Anyone have luck catching a feral chicken?? UPDATE: Rooster caught, no hen

I just checked on her and she's still alive. Pulled at tick off her neck. I sat with her in front of the furnace and rubbed her body to try and get blood flow going. She stiffens and her pupils open. She makes a pitiful meow and breathes heavy. She relaxes and her pupils constrict again.
I can't believe how cold she still is. She drools and it's cold coming out of her mouth. It's like she needs a warm IV. I bundled her up again and left her alone.

Poor baby. I know that is so hard to watch.

I keep telling her she fought this long. Hang on a little longer help is coming.

Did someone mention hot mess???? Right over here (raising hand). While drying my hair this morning my arms went numb all the way to fingertips. Painfully numb! I sat the hairdryer down not a second too soon. I almost threw it across the room in frustration. Then there was tears, asked hubby to help dry my hair, more tears because he was clueless! Touched up makeup, puffy eyes then went to the closet to find something to wear for church. More tears because I have gained weight. Anyway...


@Smuvers Farm I am about 1:45 from Nashville. We could meet sometime for lunch!!

I am not a Whole Foods fan. Way too expensive for me!

Huntsville area has Sprouts, Whole Foods, Fresh Market and Earth Fare

Hey! I am so sorry that all this happened before you even left the house today!

What if hubby mounted some kind of a holster on the wall that could hold the blow dryer? Something with a little swivel to it.
Let your whole body move instead of holding it up and away.
That's bad for those peripheral nerves.
Are there any products out there like that?

---I don't know if this is possible but I bet you could do it! You can do anything.

If it makes you feel better I'm gaining weight too.
Less light=
I need more calories

Then the holidays come with all their darn delicious things to eat and I hate to waste leftovers.
Then yesterday I saw this sign at tjmaxx and almost bought it! Because if I can't laugh, I DEFINITELY CRY.

I quit wearing make up decades ago. Lol yes decades.
I also decided that I AM in shape. Round is A shape.

Me two x 2

Do you have a heating pad? If you choose this option be very very careful since she is incapacitated and cannot get out from under if to warm.

Maybe toss a towel in the dryer for a few minutes then wrap her while its still warm.

It is possible she was poisoned.

Making her less uncomfortable is about all you can do for tonight.

Poor kitty

Thanks for all the well wishes. I was able to take about an hour nap when my son went down for his nap. I am feeling a good bit better, but my nerves just feel raw. Everything is bothering me, rubbing me the wrong way, and making me feel frazzled. I just hope this goes away by tomorrow. Working with this sort of mental crap going on will be FUN......

I thought of a heating pad too but she doesn't move at all. I warmed up some towels but she seems to cool them off.
I know I did all I could to help her. I hope she hangs on till someone else can take over.

Man I haven't been getting any updates from here lately I'm all behind

 

[staceyj]

Omg I'm just seeing this about the cat!

Are her gums pale?

Poor thing. Is pitbullmama around? Maybe she has some suggestions.
