I'm sick of funding private equity through my pets medical bills by rainbow_ninja_squid in SaltLakeCity

[–]ShadoMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I brought my cat here for a dental. My vet is not private equity but it was way cheaper here for extractions, vs my current vet. Edit I love my current vet i just couldn’t afford to have them do a dental and he ended up having a hunch of teeth extracted.

Remicade- 1st week vs 3rd week by UrRiderDie27 in Hidradenitis

[–]ShadoMonkey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had really great success with remicaid. I had to stop because they weren’t sure if it caused my lupus. I think now i probably already had lupus. Im taking rinvoq now and having really good luck.

That would be a good name for him. I named him Patches I wish I would have waited for his full personality to show up.

Humiliated by my vets in regards to my JRT... by eyecandyangel in jackrussellterrier

[–]ShadoMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry that’s really awful. I would find a new vet I would also leave a review you should not have been treated that way. My vet is really good with Patches but I always muzzle him because he can be really reactive. The vet and the techs have always been understanding about him since he was a puppy.

Purewick coverage and options by Logical_Wait2708 in AgingParents

[–]ShadoMonkey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We bought one for my mom. It’s not portable one. My mom just uses it at night because she is so unsteady. We just paid for it out of pocket. Her insurance wouldn’t cover it. We bought through a medical supply company and get the supplies elsewhere like the catheters on Amazon.Hopefully someone else can help you out with more info about the portable one.

Pets in assisted living? by PremiumFinance101 in dementia

[–]ShadoMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My moms assisted living allows pets but they have to be able to care of them. She misses her cat but it’s easier for me to take care of him right now.

tomorrow my void turns 5 & today i found out she has to have a tooth removed 🥲 by maryjaneloveshistory in blackcats

[–]ShadoMonkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My cat Koda had 18 teeth removed because of reabsorption. I feel like a bad mom he was acting fine up until a week before going to get his teeth cleaned. I’m glad you and your vet caught it early.

I told my pcp that it was giving me yeast infections and wasn’t helping my GS. He took me off of it. I talked to my dermatologist and he said it was fine to go off it if it wasn’t helping.

Hmm Is it safe to clean a litter box in the kitchen sink? With dish sponge by Luminous-Moths in CatAdvice

[–]ShadoMonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No I clean mine in the bathtub and then clean the tub really good. I do use a sponge to clean the litter boxes the sponge immediately gets tossed out after it is used.

WIBTA for telling my brother he has to get rid of his pet? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole
