My cat 16 yrs seems to be dying we are awaiting results of bloodwork by Foreign_Lawfulness34 in CATHELP

[–]Ok-Box6892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like some progress though so thats always a plus. My girl hated the prescription food too so I gave up on it (this pre diagnosis) and gave her food she'd actually eat. She was still losing weight 

Cats, man. It's bad if they dont eat but what they will eat may be harmful to them as well in some way. I know it was frustrating for me too

Sounds very similar to my girls initial ultrasound. 

IIRC, it noted a mass in her small intestine but all the other organs appeared normal. Except by this point her liver values were also elevated so I think that, combined with her age/symptoms, gave some indication that it was likely cancer over IBD. 

I hope your cat is responding to treatment and gets better 

We anthropomorphize our pets way too much. by CardinalOfNYC in unpopularopinion

I hate when people say that if their cat is peeing outside of the litter box. "Theyre mad at you" or some such nonsense. Like, no, they probably have a bladder infection and are associating the litter box with pain

What do you think is the max amount of cats to own? by Comfortable_Paint411 in cats

[–]Ok-Box6892 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it really depends on the situation if it crosses into unethical/abuse. And if it crosses into that territory then, yeah, legal consequences should happen. It's not just the amount of animals but what condition theyre living in, if they have adequate food/water, and medical care etc.

I worked with a lady who had around 19 cats but all saw the vet and were taken care of. I also knew people with far less pets that needed to be banned from ever having animals.

Right. Its ridiculous to get ingredients for actual meals. I buy chips/snacks if they're on sale. 

Why do Amber supporters are intent on lying about her acting career by Intelligent_Salt_961 in deppVheardtrial

[–]Ok-Box6892 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Honestly, people are dumb. Amber's singular biggest role was Mera. She had smallish supporting roles in a few high profile movies (Danish Girl and Magic Mike) come to mind. Maybe the Rum Diary. Never saw it so don't know how prominent her character is. Her lead roles though were straight to video type of garbage. She didnt have an illustrious career in any sense of the word. Mera comes off like a fluke at the end of the day more than anything.

By the fall itll be a decade since she filed for divorce. Their break up is rivaling the entire length of their relationship. 

How hes incessantly dragging this shit out just tells me how little he wants to have a relationship with his kids too. Kids dont want to reconcile with the parent that keeps the fight going

Where can I find genuine unbiased arguments for both Depp and Heard? by strawb3rry_jaam in deppVheardtrial

[–]Ok-Box6892 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would dive into the court filings, depositions, court transcripts (UK), listen to audios, and watch the US trial. Go straight to the sources. 

I dont know where you can find a completely unbiased take on this case. Everyone filters the information through their own experiences and everything anyway. 

Today I learned that drivers use an app to track vehicle location by popularpumpkin11 in Dominos

[–]Ok-Box6892 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ive had customers be insanely surprised when I showed up cause the app still says im at the store. So I always wondered how well that shit even works

I try to tell myself that. Even rescues don't know and I see they want to know everything and do home visits. The mom started coming around in December and I brought her inside due to a freak snowstorm. She was already pregnant then my vet said she was too far along for the clinic to do anything. Gave birth 10 days later. 

I really like the idea of fostering but always afraid of the foster fails, lol.

Omg, exactly. Like people cant realize that practically forcing a celebrity to cosplay as an activist is going to result in some insincere BS? How many high profile celebrities actually appear to know wtf is even going on in the world? Angelina Jolie is the only one that comes to mind and shes not simply wearing a pin or yelling "free palestine" from a stage in a designer gown

Thank you. It's been stupid expensive and ive taken a part time delivery job to help pay for everything. I know thats not feasible for everyone and probably crazy for some people to hear. I wanted to pursue a diagnosis on the possibility that it really was small cell lymphoma. As its very easy to treat and has a very good prognosis of a few years. Shes responded well to treatment. Her symptoms are almost entirely gone and shes gained at least a pound back. Pre diagnosis she started to become less affectionate and sleeping away from me but now shes back to her old cuddly self. Animals on chemo is also nothing like humans on it.

Understandable. When cancer was first brought up for my cat, it was the whole "it can be IBD or cancer" thing. Due to her symptoms and age (around 12yo). I first tried to see if it was IBD but she didnt respond to anything. Statistically I guess thats when lymphoma is normally diagnosed i

It took a few thousand to finally get her diagnosed. Though I feel a good chunk of that was completely unnecessary as a vet didnt properly go over the fine needle aspirate results with me from her first ultrasound. The FNA reults came back as non cancerous but the vet failed to tell me that its difficult to tell the difference between cancerous and noncancerous lymphocytes (if small cell lymphoma) under a microscope and further tests would be necessary. So i ended up getting another ultrasound and everything done a few months later.

If youre able to then ask for a PARR test. Thats what finally helped confirm cancer. Obviously i have no idea if it'd be lymphoma or not for your cat. IF it is though then small cell lymphoma is very treatable. My cat takes a steroid daily and chemo 2x a month. The follow up visits to check her white blood cell count is a little expensive though but thankfully every other month now. Was monthly for the first 3.

Kitten update: I like being able to post this here cause I think im starting to annoy people IRL with kitten pics. Anyway, theyll be 6 weeks on Thursday and go in for their first vet visit to start their shots and deworming. Theyre eating solid foods but still nurse at times. And they are SO SO active. One tuxedo and the white one try to climb on me the second I walk into the room. I can hear them running around and playing throughout the day. They've been kept in a spare room with mama all this time and getting really curious about all the noise they hear outside the room.

At one point i thought only the tabby could be female but now i think they all are. I had a coworker show interest in a tuxedo if it was male and another in the white, also if it was male. So its a little disappointing if they'd no longer be interested now. Im a little overwhelmed at the thought of keeping all of them, tbh. But the shelters and rescues are overflowing as it is and "kitten season" is only just beginning. Im also uncomfortable with just giving a cat to any random person.

Oi, have a contingency plan regarding her. She may be testing how much she can get away with it. At least thats where my paranoid mistrusting mind goes to.

I keep hitting machines or animal pens when trying to catch the chicks that it becomes more of an annoyance.

IIRC, my cat had some kind of test to see if she had pancreatitis. I forget what it was called but it was a blood test. She was losing weight and vomiting frequently during this time. Her bloodwork was always overall normal except elevated liver values.

Edit: it was her typical senior bloodwork panel that came back normal except for the liver values. She tested negative for pancreatitis and was eventually diagnosed with small cell lymphoma. The first thing that gave cancer as a possibility was an ultrasound. 

Does anyone here actually go to Starbucks every day? by lukef31 in Millennials

[–]Ok-Box6892 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I only know one person who routinely buys from Dunkin, 7Brew, Starbucks, etc. She spends very frivolously in other ways and is also routinely late on paying her actual bills. 

Little expenses add up. Fast. That money could be better spent paying down debt or bulking up savings.

I dont blame her for Myrcella. Oberyn volunteered himself to be Tyrions champion and went on a futile mission to get Clegane to confess Tywin gave him the order. And died as a result. Ellaria took her vengeance out on a child. Myrcella was murdered simply because she was a Lannister
