One time I had finished making dinner, don't remember what, but I had finished making dinner and it was ready to come out of the oven. I do remember thinking where the hell did Tony (my room mate at the time) put the pot holders? Then I remember thinking beer or wine with dinner? Beer or wine? Beer or wine? I forgot all about the pot holders and grabbed the the dish with both hands. I blistered all 8 fingers and both thumbs. Needless to say I didin't eat dinner that night but I did watch TV holding a cold beer in each hand. Keith Don't Fuck with me Keith - J. Mandeville

The other day when I went grocery shopping I forgot to remove the bottled water from under my cart. No one noticed and I wasn't charged. When I got to my truck to load my groceries there it was. I did the adult thing and went back in and paid for it. Keith Don't Fuck with me Keith - J. Mandeville

I can't remember if FIP was part of the blood panel done, but it was considered because we recently adopted a new cat from the pound. He didn't have a fever nor fluid build up in the abdomen so the doctor discounted it. Keith Don't Fuck with me Keith - J. Mandeville

Thanks everyone for the kind words and advise. The kind words bring comfort and the advise has given me something to think about. Keith Don't Fuck with me Keith - J. Mandeville

Congrats!

Sorry for the very long post. If you want to skip all the detail just read the last paragraph. One morning, two weeks ago, Scooter, one of my 5 ½ year old cats seemed a little groggy when he got up and didn’t want breakfast which was odd for him. I checked him out and he seemed fine, his nose was wet, but he just seemed groggy. I had some errands to run so I did them and came home to check on him. He was lying on the floor breathing very heavily so I rushed him in to his doctor. She examined him and immediately put him in an oxygen chamber. She told me his symptoms were indicative of congestive heart failure, pneumonia, or one other thing I don’t recall. She his condition was not good. She said she wanted to do some x-rays, a blood panel and CT scan. I told her he had a history of severe allergies. She said that was good to know because he had also considered the possibility of a severe asthma attack. The CT scan revealed a normal heart as best she could tell, but his lungs were full of fluid. She decided to treat him as though he were having an asthma attack, gave him an injectable steroid and monitored him for the rest of the day. She called to say he was ready to be picked up and said he seemed to be responding to the steroids, but was still very sick. When I went to pick him up she showed me before and after x-rays of his chest which showed his lungs were starting to clear. She gave me some prednisone tablets to give him starting that evening and recommended I keep a close eye on him that night and if his breathing did not improve to take him to a local ER she recommended (that’s another story I’ll share in another thread). A few hours later he was still having a difficult time breathing so I took him to the ER and explained the situation. The ER doctor wanted to run all the same tests Scooters primary doctor ran but I consented only to the x-rays since his heart looked normal in the earlier CT scan, and the blood panel results wouldn’t be back until after the results from the earlier blood draw. I asked that he be put in an oxygen chamber to help his breathing which they did right away. The ER doctor suggested an injectable bronchodilator which I agreed to. I called around 12 midnight to check on Scooter and the doctor told me he was in guarded condition and his chances were 50/50. I got a call at 6:30 the next morning saying Scooter didn’t make it that he had just passed away. When I told the doctor I’d be over right away to pick Scooter up and the Doctor seemed to discourage me saying they could make any arrangements I wanted. I said No I’d come pick him up. I was at the ER 15 minutes later with a quilt for them to place him in. I waited for about 15 to 20 minutes before they brought him out in the quilt. I took him out to my truck uncovered him hugged him and cried for a while. I noticed that full rigor had already set in which I thought was strange since he had passed only about an hour before. Being suspicious I went back that evening and picked up his e-rays and brought them to his primary care doctor for review. She said the latest x-rays were normal and seemed perplexed. I went home, called the ER doctor and told him I was suspicious of Scooter’s time of death. The ER doctor assured me that Scooter had indeed died when stated and that rigor can set in with in 5 minutes of death when an animal dies during respiratory distress. The next day when Scooter’s blood results came back there were no white blood cells to speak of so his primary care doctor sent the results to a pathologist for review. The pathologist’s report stated that the probable cause of death was anaphylactic shock due to a severe allergic reaction. She, Scooter’s primary care doctor, posted the results on the internet asking for additional advice. All opinions came back the same as the first pathologist report. She told me they were confused because he was apparently responding to the steroid treatment and didn’t know why Scooter died. After I got off the phone I reviewed the bill I received from the ER and noticed they had given Scooter a Furosemide injection so I got on line and found that Furosemide is given to treat, among other things, congestive heart failure. What? I thought the doctor was going to give Scooter a bronchodilator? During my research I found that too large a dose of Furosemide can cause heart palpitations and irregular pulse. When I brought Scooter to the ER a dog in very serious condition was brought in right after, and another was on its way suffering from an apparent poisoning – I overheard the nurse talking to the owner on the phone. My question is, if the ER doctor was overwhelmed with patients all needing immediate care and had inadvertently given Scooter too large a dose of Furosemide could that have killed him?

Your very kind PM made me feel better the other day

I think it would be OK if you phrase it properly. I once had a downstairs neighbor who would talk on the phone in the kitchen. I could hear her so clearly she may as well have been in my kitchen. One day I saw her in the court yard and told her about it. What I didn't do was preface my statement with the fact that the venting in the complex was horrible, and that it didn't bother me I was concerned about her privacy - I had over heard some private things. She got pissed and defensive and it didn't turn out well. Sooo, you might start your conversation, after introducing yourself of course, with something about the construction of the building lacking.
