Need help with my newest BP's eye

My partner and I just recently purchased Noodles. We noticed right after we got into the car the day we got her, there was something on her eye. We kind of brushed it off as maybe it's stuck shed and it'll eventually fall off. Fast forward 2 weeks, it is still there. We tried feeding her last night. We use live mice for our other girl, we figure Noodles would be ok with that also. He was dangling the mouse in front of her face, she went to strike at it and completely missed and went to the side and smacked in to the glass. We called Petco, they advised us to bring her in so we did. The manager on site told us it's stuck shed and with a warm compress every night for a few nights, it'll eventually fall off. We've done that, and it's still there. My partner looked closer to it and he noticed what looks like a hole.

I love my Noodles. I love her color, she's very docile and I really do not want to have to bring her back to the pet store and exchange her, as we paid $400 JUST for her, not including everything else we got. She does have an appointment for a wellness check but that is going to cost us at minimum, just for the check-up, $100. That also does not include any bloodwork, or medication she may need.

Any help/insight is greatly appreciated, if anyone has also gone through this.

21 weeks pregnant - working fulltime

I am 20 weeks pregnant on my second child. My first child is 15 years old so there's a bit of an age gap. For reference, I will be 37 when I have my second. I live in South Carolina, if that matters also.

This pregnancy has been much harder on my body than my first. I worked straight through until about 2 weeks before I had my first. I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing the difficulties of working 40 hours a week? I work in a chemical manufacturing lab but was put on restrictions due to the dangers of my job so now I am strictly desk duty. I am thinking about asking my OB if they can recommend 32 hours a week as 40 is really killing me. The exhaustion, headaches and absolute horrid back pain is making it extremely difficult to manage. I probably miss (or leave early) 2-3 days a month (work is very understanding and flexible).

I just need some insight. Is it unreasonable to ask for a cut in hours?

South Carolina - AnMed obgyn

For anyone who has used AnMed obgyn for child birth, I have never heard of Global Billing until I moved here. They gave me an estimate, half due by my anatomy scan, the rest due before I give birth. Do they allow payments because the amount due in such a short window, is really unrealistic. I tried calling multiple times but no one answers - I did leave a message. Any help is greatly appreciated.
