Today is Wednesday the seventh of July in 2010 A.D., the day of the
grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the
fellowship of the Holy Spirit; the day of the salvation, redemption,
providence, and blessing of the almighty Lord God Most High. If not
today then what other day is there?
Using my laptop. I found it in the trash 2 weeks ago and tried to fix
it up. It's a few years old and CPU usage @ 100%. Obviously I haven't
gotten all the bugs out. Typing this is slow.
Running "top" in a root shell shows that firefox is taking 1.4% of CPU
usage, xine is taking 96.7% of CPU, and various systme processes are
taking the rest. Xine looks like the culprit.
Update starting from Tuesday morning PPlanned to take Eloise Cat to
the vet agin. Couldn't find the cat. We looked around the house for 10
minutes and f before we found her. She had burrowed into the
insulation behind some boxes in the attic. Thios attic is accesib le
only by a ladder you pull down with a rope. She is not her usual
chipper self. She is not interacting with us and won't eat or drink.
Her nose was flushed pinkish and ears are warm. Her wounds are still
bleeding.
I loaded her into my backpack animal carrier and my gf and I rode her
to the vet on our bikes as neihter my gf nor I have access to a car at
this time. She usually yowls when she's in this carrier, but she's so
unwell, she just hunkered down quietly into the towel with her ears
back and nostrils flaired.
Weight still at 12 pounds. Body temp slightly higher but still in the
normal range. This was a relief (the normal range) as we suspected she
might be feverish based on the flushed nose and warm ears. This would
suggest her wounds have become infected. The vet tech cleaned her
wounds, injected her with more saline.
It was another vet today. Dr, B. He diodnt' seem like he was trhing
to push expensive medical procedures on us. He said it was definitely
not a coyote that mauled her. She wouldn't be alive if it had been.
Definitely a dog. He said at this point, she could go either way.
There is still no way to know. He said to bring her back tomorrow for
another check up and cleaning -- all that can be done at this point.
We took her home. She ate a full can of cat food today (after her
kitty morphine started kicking in.) She gave a few weak kitten mews,
purred for a minute, and slept the rest of the day.
