Me? Darvocet. The cat? A freakin’ Fentanyl patch. Mind you, he did have major abdominal surgery. I suppose that trumps diverticulitis. But still. There’s something wrong with this picture. You may be asking, “Major abdominal surgery? For a cat?” Let me put it this way: My wife is allergic to cats. When her allergist asked her if she’d considered getting rid of the cats, she said, “Have you considered getting rid of your children?”
Update: Wacked out on the junk.
So your wife doesn’t understand the difference between a human child, and a flea-bitten mouse muncher?
My friend has a couple of ankle biters (small dogs). They both had hip surgery and were put on Fentanly patches at 150mcg doses.
We carry 25mcg, 50mcg, and 100mcg here. Most people use 25 or 50. Cancer pt’s can break the 100mcg barrier with tolerance that develops.
The point? Animals metabolize drugs different than we do. Thus, pain control is much different. I was surprised at the higher dosing required up front.
As a friend once said, “My doctor told me to get rid of my cat. I got rid of my doctor.”
Please go give your wife a scratchy tongued kiss from felines everywhere.
The truth is that I was a cat lover long before I met the wife. She’d had two when we met, and I’d probably had fifteen, counting various litters. I’d have gladly paid the high estimate for the surgery. You know you’ve dodged a major bullet when you’re relieved that surgery only cost $1700. And that was just the surgery.
$1700 for surgery on a cat?
I can get ‘em buried for a fraction of that.
I can provide as many as 10 cats, in fine condition, for half of that sum.
Dude! I would kill for a Darvocet right now. Of course, I would maim if someone would bring me another Pabst tall boy from the fridge…..
and just what the hell am I ‘sposed to do with a Turing Word of “months81”? You try working that into conversation
oooooh yeah. i was seriously contemplating around $3,000 for the maggster to be nuked for thyroid tumors last time RTO was deployed. thankfully they didn’t find any when they scanned her.
and I always tell the allergist my kitties don’t bother me, but i’m starting to wonder about the dog.
Yeah, the high end estimate was $3200. Yeesh.
Hey, a Robin Roberts sighting.
Michael,
You would love my ex. She wears the F-patch whenever it is cool enough that it doesn’t slide off from perspiration.
It’s no wonder that I am there every day at 6 AM to offer to take out the trash.
Oh. And BTW, saki is a much better buzz than Pabst. I’m not so sure that it is better than Ballantine Ale, though.
aaaaaw, nice collar. you can tell he’s high cause he’s still wearing the collar.
“My cat gets better drugs than I do” sounds like a Democrat campaign commercial.
