Has anyone had their bank account (i.e., checking and/or savings account) transition yet? If so, did your account and/or routing numbers change? Also, how.much notice we're you gocen about the transition?

I have a portion of my paycheck is direct deposited into my discover accounts. My fear is that it will not get deposited. I can adjust my direct deposit information if given enough of a heads up.

Thanks for any insight!

My dog is fear reactive toward strangers. She is a 2 year old GSD-Berner mix, weighing 85 lbs. Our general vet referred her to a vet behaviorist due to some early struggles with behavioral med dosage (we just struggled with the right balance).

The vet behaviorist has helped get her meds where they should be, and her meds have not changed since end of November or early December. I was told after the meds were stable for six months, I would be able to transfer her meds to her primary vet. I recently reached out, and I was told that wasn't an option because the vet behaviorist still believes she should see my dog. I asked what that meant, and they said when her meds were stable and the doctor releases her, they would be happy to discuss transferring care to her regular vet.

I have had a couple virtual visits with the vet behaviorist where she pushes her practice's training unit. I live two hours away so that's not feasible. That has been the only thing that we've talked about at her last two virtual visits. I understand that they are for-profit, but the expense has been significant and the results have been stagnant for months. I did a couple training sessions that were not as productive as her previous trainer and required me to take an entire day off of work to attend.

We are due for her annual exam with her regular vet in August and her in-person vet behaviorist annual in September. Would it be rude to ask my primary vet to take over the rx without the vet behaviorist releasing her care? I'm not worried about being rude to the vet behaviorist. I'm more concerned about putting the primary vet in an uncomfortable position.

Any insight is greatly appreciated!

Edit: the three rx are fluoxetine, gabapentin, and clonidine. These were previously rx by her primary vet, but the dosage has changed.

For those that used a vet behaviorist, how long were you working with them before they transferred the rx to your primary vet?

I have been working with one for about a year now. We are due for our annual in-person visit. My dog's meds have no changed in over six months. I was notified that after she has been stable for over six months, her medications can be transferred to her primary vet. Today, I was told that she still needs to be seen at the clinic while being pushed to attend 1-1 training sessions.

We live 2+ hrs away. It is not reasonable for me to attend these training sessions, and we have a better trainer in our area. I am also questioning if the training notes are accurate. We had a session where her meds were too high for the session (we do vet med dose for training sessions). I was told at an unnecessary virtual check in meeting that she was too aggressive at the session. The trainer told me that she was well behaved and (unprompted) said i could take my dog's muzzle off because the trainer was comfortable around my pup. So, im not sure what they even say, except "let's get her to spend more money."

I'm a little frustrated and shocked by how much I've already spent with this one organization alone. I have other pets who also need care. So much time and money is being spent with limited training results. I've tried playing the game, but honestly, not worth it in the end. I just want to be done with them.

I had my procedure on Friday. I got violently ill overnight. I am still struggling. The clinic said it is probably dehydration. For those who felt ill post procedure, how long did it last? Also, do you have any advice on how to navigate it?
