are you talking about the rekogs where you type out text? Those are kinda underpaid and known to reject fwiw.

 

Ya those are the ones. Are there better ones I should know about?!

 

Cat people!!! We need some help. Our kitty has been pulling out her fur for a few months now. At first it was just licking it like crazy until it came out. We thought it was a little allergy and she'd get over it. Then it got worse, and we called the vet and they said to just give her a flea treatment because it sounded like fleas (though there are none in the house and there's literally like one day she could have been exposed to them and it was months ago and I can't believe she has fleas and no one else here does). So we figured we'd wait until after the holidays. But in the last week or so, she's stepped up her game and is pulling chunks of hair, so bad that she has sores everywhere she's pulling it out. When it wasn't so bad, everyone I talked to said the vet never helped them, that their cat just stopped doing it one day, but that it would get bad in the meantime.

So... what do you say? Is there an ointment we can put on her open sores? Can we give her something over the counter that'll help? @dewdrop has been wiping her with a damp cloth in the evenings, and she likes it, but she's not getting any better.

Anyone, anyone? @Hummingbirdee ? @Buzby ? Anyone?

 

Say Whaaaaaaa????!!!

 

Are you over 1000 hits yet? If so, you should be looking for CIs (Customer Interest Audit) hits. 1c, can do in few seconds, especially Kada's keybind script. Jamelios. Kasistos. Beyond that, closed quals are your friend. Stick to the board, watch people talking about them, and generally pay attention to the forum for batches.

 

It's just toy for all of you big babies.

 

I mean. I would def take her to the vet at that point. It could be excessive grooming from anxiety or stress, or it could be an infection of some sort. Hot spots maybe?

Have you changed her food recently? Could be an allergy. Or dust mites. Or mold. Cats will even sometimes rip their own fur out when they feel pain.

I would be kinda worried that she will give herself an infection from the sores too tbh. They sell topical hydrocortisone cream for cats/dogs like this that I’ve used on hot spots in the past: https://www.chewy.com/dp/106178?utm...WmsTnTPgYbgTdXRQKygaAvkIEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

But, I’d still badger your vet if this isn’t clearing up for the poor kitty.

 

Could be anxiety.
Here is something that is people cat & dog safe.
It has silver in it. Speeds up healing process.
Maybe get a new vet.

I don't know- but, I will ask the Director of the cat rescue I work with. Won't get an answer until tomorrow, but I'll let you know what she says... maybe she will have some ideas as she's been doing this and getting lots of cats vetted for years. Worth a try.

 

That would be great, thanks!

 

Keep me updated? We just hate seeing her like this.

 

I have around 250 to go until I hit my 1000. Yet another reason I need to get myself to just buckle down and do a bunch of quick penny hits. I REALLY appreciate it! Thanks for giving me some info

 

Hubby and kid have to go into town tomorrow, so I'm having them stop to see if we can get any of this to help out her sores. We'll get her to the vet as soon as we can get over in that direction (other direction from town, still a good ways, and not happy roads right now).

 

Another questions (sorry)...how does one get involved with "closed quals"? How does one do a qual if it is closed?

 

Sometimes with more popular requesters qualification hits will be posted here, otherwise use the qual watcher option in Overwatch. (Click the blue link in my post if you don't have that yet).
