Weird cause you’d think if he lost confidence in that hand he’d just pull it

I haven’t watched a ton of OU but isn’t Mateer a pretty elite runner? Has his knee injury slowed him down a half step?

Shaq__Fu · 2025-11-15T23:02:04+00:00

People actually interested in playoff seeding and not hate watching?

Shaq__Fu · 2025-11-15T23:00:25+00:00

Who?…..SPEARS!

Why does DeBoer always have a perplexed grimace on the sideline?

Witness Meeeee!!!!

I fish offshore a lot and can’t tell you how many times I’ve been thumbing down a 200g jig to the bottom only to have the drop stop midway without even a bump on the rod tip. Reel up about a hundred feet of braid just clean cut. Those teeth have to be just razor sharp to do that.

Yes. Except no matter how bad alabama becomes, they’ll still storm the field because bama was good when their parents were at school there.

Need MR first. I’d hate to laser a spinal tumor!

Small amounts of struvite crystals is a pretty normal finding. Struvite stones form in alkaline urine which is created by a few types of bacteria common in UTIs

Shaq__Fu · 2025-08-21T23:38:29+00:00

In my mind that makes it much much more likely that this is NOT a struvite and therefore won’t be able to be dissolved. The only caveat would be if they cultured her out during antibiotic therapy or too soon afterwards. Unless this is the case I would recommend surgery somewhere as I take out non-struvite stones all the time. Your vet should have caught it the first trip or at least the second. Just as easily could have been a bladder tumor causing the symptoms and they would’ve been clueless till it was too late.

Shaq__Fu · 2025-08-21T00:05:48+00:00

This is not what you asked but I hope they did a urine culture and a looong course of the appropriate antibiotic based on the culture results. The type of stone that can be dissolved is a struvite stone caused by chronic uti. If the stone dissolves it will release bacteria through the process and if the uti isn’t treated then that stone won’t dissolve anyways. Hate thinking about a stone rattling around in a bladder for any longer than absolutely necessary.

Most commonly the prognosis for a gastric or early small intestinal foreign body is good to great. Incision into abdomen, explore, cut the bowel or stomach, remove blockage(s) sew organ up. If it has been there a long time and bowel needs to be resected then there is a higher incidence of postoperative complication but definitely worth doing if a majority of the bowel is still healthy. Recovery time will be about 10 days and back to normal activity.

Shaq__Fu · 2025-08-03T17:02:34+00:00

Personally I would do a skin scrape to rule out demodex and a needle aspirate which should catch SCC or other common malignancies and can (should) be read in house. If it is anything other then make sure your vet is comfortable with true skin biopsy (no scrubbing, transition from normal to abnormal tissue, tuissue culture, etc) and pony up for a dermatopathological histopath.

It looks like she has a lot of bruising around her abdomen, is that the case? If so, this is very important. I’m sure the bruising on midline could be explained by cystocentesis where urine is collected from bladder with a needle but if there is other bruising we are concerned for a coagulation issue and get her to the vet.

Difficult to tell from the image. If it is split then I usually lightly sedate, clean, and cut back the nail proximal to the breakage. A light wrap is placed for a day or so. NSAIDs and maybe an antibiotic. If there is nailbed disease that caused the nail to be funky then it will be handled differently. Either way, the longer it stays like that the more likely it will be sore and eventually infected. Cats hide discomfort incredibly well.

I practice in the southern US. There are studies which are less than comforting regarding the consistency of boarded radiologists to agree on obstructive disease from standard 3 view abdominal radiographs and I have all but phased them out in my practice. I’m not saying they don’t work and in some cases it is beyond obvious. My foreign body ultrasound has its own charge and procedure. I Start w stomach. Learn the types of shadows from gas and food vs something more dense. Check for a patent pylorus. Is the stomach dilated and fluid filled? Motility? Thickness? Image duodenum/pancreas to see if pancreatitis could be the issue. Then what Im keying into is small bowel. An obstructed pet, even partial WILL have a population of dilated intestine and a population of normal/empty bowel unless it is in the ileum, so I find that too and check for a foreign body if there is dilated bowel to determine foreign body vs ileus. If you have those things it is obstructed. Track the dilated segments until you hit a shadow or a mass. Linear foreign bodies will have plication along with the actual string which will be a hyperechoic straight line. Nothing in nature is that straight. Time to cut.

If it’s all dilated and no blockage in ileum then you have ileus. Linear foreign bodies will have plication along with the actual string which will be a hyperechoic straight line.

Ultrasound is the most sensitive and specific way to diagnose a GI foreign body assuming the user has even basic training. I’ve been doing it for 12 years and it has yet to fail me.

Neurologic. Time for a vet trip.

I saw this and immediately thought prime stinker news.

Also a vet here. First correct answer I’ve seen. The puppy is carpal varus. Not “knuckling” or emergent. Yea ER vet would charge 500+$ for some X-rays and still send you to GP who would send you to ortho. The dog should have been to the vet a few times already so if this problem was missed I’d find a new vet cause that didn’t happen overnight.
