Exotic cats are like two year old children their entire lives. Everything they see will end up in their mouths and a lot of it won’t be good. We had a sick Serval who eventually died from cancer, who we had to force-feed every meal for seven months. It was an all out battle to get good wholesome food into this cat, but one day a volunteer left a bottle of flea dip in the kitchen. You can’t get within ten yards of a cat with flea dip behind your back but this Serval found the bottle of flea dip and chewed the bottle in half and then drank half of the contents before he was discovered. That was nearly the end of him. VOMITING should NOT be induced if: 1. More than two hours have passed since the poisoning. 2. The cat is comatose or nearly there. 3. The cat has swallowed a petroleum product. 4. The cat has overdosed on tranquilizers. 5. The cat has completely swallowed a sharp object. 6. The cat has swallowed an acid, alkali, solvent or cleaning agent.

OTHERWISE, INDUCE VOMITING by giving three cc’s Hydrogen Peroxide 3% orally, every ten minutes for up to three doses. Hold the mouth shut for a few seconds and then stand back. Or 1/4 teaspoon of salt dropped on the back of the tongue. Whether the poisoning has come from plants, chemicals or poisonous toads, (with the exception of the items listed in DO N OT I N DUCE VOMITI N G) the key to survival is getting the poison out of the body as quickly as possible. After you have induced vomiting, you need to prevent or at least delay the absorption of all traces that may be left in the body. Even if the cat did not swallow, some poison may have already been absorbed through the roof of the mouth. To prevent or delay absorption, mix 5 grams of activated charcoal with 20 cc water and give one teaspoon per two pounds of body weight. Thirty minutes later give one teaspoon of Milk of Magnesia for each five pounds of body weight. If these items are not available you can coat the stomach with milk and vegetable oil and give a warm water enema.

This is not at all an inclusive list of poisonous chemicals, but is the most frequently ingested in the cat crowd. Many of these chemicals are used to control vermin and insects, and because your cat will unhesitatingly eat either of these, he may consume the drug second hand. Rat poison can be Strychnine, Sodium Fluroacetate (1080), Metaldehyde, Phosphorus, Arsenic, Zinc Phosphide, Decon, Warfarin, and Pindone. hoodie allen tickets deutschlandAdd to this list, food poisoning, lead poisoning, drinking antifreeze (they love the stuff) and the accidental ingestion of human drugs and your symptoms all look pretty similar:chief keef hoodies for sale Your cat may exhibit one or all of these symptoms. mens sleeveless hoodie jd

Treat poisoning by these chemicals by inducing vomiting and then coat the bowels and delay absorption as indicated in POISONING . These are only temporary measures and you should get your cat to a Veterinarian as quickly as possible. Many poisons result in long lasting problems usually affecting the liver and or kidneys. This is why it is so important to remove the toxins from the body as quickly as possible.lrg good times hoodie Some poisons are absorbed through the skin. charizard hoodie for saleInsecticides such as Dichlorvos, Malathion, Sevin dust, Ectoral, Lindane, Methoxychlor, Toxaphene, Chlordane, and Lead are used to kill fleas, but used improperly can kill the cat instead of the flea. dga hoodiesSymptoms include twitching, convulsions, and hysteria.

If the cat has licked his fur, induce vomiting and then wash the cat immediately. If your exotic ingests gasoline, turpentine or kerosene or even inhales them, he may exhibit signs of laboured breathing, convulsions, vomiting and coma. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Be ready to give artificial respiration if the cat stops breathing and give one ounce of cooking oil and then thirty minutes later give one teaspoon of Milk Of Magnesia per five pounds of body weight. Get him to your Veterinarian. If your feline swallows acid DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Rinse the cat’s mouth with water and then give one teaspoon of Milk of Magnesia for every five pounds of body weight. If it was an alkali, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING and mix one part vinegar or lemon juice to four parts water and give orally. If your cat licks or eats a Bufo Marinus Toad, use a garden hose or kitchen sprayer to flush the mouth, being careful not to drown the cat. There are 12 species of this nasty frog world wide and they prefer dark, damp areas, like the places your cat will most likely choose to cool off.

A cat can die within 15 minutes of tasting one of these toads. Induce vomiting and then be ready to administer artificial respiration on your way to the Veterinarian. We had a Bengal survive his encounter with the Florida species of this toad, but he nearly lost his tongue from the corrosiveness of the secretion. As with most disasters, you can prevent them with proper planning and not having to deal with these emergencies is a reward that will far outweigh the time and cost involved in prevention.

Alien Freak Wear (AFW) is a Clothing Brand created by Morgan Rose () of #AFW #teamalienfreak 325 Photos and videosViewing Tweets won't unblock @alienfreakwear.The hateful killing of nine black churchgoers at Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston, South Carolina, has left a lingering wound on the American consciousness, as the country attempts to sort through what the heinous act means for race relations in the U.S. and what needs to happen to address the culture of hate that creates these kinds of killers.

The killer, 21-year-old white supremacist Dylann Roof, directly stated that he was at the church’s Wednesday night prayer meeting to kill black people because “you rape our women, you’re taking over our country.” The aftermath has been filled with discussions about racism and white supremacy in America, and certain aspects of white Southern culture have drawn criticism. Specifically, the fact that the South Carolina state capitol flies a Confederate battle flag—long considered an emblem of racism because of the Confederacy’s desire to maintain chattel slavery in the United States—became a point of contention. Politicians and pundits from around the country have all weighed in, with many voicing opposition to any official state usage of the flag. Hip-hop artists have been vocal in discussing Charleston and its aftermath, but some have been taken to task for their own use of the Confederate flag in their art. Pop artists using offensive symbolism isn’t anything new. In the mid-’70s, British punks like Sid Vicious and Siouxsie Sioux began wearing swastikas in what they believed was an affront to British elders who’d fought Germany and would chide rebellious youth with, “I fought the war for your sort.”

Nirvana’s 1993 video for “Heart-Shaped Box” featured a young white girl in KKK garb, innocently reaching for a fetus in a tree. Whether or not you were offended by those artists depends solely on point of view, but rappers are supposed to push similar buttons. And they oftentimes do. In 2000, OutKast’s Andre 3000 wore a Confederate flag emblem on his belt buckle in the video for their hit single “Ms. Jackson.” Crunk rapper Pastor Troy had the flag prominently featured in his “This Tha City” video that same year. Lil Jon & the Eastside Boyz’s Put Yo Hood Up album cover—in addition to the somewhat tongue-in-cheek title—featured the rapper draped in a Confederate flag with two more burning flags draped in the background. In 2005, Atlanta hip-hop star Ludacris performed his hit “Georgia” at the VIBE Awards wearing a Confederate flag outfit. At the end of the performance, he tore off his outfit to reveal an Afrocentric red, black, and green version underneath, and then stomped on the Confederate suit.

He subsequently issued a statement explaining what the performance was supposed to mean.“The discussions that have been sparked after my performance of ‘Georgia’ at the 2005 VIBE Awards is my exact reason for wearing a depiction of the Confederate Flag,” he wrote. “This flag represents the oppression that we as African-Americans have endured for years; this is a symbol of segregation and the racism that reigned not only throughout the South but throughout the entire United States. I wore it to represent where we came from, to remind people that Ray Charles’ original ‘Georgia’ was written because of that racism. At the end of the performance, I removed and stomped on the flag to reveal my version of the flag; a flag comprised of black, red, and green. Those are the colors of Africa. It is a representation and my interpretation of where we were and where we need to go. Racism is just as prevalent now and if we are not constantly mindful of our history and take charge of it, history is destined to repeat itself because of ignorance.

In order to move forward, we must never forget where we were. I hope people continue to question and challenge authority, media and themselves because questioning and challenging can only lead to enlightenment.” In 2013, Kanye West was photographed wearing a jacket with the Confederate flag emblem and later sold Confederate flag-covered merchandise during his Yeezus tour. He explained his intentions to 97.1 AMP in Los Angeles:“React how you want,” West said at the time. “Any energy is good energy. The Confederate flag represented slavery in a way. That’s my abstract take on what I know about it, right? So I wrote the song ‘New Slaves.’ So I took the Confederate flag and made it my flag. It’s my flag now. Now what are you going to do?”Subversive art is absolutely necessary to challenging preconceived notions and ideas. Subversive art is why black rappers saying “Nigga” will never mean the same thing as a white person saying it. The context doesn’t just matter—it’s the entire point.

But in understanding how the repurposing of a hateful symbol can be empowering for those who have been oppressed by it, it’s important to recognize also that the repurposing is never wholesale. You can never change the entire meaning of what that flag represents to the point that it’s fully neutered. Lynyrd Skynyrd flying a Confederate flag at their shows wasn’t intended to convey the same meaning as Lil Jon wearing it on an album cover—nor should it be interpreted that way. And most important is understanding that rappers reappropriating that flag won’t ever mean the same thing as it flying over a state capitol or courthouse; just as a white person saying the N-word can’t ever have the same kind of undermining, neutralizing effect it has when a black person uses it as a term of endearment. It is impossible for the establishment to be anti-establishment. The point is to turn a tool of the establishment’s oppression into a tool to subversively challenge that establishment, and in America, the establishment is whiteness.

And you can’t Rachel Dolezal your way into the oppressed group’s cultural spaces—even when it comes to verbiage and symbolism. But you can respect the right to be subversive.And as fans and critics, we also have to be honest about the fact that not every black person that flies that flag is attempting to subvert the flag’s meaning. There have been black people vocally defending the flag—which is their right. The current conversation about the flag involves state usage and endorsement—private businesses like Walmart have pulled sales of their own volition—they weren’t “banned” in any way, shape or form. If an individual wants to fly the flag in their yard or wear it on their T-shirt or on their car, that’s their right. Whatever stigma comes with that is theirs to bear, as well. But black taxpayers and voters shouldn’t have to walk past that symbol of their oppression—and those who fought to continue it—every time they walk into a school or government office. And if rappers want to use the flag, that’s also their right as artists.
