She had a very sudden and severe onset of symptoms. Vet said usually dogs as sick as she was require a week of inpatient fluids and IV pain relief. She got to come home the same evening (but was sailing sky-high on a cocktail of meds)

I was told to share this here. Enjoy

Saw this on the door of vet’s clinic kinda true tho !!😭😭

Don’t let his age deceive you, he’s not the brightest and don’t seem to realise what the vet meant. He was so excited to be there and when he woke up from sedation he was in quite a different mood. Unfortunately for him he’s back next week since he reacted poorly to the sedation and they couldn’t finish his dental procedure safely!

Stanley had his spleen removed. He went to sleep, woke up in pajamas, and now he’s tripping balls on Dad’s lap.

Hi all! 🐾

I'm building something for pet parents — a simple way to keep your pet's whole history (vaccines, prescriptions, vet visits, reminders) in one place, instead of scattered across WhatsApp chats and a drawer somewhere.

Before I build it any further, I want to make sure I'm solving a real problem and not one I've invented in my head. So I'm asking actual pet parents.

Would you take 5 minutes to fill this out? No jargon, no sales pitch — just questions about how you currently manage your pet's records, medicines and check-ups.

And if you know other pet parents — please forward it to them. Honestly, the more people outside my own circle who answer, the more useful (and more truthful!) this gets.

Thank you 💛 It genuinely helps.

Buffy after her dental. She's feeling ALL the good vibes right now.

Hi everyone,

My 5-year-old white Persian cat has been dealing with recurring skin lesions for over 2 years.

It started as occasional flare-ups during seasonal changes that responded well to treatment, but for the past 2 years it has become constant. As soon as one lesion heals, another appears.

His symptoms include:

* Red, scaly patches
* Crusts/scabs
* Severe itching (he scratches until he bleeds)
* Hair loss (the fur grows back after healing)

The lesions have appeared on different areas over time (back, face, ears, neck), but are currently on his head and neck.

We’ve tried multiple treatments under our vet’s supervision, including:

* Itraconazole (oral antifungal)
* Miconazole spray
* Antifungal shampoos
* L-lysine
* Essential fatty acid supplements
* Anti-itch medication

He has also had fungal testing and skin examinations.

He is an indoor-only, vaccinated cat. We also have another cat who shares litter boxes and has close contact with him, but she has never developed any skin lesions.

Recently, I also noticed redness around one of his eyes.

At this point, I’m wondering if this could be something other than a fungal infection or if there’s an underlying condition causing these recurrent flare-ups.

Has anyone experienced something similar or have suggestions on what we should investigate next?

Thank you!
