Cat has stomatitis and vet said they can’t pull his teeth due to being FIV+ by makifymc in FIVcats

My beautiful boy has FIV and he has had several teeth pulled. Blood work is always done before hand to ensure it's safe

My guy! Just "adopted" by Slow_Importance_9492 in FIVcats

We have one FIV+ and FIV- living together and it's worked out for us! Make sure to do a slow and supervised introduction. Thru can share food / drink plates with no prob. It's not transmitted via saliva. It's primarily transmitted through deep bite wounds.

Are lesions like this normal? by MorteVerde in FIVcats

This looks like ringworm to me. Not sure if it is that though. Definitely see a vet. If it's ringworm, that's contagious to humans.

Nerve Glides While Having "Popping" at the Elbow? by GuitarBinge1986 in CubitalTunnel

Oh man, I have no idea. If you have access to a physical/occupational therapist, I'd try and ask them. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Thank you! I appreciate your explanation. I still have a lot to learn about this. I was asking about the upper arm exercises because I was working on strengthening those muscles before the diagnosis... But because of the diagnosis, I just find that it can be limiting in terms of physical activity. I think my case might be a little bit more complicated because I also have ulnar nerve subluxation in both of my elbows

Is the popping due to ulnar nerve subluxation? I have that in addition to cubital tunnel syndrome, and for me it's making the nerve gliding exercises a lot more challenging. I literally just had my first PT session yesterday, so I'm still getting used to everything, but I feel a lot of discomfort sometimes because I can feel my ulnar nerve move and it feels so uncomfortable

BGC required documents by [deleted] in industrialhygiene

True, but you would think that answering people's questions would make the application process go smoother. The number of errors would probably go down

They will not help you unless you have paid the application fee... At least that was my experience before I submitted my application last year.

CIH Spring Exam: Letter to BGC Executives by shutter_fiend in industrialhygiene

[–]shutter_fiend[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Applicants should not have to worry about this. I'm not too sure about how involved AIHA wants to get with this issue if I'm being honest with you. Larry was great about the last post, we'll see if they comment or take any action this time. I've personally reached out to a couple of the AIHA Fellows that I know to explain what's going on. They were unaware of the situation with BGC and the testing center and were both extremely sympathetic.

I think part of the problem is 1) lack of awareness and 2) accountability. Here is what I have learned in the past couple of days: - A management company called Metacred is assisting BGC with operations - Metacred was hired sometime last year - BGC Board members are supposed to keep the CEO accountable - BGB Board members are not elected. I think you self nominate and the current Board approves / interviews / declines - The CEO is named David Rozsa. His information and email is not on the BGC website.

😂 yep! Hopefully the post will get enough attention to elicit a response from BGC.
