The period of isolation for Natalia Gulkina has become a real challenge. Apart from the fact that unemployment almost left her without a livelihood, to the home of singer trouble came: favorite pet sick fatal form of coronavirus. About how it took almost two months of quarantine, and that she had to endure during this time, Natalia said WomanHit.ru.
the – Withdrawal lasts two months, and I have to ask, how did you do that? There was time for something new?
– I got more free time. I have the feeling that it was even less. Because when you go on tour and concerts, you have some kind of self-fulfillment and self-satisfaction, and in this situation you have neither one nor the other. So you have implemented at home. This is the General disassembly of the cabinets, moving furniture, changing curtains, an analysis accessories: something is removed and something — on the contrary, from the shelves gets. The apartment is changing. Transplanted all the flowers and hung from the ceiling, because I have cats who bite them. So they do not get it, I did as I have long wanted, but never got to it. Disassembled the kit. Threw a bunch of drugs expired. Before on different cabinets and packages were scattered pills, so when we had to find something, it was not easy to do. And then I put one above the other transparent sliding cabinets and each signed a indelible marker which where medicines: stomach or headaches, from pressure and so on. The daughter is overjoyed. She comes up, opens the closet and says, “Mom, you just Lifehacker! Now so convenient — don’t need you to pull where to get this or that. Open the wardrobe — and all in front of the nose.” Women’s jewelry hung, made of self-adhesive hooks on the inner wall of the Cabinet. Hang all sorts of beads, chains — also very convenient. All and does not break, is not lost. He opened the closet — and it’s all there. Anyway, I’ve remade so many things!
the – And if the artistic experiments of that period, what we please?
– I came up with this story: during one and a half months off the window the same picture. It was not leaves, then she began to appear. Now I want to make a cartoon or a movie where you show how the picture changes, as all dissolved. Yes, doing this kind of story: few people that might — just me, a creative person. (Laughs.)
In addition, I disassembled the balcony. Since I have eight cats, I us��roil them there is a rookery — room separate. Now they watch out for birds, and I for them. From time to time I shoot them on video and photos is, of course, lovely.
the – by the Way, how are all your animals now. Heard you had a real emergency: the cat was sick with coronavirus…
Feline coronavirus has been around for many years — twenty or thirty. It is completely irrelevant to the virus of human, and especially to what is now came to the planet. Cat virus had never been transmitted to owners. There are even reports that the owners who have a cat at home sick with the infection, as would already have antibodies. Basically, I am less likely to be infected with the coronavirus. As it is, I don’t know, but I would like to believe. In cats, the disease is the same as in humans: may be in the form of light, can give complications to the kidneys, the lungs, somewhere else. And five percent of this cat virus mutates into FIP, a viral peritonitis. It’s always been a deadly disease for cats. The virus can be treated, and peritonitis — no, the animal always dies very quickly. He begins to fill the abdominal cavity with liquid, it swells up like a balloon, the stomach stretches on the ground, the spine flexes. The cat stops itself to wash, the hair is dirty, greasy, spines sticking out, eyes not open, he lies, refuses to go to the toilet and eventually dies. And we suddenly noticed that our favorite, most adorable and expensive cat Mason, young — he was only three years old, was acting strange. We in arms — and went to do an ultrasound. I immediately said that it’s likely HLF. I don’t even understand at first what it was. And when he came home, my daughter Yana googled the information and said that the cat was likely to die. She became hysterical, she began to cry, because we 2 months ago has already lost one kitten: we just put the wrong diagnosis. Apparently, this kitty and infected. The daughter said that the second loss will not survive, especially her beloved cat.
the – And how do you work on?
– I freaked out and decided that I would treat him. You know, I couldn’t send the cat to death, and the more it concerned the psychological state of my daughter. I was already sorry. I spent all night trolling the Internet, find out is there no escape? And I came across one of the groups in social networks, where it was written that found an experimental drug from HLF and that are willing to help me. And just six months ago, the cats do not survive, and now the Americans invented the drug, but not become them to do, so he sold out to the Chinese. And I directly, without intermediaries sent to Hong Kong a certain amount of money, and then get the medicine in Moscow.
the – you had at least some guarantee that this p��can?
– The warranty they gave, only if we are with them monitoring the cat, send them all post screenshots of blood, that pass every 4 weeks, ultrasound make. My daughter corresponded with them in English. And treatment of a cat lasts for three months — just as, for example, people with serious illnesses. Even if the cat seems to have stabilized, it is necessary to undergo to the end. It’s like antibiotics: you feel better, but you still have to finish the course, otherwise the next time it just won’t work. On the second or third week of injections, the cat was completely different — he was back to life. These injections of steel for him to change, he had another look, and he looked through us, literally covered with muddy eyes. We saw that he already understands, responds to name, plays with all. And the other cats knew that he was sick. He was lying, he was not touched. And now they are worn all together. We went for an ultrasound, they took blood, and told us that he’s completely healthy. But the month we still have to give him medication.
the – it Turns out that you had to learn the profession of a nurse and injections?
– Yes, we gave him shots, they were wildly painful. I roared, making the shot, I just sobbed, knowing what was pain to the cat. There is a very thick transparent mixture, which I slowly pressed. Besides, we had very well to do this shot. For example, once, when the medication gets on the skin, his skin just burned. During the injections, he started to scream and squirm! And when I put it on the ground, was almost like a horror movie, when they show how a person turns into a monster. It just started to break, he looked at me, screamed in pain, and I sat and sobbed. I called the doctor, told can’t do injections, I’ll go crazy. But I said, “Natasha, you go for it only in order to save him. In the name of life!” And here I am, pushing themselves, gave him the shot at the same time. Then there’s the option to switch to capsules to put in his mouth, three pieces a day. He happily lay them at first we couldn’t get into it and each capsule for 8 thousand rubles were on the floor. But now this process takes a few seconds. Before we were put in a special bag, because he scratched, and now I just take on hands: three seconds — and he didn’t understand how they swallowed. And I so good and easy, it cannot even be compared with what it was.
the Natalia, you are a true heroine! Many did not survive, not to mention the fact that, probably, money the treatment costs a lot…
– I got into debt! Unfortunately, this whole situation coincided with the beginning of the pandemic, when there was no work. Would work, I would quietly gaining this amount, and it so happened that we had not prepared withyou bag, everything just suddenly happened. I just paid genalogy for the car and apartment. The machine I have is good, and a lot has to give, and I haven’t paid for a long time. In General, only I did it like two days later sick cat. I thought to myself, why pay? Would be better if my money was at home, and I would have lived. Well, what happened, happened. So my daughter in Instagram wrote about our problem with the cat, and I census. And people are even from America threw money at the expense. Some guy made us transfers two times for $ 200. In General, so we went to meet him, that we are for the first two weeks collected 80 thousand rubles. But it was worth it the treatment of 300 thousand per month. A course of three months — one million, because the cat need to carry on surveys to pay the doctor for the call. But now, due to the fact that capsules are cheaper, we are now 250 thousand save. They are much cheaper than injections. And now we have already passed the stage when the cat died, through the pain, tears and fear. That’s the story. When I look at him, say, “Well, you have me the most expensive cat in the world! Try not to get sick! To the river going? About to drown — don’t come home!” (Laughs.)
the – do you not afraid of Contracting human coronavirus?
– I, like everyone, had some time together, I read a terrible article that each other forward. But I realized that to drive your brain into some strange frames, and decided, like, well, him! Unsubscribed from all of these groups have almost ceased to turn on the TV, watch mainly entertainment. I glue pictures of rhinestones. Now got a wall clock in the form of the sun, which I bought a long time ago, they have me lying in a box. Begin to lay them on top of the holographic crystals from Natalia Gulkin, exclusive work. And if I need money, I just put them on sale to save my cat.
the – And as you now earn, because of the concerts there?
– Available online very many concerts, but for them not to particularly pay, so I don’t really go for it. But there is a proposal to write greeting cards. For example, the wife decided to make a gift to her husband, include Skype, and there Natalia gulkin, his favorite singer, happy birthday. Can’t say that very many suggestions, but for me there is always the option of a vocal online lessons and recitals. I’m often at my concerts earlier requested to write me questions in the notes, answered, humor, people just love it, it’s live communication. And when I feel it is necessary, I promptly will. But do not consider it necessary, what is more, the negotiations about the future of work in September.
