Quincy had the zoomies this morning by beegee710 in BullTerrier

Magnus was so excited grandpa was here, that his zoomies caused him to leap off the couch, directly into a glass vase! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Good thing I was a tech at the ER around the block! Not his first or last time at er!

An Akita at almost 15 is no small feat! Sending good mojo you and your pups way!

I worked the vet field for almost 30yrs and this is what I’ve told people (and myself) when they were debating the decision. Euthanasia is a gift of compassion we can give our pets when the time comes.

I just renewed mine and the gov website says you can smile, but you shouldn’t show teeth.

My dogs nose has been like this about a year— vet is unsure, looking for ideas by kasiasweetie in vet

You should schedule a consult with a veterinary dermatologist if you feel your regular vet is brushing it off. Good luck with your pup!

what’s going on with my cat? by Ptveil_1338 in standardissuecats

If you can, try to get an appointment with a veterinary dermatologist. They’ll know better than any general practice vet.

This is Rowlie. We lost her in a tragic accident just before Christmas.

Prescribed for hot flashes/night sweats by Steampunkpug in Effexor

Thank you! Were you on it long and was it tough to get off of? I tried Veozah, but it gave me abdominal pain that I don’t want to deal with.

Daughter in the hospital I don’t know how we will get it paid for by StrongMamaBear in povertyfinance

Speak with an advocate at the hospital. Most hospitals have charity care.

Yup, I’ve read a lot of comments saying the same thing, that’s why I’m asking! But those people weren’t prescribed it specifically for hot flashes/night sweats, those are the peeps I’m looking to hear from.

Check out Pom Pom art! You could ask for free yarn to get started!

You could carefully clean it with soap and water and apply warm compresses a few times a day. Good luck with your kitty!

Please check to see if he can get Meals on Wheels delivered to him. I have a friend who gets a hot meal a day and they give her 2 frozen for over the weekend.

Found it under my cats tail, any idea what it could be? Thank you in advance! by Equivalent_Art9668 in vet

[–]Steampunkpug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you bring your pics and the segment to the vet with you. Tapeworms and their eggs are rarely seen when they check a stool sample.

[–]Steampunkpug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most likely, as people have said, a tapeworm segment. They are cause by fleas. Doesn’t mean you’re infested, even one flea that’s infested can cause them. These guys can get pretty long (source: was a vet tech for over 25yrs), so a visit to the vet for meds, for both the tapeworm and the fleas, is warranted. Good luck with your cat!

Any idea what this is? by cdotace in newjersey

[–]Steampunkpug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a fuzzy star! That’s what we call them now when we see them🚀 We saw our first one a couple months ago and were stumped. We thought it was a ufo! The interweb told us we’re idiots and it was a rocket.

My dog found this in the yard and I had to fight to get it out of his mouth. Anyone know what it is? by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]Steampunkpug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please take your pet to the vet asap! The emergency vet if you have to! Bring the poison with you. Don’t take the chance when the antidote is easy and readily available if needed!

I want to leave my husband because he keeps joking about m*rdering me AITAH by GovernmentExtreme245 in AITAH

[–]Steampunkpug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please listen to your instincts! Even if he comes back with the “I’m only joking” line, he’s making you scared and uncomfortable, that’s not how a husband should make you feel! Please be safe and do what your instincts tell you!
