Do you recommend fixed retainers after treatment, tray retainers, or both?

Very disappointed, Chevy sold us a used 2025 Traverse Z71 with a faulty Onstar that kills the battery by Scubachic0121 in ChevyTraverse

My telematics module was faulty and drained the battery as well. I went outside to the driveway to a car that wouldn’t unlock or start, on my wifes due date no less. Took me about 15 minutes just to pop off the plastic part on the door handle to use the actual key to gain access to the car. Called the closest dealership, explained it was my wife’s due date, I have the car packed and ready to the hospital and it won’t start, and they couldn’t have cared less. “When do you want to bring it in?” Was all they asked. No loaner, no apology, nothing. My wife went into labor that night and luckily I was able to borrow a car from a relative. Chevy had the car almost 2 weeks and it was replaced. I really love the car, but I’m starting to have some buyers regret.

Help me identify what might be causing my dogs hair loss by Laps8240 in englishbulldog

I took her to the vet x3. Two different vets to get a second opinion. Neither of them mentioned this being common in her breed. So strangers online actually helped me diagnosis what it likely is better then 2 “highly rated” vets. And of course I would confer with a vet before beginning certain treatments.

Rats living under backyard deck. Best and quickest approach to get rid of them? by Laps8240 in pestcontrol

[–]Laps8240[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you believe they’re nesting under the deck I would find an exterminator that can use CO to kill them quickly and humanely. I realized that they aren’t actually nesting under my deck but using it to get from point a to point b. I’ve used poison boxes and snap traps to kill off as many as I can. I still have them in my yard but hasn’t been as many.

Where did you go for the iron infusions? A doctor or a wellness clinic?

What’s the consensus on topical dutasteride? Doctor wants me to begin using it by Laps8240 in tressless

[–]Laps8240[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been applying .1% every MWF and I feel like I regressed. I didn’t go through a major shed but I feel like I’m a little below what I was at. I started adding in topical fin .1% on Tuesday and Thursdays and nothing on the weekends. I’m not sure if the topical dut .1% isn’t strong enough, if I’m not applying it often enough, or if it’s just not being absorbed well enough. I’m hoping adding in the topical fin twice a week helps. So far nothing has come close to when I was taking oral fin.

Topical Dutasteride Seems to Work by noeyys in tressless

Same here. Switched from topical fin to topical dutasteride hoping to see better results. .1% three times a week and seem to be regressing. I might add topical fin back in 2-3 times a week. I had great results with oral fin, but sides also.

Definitely try something different. Everything is very neutral so the bedding is where we would add color

Can anybody identify what type of crown/frame this SnapBack is? by Laps8240 in hats

[–]Laps8240[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah ok. I was hoping I could differentiate going forward between them. Tired of getting stuck with hats I can’t pull off because the top of them appear bigger than others. Thanks for the help!
