Awww sorry you lost the kitty. He sounded like a fighter. Hugs to you, MM.
ReplyDeleteEqual parts of regular white table vinegar and alcohol dripped in the ear with a cotton ball, a few times a day should help neutralize that fungal infection.
Looks like Blogger did in your blog, too? Yep, I had just put one up, and zip, gone. Oh, I am so sorry to hear about Gabriel. Hugs to you. I hope that isn't some bad thing in your house, wonder how it would be dealt with... I envision some big circus tent thing over your place to fumigate, but I think that's for bugs, not fungusy stuff...
ReplyDeleteAs far as the air conditioner... Think ice cubes? Snow? Popsicles? That's the best I can do from here. Hope all comes out in the wash, as it were...
Cat
Thanks, Cat, it's got to get better around here soon.
