I always cringed for my diabetic cat clients when I told them their total for a bottle, needles and food. I can't believe how much more cat insulin is than for people/dogs. Very sorry to hear that for your kitteh and your wallet. 🙁 Maybe on your job hunt, you should inquire as to free treatment/food for your animules...
sorry tt. good news is that the classroom stuff is almost over.
You guys get a whole week? We get a day :/
we get nothing
Touche 😛
actually, thinking about this a little more, we get a 4 day weekend at Easter because Friday and Monday are VERY big religious holidays here (they wouldnt have anyone to staff the school otherwise haha) but practically everything on the island is closed those days. we don't get any time off in the fall though
why would it be evil to wish for something easily fixable?! do the best that you can with your pet - not starving is preferential to starving. it might be "better" to feed a certain way, but if she says no, then reality is that it's better to feed her however she will eat. continue to love her and just deal with the bumps in the road as they come. its not easy, but it's all we can ask for because ultimately we want what's best for her, and she will certainly let you know her stance 🙂 <3
I know how you feel 🙁. A month or so after I brought my bird home she started having an increase in what had been intermittent breathing problems that we were never able to diagnose when she lived in the hospital and I would totally freak out when she would have episodes. She'd get really agitated and open mouth breath with a highly increased respiratory rate and I would panic. She also did a lot of wheezy exhaling (still does) and intermittent episodes of frequent yawning. But we never found anything obvious on her chest or skull rads and chalked it up to being secondary to her disability. She's not so bad these days but still has episodes and I still sometimes panic a little bit. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you get a quick & easy diagnosis
(and a treatable one!)
This is my coping mechanism. Eat myself into a minor food-induced coma.
You should go talk to the Grad advisor at your school. I don't know what your whole situation is but at my University they give A LOT of leeway about deadlines and are always interested in getting new grad students.Don't mean to derail the conversation, but I need to rant on the rant thread. I am so irritated right now. I was not accepted to vet school, so I decided to go get a master's degree, but all of the application deadlines for fall admission for the degree programs I was looking at were back in January or early February! I am so irritated at myself for not looking at that earlier, but all I could think of was my admissions decisions for vet school! So now, I have to wait until the end of the year if I want to apply for a master's degree, but by then I'll have already re-submitted my application for vet school. So I'm feeling very stuck, and I don't know what to do, and it's a terrible feeling. I just want to feel like I'm making progress.
🙁
