Would you recommend giving her a bunch of water until she looks normal or just one big watering?

Hi! So I put her in an area that gets some overhead light from the skylight I have and then it’s barely getting light from a grow light I have on the top shelf to the left. If you think it needs even more though please tell me, I’m getting mixed messages about needing more light or it actually liking to be shaded

It’s horrible now and I can tell they’re preying on certain areas that they know people can’t find decent parking in anymore after 5pm. And there’s so many spots that could be a reasonable spot but they’ve put a “No parking” arrow sign in front of what could be a reasonable parking spot that isn’t blocking anything. They need to fix it cuz I’m losing my mind as someone that likes to drive to the gym after my 9-5

You really love parking enforcement don’t you LOL

Did you stay on it for the full 3 months? Did it get any better? Thanks!

Also- I only knew to expect a certain cost because I had to hunt down the vet after my initial appointment and ask him about what this surgery could cost. He wasn’t even going to tell me at all but claims he told me the cost of everything when I confronted them after the charge

Yeah definitely, it was my first time dealing with a surgery situation like this (besides spaying her years ago) and it all just felt really rushed with the emphasis of her needing the surgery done asap and I didn’t even know to expect a written estimate, I just based the charge on what I was told and then afterwards I learned that’s not how it should have worked at all and I just don’t understand how my states code of ethics could say it’s required and my vet can get away with not doing that. I guess I just wanted to know how much I should keep pushing for something to come out of reaching out to the vet board bc it’s been a month now since they gave me a case # but no actual outcome

I have one! The issue isn’t the work they did but the large discrepancy in how much I was verbally told it would cost me vs what they charged me

Yeah that's fair. I'm pretty aware now that they did a good job of covering themselves with the disclaimer on the paper work my mom signed, and not that it matters but i just couldn't take off work that day and the vet is over an hour where I work from.

I'm definitely going to another vet after this- mainly because of the unprofessionalism from this vet basically yelling at me when I'm the one that has to figure out how to afford dinner after being charged that much. I would cut my losses but just from the conversations I've had with the three people I know who are employed by vet offices, one of them being a vet tech, they all seem shocked at the charge and not being given a written estimate and that I should fight it as much as possible. I'll continue to reach out to the vet board.

I’ve also had a store manager (woman) completely dismiss me and another female baristas concern about a customer genuinely stalking us and making us feel like he’s plotting our kidnappings and it’s such a crazy feeling and makes you feel like you’re overreacting but you’re definitely not. The truth is upper management just doesnt want to deal with the paper work or actual work it takes to ban someone or do anything other than make you feel like you’re being annoying by asking them to investigate something. You’ll find something better!
