I was in the middle of.a site change, filling the tubing with insulin, when my wife said, “Help Biddy she got her claw caught in the food dish!” I put the pump and applicator near my wife to help the cat. It started slipping. My wife did not know about the bare inserter needle which stuck her in the hand. That’s number one.
Just now I opened my D drawer to move a box of sets in front. I was tearing the box lid off when Sheelah the terror decided she needed to explore the drawer. She wasn’t happy with me dragging her out.
It’s funny, she’s just a sweetheart until it comes to trimming her claws. They are very curved. The dish is stainless steel that is ant resistant. Her claw was caught in the rolled edge. It took 2 hands to free he, one for her and one for the bowl.
Miss Sophie was just diagnosed with Stage 3 kidney disease! Her blood panel last year was completely normal and this year her BUN and creatinine are quite high. She is only 14-15 (adopted as a stray). I do not think she will tolerate sub-cutaneous fluids very well.
So hard to see our fur babies ill. I’m relieved to hear your baby can remain with us with you love and good care. Hugs to you and your precious fur baby.
