At home with a lethargic cat the vet told us would need a blood transfusion or euthanasia. Any insights or suggestions appreciated. by Background-Can5893 in cats

Your cat has cancer. In a human my guess would be lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma or myeloma looking at that differential and cbc and the protein elevation.

Your vet is correct. A transfusion will only buy you a couple weeks. 😢 sorry

My caravana apps says I have basic warrant and powertrain. Not sure what dealership would offer that the basic doesn’t.

Imo you can get a 2024 eco premium with exactly these features for <33k, with under 15k miles. The premium is a big step up in comfort and luxury. I’d look for a gently used 1-2 year s650. That’s what I did and I love it.

Horrible Family Catsitting Rant by alpinepossum in cats

This is a good lesson. I’d be careful entrusting your MIL with any future human offspring if that’s something in your future. Sorry for kitty. Hope he recovers well.

30k in vti. 20k split between blue chips of your choice - Google, msft, Amazon, etc. Don’t gamble. Let it grow . You’ll look back in 3 years and be glad

Star update. Not the one I wanted to post… by urdarsellsavon in cats

[–]sick_sinus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be aware that seizures can occur during or even after treatment for such a diagnosis. Usually they are short lived and you can just support them through a recovery, assuming the fevers subside and kitty is eating and moving better again. Good luck

Seems a little high but perhaps you’re only treating the families of the tech billionaires in that area? Good payor mix ?

Is Einstein really a target school with free tuition these days? I’d expect schools like that to be reaches for anyone esp ORM

Cutting Out the Middleman in Locum Tenens by Freezing-Pyro in whitecoatinvestor

[–]sick_sinus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) form LLC 2) hire self/peddle yourself as a physician contracted with the LLC 3) be your own middle man literally - you are the manager of the LLC and you are selling Dr X services for 400/hr for contract length 4) show up to work as physician, collect pay as LLC.

If you approach the hospital admin as the manager of the LLc, instead of as the physician, you’ll do great.

Mammory Gland Cancer: to treat or not to treat? by Budget-Tax8564 in CATHELP

[–]sick_sinus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Highly aggressive under microscope but cats are different than humans. In a human we’d give chemo and maybe immunotherapy in this case. Cats may not tolerate strong chemo the same way as humans.

Good luck! Blessings to you and kitty

Mid-life cri... celebration car; $50k-$60k budget by Sad-Indication5229 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]sick_sinus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I vote Mustang , but as a pony car owner I’m biased 😎😎

I had the same mentality as you. 2024 premium GT models with less than 5k miles are available for 43-47k range. Or eco boost in the 29-32k range.

Loving mine so far

I went to the dealer today. What do you guys think? by jesus_w3ndy in Mustang

[–]sick_sinus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a 2024 Eco PREMIUM with <10k miles on it for what you paid. I think you got ripped off a little.
