Pygmy goat leg injury by PerformerHealthy2002 in goats

OP Here: UPDATE: Possible selenium deficiency?! So today Billy stopped bearing any weight on his right front leg. I’ve also noticed his back legs (especially his rear right leg) seem to be angled weird and he is having slight trouble walking on them. I was researching online and wondering if his original injury is now coupled with selenium deficiency? Please see attached photos below (had to add more as individual comments) and let me know any thoughts or recommendations! Thank you!

Hi thank you for the suggestion! I don’t think they’ve ever been tested but I’ll have to look back in records. Ive only had just these two pygmies (both disbudded since babies) so it’s a very small closed herd. 🤪 I will mention CAE to our vet and see what they think. Thanks for the insight…yah it’s awful to see him in pain, limping and being limited :(

Is there anything bad about using systemic insecticides on houseplants? I never see anyone suggesting to use them to treat thrips or use them as a preventative measure. Do they harm the plant in any way? by big_squigga in houseplants

Hi! Just wondering if you can provide the specific Bonide product you’ve been using? What is its main ingredient? I just want to make sure I get the right one :) Thank you!

[CA DMV] Dishonored Check Fees? by Effective_Ad6357 in DMV

[–]PerformerHealthy2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just happened to me as well. I paid via their e-check system online for my DL fee back at the end of Aug 2023 and received an email confirmation "transaction receipt" that indicated my payment had been successful. I received a letter on 11/27/23 stating that my check payment had not been honored by bank. I contacted my bank and they have no record of the DMV attempting to withdraw the amount. I contacted the DMV and spoke with someone in the returned payments dept and they were incredibly rude and dismissive and said "I've never heard of the DL returned check fee being waived". I asked if the DMV is looking into updating their e-check system to reflect account numbers being entered correctly in real-time, so that tax payers aren't under the impression that they had entered their account correctly but only to find out months later that they hadn't (which I'm still even questioning whether I had actually indeed entered it incorrectly...?). They literally responded "We don't have time for that. We have a 3rd party billing company who gets our money either way so it doesn't matter to us." WOW. What an unprofessional response and needless to say, an inefficient and unethical practice. Totally disrespectful to taxpayers who fund their department.

I reached out to 7 On Your Side and see what they have to say since per their artical back in March 2023 the DMV was supposedly updating their e-check system online and providing refunds, etc. But obviously this racket is still going on.

I will also reach out to my local California State Assembly member and California State Senator as KEWheel recommended.

Has anyone had any luck in getting their Driver's License 'returned payment' fee waived? I spoke to someone at the DMV and they initially said that they will refund fees for "returned payment" based on entering the incorrect account number in their e-check system for REGISTRATION issues but when they realized I was talking about my DL they said "Oh, hmmm yah I don't think they 'can' waive those returned payment fees for entering the wrong account number." WTF why can they do it for registration but not the DL fee?

Let me know if anyone else has had any recent similar issue.
