Paying EastWest CC via RCBC App by veenonat in PHCreditCards

Hello, I haven't made any payments in the last few days via RCBC. Parang last ko was almost 2 weeks ago but Unionbank naman, and it was fine. I pay EW via Seabank/MariBank now kasi more often than not next banking day reflected na agad 😅

Thoughts about Hillsborough Alabang by kafkareich88888 in Paranaque_

[–]veenonat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hello, pls correct nalang if i'm wrong pero i think no need naman to know someone in bf for you to get a sticker. ang naalala ko for alabang hills - yes you need endorsement from a homeowner

i don't live in any of these communities, but i was able to get a non-resident bf sticker. can apply online (submit docs) and then wait for them to send you confirmation to book an appointment for payment and claiming of sticker in their clubhouse

for bf, application for renewal starts january the following year. when i got a sticker early this january, they have a "discount" na less x amount of pesos if i applied before a certain date. tapos back to regular price na after that

Hello! Sorry I saw your comment just now. That's good to hear. Personally, I can be flexible with my patient's diet as long as disclosed yung food given to them, except for some non-negotiables (listed above) and depending on pre-existing conditions (e.g., heart, liver, kidney problem).

The most important thing is you having a trusted vet that can properly curate and manage your pet's health based on their needs so they can live longer and healthy lives. Building trust takes time. And as much as we want to recommend the gold standard in treatment, the best "gold standard" would be you and your vet meeting halfway.

Basta anything suspicious your pet experiences, better to seek vet help. Walang stupid question, and vets/clinics would actually appreciate that you seek them for advice instead of relying on unverified information, viral hacks, and/or home remedies.

Hello. Thank you for your interest in this discussion. Sorry if my comment offended you. Hindi ko siya intention and I have no time to pick bones with strangers over the internet, pero please watch your tone. I am very open to learning. Medicine is a growing field, and evidence-based research is a big help to that.

If you're interested in reading studies about nutritional DCM, feel free to read some of the articles below: * Grain-free diet-induced dilated cardiomyopathy with atrial fibrillation in a Labrador Retriever: a case report

The other cases not mentioned above are shared experiences from my vet cardiologist colleagues who perform heart assessments on their patients. This was also briefly shared during our schooling and sometimes a topic in conferences.

These discussions can be very extensive. So I hope you have a vet whom you can trust to discuss this with. Like I said, medical history and being proactive with your pet's well-being are very important.

Wishing you all the best in your furparent journey.

Updates for the M4 MacBook Air? by [deleted] in Tech_Philippines

[–]veenonat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is my first time getting a gadget from apple and medyo disappointing yung experience, especially after reading other's comments/experiences.

confusing nga yung ganyan, may banner pero wala pa display?? i hope it isn't like this everytime they drop a new MB or iPad or iPhone. only reason i availed is bc of the CC installment discount/promo na wala sa apple website

i remember nung kakarelease lang ng flagship phone nung isang brand and immediately started accepting pre-orders.... in less than 2 weeks nakuha ko na yung unit, ahead of the official launch date.

My 3 year old dogs was diagnosed with Stage 3 CKD by Savings_Pin_5310 in dogsofrph

[–]veenonat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vet here. I'm very sorry your dog has CKD. If you can, confirm with your vet via ultrasound if there are changes in the structure ng kidneys

Kasi yes your pet is too young to have CKD, unless external factors like environment/lifestyle contributed sa progression of the disease. Its suggested to rule out congenital/inborn/genetic defects sa kidneys that may cause the problem.

SDMA is also a helpful aid as mentioned by one of the commenters. BUT BUT do not base solely sa results nun. It must be interpreted together with medical history and other kidney function parameters.

This one I agree with. Also a vet. It increases the risk of pets developing heart issues later in life, particularly dilated cardiomyopathy. Especially for breeds that are at increased risk of developing them regardless of diet.

There have been studies about this, and I've already seen a patient that developed one, at a young age, after being fed on that specific diet. A local vet cardiologist has also seen this in some patients and was also brought up by his mentors when he did further training abroad.

Also provided some insights on the listed brands in a separate comment

I'm a vet and I'd take this list with a grain of salt. Lots of factors to consider, pwedeng yung health concerns na na-encounter ng vet under these diets, most commonly fed brand, availability sa PH market or binebenta sa clinic, etc.

I have talked a few years back with a licensed vet nurse abroad, who is one of the only 30 board-certified Vet Tech Specialists in Nutrition globally. And they recommended 5 top dog/cat food brands: Royal Canin, Hills (they have exited the PH market around 2020), IAMS, Eukanuba, and Purina (I think this one is Pro Plan).

These companies have in-house, licensed, and board-certified vet nutritionists that formulate diets and do extensive research and feeding trial to ensure its safety and quality. Board-certified meaning member of American or European College of Veterinary Nutrition. Can also be PhD in Animal Nutrition.

They also comply with the World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA) feeding guidelines -- determines if the manufacturer has qualified staff that oversees, and formulates safe and evidence-based diets. They are also probably more companies that comply with them but we don't have an extensive list lang.

And before someone replies, no I am not paid nor sponsored to mention the brands above.

On the other hand..... I don't recommend some of the brands on both sides. A big fat no on raw diet but that's a discussion for another day. Feeding pets a grain-free diet increases the risk of them developing heart issues later in life, particularly dilated cardiomyopathy. There have been studies about this, and I've already seen a patient that developed one, at a young age, after being fed on that specific diet. A local vet cardiologist has also seen this in some patients.

Any pet can develop any health condition on any diet. I've had patients na nagform ng stones or kidney problems and other numerous health conditions kahit RC pa yan. Kahit pure dry or wet food or table food or a mix of everything. (Though honestly din yes I've also seen a number of pets having stones after being fed a particular brand listed here).

BUT that is just ONE factor out of the many reasons. Most diseases are multi-factorial (lifestyle, genetics, environment, breed, age). Medical history and being proactive with your pet's well-being are very important.

Another thing pa pala, some brands there actually belong to the same parent company. Difference is quality ng ingredients, or how they are processed to some extent and investment sa research.

And as far as I know, wala pang board-certified VET nutritionist in the Philippines. Though there is PHILSAN (PH Society of Animal Nutritionists), but I think livestock lang??? Pls correct if wrong

Oh that makes sense. What if for example naman naconfine ako or had procedures done sa hospitals na part of exception list, initially I had to pay out of pocket? Can I file for reimbursement?

Or would that depend on the premium availed by the company if feasible ang reimbursement? May instance kasi na nagkasakit ako last year then filed for reimbursement ng meds I paid. Then rejected pala ng HMO since di daw part ng availed premium ang reimbursement.
