Scooter tackling Bandit.

 

Noki and Bandit waiting for me to set the catnip down.

Scooter had the last of his teeth (besides the canines) pulled today. Poor little guy has stomatitis which means he's allergic to his own tooth enamel. The vet said it was the worst case he's ever seen but the gums around the teeth that were pulled last time are looking much better, so hopefully this will be the end of his problems.

Notice he's sticking his tongue out at them. Lol

If you go to the inbox tab, and then select messages, then select the message you received, when it opens are you not able to click the name at the top of the message to view profile? That's how it works for me. I can't just click the name at any point until I've got that message open with their name at the top.

The vet said it's unusual to see it so young, and then also said he had never seen a case so bad, even in adults. His gums looked like hamburger meat and it broke my heart. He had given no indication that it was painful to eat the dry food. We've had to get steroid shots every month since we started and the vet said THAT can lead to diabetes, so we need to get the teeth out and hope that's the last of it. Surgery is on the 7th, so hopefully that'll be the end of it. I hope your girl fares much better!

Oh he always does. He gets wet food because he's got bad teeth (something called stomatitis) where he's allergic to his own tooth enamel. We are half way through having his teeth removed. Vet couldn't do them all in one session because some are still very well seated and he'd have to be under sedation too long. It sucks big time but he's a really good boy and has been a trooper through all the vet visits. Here is a pic from when I was ignoring him a few minutes before.

I stopped using Reddit when Apollo stopped working. I joined Lemmy.world on July 4th and moved to my current instance about a month after due to .world being down a lot. I'm happy to be here and watch Lemmy grow and improve.

That one is Scooter. Bandit is the black cat.

The video says they tested the substance and it was a mix of methadone and hydrocodone. I was an opiate addict for over a decade and I didn't realize those had much of a smell. They also said it was making them all sick and they were coughing. I feel like he might have been using different chemicals each time. This is just a bizarre story all around.
