I forget
I keep forgetting to post things here. Twitter is where I'm a bit more active -- https://twitter.com/SterlingKato ^^;
Mitsy passed away.
Mitsy passed away at 6pm today. It was a breach egg again, but it was stuck in such a way there was no getting it out and it was too late. She was in pain. We let her go and surgically removed the eggs. We're hoping to keep one of her babies. My heart is broken. (For those wondering, yes, she was put to sleep. She was in pain.) Needless to say, the last 2 days have been hectic and spent working with her and the vet. My heart hurts and it will be a day to recover. However, work will resume tomorrow if possible. Thank you, - Kato
EMERGENCY!: Egg-bound chameleon!
There's a bit of an emergency -- Mitsy (my female veiled chameleon) has somehow become egg-bound (meaning, she's not able to lay her eggs ). We're sure it's a stuck egg in her as we can see her straining and she’s suddenly shown signs of pain and egg-binding. Needless to say we’re rushing her into the vet once the vehicle returns. That said, since this was a sudden cost and I’ve been unable to rebuild the vet savings due to having to take in one of our cats for another issue (she’s okay, but needed an update on meds). The total cost would be $250 give or take. I can cover half with what I have in savings so far, but the rest is left floating. I’m hoping it will be a simple fix (such as removing the blockage or possibly a shot of oxytocin to get the contractions strong enough to push the blockage out) but I’m not sure. I don’t want to ask for donations but this is a big emergency. Mitsy was doing just fine; digging and doing all she’s meant to to lay her eggs, but this morning

It's okay to feel that strong, emotional pain and helplessness when a friend is going through something like depression. I've been in that situation and I've personally put people through that situation. It's so heartbreaking for everyone involved. For the person going through depression, it's shameful and the worse thing someone can do is make them feel even worse about themselves. It can be hard to help to him, but you've done the right thing by trying to supportive and helpful.
I hope your friend continues to recover from all this. Let her know the journey isn't going to be easy, but with enough effort and support, he or she can become healthy and happy again.
