griff Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Oh No Owl, positive thoughts being sent for your Aunty, what an awful thing to happen. Jacobean.... i hope the housing doesn't get planning would be lovely if they could find a protected species/plant on both yours and Merledogs site...hopefully that would slow things down a bit. it really is a shame that money takes priority over common sense and safety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merledogs Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Hope they don't get planning permission on either site michelle RMF : I took Kinky down to neighbours earlier for a visit. I asked the bloke if he wanted to have her for a few hours. He moaned about having to go out so I said fine, I'll take her home, but then he ended up keeping her for a while. He brought her to the front door a while later because she was asking to go out. I asked if he wanted to see her again tomorrow, but he said his wife was moaning because she was there. Not sure whether I believe him or not. Either way, I only took her down there so they could see her, I couldn't particularly give a toss if she never goes there again. If they want to chuck their toys out of the pram, no skin off my nose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griff Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Stuff em Alex, you are a far nicer person than me as after they had left her with such a bad infection i would have told them go within 2 feet of her and i wouldn't be responsible for my actions, let them get their own cat and have all the vet costs that go along with it! How is Kinky doing now? the snow has melted yay!!!!! Laney hasn't whinged since this morning and the bandage has stayed on!!! top marks for whoever did it as normally they are off within hours.

Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 evening all I know there are really serious issues in the world right now but I am having a self pitying day today as my damn ringworm is not clearing well and I think I may have some starting on my face. grumble moan whinge whine pity party Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 oh no!!!! i can fully understand why you are upset, could you go to a walk in clinic over the weekend to get the treatment for it and stop it spreading too much onto your face? i thnk you can be prescribed tablets for it.... or i think daktarin cream is supposed to help. when i had a skin infection before i tried the natural stuff like tea tree but it stung like hell and didn't make any difference for me i had to get the tablets off the dr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Phebe - good thoughts for you Aunt. How sad to be doing well then have a nasty accident like that. HLGS - what are you using for the ringworm? OH uses Mycil cream which works for him, but I know the previous treatment didn't help at all. Could you find a pharmacist open tomorrow and ask for help? I am having a minor "why do I bother" moment. I did a homecheck for a rabbit today and the woman's behaviour and attitude were awful. The rescue have turned her down but she's already called me this evening to complain and I'll have to speak to her tomorrow too. I'm currently feeling that I'd rather have a quiet life than be a volunteer for a rescue, but I'm sure that will pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griff Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Karen, i am sure the majority of your home checks go well and result in a good home for the pet in question, don't let this one get you down too much..... humans can be bizarre creatures i am sure you must meet some "interesting" people Sanrosscot, loved the clip of you and Molly... she really likes agility doesn't she? and is quick too!!

owl Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Thanks for your good thoughts. Spoken to auntie on her friend's mobile, she sounded quite cheerful and says the pain is under control with morphine. Which is probably why she was so happy, bet she was high as a kite! It's a hip fracture and surgery is being done tomorrow. Surgeon says she can go home after a week. That sounds a short time for someone with so many other health issues.

Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) I was using daktarin cream but am now using Canesten ( went to chemist today ) I know Ringworm takes weeks to clear so its hard to gauge if its working, the poor dog Tim , I caught it off is in a far worse state than me http://www.justgiving.com/Mark-Green10 Edited February 9, 2013 by Happylittlegreensquirrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to help but don't have anything to spare Lxx We would love more help thank you so much , I do get a bit frustrated sometimes that there are not more hours in the day !
