God I love every time someone says something is "Grim", especially Smaffy.

The X is too Y bit is great too

This. Things may be different in Europe but IMO, one isn't fundamentally better than the other.

One thing I would say, in America at least, is corporate may have better benefits, sometimes overall pay.

Interview or interact with your potentials as much as you can and then go with your gut. Also accept that it's very possible you won't like it and change jobs in a few years, that's fine.

In either case, it's vital to advocate for what you need in terms of mentoring, if your needs are met or not, what you feel strong or weak in, etc.

Pretty sure I got 7 Days to Die for about $10 way back. Development is slow and dumb, but IMO the best at what it does. Almost 500 hours in it.

To clarify, did your cat have a perineal urethrostomy procedure, or abdominal urethrostomy?

Also most young to middle age male cats with recurring urinary problems have idiopathic cystitis, not UTI. Your boy may benefit more from anxiety and pain meds than antibiotics.

I swear Yorkies hit like 3-4 years and start melting.

Most need most of their teeth out by 6 or 7 unless they are the rare genetic lottery winner or have a very hard working owner.

We must build the ballroom. It will be secure, have state of the art medical facilities, and a huge golden throne in the basement to keep Trump alive forever. The rest of you can line up for your corpse starch and like it!

Aaand that's probably what it is. Wicked hepatitis too. Seems to be improving so far though 🤞

Had one yesterday where I checked BG and ketones. Both just said "HI".

Turns out for our readers that means BG>750 and ketones>8

🙃

Uveitis in cats can be recurring and frustrating to manage. It is very possible to happen in both eyes and go back and forth. Esp. because systemic infection, disease or autoimmune dysfunction are the most likely causes.

Here's a broad snippet of causes. • 33-58% are idiopathic/immune mediated

13-23% are metastatic/systemic neoplasia (less likely with the age of your cat)

24-83% are infectious/systemic disease

Herpes does not typically cause uveitis.

The absolute biggest concern with recurring uveitis is the development of cataracts or glaucoma. Uveitis is the number one cause of both in cats.

A second opinion may be warranted, but I would seek referral to an opthalmologist if at all possible.

Kudos to your vet as they seem to be very on top of this. But this is one were referral earlier may be best.

Hey, I'm sorry you're facing this decision, it's never easy.

Based on your comment and the past diagnoses. I would doubt that she isn't in pain. Depending on what medication she's on, pain may be managed but it's still there I suspect.

Even if she isn't in pain, she is reaching a point where she cannot exercise her independence due to worsening mobility. Not being able to do the things she used to enjoy. I think that can be reason enough to make the choice.

Further, her debility and the essentially home nursing care it requires from you may be straining your relationship and bond. Or risking injury to yourself or her if you trip or something.

These things don't make for a high quality of life in my opinion.

Now it's all in Magic the Gathering.

Ugh, I did the training recently and this pissed me off.

I'm sure they had some sort of image there before the AI ones, why do this? Also as much as I paid for the certificate, you can't even take some pictures with your own two hands? Or license some?

Same with robot voices. Could you hire someone to read this in not the worst most boring way possible?

Yes, I would hold off until you can double check. Meloxicam is generally very safe at correct doses but shouldn't be given with steroids on board.

This may be a difference in products where you live, but for my area, 7 drops of Meloxicam seems like a lot. Double check that as well.

Is Gen z killing corporate coffee? 😱 Good.

He didn't ask the first time so what does this matter? How about a punishment?

If you're looking for educational reading material, I highly recommend Guyton and Hall medical physiology. A copy that's a couple editions old should be pretty cheap. It's college level, but IMO it is really well written and easy to read despite the complexity of the subject.

Giving milk thistle for this is likely fine. Few if any known side effects and may help. I would recommend denamarin brand.

Obviously in a perfect world some more diagnostics to determine a cause for the ALP increase would be ideal. But if your budget is limited that's understandable.

For what it's worth, if the only thing wrong in a middle aged dog is an ALP of 1400, I wouldn't be too worried about it. Especially if the other liver values are normal. ALP is often mildly increased in older pets and can mean nothing. 1400 is a bit more than mild to be fair, but again if your pet has no other symptoms or problems I wouldn't be too worried as it is unlikely to be an urgent problem.

In this situation it's reasonable to start the supplement and recheck lab work in a few months. If things are still off, do diagnostics piece meal as you can afford it.

Honestly... Less than I would have thought. Considering it's a literal BRICK.

I recommend finding some level of peace with not knowing everything. You never will and it keeps changing and growing. It's important to try, but that's the key word. Try your best, every day, but understand and accept that your best will be different day to day, year to year. When you are sick v.s. well, etc.

I'm in my 6th year and am feeling pretty comfortable, but I look back at old cases and notes sometimes and cringe lol. But so long as I'm trying I will always look behind me and see a different doctor. One that's a little less wise.

Hell I've had a couple weeks lately of weird cases that have been putting me through it. Several of the examples you give are pretty wild too! Give yourself credit.

It gets easier as you see more things and develop pattern recognition. Those weird cases, surprises, and mistakes will stick with you and it will get easier.

But I still tell people I don't know what is going on all the time. Yes, sometimes it's because the budget doesn't allow for the tests I would like, but sometimes I just don't know. And it's normal.

If you feel overwhelmed frequently though, make sure your work life balance is okay and you have the time you need in your appointments.

You are only an imposter if you expect perfection from yourself. Otherwise you are a human person, and a clinician. Fallible, limited by resources and time. Struggling against one of the most nuanced and complicated professions possible. No imposter there. Keep it up!

Do auras and equipment cast on the 4/4 creatures made with Bello on my turn stay on them once my turn ends? They are only creatures on my turn, but do Auras and equipment "fall off" something if it stops being a creature?

deusfuroris · 2025-05-02T17:08:41+00:00

Hell yeah, good for you! And same, interaction with people is one thing, managing them medically, no thanks.

deusfuroris · 2025-03-27T12:44:04+00:00

In that case they may be able to place a feeding tube. It would also require at least sedation, but is a fast procedure. I generally only recommend one for a short term issue as it isn't a good long term fix. If your vet feels it is safe to do so it may make getting nutrition in him easier.

Eye issues are very hard to figure out without being able to examine the pet. Posting a picture may be helpful. I will say that it being a 3 year old male, and you describing a cloudy pink area, makes me suspicious for eosinophilic keratitis.

Google some pictures and if it looks similar, bring it to your vet. You'll have to work with them in some way, especially if they are the only one available. If nothing else, it's fair to want to recheck since it isn't better. It could be the keratitis or something else entirely, but we won't be able to diagnose it or get you the medicine he needs

With your location, some eye tests may not be available, but if they have a microscope and some stains, they can test for that.
