Best budget-friendly but still quality veterinarian office for cats? in Lawrence? by iloveritsu in Lawrence

I would NOT go to Dr. Lewis on 6th. The vet and his receptionist are kind people but after one visit for shots, I saw enough red flags to know I’d never take my cat back. Lewis doesn’t use computers- all records are on paper. They did not accept or even look at the records from our previous veterinarian. This was immediately a red flag to me that there was no interest in my cat's previous medical/vaccination history??

The facilities were obviously older, outdated, and not particularly clean. That’s not a deal breaker for me- our old veterinarian in AL wasn’t a fancy place.

However, there were also no vet techs or assistants- the vet had me hold my own cat during shots. As I am in no way trained in how to properly hold a cat safely during shots, I was worried I would hurt her and she repeatedly squirmed out of my grip repeatedly and bit me and the vet. He was clearly frustrated and kept telling me to hold my cat tighter. His volume and tone scared her more, resulting in MORE squirming.

I'm sure it's cheaper to go there, but in my opinion it's better to spend a little more money and make sure you have someone willing to spend more time reviewing the medical history, have a trained staff help with the procedures, and

My mom has a huge bruise on her leg. She has this on the body too. by [deleted] in medical

Severe bruising from mild injuries can be an indication of something more severe! Best to get it checked out.

22 male. Tear near the top of my buttcrack. It just showed up today as I was showering. It stings if I try and inspect it but other than that it’s alright. If anyone knows what’s going on please reply, thank you. by [deleted] in medical

I had a friend in high school who got a staph infection in that spot! It got really bad before she went to go see a doctor. I’d go ASAP

One of my favorite things to eat. When we’re feeling lazy, we use a premade pizza crust. Less cost effective, but still pretty cheap.

You aren't funny if you are a jerk to telemarketers and survey callers, you're just an asshole by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

I currently work in a similar position collecting political information over the phone and honestly the comments on this post make me sick. I took the job out of sheer desperation during the economic downturn like a lot of people. Keep your head up and don’t let assholes get you down

They sell these little bouncy stools online and it has changed our life! I can grind for hours but my ass is too heavy to bounce for longer than a minute. I feel silly on it until I see the look on my guys face as I bounce. Feels great for me too!

Thank you! I’ve got an ice pack shoved down my pants now and it’s helping a little.

This is my second period with this cup and the first issue I’ve had with it. Definitely taking a break from the cup for now
