Fuck, fuck, fuckin' fuckity

Well, I drained the cat's ear, again.

Please note that I am not a vet, nor a habitual abuser of animals. I am, however, accustomed to the sort of pseudo-medicine that is practiced with animals when there's insufficient budget for a specialist, and sufficient practical knowledge of rudimentary healing present.

So. I drain shammash's ear abscess, with the chipper advice from marxdarx's sister the vet that yep, this is how it's done, and then you wash it out with H₂O₂ and water...

It is yucky. It is yucky and yucky and stressful for everyone. I thought it was bad clipping claws, OK?

*sigh* His ear's starting to heal, though, and hopefully I'll never ever ever have to do that again after it's all better.

By using good animal nail clippers and giving him pounce afterwards, Droolpuss (our tabby) barely deigns to notice our clipping his claws anymore except for the final part where we give him the pounce.

Hm.

What's pounce, anyway?
