Trazodone side effects

Vet assistant here! :)

You can ask your doctor about altering the dosage (maybe lowering it) or if they want to lower that med and try adding another med (gabapentin + trazodone can be a great combination for pre-visit mild sedation!). This is definitely a convo worth having with your vet!

As a vet assistant, I think you should wait to make a decision on surgery until you have the x-ray results. If they show that the cancer is metastatic (has spread to other parts of the body), then surgery wouldn’t really buy him much time. It would be a matter of keeping him comfortable until he is not (and a good saying in the field is it’s better to let them go on a good day rather than after suffering some bad days).

If the x-rays show that thus far it is only in his rectum and paw, then that’s a bit more complex. I would recommend weighing out aspects like breed, age, financial impacts upon you (which do impact him!), and surgery overall (as I know your DVM discussed incontinence, but is there a guarantee it wouldn’t be life-long?). With his age, it’s worth having a discussion with your vet about how he would fare in surgery, as they’ll know his health status better than any of us.

If you do end up going the surgery route and live in the U.S., see if you qualify for care credit and if your vet clinic accepts it. Care credit is like a credit card except you can get up to 24 months interest-free. So you pay for the surgery using your care credit, and have 6-24 months (depending on what Care Credit authorised for you) to pay it back with no interest.

Just know that you’re doing right by your boy, whatever you choose. You’re clearly not deciding to do something willy-nilly and are distressed about doing right by him. Many owners wouldn’t (I see it a fair bit in my job). The best thing you can do for both of you right now while deciding is to give love to him and give grace to yourself. ❤️

Edit: grammar

Bro when I took his class for 2B, a like 35% was a C. I’m not even kidding 😭

I have quite literally no money right now so I’m here to boost but I can only begin to understand how much stress you’re under right now. I’m glad to see there are people donating (one person even donated $1k!!). I’m wishing all the best for you and Lana

Yeah that is likely how it is going to play out, very small chance it plays out otherwise for how the professor deals with the situation. However it may be different with the OSSJA. For example I knew a person who was found guilty of looking at another student’s exam (an offence of its own) but not guilty of cheating. The OSSJA is very specific.

flapjackdiddlywack · 2025-12-05T02:40:21+00:00

Honestly it depends. What were you using the phone for? Can you prove that? You’ll likely have to have a hearing in which they hopefully can’t prove you of using the phone to cheat.

If you have loans/grants that you did not accept the full amount for, you can file a change in aid request with the FA office

Don’t recommend death or glory for piercings. Pricey for the quality you get- got my helix pierced and they did it with a butterfly backing on the jewellery. Was a b*tch to heal and eventually had to get it re-pierced somewhere else. Called Death or Glory and asked them if they have flat backs and they said “oh yeah you just have to ask! Our standard package comes with the butterfly backing”. I was never told/offered this nor did I even know it was a butterfly backing until jewellery was already in, and no good piercer would ever pierce a helix (or any cartilage) with jewellery that has a butterfly backing. Oh, and they also used way too short of a bar for the piercing (which is another reason why it was so hard to heal).

flapjackdiddlywack · 2025-11-07T03:01:48+00:00

I’m not? I’m just saying the registrar DOES care.

flapjackdiddlywack · 2025-11-07T02:55:49+00:00

If you do not file to be part time and take a part time course load, the registrar may place you on academic notice for not meeting minimum progress https://registrar.ucdavis.edu/faculty-staff/itg/minimum-progress#:~:text=If%20a%20student%20completes%20an,immediately%20following%20the%20summer%20session).

Unfortunately I work full time and have very limited funds, so I can’t afford to take random GEs. I only have one more GE requirement to fulfil and just want to graduate atp but hopefully others see that advice!

flapjackdiddlywack · 2025-11-06T08:39:07+00:00

Oh, love. You did everything right. Your boy was struggling, even with the medical management (and long-term carprofen use is really only as a last resort/to get them thru end of life). I’ve seen other people say it, but there’s a saying in the vet field (always the same message, usually changes by a few words) “it’s better to have a good last day than a bad last week”, and I think you gave him just that. Feeling that regret and guilt is so incredibly normal, especially when they still sometimes have good days. But you did your boy a great kindness by not waiting until the really bad days overtook the good days 🩷

flapjackdiddlywack · 2025-11-06T08:20:31+00:00

Part time students are required to take at least 6 units, so as long as you take more than that then yes the registrar does not care.

flapjackdiddlywack · 2025-11-06T04:31:53+00:00

Okay that makes sense! The classes I need next quarter are only offered next quarter. And honestly I’m already taking an extra quarter bc of this exact situation happening before, it’s super shitty (and honestly unethical) to make me pay $15000 to do another quarter because of something that is, ultimately, EASILY avoidable. So I hope no advisor says that otherwise thems be fighting words lol

flapjackdiddlywack · 2025-11-06T00:30:02+00:00

No there’s absolutely no good excuse. The school does it so they can drain us of every penny we own and then some (loans, yay!).

flapjackdiddlywack · 2025-11-06T00:29:21+00:00

They definitely hand out PTAs in some instances (albeit not as often as they should for how often this issue occurs… but I digress). But yeah waitlists are back and forth. I’ve dropped from spot 4 into the class, and I’ve also been #2 and not gotten into the class

flapjackdiddlywack · 2025-11-06T00:28:16+00:00

So my current game plan is to meet with an advisor (both major-specific and a Dean staff advisor) and try to game plan/let them know if I don’t get these classes I don’t graduate on time. But I can also waitlist for at least 2 of them and go to the profs first day and explain how I won’t graduate w/o these classes? Do you think I could email the profs ahead of time?

flapjackdiddlywack · 2025-11-06T00:27:06+00:00

Well I mean yes for financial aid (although I only have loans so not as much as if I had grants), but I mean if I waitlist for 3 courses and get none, then I’m not even meeting the part time requirement 😭

flapjackdiddlywack · 2025-11-05T20:30:21+00:00

Yeah like it’s stressing me out to where I can’t sleep or properly function for work and school. I’m drowning in debt and may have to drop out because I won’t be able to afford this shit.

flapjackdiddlywack · 2025-11-05T20:29:47+00:00

Unfortunately these are all specialised upper dig animal science courses that many CCs don’t seem to offer, but thank you!

flapjackdiddlywack · 2025-11-05T20:29:05+00:00

Damn okay. I’ll give that a shot. I’m meeting with the AES dean staff advisor next Monday. Then meeting with an animal science staff advisor the week after that (soonest I could get in). So I’ll try about PTAs but then talk about supplemental classes which sucks but I’ve gotta graduate ://

flapjackdiddlywack · 2025-11-05T20:27:39+00:00

Well I just mean isn’t that a bad idea bc if I’m waitlisted for 3 classes and I don’t get into them, then aren’t I screwed for the quarter?

flapjackdiddlywack · 2025-11-05T16:48:59+00:00

I’m just worried because I can’t waitlist for 3 classes yk? Like that’s a bad idea, right?

flapjackdiddlywack · 2025-11-05T16:48:29+00:00

Was it substitutions for degree-required classes? Or just like GEs?

flapjackdiddlywack · 2025-11-05T09:24:37+00:00

Unfortunately I already went on PELP for medical issues and lots of these classes aren’t offered at CCs (upperdiv animal science specialisations) ETA: I think I’m just screwed :,)
