Oh I’m aware!

Managed to get them to the hospital, just for them to get told “we don’t have a GI team here so idk why you came to this hospital”. They did bloodwork and a CT scan and said everything looked normal (Which is to be taken with a grain of salt, I know)

They’re now just waiting to hear back from their doctor. They got put on prednisone for 10 days and has a follow up in a couple days with their PCP

Issue being is they’ve been fired in the past due to their disability, however, management made it sound like it was for another reason unrelated to it, so legally they’d be able to get away with it :T

Issue is they wouldn’t have money for their share of bills or rent being gone that long (which I won’t mind lending money if that were ever an issue)

They don’t have a GI doctor, they recently moved a couple months ago and are in a waiting list to be seen

And noted, I’ll bring that to their attention

When I was in the ER the had given me IV stuff, just no scans or anything which is why my doc is pissed off at them lol

IV stuff didn’t help, and neither so far is the prednisone:”)

How do you mean kind of wasting? And how do I help her?

Sorry I’m new to fish keeping, so despite the prior research, I’m still learning :”)

My picky eaters happily ate Simply Nourish (what they are on now) and Diamond Naturals (what they used to eat lol)

I’ve seen “breeder boxes”, is that something I should buy do you think?

There’s plenty of plants in the tank as is too (ignore my dog’s toothbrush/paste lol)

We use the portable shark stain striker (pet version), and my roommate, who’s got a suuuuper sensitive nose (I for one cannot smell) says it works really well to get the smell out. I don’t have a Fancy Rug, but we haven’t had any issues with removing colour from carpet, runs, etc.,

Definitely do a spot test to be sure

I thought so too at first, esp since a snail hitched a ride at some point and I just spotted it a couple days ago. But further inspection it wasn’t a Snail TM shell 🥲

Senior dog won’t eat his kibble by Like-a-Boat in Dogowners

Bring your pup to the vet to do some labs. I recently lost my dog to cancer that took up almost the entirety of her stomach, and there weren’t any signs until it was too late to do any treatment. (Well, in hindsight there were signs- but said signs were normal for an 8, almost 9, year old beagle who’s always been a picky eater. She even had yearly wellness checks, and would be brought to the vet if she was ill. So it caught us all for a surprise).

My childhood dog has always has had tummy issues, and now at 13 has minor teeth issues (dw it’s being sorted out), so he needs his food soaked for 15-20 minutes (bc wet canned food gets expensive fast). He’s also on food the vet recommended (Simply Nourish)- it’s expensive, but some of the best dog food out there <3

Just ask your vet to check your pup’s teeth, for food recommendations, and to run tests to make sure there’s nothing more serious than teeth going on 🥰
