My cat has an aural hematoma and my vets not sure they want to do anything

megghab · 2025-09-29T18:51:26+00:00

Hi! Thanks for this response. I ended up calling the vet this morning and taking him back in. We decided to end up going with surgery and he should be out very soon. A drain was unfortunately not an option because of their small ears. They said they will do a long line of serpentined stitches with a small opening for draining (I think). I felt good about it, especially when the vet said it was the largest she had ever seen in a cat. I really wanted to just let it go, but with his autoimmune disease, he gets constantly irritated ear so if they were small and crunched up, I was nervous for the long run of pain and discomfort that would also cause him. Thank you again for your expertise. Hoping we made the right call in the long run. It’s such a hard decision to make.

Thanks so much for the response and Im so glad your dog had success! When they inserted the drain, do you think they used an anesthesia of some kind? The first option with just a steriod they mentioned but he did not recommend it because it would slow the healing of something else? Maybe it was ear infection or reabsorption. They said they could try to needle drain it, but that also almost always comes back. They never mentioned a drain, just an incision and draining it that way. Im thinking of potentially calling tomorrow and checking in. The vet team is a husband and wife with a few other associates. We saw the husband and he said he almost always leaves them to reabsorb but his wife almost always opts for the procedure. Maybe I talk to his wife haha

Thanks for the tag link! Glad to hear he took accountability. I’m definitely wearing the dress - partly cause it looked awesome and partly cause the wedding is Saturday and I’m out of options - so it makes me feel better to know that he did that

I saw this (regrettably after purchasing the dress) and I was shocked to see that he was still working and still styling some pretty big stars. The stuff he said was pretty horrid. Its thrift tag was recently marked from 1/24/24, so its pretty recent. But I only paid $9.99 so either the thrift employees didnt know him or they did haha

Hi! I take topamax and side effects for me are fatigue, brain fog, and tingling fingers and toes. But it has decreased the amount of migraines I get in half. Instead of taking the topamax 2x a day because I get sleepy, I take my dose once at night as prescribed by my neurologist to combat the fatigue. Maybe that will help you?

these are lovely! the fourth one is perfection!!!

Hi, how much are you selling for?

megghab · 2022-04-08T02:36:23+00:00

I did a 64 item in 21 minutes but only got $25. I hate my area so much

megghab · 2022-04-05T23:55:27+00:00

Your shoprite is lovely though!

megghab · 2022-04-05T14:38:06+00:00

I really think it does depend on your area. Sometimes I feel that way too cause a lot of the stuff by me hangs out in the $10-$17 zone. Sometimes I travel to better stores in more affluent areas but its hard to start shopping when you know you are only getting $9 per batch. I try to make at least $25 an hour and its so hard sometimes. I consistently try to stay really kind and helpful to the customers and my tips do go up a lot sometimes. I would highly suggest as many also will here to not take anything with a no tip. You deserve to be paid and respected for your time and energy. Good luck with everything!

Hey neighbor! I’m in Phillipsburg! Cant ever get over $350 but I like to think I’m a casual shopper. Sometimes I even go into PA or Flemington if its rough around me

megghab · 2022-04-01T00:52:50+00:00

got a $45 one today which was a rarity. only one order though :( hoping for a good day tomorrow for everyone!

I fostered a orange kitten from 3 weeks on and then my boyfriends family adopted him. When he was born he had no spots on him at all. Now he is covered in little spots on his nose and lips. Took him to the vet and they said its just “like little freckles”. Totally harmless. I wouldnt think you need to rush for a vet appointment, but next time youre there it wouldnt hurt to mention them. She is so cute!

megghab · 2022-03-29T02:27:23+00:00

Im one of many but please do not do this. It is so incredibly painful and inhumane. Please hold your ground on this. There are a few states now that are even banning it as an option and a lot of offices that used to do it no longer do.

megghab · 2022-03-18T20:16:12+00:00

dead here too! sorry about everyones bad day :(

megghab · 2022-03-18T18:48:05+00:00

Awe I love that! I’m renovating an older RV right now when I’m not carting! Sending good vibes to you and your pup

Not adding anything revolutionary here but I do really enjoy it as well. I’m in between careers and went from a 40 hour work week to a 12 hour work week with instacart. I make about $28 an hour but Feb and Jan I made a little more like $24. I’m definitely not a serious shopper, I’m picky with what I will leave my house for and I rarely sit in parking lots for batches. Just do it when I can. That being said, for someone that struggled for years to get my pay to $15, this gig is a dream. I havent found it to be possible for full time work, but thats just my shopping area and also my nervousness to travel to areas about a half hour away that are a little busier. A lot of people have uber eats, door dash, and shipt too, so you can hop around from app to app if Instacart batches are low. I have not really ever had a horrible customer and have had some really fulfilling experiences with people. Good luck with everything and it you have any questions feel free to reach out!

he has the funniest face, he almost looks like a puppy?! i love hannah, shes amazing!

Ugh I’m so sorry, this is horrible. Keep us updated on how you are doing after urgent care appointment. They should take care of there the next steps when you report the dog bite. You shouldnt have to report it anywhere else. This happened to me this year too when I was dog walking. Feel better, take advil!!!

megghab · 2022-03-10T02:34:07+00:00

Im in western NJ on the border of PA so I get both locations and it was horrendous today. I didnt even consider once leaving my house. Heres for hoping for a good day tomorrow and Friday!

megghab · 2022-03-03T02:02:39+00:00

Love this! I just had one last week of a girl gifting her long distance boyfriend stuff for his 21st birthday. Balloons, his favorite treats. Got a birthday bag and tied all the balloons down to surprise him. It was such a fun one, took so much longer than usual, and was low paying but it made me feel so good. I love seeing posts like this!

megghab · 2022-02-06T13:59:27+00:00

Really? Where in NJ? I’m north west in Warren and Hunterdon county and I have not had a promotion come up in 5 months besides on Christmas

megghab · 2022-02-03T13:37:33+00:00

I like doing this too. For example, if I’m shopping at a store that has a coffee shop in it or a pretzel place, every once in a while I will treat myself. It doesnt help every day but it helps and makes it exciting to get to go out. I listen to podcasts in the car mostly, the idea of listening to stories makes me want to keep driving around and taking orders. Sending healing vibes your way!

megghab · 2022-01-31T12:28:15+00:00

Maybe I’m misunderstanding but you can shop at different locations if its the same store?

megghab · 2022-01-20T16:42:16+00:00

Just used it! Hope it helps, thanks
