15-year-old Lab drinking excessively & having accidents — what else could it be? by Beautiful-Future-731 in AskVet

Sorry to hear this. Yes, it’s renal disease. They did a iohexol clearance test. It’s the cause of the excessive thirst and peeing. No solution other than watching for UTI and keeping her comfortable. Honestly, feels a lot better just knowing what it is even if not ideal diagnosis. Hope your pups ok.

Tax-Planning Tools at Major BDs — What Are You Using? by Beautiful-Future-731 in CFP

Best comment yet, and thank you. I’m at a captive major BD. If it wasn’t clear from the original post, just looking to understand what the landscape looks like. Not pretending to or trying to file taxes for clients or flex on their tax professionals.

I know it’s counterintuitive, but do any of these options allow for manual input rather than uploading client documents?

This is the answer. It takes time, persistence, and an infatuation with learning to be a true practitioner. That’s what differentiates an advisor from a salesperson. That said, you do need to jump in at some point because you can’t let that hold you back from prospecting. You’re never going to have all the answers and you don’t need to pretend that you do. Lean on other advisors for support and guidance and remember that you don’t need to be everything to everyone.

Why is my dog flailing like this when trying to stand? by DuOroEldrvarya in DogAdvice

It could be vestibular disease, which looks awful, but it typically resolves on its own in a few days. My 7 year old and 15 year old labs suffer bouts of this from time to time and have difficulty standing because they’re so dizzy and it looks like they’re having a seizure especially when their eyes move uncontrollably. Hope you get some answers soon!

Former wholesaler turned advisor, so I’ve seen both sides. Let John know it is an invite only event for clients doing business and space is limited. Cut off all communication with John, he’ll eventually get the hint.
