my apartment, the toxic waste dump
Jun. 23rd, 2005 08:33 pmso monkey had her second round of chemo today. this time, instead of an IV, it was a pill... she wasn't happy about having a vet tech shove something in the back of her throat, but as soon as she swallowed it, the tech whipped out a can of really gooey, smelly cat food, and monkey forgot about her fussin' and dove face-first into the can. *grin*
the funky thing is, there's a second dose that i have to give her tomorrow. and because it's chemotherapy, the tablet is pretty toxic. i have to wear latex gloves when i give it to her, and then i have to put everything in a biohazard bag and seal it up before i throw it in the trash. and i have to wear gloves when i change the litterbox, because the stuff gets excreted in her urine. so if anyone notices my hair starting to fall out, you'll know i didn't wash my hands after doing litterbox stuff. :)
the miracle of veterinary medicine...
