and you give yourself away

[slumber]

So. Back. What'd I miss?

PS. No, seriously, tell me what's going on in your life, I really need to know or else I won't be able to figure out what you're talking about in your LJs anymore and then I'd feel kinda stupid because I'm a terrible friend. :|

PPS. Oh. I also wrote a Theo-centric fic.

And how the fuck do I write Gaiman a letter? His site's useless wah I want him to know the 'special 1 of a thousand edition written by Gaiman' note I got with my copy of Anansi Boys was sweet. :|

Ohhh, does that mean he's not going to need medication, then? (I just got a cat, and now the mention of pet illnesses freaks me out because how do I know there's something WRONG? Why did you suspect he had diabetes?)

It's very hard to give rodents medication for diabetes, the best you can do is introduce fenugreek seeds into their food, cut out as much sugar as possible, start giving them vitamins, and test them weekly. I'm testing and have changed his food and started vitamins, but I'm not giving him fenugreek unless his blood sugar peaks.

And he was acting listless and drinking a LOT (ounce of water one night, and we're talking a critter who weighs about four ounces, tops) and gained a bit of weight recently, and Campbells Dwarf Hamsters (what he is) have a pretty wicked tendancy towards diabetes due to stupid breeding in the past.

And I've discovered that, as soon as you figure out what they're like normally (personality, etc) it's not that hard to figure out if critters are feeling...off...mostly because they start acting weird, hiding, picking at their food, whatever. And after that is what vets are for. Heh.

Ohhh, okay, I see.

Yeah, that's kinda true. *still frets* :P
