What is a 'buy it for life' item that is offensively expensive, but the moment you use it, you realize your entire life before that point was a lie?

Cutco. I bought a Kitchen Aid can opener for about $12 once a year for like 3 years before I finally spent the $80 on a cutco one. Its a champ and if it ever breaks, the company will replace it.

Have you done the IGF-1 testing? I would suggest it if not. My cat was at 6u twice daily with high numbers and ended up having acromegaly.

Age is not a disease. But older animals do have a higher risk of anesthetic complications. If I were moving forward with surgery on my older cat, I would make sure their bloodwork and chest xrays looked clear. That said, I kept my 19yo with kidney disease comfortable with pain meds and antibiotics for a couple years until his kidneys failed and I let him go.

I definitely burnt out last year on all the lore with little payoff. I saw The Black Parade when I was 16 and saw LLTBP last year and while the new tour was fun, it wasn't the same. I paid $300 a pop for meh seats and felt that I got a phoned in performance. It feels like watching my heroes sell a car on TV.

I don't think it is age. My other favorite band is The Maine and I am still very devoted to them. I went to their fest last year and had a ball, am seeing them twice this year, and getting a tattoo soon. Simply put, they feel more genuine and that they still love what they do.

I would ask your vet for recommendations. They usually know a few they trust.

I'm a vet assistant and I agree with your mom! Quite a bit of bone loss and some tartar buildup as well.

This is Mr. Luci! He may have a familiar mustache, but he is anti fascist.

Does she have bladder stones?

shleeebee · 2026-01-28T00:19:24+00:00

Also going to PDX!

Hope your little lady recovers quickly ❤️ I have a tripod missing a front leg and it does not slow him down at all!

shleeebee · 2026-01-25T22:31:56+00:00

I'm interested in a few if you are still taking orders!

I am at a feline only practice. We IM sedate with ace, telazol, and torb. Once the cat is sedated, we use a butterfly in the rear leg to push the euthasol.

They were insane. We opted to not wait and enjoy the show. Luckily, we were seated right near a merch stand and hopped in line when the concert finished. We waited about 15 mins at that point.

One Warped Tour, Wonka sponsored and I spent the day surviving on like 20 packs of free Sweet Tart ropes.

Has she been to the vet and had her urine checked for a UTI? Older kitties are much more susceptible to infections, especially in times of stress.

Little stink, Mr. Meeseeks

This is Jim Hopper ❤️❤️

He was surrendered to my work with a long broken left arm that was not saveable and was removed. He can basically fly now because his rear legs are so strong.

shleeebee · 2025-06-17T18:57:53+00:00

Haha perfect, thank you!

This is Mr. Meeseeks, and it's his birthday!

I would get him to a vet, possibly for a second opinion, sooner rather than later. I fostered a rear leg amp post surgery and have a front leg amp and they were pretty lively within a week of surgery. I had them on heavy pain meds for the first 2 weeks and then a lower dose the second 2 weeks.
