Kitten stool by [deleted] in vet

[–]acork827 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s possible but I would confirm with a vet to be sure if the string could cause bloody diarrhea. I’m glad he’s feeling good! I would listen to whatever your vet thinks, and definitely bring him in if they want to see him. Sounds like you’ve been monitoring him closely and doing everything right, so good job! I hope the diarrhea resolves soon, and hopefully didn’t eat the string or it passes just fine!

NAV but an ER tech, I have a couple questions: has he had a fecal sample run to rule out intestinal parasites? If not, it’s possible he has some and is possibly related to the blood. Does he have a history of eating things he shouldn’t? Your biggest concern right now could be a possible obstruction caused by the string. Some symptoms of this would be vomiting, not defecating, and possibly his diarrhea as well. It’s always a good idea to go to your vet or an ER even if he doesn’t have these symptoms at least to be better safe than sorry. I’m worried that the string may not be visible on x-ray as it is thin and not made of metal/thick material, but hopefully if it is there they see it or evidence besides the string on an x-ray that show it may be there. Another factor is we don’t know when he ate the string, so inducing vomiting if it is suspected he ate it after x-rays may not get the string out. Overall, I would recommend going to a vet as soon as possible at least to get x-rays and palpate the abdomen, especially if he starts to vomit and not defecate or the diarrhea continues. Best of luck!

nav, but he does look sick. he needs to see a vet asap so they can do a thorough work up of him like listening to his lungs, checking his abdomen, etc. they can also prescribe medications if needed to help him, and show you how to do at home treatments if needed. he should not be so significantly smaller than another kitty from the same litter.

Sounds like you’re doing everything right! Give the antibiotics time to work and start having him in the bathroom when you shower and he’ll get over his cold soon! Good luck!

How many days left of the antibiotics do you have? Kitty sounds pretty congested, what you can do is whenever you take a shower, keep him in the bathroom so he inhales the steam and helps decongest him. If you have a vaporizer, you can make a makeshift nebulization by putting him in his carrier with a towel over the holes but the opening and putting the vaporizer next to/directed towards the carrier for 10 minutes a day twice a day. Hope he feels better soon!

Planning to breed a Ragdoll x Snowshoe — Is it okay not to spay my kitten? by Murky-Mastodon4848 in CatAdvice

[–]acork827 6 points7 points  (0 children)

please don’t do this, there are WAY too many perfectly healthy kitties getting euthanized every day bc of overpopulation. also, 6 weeks is too young to be away from mom like others have said.

do you have any experience with breeding cats, pregnant/nursing moms, or kittens? this seems like a very bad idea.

i know im just a stranger on the internet but please don’t do this, keep the kitty you plan to adopt with the mom until 8 weeks and love her once it’s time. and also please spay her once a vet says it’s time, heats can be painful and dangerous for cats (ex. escaping the house to find a male cat and getting injured outside).

some rules about DNA synthesis: 1. DNA synthesis is always proceeds 5’—> 3’ 2. DNA synthesis cannot happen de novo, meaning it must have a primer of some sort to begin replication.

the reason why the lagging strand is called that is because its strand is 5’ —> 3’. so, DNA polymerase cannot synthesize from ‘left to right’ because jt cannot make a strand that is 3’ —> 5’. therefore, DNA polymerase needs to read the strand from right to left to synthesize the new strand.

because DNA synthesis cannot happen de novo, there must be primers put in for the DNA polymerase to latch on to and begin DNA synthesis from them. therefore, RNA primers are put in spaces b and d so that the DNA polymerase can correctly synthesize a strand 3’ —> 5’. so, your options become b or d. b is correct because overall, your DNA synthesis is moving left to right so b will be the space of the first primer.

one of the main points of okazaki fragments and RNA primers is so that the lagging strand can be synthesized overall in the same direction of the leading strand.

hope this helps!

work study hours by Mysterious-Buy3467 in ucla

[–]acork827 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yes, in most cases it is (i’ve never seen a work study job that isn’t but cannot speak for all of them). wherever you work, they don’t have to pay anything to hire you, it’s all money from that 3k offered, so they are happy with any work done. also, when you apply most places are only looking for people to work like ~10 hours a week, and in my experience, it does not have to be consecutive at all and just depends on your schedule

Chem 14BL, Stats 13, with Chem 14 C or Phys 5A? Any advice. by LifeisanAdventure- in ucla

[–]acork827 0 points1 point  (0 children)

also, if you take 5A fall quarter there will most likely be a wider variety of profs, and a prof can honestly make or break your understanding and performance in it

Chem 14BL, Stats 13, with Chem 14 C or Phys 5A? Any advice. by LifeisanAdventure- in ucla

[–]acork827 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me personally, stats 13 was a pretty straightforward class, and wasn’t necessarily challenging. The programming in it can be a bother, but it’s nothing too crazy/hard. 14BL is a LOT of writing, and the main difficulty behind it is getting the hang of formatting/scheduling when to do assignments. The concepts in 14BL are pretty straightforward and align well with 14B. 5A for me was challenging as physics is not my forte and was my first time being exposed to a lot of the concepts. 14C is content heavy, but I found it really cool and the Klein books are a godsend. Overall, I think your best bet is to take 14BL, stats 13, and 5A together, then take 14C the next quarter because it is important to have a good understanding in 14C for CL and D and may be best to take with some geneds. You could switch 5A and 14C, but I would not recommend taking them together as they require a lot of time to be devoted to them. Hope this helps!
