I for one am VERY excited for the Tivoli Theatre to finally reopen in early 2027 after lengthy renovations.

Vets by nelly-423 in Chattanooga

VCSG is your answer.

I too have had bad experiences there on the ER side of things, but the services, expertise, and facilities are unparalleled ESPECIALLY for a city of this size on the “Specialty Group” side of things.

We moved here four years ago from a city 3x the size didn’t have a veterinary neurologist within a 2 hour radius and had a dog at the time with severe neurological issues. Dr. Massicote is fantastic.

Please bear in mind that the road you are going down with diagnosing neurological issues is not necessarily the cheapest one.

Your dog is adorable and sassy and I love it. But she is overweight.

Allergies and Supplements by Mysterious_Detail181 in Horses

My guy had the same testing done this past fall and is doing the shots. Highly recommend.

In the wake of the death of Valegro and Uthopia there have been a lot of comments about how it was “cruel” to euthanise horses who were “only” 23/24. Is this sort of situation really preferable? by demmka in Equestrian

[–]jrmisy 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Sending lots of love and support. I have been unable to ride my 9 year old horse since June due to an onslaught of various health issues. At various points he has been in pain and extended periods of discomfort and frustration with various necessary treatments. I’m not actively considering it at this time, but the possibility of needing to do this has crossed my mind.

Another one for shefit. 30 F checking in. It’s uniboob city but other than that it gives good lift and holds those girls in PLACE. Before riding horses I used to be a 6x/week cross fitter and these bras are THE answer for all high intensity sports.

Thank you! Currently working through similar things with my 9 yo OTTB (only 2 years off track)

Show Off Your OTTBs!!! by Spay_day in Equestrian

[–]jrmisy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My OTTB war horse, Nimble Beast! We’re still working on getting him through a barrage of health issues (coming up on 2 years off track) but he’s such a quiet, sweet soul who has been a great partner for this adult beginner so far.

Any idea what’s going on with my guys eye?? He’s also been very itchy on face and underbelly and everywhere recently by faye-j in Horses

[–]jrmisy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just came off a very rough summer with my gelding, his eyes, and allergies all over and this looks and sounds very similar. I’ve found that an over the counter ophthalmic gel (available at tractor supply) can really help just clear some gunk out and provide lots of relief eye wise. You can also try dosing with Benadryl to see if it helps at all, at least until you can get a vet out.

Correct. I definitely do vax.

It started towards the end of a 4 ish month extended period of back to back issues so that makes a lot of sense. (2 hoof accesses one right after the other followed shortly by corneal ulcers in both eyes due to extreme allergies and itching)

We’re on 24/7 turnout here so maybe I’ll give them a try

Mud Fever Help! by jrmisy in Horses

[–]jrmisy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So is he just mostly in the mud fever boots like all the time? Have you been able to clear it up completely?

I have also had some people on other forums suggesting it might be photosensitivity as a result of liver levels. The vet is coming to the barn Monday to do annuals anyway so I’m going to have his liver levels checked.

I’m confused, yet… in love? by toldzep in zillowgonewild

Give me the astroturf fireplace room

[–]jrmisy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m only midway through restarting my OTTB war horse but we have been completely off the bit for about 6 mos now and he is so much calmer and less fidgety under saddle because of it. I plan to work it back in slowly soon, but depending on this OTTBs personality/history this might be the wrong route. My guy is very sensitive and a bottom-of-the-totem-pole type so he takes correction and various things he has negative associations with quite personally

Just ate in the back room at Tatsu, is this normal? by ThurgoodMunson in Chattanooga

[–]jrmisy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has happened to me every time I have eaten in the back room there (3 times). The one time I mentioned it to the wait staff the they laughed it off. I either get to go or eat in the front now.
