@Chronic-Yonic I think a team of dwarves would struggle, more like a giant earthmover.

@HebrideanHecate I've been reflecting lately on all this. It has been more than 10 years I've been fighting the collective insanity. I don't think I have anything left anymore. Not to forget more insanity gets added daily. I raise the white flag. 🏳️

@HebrideanHecate They're ok. Mona is going on strong, have to monitor her food intake because she eats Lisa's share. And Lisa has lost some weight but blood tests say nothing unusual or alarming. How about your black devils?

@Chronic-Yonic Oh good. Deviling :blob_cat_giggle: Keeping an eye on Wilf as had a couple of slightly squitty poop episodes, he seems ok, but might have a dodgy tum. Will phone vet on Monday if still going on. He's always been inclined to this though at times. I was looking through a cupboard yesterday for something and had Tommy jump up my back, he's awful for that. Just arrgh, freeze, and a cat mountaineering up you!

@HebrideanHecate That being said, two things.The vet I see is ok, but god do I ever wish for former generations of vets (same goes for doctors/physicians) that took their jobs seriously and researched problems they rarely see and kept up to date with new diseases. Right now, I feel like ALL vets, including the one I see now for Mona and Lisa come out of the McDonald's school of veterinarians, try to coast on easy-peasy sessions (easy money). The only redeeming factor I keep the one I am seeing now is because she gives them acupuncture treatments which help in their nervousness. Lisa obviously has a skin problem (just very small rashes, here and there) or some kind of reaction. But heck, that is not in the disease of the month variety, so... As for my involvement in the collective craziness, I feel a little like I did when Twitter banned me: I don't want to start my days with anger in my heart and soul, I'm tired, stressed out, anxious, and reading about the doom and gloom eats away at me, now. I've no protection left. Was wondering if I should delete my account. Still thinking about it.

@HebrideanHecate The last good vet I saw was when Adèle and I had to bring in Genji, about 15 years ago. Dr Foote on Sherbrooke street was amazing. He must have been in his early 70s back then. We had just spent over $2000 on Genji for useless tests (from a vet's clinic, a vet who was educating future generations of vets at university, btw, so this explains that...). We described to doctor Foote the symptoms. He had no instruments in his clinic apart from some meds, a microscope, ad a few instruments like that, but no huge medical machinery. Without any tests, he told us if we had changed his food, it sounded like food allergies. Well, FFS, we changed brands and that was the problem! The other one had her head up her ass so much, she just wanted to squeeze every dime we had out of us for absolutely nothing. So now, I don't wonder about the vets' incompetence, it was the way they were trained and told how to face disease.So I do wish I knew a vet from the old school... I'd love to get to the bottom of Lisa's problem.

@Chronic-Yonic It's appalling and very concerning. I was visiting a friend on the 23rd and she said their vet had gone chain and there was a definite decline.
