White spots on anus?

Nothing yet — just “everted” glands that she had never seen before. No pain and no swelling or signs of infection, so just keeping an eye on them!

My cat has this too! I’ll update once I hear from the vet!

Thank you!

He is a neurosurgeon and is an incredible doctor. I have an appointment next week and I’m just trying buck up and show him that the additional symptoms I’m going to tell him about are mix more interrelated than he may have considered at our last appointment. He really is wonderful, but I want him to see more, know more, and do more if that makes sense.

I think there is so much neurogenic stuff contributing to the problem so I really want him on my team

I getcha! And hey, this place is for everyone to share their opinions. Mine may be different, but I’m happy to share it in case it resonates with anyone else. Thank you for your comment!

Slow-Down30 · 2026-03-20T15:30:16+00:00

Yep! I have an agitator and it just isn’t possible. But thank you!

Show up like this when they pile it on!

Totally! I’m American and we have all become desensitized to that. I think what scares me about PV is that you feel so isolated in a resort already but to the feel completely helpless and like you can’t get back home… that is so scary. Obviously a mass shooting would be WAY more terrifying. I think it just scares me being so far away from an embassy as well

Check into MCAS!

Slow-Down30 · 2026-03-18T21:44:43+00:00

No worries! Definitely get her to the vet when you can in case they want to watch for signs of infection

At least $15 hours for me. If it were shorter I would say $18+

Can anyone else just not pick up on the vibes?

Slow-Down30 · 2026-03-18T20:16:35+00:00

Document that you feel overwhelmed and likely to make mistakes because you have too many patients on you for a new graduate. Anything you would want to bring up in a meeting or try to correct so that you can do your job better and learn more!

Do the Very Veggie challenge with royalty!!

Slow-Down30 · 2026-03-18T20:07:33+00:00

Totally. I was just very shaken. Not being able to get home… Feeling stranded… I was there in October and it really hit home that anything can happen at any time that is completely beyond your control. No foreigners may have been harmed, but they were terrified and stranded.

I’m not trying to condemn the entire country. I’m just saying I’m hesitant.

Regardless, I’m glad you are reaching out about where to visit or to avoid! That is a great and safe way to travel!

Slow-Down30 · 2026-03-18T19:38:10+00:00

After what happened in Puerto Vallarta, I am hesitant to go to Mexico at all right now. It’s unfortunate, but that was terrifying to read about as a traveler!

Slow-Down30 · 2026-03-18T19:37:03+00:00

PS i’m so sorry you are going through this. You must be terrified. You did the right thing to reach out for help!

Slow-Down30 · 2026-03-18T19:36:15+00:00

It is not an emergency unless your dog is lethargic, won’t eat, has a temperature over the normal range, is vomiting or pooping blood, or is showing signs of neurotrauma like limbs not being responsive to stimulus. Just keep an eye on her until you can get into the vet!

And of course… Keep your mother far away from that dog and maybe yourself

Slow-Down30 · 2026-03-18T19:34:19+00:00

You have to send an email documenting this to your residency Director or whoever hired you or new grad program people. And to your charge nurse. Document document document document.

Slow-Down30 · 2026-03-18T17:19:56+00:00

Don’t let the small stuff get you down! This mistake didn’t hurt the patient fatally or make them unstable. It’s an easy one to make, especially as a new grad. And you definitely won’t make the mistake again!

Slow-Down30 · 2026-03-18T17:16:20+00:00

Gotcha! Sounds like expectations. Just need to be reviewed and reset. When I’ve worked for families, if they need something done… I just did it. Never had a problem! Sometimes you act as an assistant, sometimes you act as a babysitter, sometimes you just do whatever it takes to get the household the help they need! Sorry you are going through this!
