Yes, that would not be good news.

I wonder if that’s why you lost so much weight. Sepsis is bacteria in your bloodstream, and I can see pumping sugars into someone’s bloodstream when it has bacteria present as being a bad idea. 2 weeks to eliminate the infection sounds like a long time though, unless they ran into issues with unexpected antibiotic resistance.

Yikes, didn’t know gallstones could do that. Glad you made it, sepsis is life threatening.

What were you in for? Sounds to me like someone was pinching pennies on you, since there’s nothing stopping them from including the sugars and aminos your body needs.

Or maybe they thought you were overweight or something, but I’d think that’d be malpractice.

We live in a day where a healthy diet can be fully synthesized, even for a human. I think the claim that a cat cannot flourish under one requires strict scrutiny and proper links to scientific articles demonstrating this finding.

edit: Because we do have evidence indicating such a diet is not harmful, so evidence that disputes this would need to exist.

edit2: Another thing that occured to me that may help shed light on this: Humans have to eat food in order to survive, yes?

No, actually. We can hook you up to an IV and keep you alive for as long as we need by pumping the necessary nutrients directly into your bloodstream, bypassing your digestive tract altogether. We call this intravenous feeding.

I think @[email protected] owes an explanation and apology. It’s fine to be invested in animal welfare, but if one learns that one is factually incorrect, then admitting it openly is the mature and responsible thing to do.

That’d work I suppose.

Making a community and expecting everyone else to do the work for you isn’t how these things usually work, after the first few months of the service anyway. You gotta have the people that want to make the content first, which usually means you need to do the initial posting yourself to get the ball rolling.

This is why we get so many created communities with a handful of subscribers and no posts. It’s not the idea that makes a community, it’s the posters. The content creators.

Internet communities generally need to be led from the front, not from the rear. It’d be like starting a new business but not wanting to do any of the tasks yourself.
