Ambush is low on his insulin. He has approximately three doses of PZI left. I called the vet I visited in January and asked they said they didn’t have any more PZI. In fact, the manufacturer wasn’t producing it any more.

My friend Laura in Hillsborough has a lot of experience with cats and works closely with feral colony management and kitty rescue. She recommended a vet in Hillsborough who she has been using for years. Gotta go with people in the know.

Ambush’s new vet has recommended that he be transitioned to a different insulin called Vetsulin. Ambush has an appointment for Monday afternoon for a checkup and to pick up the new insulin.

I called my regular vet in Tennessee to let her know about PZI. She hadn’t heard about the manufacturer discontinuing it. She said that Vetsulin is a good treatment. She was glad I called so she can study how a possible shortage/unavailability of PZI might impact her own patients.

Denis McGrath, blogger of Death Things on Sticks and writer of several Blood Ties episodes, posted a video of Mr Olbermann ranting against President Bush. (I would have posted the video here, but had trouble embedding the code.)

Fair warning, before you press play: if you like Bush, you won’t like what Mr Olbermann has to say.

I might be against the war in Iraq, but since we are there, it should be done correctly with our troops given the support they need. And part of that support means competent leadership in the White House. Some one who is oh maybe honorable and has not been on trial for war crimes?

I’m not even going to into all of implications of the Patriot Act, losses of personal freedoms, abuses of power by law enforcement using new “terrorism” investigation methods, and quite a few others.

Suffice it to say that the sound of the man’s voice makes me irate.
