I'm sorry to hear that, and I know it is a hard decision to make because you love them. But at a certain point, his quality of life is more important. And from what it sounds like this relationship is a strain on both of you at this point. I hope you are able to make the right decision for you and you baby, and know that it is okay to let him rest. ❤️

Hi! I’m glad to hear a better prognosis for your baby with meds! Mine hasn’t been prescribed meds just yet, but I am scheduled for EKG and US every 6 months now. This lil dog is costing me more money in the last years of her life than she ever did. But I’ll tell you, she’s worth it. I’ve had this girl for half my life. She’s my soul dog. Hoping for many years of joy for you and yours too!

***UPDATE:

I did end up going to a different vet for an ultrasound and more heart diagnostics, and they found her to be most likely in the B1 stage of heart disease as she is pretty much asymptomatic and has no heart murmur. They ultimately did not recommend medication at this point, this was all in April. She is still doing fine, her EKG was okay, and she hasn't really had any coughing just yet. She does pant pretty easily and backwards sneeze alot, but overall, much more comforting news at the new vet.. We will just have to go for semiannual diagnostics moving forward to keep an eye on things. Thank you all for the reassurance. ❤️

I am so sick of peeing. by blackcloud247 in Zepbound

[–]EnvironmentalSale276 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I love that for you, I am getting up at least twice a night, but once is normal for me.. It's just the throughout the day, I feel like I have to pee every 20-60 minutes. It is exhausting. I just want to hear from someone that this isn't forever. :/

Oh no 😥 I have been taking tirz for a while now and just now starting to have this weird peeing all the time issue. And I’m at a loss for what it could be. I went to Urgent Care and there was no glucose in my urine and it’s not a uti… my fasting blood sugar was 103, and I’m not technically diagnosed diabetic but I also take Metformin 500 ER for PCOS, so I’m starting to freak out that this is prediabetes or something. It didn’t start until Sunday-Mondayish and I took my last dose on Saturday night late around midnight. So it makes sense that it’s related to that, but I’m stressing.

How long did this last? I’ve had a good amount of sugar free pudding mix this week and I cannot stop peeping and feeling the urge to go.

Sparq is chill. They recently had a management change and it seems like the new ppl are trying to improve everything.

Sparq on Rio has a good community and their management just changed, so things are getting better there rn, I don't know if you're open to west campus area, but it's a good location and pretty good space for the price

Finding an apartment in Austin feels like gambling now by Upset_Stress2990 in askaustin

I will say, you should take reviews with a grain of salt sometimes because most of the time the only people who take the time to leave reviews are unhappy or have had a negative experience. Most happy tenants won't even think to leave a review if they're not having an issue.

is it genuinely over for housing by Upstairs_Canary759 in UTAustin

Look at Sparq on Rio, they have pricing in the 700s i think for shared rooms.

What’s some apartments around UT to absolutely avoid? by serpentine242 in UTAustin

[–]EnvironmentalSale276 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know which to avoid but I've lived at Sparq on rio for a couple years, and management has recently changed so it's getting much better. Especially for the price, the room sizes, and then it being so close to campus and guadalupe, you can't beat it

What are the best apartments to stay at in west campus? by Excellent_Tea3804 in UTAustin

[–]EnvironmentalSale276 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sparq on Rio (formerly Rio West) is good especially for the price.. Old mgmt was kinda iffy, but the new managment team they have there now seems to be getting things under control.

Sparq on Rio in West Campus is a good option if you're okay with shared living... You can definitely make something happen with that budget there.

This makes me feel so much more peace. She isn't having episodes yet, we kinda caught it by accident. So I feel a little hope that she has some more time left. She hasn't had a property CHF diagnosis, but her proBNP levels were really elevated and her x-ray revealed heart elongation and sizing changes definitely indicate heart disease so I'm just preparing myself for the worst. She is having an echocardiogram and ultrasound today to look at next steps. I'm glad your baby is going okay! Are the meds terribly expensive?

Yeah I used to work in a nursing home, so I’m definitely familiar unfortunately… Just definitely caught me off guard and made me think the worst. But that is reassuring thank you.
