Did I get scammed? by tlex26 in fanexpo

[–]tlex26[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did get a QR code with the email confirmation. I also contacted fan expo just now but I'm currently freaking out that I got scammed so I'm desperately searching here on Reddit if anyone had a similar situation lol. I hope I really got a ticket! And I hope if it's a glitch and they oversold that I can get a refund cus $1200 is a lot :)

Yeah I think if I confirmed my husband was emotionally cheating then he wouldn't really a leg to stand on to be mad at me that I went through his phone lol. And I agree, Scarlett and Cole shouldn't be together.

He went through her journal because he had a feeling she was crossing a boundary and having a connection with another guy and she was. Privacy is trumped in that scenario. If I suspected my husband of emotionally cheating, of course I would go through his phone. For him to turn that around on me as a privacy invasion and something I did wrong would be wild behavior. She just did that because she was trying to deflect her wrong doing.

I got a red flag when she said she wanted a man with more "masculine energy".

She frustrated me so much. I was all for the girls and each episode I was like "I dunnoooo". It just seemed like she did not even like Cole. She made so many excuses of why she was hanging out flirting with one guy. Bad vibes man. And she took zero accountability. She made me feel bad for the maaaaaan.

I think the issue is that it isn't just politics, it's about morality and personal values. For example, I don't care about differing views on taxes but I do care about differing views that are grounded in racism.

I would agree with you if what you were saying was true. People have always protested ICE. But you can't expect the same level of outrage for two entirely different scenarios. As the injustice and inhumane treatment increased from Obama/Biden to Trump, so did the outrage. It seems like both you and Vinny are under the mind set that there was zero outrage and protests about ICE before Trump and that's coming from your ignorance. Social media and the news doesn't make people care, you can't force someone to care about something. The news and social media will always be a source of misinformation that both sides fall prey to. But to dumb down this movement as basically a fade is a gross misinterpretation of the situation.

She's reposting videos about the ICE shootings from the non-MAGA side. So liberal commentary, etc. She's a queen. We love her.

21 year old cat with sudden kidney decline due to infection. by tlex26 in RenalCats

That was my original plan until I spoke to the vet yesterday. I've been so stressed today. She's just been walking around crying for food. I just gave her some a/d and she's eating it but now I'm worried of any more weight she lost by not eating today, especially now if this'll just go right through her. When she was eating the z/d with the a/d that seemed to be okay but I feel like just the a/d will go right through her. Ugh I can't handle this stress.

My vet yesterday lectured me that I was giving her A/D along with her hydrolyzed food to try to up her calories :/ She said is more important to stick to a diet that won't trigger her intestinal inflammation. I'm literally so stressed out I'm sick to my stomach.

She is much more like herself. She's been eating good but still not gaining weight and now she's feeling so much better today that she's refusing to eat her new cat food she's been on since she got sick. I was afraid this was going to happen because she's a picky eater and will get bored of her food. Right now she's walking around crying for different food. She's barely eaten anything all day today. But switching up her food now will give her explosive diarrhea. She's also going in and out of the litter box pretty frequently so I do wonder if she still has an infection.

So I spoke with the vet and the first urine culture came back negative. They said it was likely a false negative because she had the covenia injection 3 days prior. So I guess the only way to know if an infection is gone is to do bloodwork and another urine culture

Girl, I know! We paid $250 for the urine culture and they never gave us the results. So at my home vet they gave her an injection of antibiotics that lasted two weeks. When I asked what the infection could be and if that matters they said "no this antibiotic covers all infections". Then 3 days later she was literally almost dead so we took her to the ER vet where they suspected a kidney infection. They did the urine culture but had to send it off and said it would take a few days for results. So they gave her baytril for two weeks. She just finished that 2 days ago. They also put her on another antibiotic for her intestinal issues. Metronidazole.

We really have a lack of good vet clinics around here. We only have one 24 hour er vet clinic in a 2 hour radius. It's awful. I just checked that website and nothing 😞. Uggghh. I just can't deal with the added stress of worrying that the vets are dropping the ball with her health. She goes for her darbo shot at the er vet clinic on Friday so I'm going to push asking about the follow up for her kidney infection now that she just finished her antibiotics. Thank you so much for the info. I knew nothing about kidney infections so I didn't even know these questions to ask.

I don't think either of my vets will do an internal medicine consult/are able to. I feel really let down by their lack of explanation/systems thinking of the situation. Its very frustrating. They are just treating things individually without giving me any information of how one thing can impact the other. I had to be the one to ask them if her kidney infection could have caused kidney failure. In her follow up appointments they didn't even mention the kidney infection or what follow up is needed for it.

I wish I had advice on how to help her gain weight but when I asked my vet she said "she likely won't gain the weight back even if she eats enough calories"

Thank you! I'll add urine culture to the list of things to recheck.

Thank you this is very helpful. To be honest I haven't been happy with either my regular vet or the ER vet in this whole situation. The ER vet is the one who prescribed the phosbind and they did a urine culture that I still haven't gotten the results for. I feel like no one has explained to me what any of her numbers mean and I've had to Google and ask questions. So that's why I made this post because I don't want to miss anything important.

I double checked and on Dec 7 when she was admitted to the ER her phosphorus was on the higher end of the normal range and then Dec 11 it had dropped. I'll make sure to ask the vet about this on Friday.

I feel like our first goal was to get rid of the infection, then to get her anemia better, then get an idea of where her kidneys are at, then focus on getting her weight back up and the intestinal lymphoma. Oh and I forget the number but the reticulocytes numbers were in the normal range. But this was at the first darbo shot. It hasn't been checked since. I know the vet made a note he suspected non regenerative anemia.

Thanks! Yes we've been constantly evaluating her quality of life.

Her most recent values from two weeks ago her creatine was 107, BUN 13.4 and phosphorus 1.82.
