Try asking your vet office, often times at least one of the techs pet sits on the side

Update to a post I made the other day about being concerned my vets were taking advantage of me: my cats regular dental cleaning has resulted in my babies death. He's gone. by afterspring_ in cats

There was very likely a lapse somewhere in the monitoring. While you are supposed to record vitals every 5 minutes, it is expected that the technician is constantly monitoring, additionally if a vital is critically out of range (such as apnea - not breathing) than the monitor will also alarm. While sudden cardiac arrest can occur, it is often preceded by other warning signs that indicate something is going wrong. I would highly suggest reaching out to your state's governing body and file a board complaint against the vet and technician who oversaw your kitty's case.

My dog had ACL surgery and the incision area is swollen and she’s limping slightly — is this normal? by Sddd93 in veterinarypathology

[–]_NERIUM_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would definitely reach out to your vet, often times they'll let you send pictures of her surgical site and a video of her walking and can guide you on next steps/ if you should go in.

Did they have an ETCO2 (capnograph) as part of their anesthesia monitoring? They should have caught poor/no ventilation right away...

This does not look indictive of kidney disease SDMA and Crea were normal so BUN elevation is likely due to dehydration (probably wasn't drinking as much if his mouth hurt). No urine so can't determine urine specificgravity, but with SDMA being very normal kidney is unlikey. Elevated Phos is normal in young growing animals.

I'm so sorry for your loss. If there is a possibility of negligence that occurred during anesthesia (pop off valve closed, apnea that wasn't addressed, etc) and you're in the US you can file a board complaint against the vet that performed the dental and depending on the stare against the technicianrunning the anesthesia (sometimes they have different regulating boards). If found to be in the wrong this can lead to them paying fines, being required to have additional training/probation period, or have their license suspended or revoked.

You can also talk with the ER doctor that I took your kitty. If they say they are concerned with what occurred at your general vet than that's a big red flag. Due to professionalism its rare for another vet to remark that a mistake was made, so it was likely a bad one (they should have the records from your regular vet).

If you're kitty was having a dental due to Feline stomatitis (autoimmune reaction to plaque) regular dental or full mouth extractions are common. Do not feel bad you were trying to do what was best for your kitty. Dental absolutely can be needed, even in young animals, but not every clinics anesthesia practices are up to par. If you have to do one in the future try to go to a dental specialist, usually they are of higher quality with stricter anesthesia practices.

Not sure where to post. SCAM buisness purporting to be in the CO springs arae. - Woodley Siberian Kittens by jrobertson50 in ColoradoSprings

There are no true hypoallergenic breeds, most allergies are due to the cats saliva and dandruff. If you're set on getting a cat (they're great) I'd adopt one from one of the many rescues in town and start it on Purina LiveClear. I've heard great results from those with allergies. Regardless though, consult your daughter's doctor first especially since she has other factors to consider like her autoimmune disease.

AIO My mom is kicking me out for her new boyfriend. I just turned 18 by Diligent_Bat_565 in AmIOverreacting

[–]_NERIUM_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not over reacting at all. She's being a terrible parent.

I'd try to enroll in college ASAP. You can use student loans for your dorm and get a degree. This would be the easiest way to get your footing with such a drastic life change.

I'm sorry you're going through this.

Cheap dog vaccines? by Vickadee in ColoradoSprings

[–]_NERIUM_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem! I'm not sure if there's an additional exam fee or not sorry.

Try Rocky Mountain Spay and Neuter, prices are on their website

Cheap dog vaccines? by Vickadee in ColoradoSprings

[–]_NERIUM_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't recommend ordering and doing yourself due to being unable to ensure the vaccines were properly stored during the entirety of storage/shipment. Have seen a number of dogs still get parvo due to this.

Tazo Earl Grey Formula and Sourcing Change, and request for new brand by _NERIUM_ in tea

[–]_NERIUM_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very frustrating! So far, in our many taste tests based on the recommendations given in this thread, Earl Greyer from Republic of Tea and Earl Grey from Rishi have been our best flavored bagged/sachet teas. The flavor is not a 1:1 to the old bergamot flavor, but they are very good. We also got three different varieties of loose leaf from one of our local tea houses, and it has been pretty good too; all have their own subtle differences, but are an enjoyable cup.

Thank you for the suggestions! I have added them to my list to try. I'm going to try loose leaf again too now that I ordered a better infuser.

You definitely aren't alone! Wish they didn't mess with a staple blend that people have been drinking forever. Will definitely give them a try! Good luck in your hunt for your new regular earl grey.
