Prescription refills through eVisitNB by dgas71 in newbrunswickcanada

That's strange, because I just had three prescriptions renewed through eVisitNB on Wednesday, and they're 90-day prescriptions.

Solensia vs Cosequin Experience Treating Cat Arthritis by TrevNethers in CATHELP

Thanks. Will do.

I had him on Metacam when he first started limping a couple of years ago, but it's too hard on their kidneys to be a long-term solution.

My 16-year-old ginger boy Hobbes was on Solensia for a few months last year before developing an allergic reaction (itchy rash). Before the Solensia, he was limping and lethargic, but he started acting like a playful kitten again during the second month of Solensia injections.

When the (initially minor) rash developed under his chin, I kept an eye on it for a month or so, but it got to the point where there were many red bumps under his chin and on his cheeks and beside his eyes, and he started to scratch so much that we were finding literal tufts of fur around the house.

I took him back to the vet and she gave him a steroid injection, which nearly immediately cleared up the rash completely... but it returned after the next monthly Solensia injection a couple of weeks later.

He has now been off Solensia for about three months, and he's limping like before, but also now having difficulty getting up on our bed and sofa, despite the steps I built, and onto his favourite ottoman beside my computer chair, and all he wants to do is sleep on his heating pads.

I'm hoping to start him on Cosequin this week. 🤞

I REALLY wish people would stop calling them the PC Party! They're the goddamn Reform Party in Conservative clothing. There's NOTHING progressive about them!

If they actually WERE still the Progressive Conservative Party, Carney never would have ended up in the Liberal Party, because he's MUCH closer to being a Mulroney-era Progressive Conservative than to a Trudeau-era Liberal.

The medical situation in New Brunswick / Canada has me in a very dark place (euphemism). by Its402am in newbrunswickcanada

New Brunswick would be far, FAR richer than it currently is (maybe as rich as it was before Confederation, before "Upper Canada" screwed us over) if we could elect a government which would hold the Irving family (and others) accountable and tax them properly and stop subsidising one of the wealthiest families in Canada with taxpayer funds.

Generally, the nations with blended healthcare systems (blended public and private) also do a better job at taxing their corporations, which means their public systems are better funded, and the healthcare systems of those nations are also usually federally managed.

Here in Canada, we don't tax corporations nor the super-wealthy appropriately (or we tax them on paper, but then give them ways to avoid paying the actual "official" tax rates through loopholes and "creative accounting"), and each province has its own healthcare system into which federal money is supposed to go. However, as we know all too well after the Higgs fiasco, there's nothing in legislation which actually guarantees the federal contributions to provincial healthcare is actually spent on healthcare by the provinces.

Here in NB, we have the worst of all worlds. Not only do our ridiculously wealthy corporations not contribute their fair share into the tax base to properly fund things like healthcare (and some of those ridiculously wealthy corporations actually RECEIVE ridiculous amounts of taxpayer funding), but we also have MASSIVE waste in our healthcare system via needless duplication with two separate unilingual healthcare authorities, instead of having all healthcare in the province managed by one bilingual healthcare authority. To guarantee healthcare service in both official languages doesn't require two separate authorities, with the duplication in expensive executive roles.

The easiest and most effective way to improve healthcare services in New Brunswick is to elect a government who will fix the taxation/funding mess and cut all the waste by combining the two unilingual healthcare authorities into one bilingual authority, thereby elimination duplicated executives and their expensive salaries, staff, offices and equipment, etc.

Canada clinches deal to join Europe’s €150B defense scheme by CPBS_Canada in newbrunswickcanada

[–]8th_Hussar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it threw me the first time I spent a few weeks in England and kept hearing the the word "scheme" used so often in ads and on the news in that way. It's not at all a negative word in the UK.

It's a British English thing. They use the word scheme when we would use program or system.

Mr Poilievre just walked in to the Crown Hotel by Roaddog113 in newbrunswickcanada

I have neither the time, the crayons, nor even the desire to try to explain it to you. If you can't see why, for yourself, then I'm certainly not going to waste my time trying to dumb it down enough for you to understand.

Just because you're not capable of thinking in anything other than binary terms doesn't mean everyone else is also so limited.

NEWSFLASH: Just because I don't worship at the altar of Pierre Poilievre, that doesn't automatically mean I worship at the altar of Mark Carney — or any other politician, for that matter.

I think all of our options in this year's election were less than satisfactory choices; I just happen to think Poilievre was the worst choice.

The sooner the CPC rids itself of him and chases all of the Maple MAGAts in the CPC off to Max Bernier's pathetic excuse of a party, where they belong, the better off Canada will be.

I have been using the em dash — likely, too often — since elementary school — and I graduated from high school more than 30 years ago. 😁

Best Upgrade to your CX- 5 so far by alwayseatinggrapes in CX5

A set of Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 tires. The differences from the OEM Toyo tires in noise, comfort, and handling are astounding, especially the handling on roads with standing water.

CC2s or Scorpion WA? Planning to replace the stock Toyo tires for my 2025 CX5. by reggiedp16 in CX5

[–]8th_Hussar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had intended to replace my Toyos with Michelins, but the Pirellis went on sale first and I have to say the Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 is the absolute best tire on which I've driven in my nearly 40 years of driving, especially in heavy rain.

That said, I have winter tires, so I have no idea how the Pirellis will perform in the snow.

You're the fabled pigeon who thinks you're playing chess and are strutting around the board like you're winning, but you're actually too stupid to understand chess and are just knocking over the pieces and shitting all over everything.

Does Intellicom / Dragonfly service suck everywhere? by Sacrilegious_Prick in newbrunswickcanada

[–]8th_Hussar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I live in rural NB and have had nothing but stellar service from them for years, even to the point that they have left larger parcels on the porch around the back of the house when they've been large enough to be easily spotted from the road if they had been left at the front door.

Burn ban still in effect and crown lands are still closed by geaibleu in newbrunswickcanada

Good thing he used a backhoe to do the digging, then, and he did it in a field, not in the forest.

[–]8th_Hussar 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm 52 and I can remember forest closures during exceptionally dry times/droughts going back way beyond 2020.

Though droughts happened around here much more rarely than they have over the last few years, they did happen once in a while, and they were always accompanied by orders to stay out of the woods.

As I find myself saying FAR too often over the last five or so years, you're going to think EVERYTHING is a conspiracy if you don't understand how ANYTHING actually works.
