Omega19x: *kicks your computer*
ph33r my rod: *kicks it too*
ph33r my rod: ANYWAY, as I was saying... I bet if Seto'd gone through half of the things that Ryou has, he wouldn't be so high and mighty. :|
Omega19x: amen brotha' Malik
Omega19x: hm, any rp available?
Omega19x: we could always say it's tomorrow and take the kittens to th vet.
ph33r my rod: XD Yeah, we could.
Omega19x: (since technically Ryou's asleep, and we all know Tues and Wed, I'm hardly on)
ph33r my rod: (( Mmhmm. x.x ))
Omega19x: (cuz I work on those days!)
Omega19x: *Ryou has taken part of the morning shift off, so that he can help Malik take kitties to the vet!*
ph33r my rod: *has the kittens in their box, trying not to jostle them around too much*
Omega19x: "... at least I can drive us there."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "There's no way I'd be able to get them there on the motorbike, and walking that far again would suck."
Omega19x: *helps Malik put box of kittens in the car.* "Is Aisha coming too?"
ph33r my rod: "Eh, she didn't want to get in her carrier, so I guess not... Let's just hope she hasn't torn my room apart looking for her kittens by the time we get back."
Omega19x: *looks into the box, the kittens are mewing, not wanting to leave their mother*
Omega19x: "... that or you hold her the whole way..."
ph33r my rod: *thinks for a moment* "Maybe she was being uncooperative because the kittens weren't out of the house yet... I'll go see if she wants to be nice and get into her carrier now that she can't find them."
Omega19x: *looks in the box. Little Zahra is curled up in the back of it again.*
Omega19x: *and she's coughing, which makes Ryou worry*
ph33r my rod: *goes back in house, comes out again after a few moments with Aisha in her carrier, and sporting a couple of scratches on his arm*
Omega19x: "... come on... I'm really worried about Zahra..."
ph33r my rod: (( Brb ))
Omega19x: *starts up car*
ph33r my rod: *once in the car, lets Aisha out so she can hop in the box with her kittens*
Omega19x: *meow*
Omega19x: (heh, Aisha meows, kittes mew)
ph33r my rod: (( Heeee~ :D ))
Omega19x: *drive drive drive*
Omega19x: *magical vroomlapse*
ph33r my rod: *not looking forward to this; as it's the same vet clinic that gave him so much trouble when he took Aisha there the first time*
Omega19x: *pull up in parking space, get out of the car*
Omega19x: *kittens mew*
ph33r my rod: *somehow manages to get Aisha out of the box and back into the carrier without any injuries*
Omega19x: *Ryou picks up the box o' kittens*
Omega19x: *enter vet's office*
Omega19x: *which has a few people in line before you. There's someone there with a fluffy poodle on a leash, and a hoity toity woman holding a birdcage.*
Omega19x: "please sign in."
Omega19x: *looks up at the secretary, and then at Malik*
ph33r my rod: *twitches... this is the same secretary from before*
Omega19x: "... what happened?"
ph33r my rod: "... I'll tell you later." *surprisingly manages to get signed in without any troubles... apparently the secretary remembered him from before and decided NOT to question him*
Omega19x: *sits down, with the box of kittens in his lap*
Omega19x: *reaches in, and pets little Zahra*
Omega19x: "... there now, girl... it's going to be all right..."
ph33r my rod: *sits with Aisha's carrier on his lap* "... We could be waiting here a while."
Omega19x: *the little white kitten coughs more*
Omega19x: *Ryou rubs her back gently, concerned*
ph33r my rod: *looks into the box at her, sighs*
Omega19x: "... she is sick..."
Omega19x: "I know it."
ph33r my rod: *drapes an arm over his shoulders* "...hopefully not too sick."
Omega19x: *nods*
Omega19x: *magical waitlapse?*
ph33r my rod: *wait wait wait*
ph33r my rod: "..." *rather annoyed with the long wait*
Omega19x: "Maliku Ishtar?"
Omega19x: (well, that's closer than the last time she called your name)
ph33r my rod: (( XD Yeah. ))
ph33r my rod: *blinks and looks up, was counting cracks in the ceiling* "That's us." *captian obvious*
Omega19x: *picks up box of kittens, and heads to the back room*
Omega19x: "... What's your vet's name again?"
Omega19x: (hang on. phone)
ph33r my rod: *follows with Aisha's carrier* "... I didn't care to remember, really. Satou, I think..."
ph33r my rod: (( Kay. ))
Omega19x: (twas my aunt with a software question)
ph33r my rod: (( Ah. ))
Omega19x: *sets down box of kittens*
Omega19x: *that mew*
Omega19x: "Ah, Mr. Ishtar. I see you've brought in Aisha's kittens."
ph33r my rod: "Mmhmm." *same vet... not pleased at all*
Omega19x: "Today I'll give them each a physical examination, check for parasites, and we can discuss vaccinations for them as well. In about six months, you should probably think of spaying or neutering them as well."
ph33r my rod: "Yeah, okay."
Omega19x: (since you obviously didn't do that with Aisha)
ph33r my rod: (( Nope XD ))
Omega19x: *nods as well*
Omega19x: "Now, is there anything in particular that you are concerned about?"
Omega19x: *asking Malik before turning to the kittens*
ph33r my rod: *reaches into the box and scoops Zahra up* "... We think this one might be sick."
Omega19x: *the little kitten coughs*
Omega19x: "She hasn't been very energetic... and... she has this frequent dry cough..."
Omega19x: "... It sounds like she's wheezing... almost..."
Omega19x: (and Ryou here is obviously familiar with the many sounds of impaired breathing)
Omega19x: *takes Zahra, and starts examining her*
Omega19x: *examine examine examine*
ph33r my rod: *waits impatiently*
Omega19x: "I have a few suspicions, but I'll need to take a chest radiograph to know for sure."
Omega19x: *calls for a nurse to take the kitten for an x-ray*
Omega19x: *is worried*
Omega19x: "Are any of the other kittens showing any respritory distress?"
ph33r my rod: "Not that we've seen."
Omega19x: *pulls the calico out of the box and begins examining that one*
Omega19x: *process continues with the rest of the kittens, until the nurse brings little Zahra back into the room, and passes the vet the radiograph*
Omega19x: *takes Zahra into his hands*
Omega19x: "..." *pets her gently*
Omega19x: *looks at radiograph*
Omega19x: "... ah. It's just as I thought."
ph33r my rod: *looks up at him expectantly*
Omega19x: "you can see evidence of air-trapping. Her small airways are constricted, and the air cannot be properly exhaled."
Omega19x: *points how the lungs appear larger than normal*
ph33r my rod: *blinks*
Omega19x: "classic case of feline asthma."
ph33r my rod: *blinks, has no clue about asthma whatsoever* "... How bad is that?"
Omega19x: "It can be life threatening, but can also be easily managed."
Omega19x: "It used to be a real problem for cats, but there are devices now that help utilize inhalers for cats."
ph33r my rod: "... I guess that's good, then?" *headscratch*
Omega19x: "The pediatric spacer, for instance. It's an inhaler with a tiny face mask. Put the mask over the kittne's face, the spray is aeresolized, and the cat can breathe through the mask normally."
Omega19x: "I will give her an oral medicine too, but she can gradually be weaned off that, and do fine with just the inhaler."
Omega19x: "Use that when she starts having difficulty breathing."
ph33r my rod: *nods*
Omega19x: "you might have to do a few things around your home to manage the symptoms... keep the kittens away from smoke from fireplaces or cigarettes, for example"
ph33r my rod: "That won't be a problem."
Omega19x: "switch to a low-dust clay cat litter. That will also help."
Omega19x: "And keep them away from products with sprays, such as hairspray or spray deodarant."
Omega19x: "... and you'll easily be able to manage her condition."
ph33r my rod: *nods*
Omega19x: "Some other owners find air purifiers also helpful."
Omega19x: *continues checking up on the kittens*
Omega19x: "... all the others seem to have a clean bill of health. Aisha here did a fine job."
Omega19x: *smiles at that*
ph33r my rod: *does too*
Omega19x: "You're doing a good job with them, Mr. Ishtar."
ph33r my rod: *grins... if only Isis were there to hear that*
Omega19x: "Do you have any other questions?"
ph33r my rod: "Not at the time, no. Unless..." *looks over at Ryou... he's been awfully quiet*
Omega19x: *has been petting Zahra this whole time*
Omega19x: "... oh..."
Omega19x: "... where can I get the... the inahler for her?"
Omega19x: "You can purchase one here when you pay for this visit."
Omega19x: "oh good."
Omega19x: "If you have any other problems, feel free to call me immediately."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "Will do."
Omega19x: *smiles* "thank you very much..."
ph33r my rod: "... Yeah, thanks." *relieved that Zahra's problem can be easily handled*
Omega19x: *is too*
Omega19x: "... one more 'like owner, like pet' joke... I assume..."
Omega19x: *puts Zahra back into the box*
Omega19x: *and picks up the box*
ph33r my rod: *was holding Aisha's carrier the whole time, stands up*
Omega19x: *walk out, and back to front desk, so they can pay, and purchase medicine for Zahra*
ph33r my rod: *walk walk walk, magical paylapse*
Omega19x: *listens as a nurse teaches him how toput the device on the kitten, administer the medicine, when to use it, etc.*
Omega19x: *turns back to Malik* "... I'll probably have to buy a bigger mask when she gets older, but they said this one will do for now."
ph33r my rod: *nods*
Omega19x: (this is what he bought: http://www.winnfelinehealth.org/images/usingaerokat1.jp g)
ph33r my rod: (( Ah. =O ))
ph33r my rod: "... That didn't go as bad as I thought it would."
Omega19x: "not at all."
Omega19x: "Your vet seemed nice."
ph33r my rod: "I guess it was just a bad day the last time I was here."
Omega19x: *smiles* "that's good."
Omega19x: "... well... that it wasn't that way now..."
Omega19x: *get back in car, and vroomlapse home?*
ph33r my rod: *vroomlapse*
Omega19x: *takes box of kittens back inside*
ph33r my rod: *back inside also, lets Aisha out before she goes insane* "... I think Aisha's claustrophobic or something."
Omega19x: "... come on girl... time to take your medicine. You'll be able to breathe better... Yes, you will." *picks up little Zahra*
Omega19x: *the kitten appears a little afraid of the big thing in Ryou's hand, but it is in Ryou's hand, and she likes her Ryou.*
ph33r my rod: (( Awww :D ))
Omega19x: *device puffs, kitten squirms, Ryou holds the mask over her face, and she breathes in the medicine*
Omega19x: *already, she looks like she feels better*
ph33r my rod: *smiles*
Omega19x: "... there now, girl... you feel better, don't you..."
Omega19x: *mew*
Omega19x: *she seems much brighter, now that she can breathe better*
ph33r my rod: *reaches over and pets her*
Omega19x: *purr*
Omega19x: "... she's purring!"
Omega19x: (careful, don't let the other kittens get jealous)
ph33r my rod: *grins*
ph33r my rod: (( XD ))
Omega19x: *purr*
ph33r my rod: "...told you it wasn't anything to worry about too much. It takes a little extra effort to deal with this one, but at least it's handled pretty easily." *smiles*
Omega19x: "... well... without the medicine... we... we would need to worry."
Omega19x: "... but she'll be just fine now."
Omega19x: *turns to kitten* "isn't that right, little girl... you'll be just fine!"
Omega19x: *pets her*
ph33r my rod: *checks on the other kittens... they're just fine as well~*
Omega19x: *smiles*
Omega19x: *Zahra mews happily*
ph33r my rod: *sighs, relieved*
Omega19x: "I'd better put her back in the box with the others*
Omega19x: "
ph33r my rod: *nods, as Aisha's just come back into the room*
ph33r my rod: (( ... Oh. My. God. ))
Omega19x: (??)
ph33r my rod: (( Just a second... ))
ph33r my rod: (( There's finally some news on PLC's vocalist. Rough translation: "Daishi admitted to using drugs, and he told his lawyer he wanted to commit suicide (harbored suicidal thoughts). They're going to decide next trial what his 'punishment' will be. He says he wants to come back as an artist after this is all over." ))
ph33r my rod: (( The scariest part is that I HAD A DREAM LIKE THAT NOT TOO LONG AGO. *freaked out* ))
Omega19x: (yikes)
ph33r my rod: (( x_____x ))
Omega19x: (poor Daishi. If he were in the US, it would be all, 'oh, you used drugs. That's good. That helps your image. Here. Use more drugs, go to rehab, then have a comeback tour!')
ph33r my rod: (( ...sad thing is, that's probably true. ))
Omega19x: (oh, of course it's true!)
ph33r my rod: (( *head desk* .___. ))
Omega19x: (I take it our kitten fun is done?)
ph33r my rod: (( *head desk, multiple times* It doesn't have to be. .___.; I could use some good fluff, but if you wanna stop, then that's okay. ))
Omega19x: (mun sleepy)
ph33r my rod: (( Kay. ))
ph33r my rod: (( Night, then. x_x ))
Omega19x: (night)
