Feeling down and having trouble concentrating the last few days. Still being sick doesn't help, of course. Allergist visit May 20 ( Read more... )

Weird, obvious dreams: Taking care of an entire colony of ~bats that kept being different and I didn't know what to do; the cockatiel ones, the kangaroo rat ones, the ones with so many fleas. Actual Bat cat's front legs giving out and him being distressed ( Read more... )

Bat has had some digestive problems going on for a little while now. When he started throwing up water I decided to take him to the vet ASAP, and ASAP was this morning.
