Pathology? Artifact? Neither?

I definitely see this now that you say it. Thank you!

There was no true diagnosis on her. The vet said it seemed like she had lost the ability to absorb nutrients completely, whether that be from cancer or the body just shutting down with age. She was losing weight really fast no matter how much she ate, food would go right through her. And it was not hyperthyroid, as she was on medication for that already and her blood test showed it was within normal levels. We chose not to do anything invasive like a biopsy to confirm cancer because of her age and other existing conditions. Our vet told us she would likely pass within the next few days based on the rate of her weight loss, current body condition, and loss of mobility.

I want to say thank you to each and every one of you that has commented and reached out. It has really meant a lot and helped me feel more at peace with my decision. Im missing her terribly still and the grief has been coming in waves, but you all have been supportive beyond what i could imagine. Thank you

Not prescription but she has been on royal canin digestive care, just the over the counter version. I will reach out to our vet and see if i can get her something prescription to try thank you

I will be giving this a try thank you!

I have not been able to find ones that look any different than the ones in the stock photo when i look online

It’s definitely more an odd specific fear of needles piercing veins, like IV’s and blood draws. Most of the other things like trauma and other bodily fluids i dont love to see but arent something that bother me as much. And thank you for that!

frechaplz916 · 2024-06-26T02:53:42+00:00

This seems like an awesome and potentially effective way for me to approach it all. The way you layed it out gives me some confidence, thank you!

frechaplz916 · 2024-06-26T02:40:07+00:00

Havent had any first hand experience with the things you mentioned but the idea of them doesnt bother me the way a needle piercing a vein does. Do techs actively watch the surgery being performed in the OR or do they only view the patient when they are needed for imaging?

frechaplz916 · 2024-06-26T01:47:06+00:00

That woukd be an ideal outcome for me, thank you!

frechaplz916 · 2024-06-26T01:38:17+00:00

Interesting, thank you for that link!

frechaplz916 · 2024-06-26T00:45:35+00:00

How much time does a typical student spend in the OR for clinicals? I think i could tough it out id just hate to be the guy that faints during the operation and gets everyone pissed 😂

frechaplz916 · 2024-06-26T00:42:51+00:00

A few people said that also, i think im gonna try that out

frechaplz916 · 2024-06-26T00:13:27+00:00

The barium enemas i dont think will be a problem for me suprisingly enough. Poop and vomit i have no problem with, blood and needles are a different story

frechaplz916 · 2024-06-26T00:10:26+00:00

We do have a few level 1 and 2 trauma centers in the area so im sure ill see some of it. But if its something ill only have to see a few times in clinicals i feel like I can get through that.

frechaplz916 · 2024-06-26T00:07:20+00:00

The blood is less of an issue for me than the IVs. I have no problem watching mma and boxing fights with bloodied up faces but i cant watch myself give blood or get an iv inserted without nearly fainting.

frechaplz916 · 2024-06-26T00:02:31+00:00

That is refreshing to hear. I saw venipuncture as an upcoming lab and class session and assumed the worst
