List,
Lately I have been swamped with both care and huge expenses of an ill
pet. Sometime I wish my dad were still around because he lived on the
Grunthaner Farm in PA and "he" could have helped me with some of these
choices ......wink wink. But now my BFF at work and around the corner
from me has started chemo as well and I need to solve some problems so
I get some sleep and reduce my stress so I don't bring a cold to work
which will hinder my friends health being she has no immune system
while on chemo.

So here is my problem:
My cat's oncologist told me yesterday she has a bad case of fleas
which is making her anemia worse, I didn't panic until the tech hands
me Stitches and her release report and tells me I must bring her &
Sprite to my local vet for Revolution (I use Frontline and it doesn't
work) which is a prescription only flea product for pets and get her
dewormed as with fleas I should suspect worms.  She also tells me if I
don't flea bomb the entire house after using Revolution the fleas will
be everywhere and eat me and lay eggs in the carpet (I HATE CARPETING
now). I'm really pissed off because this BIG hospital won't sell me
crap to do this and sends me back to my local vet because they said
they can't step on the toes of the local vets. Personally that is BS
and all healthcare human and animal is all about hard cold CASH. I've
spent thousands 3, 4 or maybe even 5 in the last 2 months there and if
they were upfront in the very beginning Stitches would be a WHEEL
CHOCK by now ....... thank GOD for a sense of humor...wink. Note, I do
love the kitty but not telling me the total cost of care pisses me
off. I wish I grew up on a farm and didn't have such a squishy heart.

I ran out last night exhausted and in a panic and bought Zodiac Flea
Smoger and the label says I have to turn off all the gas in the house
because of the pilot light igniting the fogger but it is snowing, cold
and getting colder. I can't call the gas company for another bill I
must do this myself. What should I do, can I tape off the kitchen
doorway which has linoleum floors (no flea spray needed), the kitchen
is connected to the laundry area which also has the furnace & hot
water tank. I have an electric frig (causes spark), gas stove, gas
dryer gas furnace, and gas hot water tank. I could turn off each gas
line to these appliances individually but I'd have to figure out how
to get the pilots back on and I can turn off the furnace and unplug
the frig. But this seems to be a lot of work, can't I just put a sheet
of plastic on the doorway to the kitchen unplug the frig, turn off the
furnace and then let the bombs go off without fear of fire?

Thanks guys and girls sorry this was so long, I love you folks so much
because you always have my back and were very helpful with most my
problems as my dad always had my answers but nolonger now that he got
his new job on the top floor.
Linda & Pinky
