So we finished off season one of Being Human and I think I might have enjoyed it more than most of the folks who were viewing it, but we all had a great time. Wanted to thank elo_sf for hosting and providing us with all kinds of yummy food. I got some crafting done with the "help" of Miss Prada so that felt rather good.

Then I came home to give Kage her first hydration treatment and failed rather miserably. I had to poke her twice and she growled at me the second time then struggled free and pulled the needle out. I felt so wretched that I let her go and told myself tomorrow for sure. I'm not allowed to give up, I know that, it's just incredibly disheartening to know I not only hurt her but also failed to actually do any good.

Tomorrow I'm going to make sure she's incapacitated before beginning the procedure. Wish me luck.

If you want a second set of hands, I'll come over daily to help with this for the duration, just lemme know and I'm yours.

I may take you up on that, although happily she has ceased sulking under the papasan so I think I'm forgiven and can try again tomorrow. I also think I might have stuck her too slowly, which hurt more than the quick jab at the vet's office.

I can offer a second set of hands as well if there's ever a day that Aelf can't make it. Don't beat yourself up too much, this is hard and scary.

There is nothing more stressful than having to medicate a sick pet. I went through a week of pure hell when I had to give Ezra a combination of pain meds and antibiotics after his dental surgery. The hardest part is that you can't explain to them that what you're doing is actually supposed to make them feel better.

some of it is being willing to try a 3rd time if necessary, when I had to give Daisy fluids it took me a few tries until i got the hang of it

Good Luck with all her treatments. I continue to hold you and her in the Light.
