Dogs are the only reason why Homo sapiens became the dominant species and why we exist today. We learned to hunt with wolves and that’s how we survived while the others (e.g., Neanderthals) starved and died off. To kick dogs to the curb like they are nothing means something is deeply wrong with that person’s sense of humanity and they shouldn’t be trusted.
He was deteriorating painfully but pills (not shots) were an easy fix that gave him a good daily life, and most of that cost was emergency surgery when his balls blew up randomly to the size of a grapefruit — $5800 surgery. He was never sick enough to put down. Plus, shame on you for telling someone how to spend their money on family. Dogs are family. My god, you sound like a liberal.
Ugh I’m sorry… we recently went through that with our dog that had systemic lupus. Throughout his life we spent about 8k on his medical bills and he finally died suddenly in his sleep at 7 years old. Vet said he had a few years left if we kept up with his monthly meds that were $300-400. Hubs and I both have 6-figure jobs so we can afford to pay whatever the vet asks for but my god we spend more on our pets than our copays for our own insurance. It’s robbery.
Sounds like me but I didn’t take our horse paste because I’m pregnant… and then wound up in the ICU for 10 days with COVID pneumonia and severe pulmonary embolism!! I should have taken it. Do you have a pulse oxometer? I presented to the ER at 40% blood oxygen and CONSCIOUS. The doctors were flabbergasted I was not in a coma yet. Baby and I really dodged a bullet.
Oh it exists… I spent 10 days in the ICU on oxygen and with severe pulmonary embolism. 5 weeks to recover at home with oxygen machines. We are both unjabbed but I’m pregnant which makes the Rona worse. My husband got it from a vaxxed coworker and recovered in 3 days. I got it from him and it almost took me and the baby. It’s no joke!
Yup I was (still am) pregnant. They almost vented me but I pulled through on just the CPAP thank goodness. I got 5 days of remdesivir and they monitored my organ function daily. I’m perfectly fine now, huge baby bump, running around with our new puppy with fully recovered lungs! It was a crazy experience.
A vaxxed person gave me COVID and I wound up spending 10 days in ICU then 5 weeks at home on oxygen. Never had any problems the past 2 years ignoring masks, no social distancing, breathing real air in public, until people started getting vaxxed.
That’s my industry. Currently my writer is trying to tell my pharma client she cannot make an edit to a paper because there is no data to back up the claim they want to make in the opening sentence. They basically told her to make the edit or they’ll pull their $3m account from our company. It’s not COVID related, but still. Do not trust publications. You need to see the raw data (which is usually publicly available) but good luck sifting through it and understanding it without a PhD. Doctors do not have time to sift through and just read the title and abstract super quick. Also lots of times we can suggest who we want to peer review the paper when it’s submitted so we can make sure industry buddies review the paper and accept it for publication.
We don’t have network TV but in January I spent 10 days in the hospital with COVID and was shocked at how many pharmaceutical commercials there were. And the scary thing is… they were the most interesting and uplifting ones. Nice scenes of people living their lives, etc. Pretty sickening.
At the doctors office the other day they wanted me to sign the strangest form. It said, verbatim, “I consent to any medication, medical procedure or surgery that the doctor deems necessary.” I brought the clip board back to the secretary and said “I signed every form except this one. That wording is alarming and I will not sign it.” She said it was so they could bill my insurance and I absolutely needed to sign it. Since when? The bottom part was fine so I wound up signing that no problem, but that top part I circled that sentence, wrote NO in large letters, then initialed next to it.
People are still getting pregnant left and right on my Baby boards and they are all mostly vaxxed. I got banned from a major baby website for speaking out against the jab.
