My Cat, A Rabies Vaccine and Tons Of Vomit

Posted by Lance on August 25th, 2008

IMG_0879 by you. I took my cat in for her rabies shot on Wednesday. I really didn’t think anything about it cause its a routine shot.

I brought her in, they gave her the shot and we left. About a half hour later, she started to cry… then she started to vomit. After she threw up 3 more times, I brought her back to the vet.

They gave her some fluids and a shot of antihistamine and told me she should be fine.

When we got home, she seemed to be back to normal – I’m attributing that to the fluids. She ate a little bit and drank a ton of water.

Then about an hour later she started to cry again. She started looking for a corner but didnt make it and vomited all over the floor. I ran to her and she went into my closet where she projectiled all over my hand.

It was late by now so I couldnt bring her back to the Vet. I watched her all night and made sure she was doing ok. When I woke up the next day, she seemed better.

I gave her a little bit of soft food and thought we were out of the woods.

Nope.

She again started to throw up so I rushed her back to the Vet.

They put us in our own room and we waited. And waited and waited. We waited for a freakin hour! I dont know who your Vet is… but Banfield – the one’s at all the Pet Smarts – stink with having you wait. I mean an hour wait for a sick cat??

Anyway, when they finally came to us, the Dr. (very nice and apologetic by the way) looked over my cat’s files and told me to NEVER give her another vaccination again. If she reacted to the rabies shot the next reaction could be worse.

They gave her more fluids, medication and some special food and after a couple days she was much better. She is attacking my feet as I write.

Has this ever happened to anyone?

Is this bad that I can’t get her vaccinated again?

Why you should read your e-mail thoroughly

Posted by The Mayor of Bloggintown on August 13th, 2008

So I got an e-mail last night telling me that I had an audition for this CBS show. I donloaded the sides, worked all night on them and went to bed feeling confident that I would do well.

I woke up, worked a little more on the scenes, got ready and let my house.

I got there about 15 minutes early, listened to music and about 10:20 I left my car and walked to the front gate.

The security guard came out and asked what I was there for. “I have an audition at 10:30,” I said.

“Those are tomorrow.”

Awesome.

EARTHQUAKE!

Posted by The Mayor of Bloggintown on July 29th, 2008

I was sitting on the couch working when I felt a little rumble beneath me. I looked up at my earthquake indicator – the hanging Spider-man in the kitchen – to see if it was moving. It was.

“No big deal,” I thought, “these things usually last only a couple seconds”. But this one kept going on and on.

I went and grabbed my cat thinking I’d run my ass downstairs and out the building but then it stopped.

I didn’t think anything else really about it but then my brother called me and asked if I was ok. “How did you know?” I asked. He said it was all over the news.

A 5.8 magnitude!

Freakin weird!

Comic Con Goodness

Posted by The Mayor of Bloggintown on July 29th, 2008

I love Comic-Con.

Every July, thousands of people flock to the San Diego Convention Center in search of movie previews, celebrities, hot chicks dressed as Wonder Woman, tons of free crap and, oh yeah, comics.

The panels are the main reason I go every year. This year, Hugh Jackman made a surprise appearance shilling Wolverine – which I freakin missed! The Heroes cast was there and I missed them also – I went to the convention center an hour early and the line was seriously a mile long. People had slept there the night before so because of that I got screwed and missed Heroes and the Lost panel.

I did see three really great panels: Watchmen, Entertainment Weekly’s Visionary Filmmakers Panel and Kevin Smiths annual Saturday night fun fest.

I don’t want to go on to do a full blown review of the whole Convention cause there are a ton of them up already but If you ever get a chance to go for even one day, you gotta go.

Lying to the Dentist

Posted by The Mayor of Bloggintown on June 30th, 2008

I went to the dentist last week to take care of a filling that somehow fell out. How does a filling fall out?

Anyway, after sitting in the chair and hearing the most God awful noises whirring noises coming from my mouth, it was fixed. And it only cost me $480! Yeah, I couldn’t believe it either. $480?!

But it was done so what could I do about it? I couldn’t rip the filling out and say, “No thanks, I changed my mind.”

As I was leaving the dentist told me to be careful and not eat anything for a couple of hours.

Around 4 I got really hungry so I opened the fridge and took out a left over salad from the night before. I started devouring it when I suddenly heard a big crunch inside of my mouth. My tongue fished around and I spit out something white. Damn – my filling fell out!

I called the dentist and he said I could come in immediately. I’m far too lazy to do two things in the same day so I just said I would come the next day.

That morning, as I sat in the chair I got a sudden feeling of, “I shouldn’t be here.” The Dr. opened my mouth and said everything looked fine. I told him that it didn’t feel like anything was wrong but I just wanted to make sure. I then brought out the evidence. He looked at it with his little microscope and said: “It looks like a crab shell.”

Cut to: Two nights before, my girlfriend and I went out to dinner. She got Alaskan King Crab legs but didn’t finish them so we got a doggy bag. The next night, she made a salad but since my tooth was hurting we didnt eat much of it. So, when I ate what was left of the salad that fateful day, then had been a little piece of crab shell left at the bottom of the bowl.

Back to the dentist office: I had a decision to make. I could fess up and tell the truth about the leftover crab…or I could lie.

I lied.

I told them I had made a salad from scratch and it must have been in the bag somewhere and plus, I didn’t even like crab (which was another lie cause I love it.) They thought that was just the strangest thing…how could a crab shell get into a salad bag? I thought it was equally strange since I had just made it up right there on the spot and knew I could have come up with a much better excuse.
