Help

My 2 1/2 has ear plugs in both ears. Took her to the doctor for a check up and found out she’s got serious ear plugs. He tried to flush her ears and said the plug was too hard and there was nothing else he could do.
She’s not a fan of me cleaning out her ears unless in the tub with a washcloth, and that doesn’t go nearly deep enough to get this out.
Any advice? I’ve tried drops for 7 days, with no luck. I’m sure this is bothering her and I want them out. I’m assuming they’ve been there awhile since they are so hard.

Coyote attacks on my stray boys

Does anyone know a repellant for coyotes? Is that even a thing?!?!? I live in a subdivision, we’ve never had an issue with coyotes until this year when some new construction has torn town parts of the woods. I feed about 10 cats daily. The same ones come every morning and night.

I just lost my feral boy due to a coyote attack last week.
Two more strays just came to eat and one has an attack on his head and the other on his leg. I cleaned them both up and they left. They’re very swollen and have puss. But it’s cleaned and sterile and wrapped/covered to avoid maggots.
But looking at pictures, the injuries 100% match the bite pattern coyotes leave.
They’re going to get my cats and these aren’t the type of cats that will be comfortable in a home. I would 100% have them inside if I could.
All of the shelters are full around me and most of these cats I can’t get close to. Just close enough to show them their bowl then they eat and run.

I don’t want anything happening to these sweet boys. Do you guys have any advice?!??? I’m desperate to save and protect my pack.

Here is a photo of my sweet feral boy I just lost the other day. I gave him a burial site as well, he deserves it.

Anxiety look

I’ve had anxiety since elementary school. My first panic attack was in 3rd grade. I remember, it was 9pm and I was watching American idol with my mom. And out of nowhere my cheeks and tongue started tingling and my mouth felt numb. Got taken to the hospital and was diagnosed with anxiety. As I got older it got worse, I now have panic disorder, ocd, and anxiety. And for about 20 years (no joke) I would anticipate 9pm because that’s when my first panic attack came and in my brain it was planted that at 9pm I’d get one every day. Which ultimately led to them coming because of my constant state of worry.
Anyway, today I haven’t had much anxiety, but all day my brain has caused anxiety because I’m waiting on the anxiety to come.
And at nighttime it starts to get worse and I worry about having anxiety, which is what makes the anxiety come? Why does this happen. I would trade a finger to never have anxiety again. 😭😭😭

Does this happen to anyone else??

EDIT - I meant “anxiety loop” not look. Idk how to change it
