It's always something

[cjsmith]

I'm done with the bio test! I should be working on that chem lab report, right? And Spanish homework for class this afternoon, too, of course. There's only an hour and a half before class, and I should also get lunch.

Well, except Little Girl needs to go the vet. Again. For inappropriate urination. Again. So she's locked in the bathroom until we can figure out what's wrong and fix it. Again. Kidney trouble in a cat is a slow descent into hell.

I'm worried about her this time. The symptoms aren't the same as the usual UTI. She's... just sort of gradually leaking. I hate to say it, but I'm hoping for a UTI! That would mean there's something to be done. If there's not, I have no idea what to do. I don't want to live like that. It's nasty enough inside this house without an incontinent cat. But I love Little Girl. She's easily my favorite of the three; she's the most affectionate by far and she's sweet as can be.

yer welcome!

Not sure how much I can slip into her food; she's not pleased by her kidney-specific diet, so she's forever trying to avoid that Oh, I soooo understand. I always hesitate with fussy eaters.... when things are already fragile one cannot be throwing other tastes in without consideration.

I'm on the fence about intuitive resources. I've had two of them be very wrong about me, so far, and zero helpful -- but then, that's just as good a score as Western medicine has. It's not like I've made up my mind that they're not useful.
Wild applause here! I'm forever trying (usually in vain, it seems) to get people to see that the standards they are applying to some things are not applied equally to all. In other words, they are marginalizing many things as part of their approach (while, of course, saying that this is objective and/or "merely scientific" etc). So, hearty agreement on all that. Western Medicine has a DISMAL record on a lot of things. I'm mostly in favor of considering all options -- and this doesn't just apply to body care, but to pretty-much-everything in life. (One of my top criticisms of allopathic medicine is an institutionalized prejudice that it "knows all there is to know" -- thus the belief that conditions that it has no cure for are "incurable", and so on. It knows it has a dismal record, but closes off any other option of anything-outside-itself.) Especially hearty applause for being able to see that BOTH have similarly poor record in your case. (Somehow the usual is to say "well, x-controversial-remedy didn't work for me" withOUT considering whether the conventional remedies did. I tend to be willing to TRY a lot of stuff (even if it doesn't work) as long as it is not too expensive or uncomfortable.....

I have someone in mind to recommend for intuitive consultation about medical issues for LG -- however she hasn't answered an email and voicemail I've left her recently (about something else) so I'm unclear at the moment if she is away or something. I'll get back to you about this.
