Veterinary School Application Advising Ad
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
NStarz, I'm sorry but I'm LMAO :laugh: I got my cat about 5 weeks into my first year of grad school. Went down to the shelter and adopted an older kitten thinking great she's got her shots, been dewormed, and been spayed. Score! Two weeks later I was eating nothing but condensed soup so I could afford the vet bills. My 'free' cat has cost me in excess of $20,000 over her lifetime. But as the random thread shows, I love her to death even if my one friend from grad school still calls her 'stinky'. 😛

I had great success with Prozyme for quite a few years. Then I went to EN moist which they went and d/c'ed. That sucked, but the Royal Canin Special 33 worked like a dream for quite some time. Then she developed hyperthyroidism and began vomiting from the tapazole; so we had to change her treatment. But those three things got us through quite a few years. :luck::luck::luck:
 
Urgh.

So someone who is supposed to be a good friend of mine came back to visit her hometown... and did not tell anyone. I have not seen her since December. This is the THIRD time she has come home and has not told anyone. It hurts a little bit.

She didn't even tell her other best friend (slutty girl I posted about whom I hate). But pics of the two of them showed up on Instagram. I cannot help but feel a little hurt and jealous. I am sick and tired of putting effort into friendships and they do not have the courtesy to do the same.

The ex-friend who bullied me, embarrassed me, and tried to get me to live her lifestyle just won't f--- off. I have her deleted from Facebook. Not Instagram because her pics do not bother me all that much. But she knows so many people that I know. So pics of her surface hanging out with Friend A, she gossips about me to Friend B, she does sexy photoshoots with a friend of my boyfriend's, my mom is good friends with her grandmother... I do not want to hear about her. I do not want to see her. I do not want to hear what other people think about her because it makes me think of how she treated me. The only time I would like to hear about her is if she get what is coming to her. The guy she cheated on used to stand up for others when her comments crossed the line. I wish he was still around 'cause we might still be friends.

Apparently she likes picking at me because she likes to get a rise out of me. It's one thing to tease someone ("Haha, your shoes look silly."). It's another to make a cruel comment ("All of your shoes suck. Remember the time you showed up to my apartment with those hideous sandals and grandmother heals for prom night at the bar?") IN FRONT OF PEOPLE and then KEEP GOING WITH IT. I must hide it pretty well at the time. Nobody realizes it has upset me that much until I mention it hours-months later.

I am debating whether to see a doctor. All of these meaningless problems that has surfaced lately has caused me so much stress and anxiety and it shouldn't.
 
I feel like I have been kicked in the kidneys, my head is pounding and all of my joints are sore.. I feel like crap, but :xf: that this lasts until early next week so I can get some answers as to what the hell is going on.

The only time I will say yay for someone not feeling well: YAY! Hope you can figure this out!
 
Grandma just passed :cry:
Glad the suffering is over. Lets see how studying goes for my midterm Monday :uhno:
 
Aww Emiloo.
I've been keeping you in my thoughts all week. I am so sorry to hear about what you've been going through. I wish you the strength to get through this.

Em, I'm sorry too. Maybe you can get some peace from knowing she can rest, be with your granddad and root for you from where she is now. You can do this....I have faith in you

LMMS, she's about 4 months old. Hotfilly, I believe we already did a fecal pathogen profile. I'm not entirely sure. I know he was running her stool for parasites not typically seen on fecal floats (giardia, crypto, I know were included...not sure of the specific tests done, though).

I haven't tried a novel protein source yet, but that's my next step, I think. The Hill's, Purina, Evo, and I/D she's been on have all been chicken based. Though it doesn't really make sense to me that it would get better and then get worse again if it was a food allergy. I just know that I've been to the vet almost 5 times since I've had her and spent >$500, whereas my roommate's kitten was spayed on a kitchen table and has not even been to the vet yet (no problems and fully vaccinated). How did I get the short end of the stick? GRRRRR...Good thing she's so stinkin' cute.

Excellent! Perhaps a repeat is needed?!? I agree with you about the food allergy issue too. She seems awful young but not unheard of. I guess the tritrich test is next then? Do you have access to VIN? While I don't have personal experience with a kitteh like LMMS does, I do have a friend that is currently experiencing it with a foster. So I have been trying to help her after talking to my doc and reading on VIN.

She came to you because she knows a good thing! Good luck with her!😀
 
So very sorry, Em. However, as you said, at least her suffering has ended. I will continue to keep you and yours in my thoughts and hope that you are all able to find peace in the coming weeks.
 
I'm so sorry, Emiloo. I'm sure your grandma knew how special she was to you and your family. My heart goes out to you all.
 
Thank you everyone. I feel like I have been grieving her death for a few days now, knowing and waiting for her to go. Sort of relieved it finally happened. She was in so much misery the past week with her kidneys and liver completely shut down. I'm sure my poor grandpa is wishing he had a few more days without her before she gets up there and bosses him around some more 🙄 :laugh:.
I appreciate all of your support over the last week more than you'll know. And thank you to those of you who reached out to me in PMs and texts. You made someone you've never even met feel very supported and I can't thank you enough. All that's left now is to focus 🙄 on my 3 exams this week and two the next week and blah blah blah. Hoping to make it to Christmas break and be able to have a mental breakdown :laugh:. Until then... compartmentalize and push through! 😎

:biglove:

Wow, I'm so sorry Emiloo 🙁 I know I haven't said anything on here, but you and your family have been in my thoughts lately.
 
Whoever said bad situations come in 3's has never met my family…apparently for us in comes in 12's.
The latest is that this morning my 22 yr old niece (who is more like a sister to me) was brought in to ICU with sepsis, which we found out she got because she's back on heroin after being clean for 2 years. The doctors say that after the first 48 hours they'll know if she will live or not. I'm trying to do homework but find myself checking my phone every couple of minutes hoping for an update.

That's terrible, I'm so sorry 🙁
I will send my thoughts your way and hope she pulls through :xf:
 
Just found out the entire equine ICU team (paid positions for 2nd year students) is done working... They decided that with more students being in clinics, they can just have them do the work and not pay us, which is fine from that perspective, but I really like my job and I like meeting upperclassmen who know more than me about things I should do while in school. Also, I'm one of the co-captains and this came to me without warning, meaning I found out along with everyone else, which is not how I feel it should have gone considering we took to the time to schedule all the holidays until the 4th of July already... At least I got paid a little extra for that?

Sounds like another consequence of expanding class sizes. Is that what is happening there? It seems like you have a good attitude about the situation and have found a silver-lining in the extra pay.
 
The class size increased a couple of years ago from like 80 to 120 or something like that. So they were used to having two sets of students to deal with, but the class that just graduated was the last of the smaller class size, so now they are going to have a few more people on each rotation. I just realized I didn't explain it very well in the first post about it.

Edit: I can't say I'm too surprised or upset, because I only worked once every few weeks besides answering emails and such. I just really like this job and it was my first paid clinical experience :-(
 
Yeah I think that's right. Classes are now about 50/50.
 
My poor dog just started scratching like crazy this past week and now he has patches of thin hair and scabs all over him 🙁. This is my dog that people constantly tell me has the most beautiful coat they've ever seen. I feel so bad for him. He scratched so hard on his side that he tore his side open 🙄
And I have so.much.time to bring him to the vet. Not like skin is ever an easy fix anyway :uhno:

My dog had allergies really bad, I always felt so bad for him. Hopefully they can find something that will make him feel better quickly..
 
I've had this weird metallic taste in my front lower teeth all afternoon. It won't go away.
At least I was already going to call to make a dentist appointment tomorrow.

And it's raining again in Baltimore. Not that I can stand these TBS announcers at all.
 
Going to rant about my problem puppy again. I just picked up Samson from surgery because he had to have a wound debridement. He's been on antibiotics for the last three days and isn't trusting any food that's given to him on the off chance it has pills in it. This means he didn't eat the pain pills until I got there and shoved them down his throat. Now I'm dealing with a crying 130 lb mastiff whose wound is weeping a little blood. I've been calling him Captain Miserable and really hope those meds kick in soon.
 
Dear stupid, petty drama and drama queens,

Suck it. You are making my life miserable.

Sincerely,
SnS

My boyfriend's cousin just called to ask what he should do if the neighbor's dog got into rat poison.
UUhhhhhh.... take her to the ER like 5 minutes ago!!! 😱
"But I'm not sure if she got into it or not and I don't want to take her to the vet and have them rip me off 🙄😡"
UUhhhhhh.... take her to the ER like 5 minutes ago!!!

Poooooop! I've gone on some dates with this guy and I like him. I mean, it's not like I want to have his babies. But sprinting across the room to see if the text I just got was from him? No no no!

I think I need to end it. Sigh.

Because you like him? That seems a little opposite of what I would think unless you were just using him for benefits?

Yes. Because I'm leaving and I don't want to get attached. And, I worry about all that due to the baggage I carry. And added complication, he has a daughter, which, if my situation was more stable wouldn't phase me. But.....
 
So I'm almost 22, have a life of my own, am relatively independent - yet my mother still digs through my room. Just cause I am under your roof doesn't mean I'm not entitled to any privacy. I hate it.

Uh yea, it's getting to the point where I can't wait to graduate and move out. I came home today and it was clear that my underwear drawer had been dug through and that's where I had temporarily placed my birth control. My mother is ABSOLUTELY against birth control so now I am pretty certain she knows I am on it. But I have yet to get a talk. We'll see what happens. =/

I lived with my parents this summer (well, for half. I spent a lot of nights at my boyfriend's), and it seriously made me ill. My heartburn was insane and I had to start taking Rx PPI's. Now that I am back in my own place and 600 miles away, I don't have any heartburn anymore and am nowhere near as stressed as I was living in that house...
 
While recovering from knee surgery, I need to keep my leg wrapped ankle-to-thigh in an ace bandage and giant brace. I'm not allowed to remove the bandage until the sutures come out, and my whole leg ITCHES. Also, this means I won't be able to shave that leg for 13 days. This will probably just make my leg itchier.

Edit: this isn't a very serious rant, I'm just annoyed at the prospect of being itchy for 13 days, and not being able to walk for another 6 weeks.

Okay...Ima butt in as a mom. First, it is wrong that she is invading the space of her 22 YO! For god's sake, if she has any "concerns", she should sit down and talk to you, not snoop. Secondly, YAY for you for being responsible and taking birth control into your own hands! She should be proud of you for that (regardless of her own beliefs)! At 22, you don't need the additional stress/responsibility of a child. I say good for you! If she doesn't want to have a "talk" then YOU should take the initiative. Just keep it calm and have everything you want to discuss ready. Respect is a two way street. 🙂

What kind of knee surgery did you have? I have had, well.....a few myself 🙄

The not shaving part can be kinda nice. Plastic rulers are good for itching:laugh:

Ditto.

Best scratching tool - BBQ skewer with gauze/tape over the pointy end. Gets a good scratch going, nice and long, and it wont break and leave you with bits of plastic or pencil floating around inside a cast :laugh:
 
Yep, I was in an out of a leg casts on both legs for 3 years and my best friend was a ruler 👍. Although I have to say, once you start scratching, you really just can't stop, so just prepare for your leg to be scratched to pieces as well. Your leg WILL get hairy lol, and my muscles atrophied so badly I had little chicken legs. :laugh:

When I broke my arm, I definitely wore long sleeves for the first few weeks after my cast came off as much as possible because my arm kind of grossed me out. The decreased muscle in my one hand still weirds me out when I look at out too closely.
