Help! 😫

I’ve had this little tree for 3 weeks now and 2 of the 3 leaves have died and fallen off. I ordered it by mail and when it arrived it seemed to be in pretty good health and condition considering it was handled and in a box for 3 days. The first pic is the day I got it. The second pic is today.

I’m trying to not water it too much and let the soil dry out in between. The last leaf seems sturdy, but I don’t see any new growth happening.

The soil is from a banana tree I used to have that eventually died (overwatering), but I plan on changing it to fresh soil - https://www.lowes.com/pd/Miracle-Gro-MIRACLE-GRO-TROPICAL-POT-MIX/5016534091 is this a good choice?
My apartment is bright, but there’s no direct sunlight.

Please help me keep this bb alive!

First Order from Rift and Drug Crafters - Will Update Throughout

Just made my first order with Rift. Two years ago I was on Zepbound. I was no longer able to afford it and have been on and off compounded tirzepatide from Cit****Med since. I started to find the efficacy not consistent with each order as well as seeing more competitors with better prices pop up, it was time to try something new.

I've read good and bad reviews about Drug Crafters, so we will see! I will update here once I receive my order. I'll note whether the efficacy remains consistent as the weeks go by (it's a 3 month supply. I've noticed with CitizenMed's 1 month supplies sometimes week 4 would not be as strong as week one) and how the next order in November compares to this one. My goal/hope is always to find some as good as the real stuff... those were the days...

Wobbly and Third Eyelids

I took my cat to an emergency appointment today because he has been making crazy screams from the litter box. Like made me jump out of bed having been asleep sort of scream.

2.5 years old, 16lbs (hefty boy), neutered, indoor only, domestic med hair

Drugs he has had recently -

24 hours ago: 50 mg gaba, 2.5 mg acepromazine

9 hours ago: 50mg gaba, 5mg acepromazine

The vet did not think he is blocked, but has not ruled out a urinary issue. They thought his bladder felt normal, but said he was very tense so it wasn't easy to feel and that he may be experiencing some tenderness when his stomach is touched. His bloodwork at today's appointment showed no issues. His urinalysis will be in tomorrow. We were sent home with more gaba and buprenophine, neither of which I have given to him as I needed to wait due to the meds he'd already taken.

An hour ago he came out from where he was napping VERY wobbly and with his third eyelid half closed. Because of this I have not yet given him any more gaba or the buprenophine. Please note that he has had 50 mg of gaba on multiple occasions and this has never happened. That dose has not had much of an effect in the past. (Remember, hefty boy)

THE QUESTION: Could this be from the acepromazine or ace/gaba cocktail and starting 9 hours after taking it? Or did he just take a turn for the worse and we need to head to the emergency vet? (It's 10pm where I am so that is the only option)

Possibly relevant information:
He has not peed since we have been back from the vet (5 hours), only pooped. He did go back into the litter box a few minutes after pooping, but did nothing and left, other than that there hasn't been repeated trips. There was no vocalizing in the litter box this time. He's not excessively licking his genitals. His gums are light pink and some areas a bit white, but they are usually very light with some areas almost white. He's an FIP survivor having taken GS-441524 from 7 through 10 months old. He has been on prescription urinary food since March because his brother had a blockage and was diagnosed with FLUTD back then.

Embody and AltRx?

Has anyone tried these?
They’re promising
-No membership fee
-No hidden fees
-Same price across all doses
-Locked in price on Embody

If you’ve tried these how effective was the tirzepatide? Are these promises true? Does AltRx raise their price?

It all seems a little too good to be true.

Added some screenshots of the pricing and offers shown after entering in my info - the first 2 are Embody, the third one is AltRx

Edit: I’ve been using CitizenMed. The price raises with the dose. I also find the first dose of the month to be much more effective than the following 3 as if the effectiveness of the vial doesn’t even last a whole month.

Untuck my vest from my pants? - $5

Can someone untuck my vest from my pants? I’ve included pictures of the vest from the website (lulus.com if anyone wants to know) to show how it’s supposed to look.

PayPal, Cash App, Venmo

Edit: No AI!

Where can I buy a banana tree?

A year ago they were all over the trendy online plant retailers. Now the only ones I can find are on kind of questionable looking sites, but perhaps they’re just small businesses without great web design. Looking for recommendations!

Also this will be an indoor tree that I would love to actually produce bananas eventually if possible!

Labored Poops? Reason for concern?

This is Moss. He has been making these huffs as he poops. Is this a reason for concern? He’s not throwing up after using the litter box. His poops look normal.

A couple weeks ago he was throwing up almost every day for maybe 2 weeks. I was about to make an appointment but then he just stopped. I thought maybe springtime hairballs? He’s seemed fine since.

Right after this video he was immediately playing with his brother, so spirits and energy are good

He had FIP as a kitten and is 2 years old now.
Should I take him in?
