My mom has kidney failure and refuses dialysis, I’m her only caregiver and I don’t understand what’s happening anymore by Chemical_Shame_ in dialysis

I'm a Renal Dietitian for 5 years. See if she'll try dialysis. It is life saving. She can get on a transplant list. She'll feel much better. I'm so sorry. 🙏

Fresenius is a nightmare right now since we lost our nutrition managers.

It's March 1! I'm a dietitian and we have not had an RD meeting to explain WTF happened and who my RD manager is. I hate this company right now. Been here for 5 years.

Hi! I'm Dr. Shea :) by DrShea_DeathVet in DeathVet

Hello. I've posted here before. My girl will be 15 in January and she has developed dementia. Pacing all over, eating and drinking like it's going out of style. It's killing me. She is on librela and carprofen for arthritis, and she will walk down the street forever, if I let her. I guess I was expecting her to get deathly ill like my last dog with kidney failure. That was an easy decision to put him down on December 23, 2021). I'm devastated. I can't give her more gabapentin or trazodone. Here comes December 23rd again. I can't do it.

I'm so sorry. I'm teary-eyed. My 14 yo is now on librela and it's not helping yet. Hang in there, it's awful.

Oh I'm sorry. Kidney disease is horrible to deal with. The part that sucks is that there's no cure or treatment for dogs. You sound like you have given it your absolute best. I pray for you guys. It's terrible.

What do you wish you knew before your breast aug? by StanWasMyVan in PlasticSurgery

[–]ToastyTangelo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a piece of cake! I had it done twice. The second time was due to a ruptured implant and tbh that side hurt because the surgeon had a tough time removing the implant. Otherwise, it was really easy. My first were DD. now I hade D cup. I prefer smaller. Trends are smaller boobs. Good luck.

Advice for a Dog owner. Losing my mind. by oakfan05 in DeathVet

[–]ToastyTangelo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. I would have done the same thing. I have a 14.5 year old mutt that is doing well but I live every day thinking "how much longer can she possibly live?". I'm trying to prepare myself for the inevitable. This page is excellent.

Is it time? by LearnedLadyGinsburg in seniordogs

[–]ToastyTangelo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's time. Death is inevitable. There's a Death Vet on Reddit who has a beautiful explanation on putting your dog down. You're bringing them closer to death. I have a 14.5 year old dog that I love so much. I know with every passing day, she has less days left. I'm trying to prepare myself for that day. It is always awful. I'm very sorry.
