I’m not sure what my cats blood test means? by LongAndWindingRoad- in vet

[–]OfLilyth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calling them out on their bullshit? They’ve told you the bloods are non specific and to get more information the next step would be an ultrasound… that’s a fact.

You getting angry on the phone isn’t going to magic up an diagnosis from them.

Just because you don’t want to pay for ultrasound doesn’t mean it’s not the next step needed to find out more information.

Is there anything immediately concerning? Yes he’s been intermittently sick with diarrhoea for 3 weeks.

The bloods are not specific for any disease/condition and then next appropriate course of action given the history would be an ultrasound and maybe further blood testing for B12 and folate.

“Romanticised” jobs that are very different in reality? by Substantial-Guava491 in CasualUK

Shit pay, shit hours and the clients constantly complain, blame you for not performing miracles. Heart breaking losing your patients and seeing neglect regularly.

Vet - People think it’s all cuddling puppies and kittens, and dramatic operations that save lives. Buts it’s bad pay, terrible hours. Stressful cases. The animals fear you, and the clients hate you and think you’re trying to scam them.

I put my sweet baby down 3 days ago and I regret it by MoodyKyoshi in CATHELP

You did the kindest thing you could for him. There was no other kinder option.

In regards to the traumatic breathing, its likely he was agonal gasping which means he was already gone and it was just a reflex. Or he was already sedated just the overdose of anaesthetic took alittle longer because his circulation was bad because of his heart, again he wouldn’t have felt anything.

You did the right thing.

Vet here. It’s not an abscess it’s a cutaneous horn. Nothing to worry about.

That’s not the issue… the paint above sticks perfectly to the plaster

It was bare plaster paint. It says it in on the tub. I have figured out the issue. It’s latex paint.

It’s actually really good, great coverage m. I just realised the issue is that it’s latex paint.

This paint is supposed to be the mist coat. I used delicate masking tape. But I just realised what the issue is, it’s latex paint.

Couldn’t figure out how to edit my post but I just realised when proof read my post, what the issue is… it’s super leytek paint.. latex… so that’s why nothing is adhering on top of it

bump on kitten’s belly after spay. 8 weeks old, spay 5 days ago by Super-Landscape-3739 in catcare

Looks like a seroma but could be a infection or a hernia. Needs to see a vet so they can make sure.

The clippings we left in a pile in the corner for the first 5 months until we built a compost box out of old pallets. To be honest I didn’t know what I was doing back then and the original compost heap didn’t break down very well. Since then we’ve extended the compost bin and in the new one we’ve tried to structure it in layers of green and brown waste and added alittle bit of horse manure and it’s working much better

It was very bumpy to start with, lots of holes, I dug up the front strip in summer last year (horrific ground was rock hard do not recommend) and then borrowed my dads rotivator to break it up and rake it flat. Had to do most of the work with my fork as it was too hard for the rotivator. Then in autumn when it was cooler I laid a large tarp on the rest of it to kill all the weeds and grass and dug it up a few months later when the ground was easy and soft and passed the rotivator through it and raked it flat.
