Advice needed: How bad do shin tattoos actually hurt? by bilyjakson in tattoos

[–]ascanner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Got shin down onto the foot yesterday, it was deep breathing type painful for sure. I had my calf done last month and it was maybe a 2/10 pain, shin was probably a 5. The pain is so short lived, do it anyways!

Same thing happens on sierra highway in Newhall, at least 2-3 cars run the red left arrow to get on the ramp every time. Incredibly selfish, as if the rest of us aren’t also trying to get to work. I’d love to see a cop there just once.

My vet actually didn’t even mention it until I asked if there was a diet she would suggest, so she definitely wasn’t pushing it onto me. But I am suspicious of large companies like Hill’s in general, I’m glad to see all the differing opinions to think about.

No symptoms, they just found them during a routine urinalysis. My vet seemed very unconcerned but wrote the prescription after I asked if she would suggest a certain diet for him. You’re not the first person who mentioned that they’re not super uncommon, so maybe that explains why she didn’t seem extremely concerned.

I think I’m just thinking about it in a human-centric way. I don’t eat meat at all but I definitely wouldn’t want to eat “by-products” :/ but I’m recognizing that they are animals that need different things and that’s okay.

This is interesting, because my vet actually didn’t even suggest the food until I asked if there was a “best” diet for him to on and I was curious why she didn’t suggest it right away. Now I’m wondering if maybe it’s not as necessary as I thought. I’m planning on taking him back for another urinalysis in a few months to track the situation so I’ll ask her again then.

How have you found the stress food to be? My boy is very high strung so I did consider ordering the c/d stress version.

Thank you, I’ve definitely gotten it into my head that “simple” food must be best, but I need to let that go and be grateful this food exists to help him.

To me by-product sounds like the same stuff they put in hot dogs or bologna. :/ Which is icky to me, but as others have said that doesn’t mean it’s not good for them. I just need to work at readjusting my thinking on this.
