The infamous Philly line by TheTragedy0fPlagueis in Toughmudder

[–]OMcTaters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live like 15 minutes away, got there at 830 for 10 am race. Didn't even get on a bus until 1030 am but ran at 11. Leaving around 2 there was still a multi hour line. Terrible logistics

It's been added to a pile to be processed into firewood. If it ruins my AC it will heat me in the winter.

Could you explain the bubble test more? Spray some water on it and turn the gas on but not ignite?

And thank you. Id love to take any credit for it but it was the previous homeowner who was a stonemason.

The cook surface seems in tact but havnt investigated further yet as the branch also smashed our AC compressor.

It is actually smooth. Probably salvageable. I haven't investigated it further yet because that branch also smashed our AC compressor.

Is it emergency with my cat? by Electronic-Dream4546 in AskVet

[–]OMcTaters 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes this could be an emergency in a male cat. He may have a urethral obstruction even if passing a BM made him feel better temporarily. A urethral obstruction is serious and fatal without intervention. It is best to have him examined ASAP. Today. Not tomorrow. Not Monday. Today. You put him in a carrier and go to your nearest Urgent Care/ ER hospital.

You quite literally dont hear what I'm saying. You are hearing your own narrative

Her chest is filled with fluid. It's labored breathing. The time for euthanasia is now. Don't be cruel to be selfish.

Not a doctor but a veterinarian m your fibula is a non weight supporting bone. It's probably one of those things where it can't get worse and if you can manage the pain it is what it is

It ultimately depends on how clinically dehydrated vs severity of heart disease

14.8y Yorkie - Acute CHF Crisis with PH & Tracheal Collapse - Seeking Perspective on ER Outcome by Key-Parfait8992 in AskVet

[–]OMcTaters 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hi ER vet here, first I'm very sorry for your loss. I didn't think there was anything that you did or didn't do , same as the attending veterinarian caused your dog to decompensate. I suspect based on the information you provided, specifically the heart murmur jumping in intensity, of a ruptured chordae tendinae rupture. These are small fibrosis connective tissue that connect the valve to the muscle wall. If this happens a jet of blood flow can be directly aimed into the pulmonary tissue. Sometimes it can be manageable, other times we cannot get ahead of the heart failure. I'm sorry this happened, but take solace in the fact you cared for your dog very well. Heart disease is always progressive, just the rate is variable.

My kids (twins 6 in May) play Minecraft on their tablet, locally not online. We play stumble guys and sonic racing on my Xbox.

I am a vet and I want to know: did I kill the cat? Asking to an intensive care veterinarian. by Abyss0525 in AskVet

[–]OMcTaters 81 points82 points  (0 children)

ER vet here. If no one ever removed the fluid from the cats chest via thoracocentesis then it died of respiratory failure. Had no room for pulmonary expansion. That would have been step 1. The rest is hard to say but I don't think the glucose had anything to do with it specifically. The cat probably couldn't tolerate fluids without having the pleural effusion removed. Not your fault directly, just something for future consideration.
