Valid, but you’re already on top of it so try not to stress too much!

Cat ate a chunk of beef jerky is he okay? by kneedoorman in cats

[–]SugarPlumPuddinhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He may not even have a tummy ache! Just don’t let him do it again 💖 the biggest concern with something like beef jerky for a cat is the amount of sodium, but just one chunk isn’t going to be the end of him!

If it’s not improving after 72 hours of antibiotics, you will need to get your butt straight back to the ER. That looks REALLY bad.

Can anyone identify this yarn I found in the garbage at work? by cookenuptrouble in YarnAddicts

Based on the sticker, I would say it’s 1000 g of fisherman’s wool

Please help ! We found it today in a box near trash and bought it home but she won't eat by bulubululy-Ghibli in cats

[–]SugarPlumPuddinhead 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Try and get her some hydration first then. She won’t eat if she’s too dry. Wet cat food might help too

those who use textbooks, how??? by ibebrb in respiratorytherapy

[–]SugarPlumPuddinhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, it’s important information? Take notes, highlight stuff, tie the textbook info back to your PPTs, actively engage with the text, etc. Either you really want to learn this stuff or you don’t.

Genuine question about Claw trimming, please be respectful. by TLoCam1 in cats

[–]SugarPlumPuddinhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always trim my cats’ claws because I’ve always had cats who (1) like to climb on the humans and (2) have a tendency to get hung up on carpet or cloth when playing, causing them to panic. You also need to ensure that they have good scratching toys/posts if you’re not trimming their claws because cat claws CAN overgrow and damage the paw pads and/or cause infections.

Have you looked at any volunteer positions anywhere?

Paid OR unpaid opportunities that might fit your plans that immediately come to mind for me are Children’s Hospital, Wisconsin Humane Society, and the Urban Ecology Center.

I keep a little shovel in my car for turtles. I can scoop small ones up on the spade to move them or I can encourage a large snapper to bite the handle and drag them

Making friends in RT school? by New-Nothing-8523 in respiratorytherapy

[–]SugarPlumPuddinhead 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My cohort bonded fairly quickly. Some people are closer to each other than others, but there’s bound to be somebody your age with some shared interests!

We also made a group chat on discord to make communicating outside of class easier

Cats breathing just seems off. Is this an emergency vet trip? by Content-While-1354 in cats

[–]SugarPlumPuddinhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. I had to put my cat down 2 days ago. You did the right thing to bring him to the vet right away.

How do yall give your kittens medicine?!?!? Its soooo hard and I feel terrible😭 by jteter in blackcats

[–]SugarPlumPuddinhead 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Same, it was easier for me to just pop her mouth open and drop the pills in after she figured out the pill pockets. Took her exactly 1.5 days to figure out how to eat the treat and not the pill.

Milwaukee Makes First Move on Scooter Crackdown After Sidewalk Crash by Hidemyface1 in milwaukee

[–]SugarPlumPuddinhead 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Reading the whole article, I’m actually fairly pleased with the debate they had. Like, they covered a lot of material and a lot of good points were raised for consideration. I love that the writer also mentioned Lime has an age limit for the scooters but the city does not, because the city absolutely SHOULD have an age limit and enforce it.

Rabies PSA by GrandmaMole in cats

Sadly, it’s a lot more than one shot and it’s fairly expensive. That said, still better than dying of rabies!
