Will Human Eye Drops Work on Cats?

Writing this here because there seem to be many people who are bringing in the u201cconsult your vetu201d bullcrap. So from personal experience here you go.My cat had pink eye for 5 days, the Google provided popular remedy of apple cider vinegar didn't work.

I thought that's it and went with the next popular opinion of buying anti biotic eye drops for cats. But the pharmacy which had a clinic right next door was quick to refuse to sell me the drops telling me to bring in the cat. Now I have no extreme poverty or shit that stops me from affording to pay vet bills, but my cat is extremely unfriendly and doesn't even get out of the house.

It would scratch me to death even if I carry it 2 steps outside the entrance of the house, taking her to the vet was impossible. I was desperate and my love was obviously having a bad time with the pink eye. I decided to take the risk.

My mom had a Patanol (Olopatadine hydrochloride ophthalmic solution) 0.1% for her irritable eye. I did some research and saw some people suggest against it (the usual see vet first bs.

) I used it on the 6th day once a day for 3 days. By the 9th day, the eye was clear and my cat was fine again.So yes, so far so good and I suggest you use it if you're out of options with a home cat.

How different are the Czech and Slovak languages?

I, a Czech, understand Slovak nearly perfectly (more than 99%), although I cant speak it without sounding silly. The greatest reason, though, why I understand it so well, is that I grew up in Czechoslovakia, when I heard Slovak on TV and radio every day nearly as much as Czech.

Some would liken the similarity between Czech and Slovak to the closeness of Swedish and Norwegian. That may be. But the power of exposure is often underrated: Everyone in Sweden understands English perfectly (including bus drivers and garbage collectors) for the same reason why I understand Slovak - heavy exposure (TV) to the language during childhood.

So even though Swedish and Norwegian are definitely more similar to each other than either is to English, a typical Swede will have to concentrate to understand someone speaking Bokml, but will understand English much more easily and readily.My favorite sentence in Slovak is: Ako v tej rozprvke, kedy ava, bocian, korytnaka a ubrienka mali olovrant na cintorne. Which goes in Czech like this: Jako v t pohdce, kdy velbloud, p, elva a pulec mli svainu na hbitov.

(English: Like in that fairytale, when a camel, a stork, a turtle, and a tadpole had a snack in the cemetery.As you can see, most words are completely different in that example. On the other hand, you can, with some effort, construct a sentence that will be nearly indentical in both languages.

In normal, everyday use, pretty much every word will be slightly different, with some words being very different, but still intelligible, because of exposure

I am 14 years old. Am I too young to learn C?

You are never too young to learn a programming language.

I would suggest staying away from pure C, as you can actually do some hardware damage with it if you dont know exactly what you are doing. C is the same story, but its a little safer to mess with, and you have to get pretty deep into it before you learn the stuff that can do damage. When in doubt, get a super cheap refurb computer off ebay and use that as a testbed so you dont brick your main rig.

The question of it being a waste of time or not at this moment, and for the next 515 years, i cant see anything completely replacing C or any of the C family languages. But there are new technologies on the distant horizon that will completely change the way programmers work and the languages they use, such as quantum computers. But the basics, or the way you think about problems to solve them with programming will be the same, so in the long run, its never a waste of time.

will it be good for you? C/C is the backbone of most modern computing. Learning C will open many other languages to you, as they are structured the same with similar syntax.

Java, javascript, C#, Perl, Python, Objective C, etc etc, all share the same basic look and feel. each have their idiosyncrasies and special needs, but knowing the basis will make learning any of those take weeks instead of months

My boyfriend's friends are awful to me and he doesn't say anything to them. What should I do?

First of all youll have to stand up for yourself if you havent already. Then you tell your boyfriend that partners stand up for each other.Going from here it is important to determine if hes doing it because he just doesnt care (if this is the case you should consider leaving), or he doesnt realize why he should defend you.

If he doesnt realize why he should protect you and doesnt want to get involved, or if hes just too much of a pussy to confront his friends you would probably have to think about what other qualities he has. If he has more redeeming qualities but this is the only thing he doesnt have you shouldnt just dump him.In this day and age strength isnt the number one quality to consider when choosing a partner.

Online you are going to get a lot of answers of guys telling you to dump the guy youre with because they all think they can do a better job, but in reality being in a relationship isnt easy, and in this case your boyfriend could be dealing with the problem where he has to either prioritize you or prioritize his friends which isnt an easy problem.You could maybe make him see that his friends arent respecting him when they are bad to you. If friends respect each other they are nice to their girlfriends.

How can you fix the error message char(*) 128 is incompatible with parameter of type char*?

I don't know if Quora is the right place for these kind of questions. I would recommend other Q&A sites like Stack Overflow for these issues.

Also, the questions is quite vague, it is difficult to give a right answer since there are not enough details about the context in which the error comes up. However, it seems that you are passing a parameter of the wrong type to a function.Let's assume you have a variable named a of the type char*128nYou have probably declared it in this fashion:char* a128;Realize this is an array of char* (an array of pointers), not an array of characters (used to represent strings in C)n nSo, if you have a function in the form:nvoid function(char* parameter);You can't pass it the parameter a, because a is an array of char* ( a set of pointers) and the function expects only one char* (just one pointer)It seems like you're having a beginner's problem: the confusion between an array char* to be used as character strings.

nMaybe you're trying to use this hypothetical variable a to represent a string of 128 characters maximum. Is that the case? If it is, you have to declare it like this:char a 128;That would solve the problem.

nWhenever you use codea/code (just the name of the variable) it represents a pointer pointing to the first element of the array a. And, since it is a pointer pointing to a char it sill be a char*, and thus, the function shall accept it. Hope I helped.

nLet me know any comments.

We live in Trabzon. Our grandparents can speak Pontic Greek.

Are we of Greek origin?

There are many elements to ethnic heritage and language is one of them, other elements being ancestry and religion.It is a historical fact that once upon a time, there was a Greek-speaking and Christian Empire of Trebizond, which was conquered by the Ottoman Empire in 1461.

It is also a historical fact that Anatolian Christians were part of the population exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1923. Demographics of Anatolia in 1914 - please note that the distinction is religious, not linguisticSince you and your grandparents are still there, its safe to assume that your ancestors converted to Islam at some point between 1461 and 1923. Of course, some of your ancestors might have originated outside of the Trabzon area, which could make things even murkier.

But how about language, I hear you ask? Language wasnt at the time a factor in determining ones ethnic allegiance. For example, the Greek-speaking Muslim Cretans were expelled to Turkey while the Turkish-speaking Christian Karamanlides were sent to Greece.

Unlike religion, however, language didnt affect peoples status as much, at least until after 1923, when the modern Turkish state pushed its Turkification policies. Before that, people would speak their communitys language regardless of religion. Also, again unlike religion, its perfectly possible to be bilingual or multilingual.

So based on the above, it seems quite likely that your family has some ethnic Greek heritage and even more likely that they recently (pre-1923) used to live in close proximity to a predominantly Greek-speaking community
