Quote:Originally Posted by DrWatson You would think, but I talked to a front desk girl hours ago who said she’d have someone from the vet team call me back. That didn’t happen. So I put kitter into the bathroom after running a hot shower. We hung out together in the ‘sauna’ for a bit. It seemed to help some. She didn’t freak out this time. 🤣🤣 Our vet has incompetent people working there I guess. My wife usually deals with them because she knows I have no patience with incompetence. She’ll be home tomorrow. @HeinzDad It is all about the money these days. Our vet raised prices the past few years because there are too many irresponsible pet owners these days. Decent pet parents like us are getting shafted. 🤨🤨 |

Quote:Originally Posted by Galen130 It's the same with dentists I've visited lately. The 1st one said I had 11 cavities, the 2nd one said I had one. Always get a 2nd opinion and even a 3rd if necessary. |

How does a dentist mis diagnose 10 cavities? | ||

@flanders @HeinzDad @Bronte As a retired dental assistant, I can go into it a bit on the dentistry. Without getting a look at x-rays, of course, there's no telling, but some dentists who are keen on replacing any amalgam restorations (metal fillings) a patient may have, will sometimes count every stain around the margin of the amalgam and call it decay (a 'cavity') so that the patient will agree to replace the amalgam with a non-metal filling material. The problem with making a judgment on whether the dentist is competent or not - or just greedy - is that there's no guarantee that the dentist isn't correct. Because it's impossible to get proper x-rays all the way around the amalgam (amalgam is radiopaque - shows up as white), it's not outside the realm of possibility that stains around the margin of the filling might really indicate decay. It's a tough situation with no easy answer, unfortunately. |

Here’s an update: I took her back into a steaming bathroom and we hung out a bit. I’m sure I burned off some calories. 🤣🤣 Here she is, stretched out in the kitchen floor later, wanting some pets from her dad with his big hands. She’s a small cat, and she loves it. This means she’s feeling a bit better. |

Here’s an update: Ms. Felix is doing better. Still sneezing and sniffling, but not as bad, and definitely more animated and attention-seeking. The humidifier and steamy bathroom visits are helping. Never got a call back from the vet, so we are taking care of her ourselves. |

That black and tan cat reminds me if one I caught in my chicken coop one time. I trapped it and relocated it. | ||

Was out of town for 10 days. First time leaving these 2 alone. My friend that was feeding them never saw Natasha once so I was a little worried but I guess they're ok. I think they might even get along better now |

Masculinity takes a holiday. | EbayMafia private msg quote post Address this user | |
My buddy at work. The story is that she showed up around a year ago and just assumed the role of yard/guard dog. The vehicle break-ins stopped after she showed up. Probably abandoned and mistreated. She's well-loved at work. They set up a nice doghouse for her but she stays there outside alone (behind a gate) at nights and on weekends. She sure is happy to see the first car arrive each morning. Breaks my heart to think about her during the thunderstorms. |
