocolate cry... i can't get it here my mam sent it from her england trip

[Addie had another unexpected glucose drop that shouldn't have happened. The insulin was even out of her system. I'm scared I'm going to have to make some hard choices soon, and they're so scary because she does still have quality of life.]

been a stressful few days! i admit it.
saturday my senior cat suddenly declined and HARD, by the time we reached the emergency vet at midnight she had three paws out the door. a family member insisted on treating her however they can, while i was accepting the 'inevitable' that we'd be leaving the building heartbroken. i thought there was no way such an old cat could bounce back, but...
it's tuesday now, yesterday she became stable enough to return home. she still didn't look great, but with a couple blood transfusions she was regenerating her own blood cells again. my poor baby was deathly pale. we're on "shifts" for now where said family member watches her at night, me during the day.
her appetite's been coming back, which is a major relief. not even 24 hours ago she was refusing squeezy treats- her favorite- today i'm offering her dry food and water and she's gobbling both up with a purr. giving her medicine is a time but we're getting there, on our first attempt we thought she took it before she waited a full minute to spit it back out from inside her cheek. gotta do that 2 times a day, fun /s
we're not in the clear, but i'm glad to see her old self return bit by bit. remember to cherish the time you have with your pets, because things can turn tragic and fast.
(they had to shave her legs, now she looks like she has on big boots... sorry baby)

[[ pet health stuff under the cut i just need to get it out somewhere in case i disappear for a couple of days ]]
I have a 17 year old cat, Tiffany. We've had her since she was about 2, and she's lived a good, long life. The last few days she's declined in a hurry. Missing the litter box, not eating, not drinking. Now she can't get around well on her back legs. I have a vet appointment on Monday, but I don't know if she's going to make it. She's... listless. I have her set up in a kitty playpen I bought for a kitten I was going to foster that didn't pan out, with some papers down for her to pee on and some fresh food and water....
I'm kind of breaking down. So I might be quiet, or selective. Or manic. I really don't know. I haven't had to deal with this before.

I got more bad news on my dog. Shes lost most feeling in both of her back legs. She can't stand or walk on her own and that brings many more complications. She doesn't seem to be in pain and she is not her usual grumpy self. Our current plan is to just keep her resting. If she doesn't get better, we will either have to do surgery on her back, or get her a little doggy wheelchair. My family will most likely put her on wheels if it comes to it.
These dogs are my lifeline, and it hurts me so much to see them go through trouble. My dog is a stubborn fighter, and her sister has been through troubles too, so we believe she can take on and overcome her situation, whatever it comes to.
Thanks for reading.

Got to love emergency vet visits on holidays.
He's okay. We think. He has spondylosis, we found out on the xray. We think he slept too long in a new spot and completely seized up. But he couldn't stand/put weight on his one leg and was yowling.
Got some pain meds, going to hopefully get him on a monthly shot, and pulled out the heating pad for him.
Hopefully it all helps.

please help my baby get his ear surgery done<3
thank you for clicking read more :)
so after months of testing the vet informed us a few days ago that our cat does, in fact, have skin cancer. to get more specific it's actually squamous-cell carcinoma.
(text is in spanish but im sure google lens can translate pretty well.)
it's affecting the tip/side of his left ear and hasn't spread to his nose or the other ear, so the vet recommended surgery to get the ear removed as soon as we possibly can. this would be on september 2nd, this monday.
exams like x-rays and biopsies have already been pretty expensive so i'm making this post to hopefully offset the cost of his pinnectomy (ARS$180,000->USD$189) even just a little bit. the whole thing has been really stressing and adding to that a messed up family situation where i can't ask them for help, please trust me when i say i wouldn't do this if i didn't need to.
details for the fic commissions:
my ao3 account for reference
right now im working on stuff for supernatural and formula 1 so that's where my brain's at, mostly, but ive done a lot of writing for jojo's bizarre adventure (im Very fluent with jotaro and all part 3-4 characters) and for the argies in the room, i've even written stuff for los simuladores and el marginal. i have no issues writing in spanish (rioplatense).
im also comfortable writing for genshin impact. been playing for years and im familiar with the lore up until fontaine. i've been itching to write something for a while :)
im Very Very familiar with x reader fics and will do OC x Character or OC x OC gladly as long as you provide character art or detailed descriptions to help me capture them best.
im comfortable writing pretty much every ship for the fandoms i named and can do gen, teen, mature and explicit works. im open to all kinks and have a history of doing incest and age-gap pairings. im comfortable with most dark themes— will write dub-con, non-con, cnc, and want to hear your weirdly specific skinks. in general, it's easier to say what i will not do than what i will. no judgement, as long as you respect
what i will not do:
horror
gore
necrophilia
violent non-con or explicit non-con (mentioning it in the story is fine, but i will not write the actual scene)
scat
vore
race play (hateful imagery/racial slurs)
kidfic
for formula 1 im simply inept at doing maxiel and c2. in general, i struggle with max and carlos. won't write anything for lando, sorry. anything else from 2010 to 2024 is fine, and im open to AUs of any kind as well as gender bending :)
pricing
Tier 3 — USD$5 for 500 words. 5 slots open
Tier 2 — USD$10 for 1k to 3k words. 2 slots open
Tier 1 — USD$25 for 4k to 10k words. 2 slots open
if i exceed wordcount in any case, it's on me. i'm a yapper.
contact me here or ask for my gmail in tumblr dms ^^
i can only accept ppal for USD$. if you're in argentina and you're interested, dm me for mercadopago info :)
(if you just want to donate that's totally cool. i just felt weird asking for money without anything to offer. it's a me thing)
ppal link
if you read this whole thing, thank you. here is the boy himself. he's almost 11 years old, incredibly grumpy, manipulative, called ugly by almost all my friends, has already gone through eye surgery so that's why his eyes look Like That, and on the rare occasion he sits on my lap i literally cry.
please put sunscreen on your cats, especially if they have white hair like aki. we didn't know for the longest time that exposure to the sun could cause skin cancer on cats and by the time we knew and started doing it, it was too late.

Odin is doing well after his surgery! (Nothing serious, we just got him neutered) He has to wear this onesie so he doesn't pick at his stitches and it looks so cute on him! I want to buy a matching one for his brother, Loki (he's also a poodle but he's grey)

// Got less than great results from Paint's vet, her blood work has some markers out of whack, and she's got Kidney disease - which is ironic considering I only have one kidney. She also is anemic, like I am, and we're on the same pain medication. (Gabapentin buddies!)
I'm just.....I know I'm trying to be silly and look at this with humor because that's how I cope with everything, but I just am scared I'm going to wait too long or be too early. I want to be fair to her. I want her to have her peace, and dignity, and have good days and soak up as much love as she can because she deserves that!! She's 16, and she's seen me through so much - and my husband too.
I'm just not ready.

⚠️‼️VENTING CW:SA mention, animal death, depression
I’ve turned away from most of social media for health reasons so this is my last space to really vent about something I’ve been going through.
My pibble, my best friend and greatest puppy in the whole world, my favorite family member of ten years—is passing away. Tomorrow we’re gonna take her to the vet and see what they say, but realistically with her age, she’s gonna be put to sleep. I’m so heart broken and devastated. I’ve been through so much (s3xual abuse, trauma, heart break, unstable home situations, scary family members) and my dog is the thing that’s been keeping me “anchored” for many years. Of course I have supportive friends and loving family members as well but you know pets have a special place in our hearts that no one else can really occupy. I’m an animal lover at heart and my bestie is especially important to me. Idk how I’m gonna deal, I really don’t know. She’s been my family member and best friend for so long. Everything is gonna be so bleak without her. I’m shaking and crying as I write this.

My cats sick and I don't know what to do. Mateo was the first cat we ever got when I was in 5th grade and now he's sick and we can't afford to do blood work and stuff
My brother took him to the vet and it costed him 150$ for them to tell him that blood work would cost 800$ or he could put him down for more money as well. He only had like 300$ to take him to the vet in the first place. He's having trouble breathing, he hasn't been eating like he should and my brother even tried taking him into another room and giving him wet food but he still didn't eat a lot. So now he's at home wrapped up in a blanket so that when he dies, because we can't do anything to help him, he's at home. I don't know what to do

Completely knackered out due to all events today.
Our old man budgie, Ragnar, (10 years old) had to be admitted to emergency vet care this evening.
After a check up this afternoon at his usual avian vet where she (the avian vet):
- did a physical examination (everything was alright, Ragnar had morbid obesitas and was on a strict diet for 1,5-2 months, and he had lost enough weight to be considered healthy again),
- tried to clean out his nostril (his nostril was hidden once again, but it started bleeding, so she stopped directly with trying to open it up),
- examined his excrements (he has a bacterial infection in his body that doesn't react to antibiotics anymore so he's on a 'maintenance dosage' of F10 in his drinking water to keep the bacterial infection at bay) but except for the known bacterial infection nothing eventful is going on.
Everything looked alright so far.
Due to the bacterial infection and his personality, he's really afraid of hands, startled easily and then starts breathing very heavily, almost hyperventilating-like, he was breathing heavily after putting him back in his 'travel bag/cage'.
Everything seemed to be alright.
On our journey back home Ragnar started walking backwards, turning around in circles, screaming, flap hard with his wings, in his travel bag.
I tried contacting our avian vet multiple times but couldn't reach her. The only thing we could do was continuing traveling back home in the hope when we'd arrive home he'd be a bit better.
Back at home when I tried to put him back on his perch, he immediately fell down and continued the twisting and spinning in circles. Due to lack of better words the only way I can describe it is like he looked like he was having spasms/maybe a seizure but he didn't came out of it.
We tried contacting our avian vet a few more times to no avail and decided to contact the emergency vet. Who said to drop by directly so we did. The whole journey we were afraid Ragnar wasn't going to make it, but he did.
While Ragnar was in the care of the emergency vet we decided to wait for an hour to see if the treatments would help. They put him in an oxygen cage, gave him glucose and an anti-seizure medication which didn't helped a lot, we found out after an hour. But he still was reacting to his environment, to hands (anger!) and to us. He's still there mentally. All the time while still spasming/seizuring.
We made the decision to not give up on Ragnar because the emergency vet isn't an avian vet (we thought they were) and tomorrow morning (a few hours from now) an avian vet will examine him.
The emergency vet has been in contact with the avian vet and Ragnar's symptoms are the same as the symptoms of a heavy metal poisoning. So we decided to start treatment for heavy metal poisoning, as they said if it isn't that - it won't harm him.
Tomorrow morning we will hear more from the avian vet and we will be in contact with our own avian vet. Leaving Ragnar there is heartbreaking but we really hope he will pull through.
Normally I don't post about my pets here but I hope someone might read this and maybe know what to do in this situation.
I hope it's okay to tag a few bird blogs people here in the hope someone has an idea what we can do for Ragnar. I really don't want to give up on him.
