Pt 5: because she has a very expensive combination of vet formula food, enzymes, daily medication, and monthly treatments that cost around $400 a month to keep her alive. Worst case scenario, it will he next summer. Best case, this summer.
Pt 4: With seizures now being a part of our lives, the need to be spayed is more important than the risk of infection. Hormone fluctuations can trigger seizures so the need is significant. It will take me a few months to get the funds together for it because... (see pt 5)
Pt 3: Every little thing turns into an infection for my dog. It is always zero to 100 in a day and it ties back to her EPI because the pancreas plays a role in the immune system. As of this month, she had her first seizure. See pt 4
Pt 2: After a little over a year, we finally had a diagnosis of EPI (basically: pancreas is a paperweight). The vet wanted to focus on getting her healthier and in a routine with treatment which took another year to master. Then, the economy tanked and she kept needing expensive vet visits. See pt 3
Story time of why my 3 year old GSD female is still not spayed 🧵
The first thing I did when she was a puppy was take her to the vet to ask about getting spayed. It was going to be $200 but, before we could do it, she got sick. She continued to get sick, even hemorrhaging blood rectally. See pt 2
The responsible rescue in my area uses an in-house vet and they don't take privately own pups as patients. I did ask. I may get another care credit once I get the last one paid off.
Hi, I tried to get her spayed when I first got her but they wouldn't do it because she kept getting sick. Now, we have a routine down for her condition. Last week, she got her epilepsy badge which means getting spayed is more important than her chronic illness so I'm getting the money together.

I tried to get her spayed as a puppy but they wouldn't do it because she kept getting sick. Now, with her having epilepsy, that finally outweighs her chronic condition.

She did but not until after I used a stick to lure her close enough to grab.
Y'all make me go viral for the weirdest things on this app. That means you're weird. Which explains why you're following my overworked and malfunctioning arse.
No. We used to have a program to help you pay for the service but vets unenreolled b/c they weren't getting the money they were owed. They didnt get the money b/c the state didn't think it was important enough to keep funded. They eventually closed it down because of funding issues. Yay Alabama.
She's got a diaper on and I watch her like a hawk. Namely because a former neighbor tried to take her when she was a puppy.
You have no idea, lol. I have so much going on in this neighborhood all the time. Never a dull moment.
My neighbor has an intact male and they don't believe in leashes of fences. Mine stays in the fenced area during potty breaks. We will resume our walks in a few weeks. She is not a candidate for breeding, she just got her epilepsy badge.
🤣🤣🤣
No, she screams at the neighborhood way too much. Especially at night. And trash day. And when the neighbor moves her garden bench. And when leaves touch her butt.
Yeah working on that. She is special needs and her health and my wallet never seem to line up. That will be resolved by the end of the year.
My neighbor is a redcap asshole. My dog is the fat assed chicken.
My neighbors are used to be yelling weird things at her. Just last night, at 11:30 pm, she took off in the fenced area like she was going to hop it. I yelled something about her being a fat assed chicken. The vet said she needs to drop 20 lbs.
My dog, who is in heat, got out when I opened the door for a package. The security camera stopped recording just before I yelled GET BACK HERE YOU HORNY BITCH! She has a diaper on but the principal of the matter stands.
Are we allowed to get the rest of the Epstein files now?
I just spent 2 hours practicing embroidery while listening to my textbook and I STILL have no idea what the comments on my returned paper mean.
Glad this was vetoed. We agree this bill injected politics into a function of government that should remain nonpartisan. Governor Katie Hobbs vetoed SB1439, which would have created a special “Turning Point” license plate and directed $17 of the $25 fee to Turning Point USA.
I find it interesting how they are now having to split Republicans into 2 groups. Maybe there is reason to hope.
Oh yessss. I actually got a copy of Discovery of Witches for $4 and free shipping just by waiting.
Well now I've gone and done it. I found a NEW book to put on my To-Buy list. I'm planing to have a little garden just to piss off the maga-centric neighbor who acts like a 1 man HOA. We don't have an HOA.
The Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine by Andrew Chevallier. The market price has dropped to $40 for a new copy which explains the used copies being cheaper. Problem is, I also found a book specifically catered to plants in my area, too 😅
I'm just hoping that statistics hold true and we finally get The Obituary.
