My sister: Why don't they have that for humans?

That antibiotic is cefovecin. My fierce-pirate-stray-outside-cats have gotten that drug
on occasion (after being captured by an old cast net* of mine) because it's almost lethal
(as evidenced by my past infections) to try to give them a much less expensive pill by
mouth (which I do with my hand-raised inside cats).

Dogs and cats can take a very high dose that takes 10-14 days to decrease to it's
minimum effective dose. That high a dose in humans causes nerve (which the brain
has a lot of) damage. (OK now, no jokes about not being able to notice brain damage
in a cat. They may be stupid about which door is which, but they possess a brain
that can calculate a trajectory with the precision to effortlessly land them on a shelf
with a 4 inch clearance from the ceiling. [Then they fall asleep and roll off of it.] )

Whoa! Typo there. The ones you put down are the ones that make sense.
The ones that don't make sense are the ones you learn from.

After reading this, my only option (handy at the time) was to look at randomly generated computer code.

 

One of the best breast cancer pills on the market (Tamoxifin) is a high dosage sheep dewormer.


just sayin.

Touché

I used to look at what often appeared to be random computer code.
On closer examination, it wasn't the code that was random, just its output.

I thought the sheep WERE their sex toys, and dingoes, and kangaroos, and what-have-you.

Those Australians; while some might call it bestiality, I suspect they just can't tell the difference.
