I’ll try to make this as sweet and short as possible. After losing my cane corso to cancer, we adopted a pitbull mix from the ASPCA. Well let me tell you, we have our hands full. Recently she ate a wire, and I had to rush her to the vet, to find she still had some in her system (thankfully she passed it). Unfortunately, I didn’t have my crate available this weekend, and she ate my couch. I know I need pet insurance on her because she’s a foreign object surgery in the making (lol but also not funny). Anyway, I looked up the plan, and see they don’t have an annual limit as opposed to Lemonade pet insurance. They’re also only 28$ a month. Does anyone know what the trick is to them? Or is it that affordable. I checked lemonade, and they have An annual limit of and are about 46$ a month.

So this last Friday we lost our family dog. This Friday, after a few weeks of turmoil of him having been sick, and needing to put him down, I received a promotion at work. I posted on my fb “I received a promotion at work with xxxx position and received a 10% increase. It’s nice to finally see the sun after losing my beloved, Duke”… when my mom saw the post, not knowing I heard her say “ugh” I said what? She goes you keep posting about Duke….. really that’s all she took from the post? I know we’re all mourning our dog and he primarily was her shadow, but to say that?! She knew about my promotion before I made the post but still. It makes me feel like I need to swallow my feelings.

Trying to make long story short. I’ve been seeing my therapist for over a year now. I meet her virtually. Recently, we had an appt last week. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been an emotional wreck lately. I thought my dentist appt was Tuesday, so I text her saying on Monday that my dentist appt was Tuesday and I had to cancel, we rescheduled til Thursday and I realized my appt was actually scheduled Thursday and I misread my appt date. I explained this to her. We rescheduled to today, but I was asked to stay late at work today. I have court tomorrow and I’m putting my dog to sleep on Friday. I told her I was depressed last week, and I looked forward to meeting. I told her admist the chaos at work today that I had to cancel. She told me today that she can do 7,730 or 8. I was still stuck at work at 730 at night. I tried rushing around to be available for 8 but it just wasn’t feasible. I understand that therapists work for money just like all of us.

However, my only problem with it is that this last month has been SUPER brutal for me. My dog was diagnosed with cancer, and we’ve been anticipating a date to put him to sleep, I have court for a pretty major traffic violation, my dentist cancelled on me for that Thursday bc it turns out they don’t have my Invisalign case in yet. It’s just been a rough 2 weeks of endless issues. I understand my therapist losing out on money, but she has needed to reschedule me, as well as I’ve rescheduled her (same week) events. I feel as a therapist being how bad the last 2 weeks has been for me she would be a little more empathetic AS a therapist but instead she told me how she normally charges $75 for cancellations. I told her to just charge me and that I do apologize but it’s been a really rough 2 weeks and I understand

. I guess my point is, after saying I feel like I’ve been kicked while I’m down is the time she chose to tell me she would charge for cancellations. I feel as a therapist id say hey I understand you’re going thru a lot, so I’ll excuse it this time and I know it’s happened in the past but if there is one more cancellation, I will have to charge. Again I understand everyone needs a paycheck, but when she told me “since we haven’t met I haven’t been able to bill insurance” made me feel like there’s no empathy in the situation as much as she just sees dollar signs in me. I know no one can carry someone else’s emotions but I just feel due to my cancellations and understanding it hasn’t been intentional in some way, I should’ve gotten a warning before just telling me she’s gonna charge me this time. Either way, we’re gonna meet tomorrow and I’m going to express this all to her. So I’m asking whatd your thoughts? I know I’m wrong in some ways, FOR SURE, but I think it’s the lack of empathy when I have apologized and understood, and I feel she was just throwing in my face that she hasn’t made money bc she hasn’t been able to bill insurance

My dog has been limping for a little bit of time now since about February, however he just got his diagnosis last week. He’s on pain management and he’s too old, as well as it being a front leg, that it cannot be amputated. He’s now nearly at the point where he won’t go downstairs and his front paw rolls under himself where it’s as if his paw is limp. I know it’s about the time we likely have to put him down, he’s still eating and drinking and wagging his little nub, but please I ask even though it’s obvious that I’m making the right decision to put him down this week. As an animal lover you always hesitate if it’s the right time. He will walk on flat surfaces but he will not go down the stairs and gets winded on short distances. Please be kind. I just need to know that I’m not making the wrong decision, I’m anxious and scramble minded right now so please excuse my run on paragraph. I don’t know what else to say. I can’t even think of the words I’m trying to say

So in a follow up to my last post, unfortunately my dog was diagnosed with bone cancer. He’s around the age of 10-11. Although amputation is the normal course of treatment, the specialist stated it would be hard with a dog his size and age, and learning how to compensate the weight on only 3 legs. Radiation and chemotherapy would cost a fortune and only be for pain management. He stated this is common in larger breeds as cane corsos. He also has given us pain medication, and to just take it day by day until ready to humanely euthanize. I guess I’m just looking for comfort on how to know when is the right time? He does still eat, drink and have spunk, but obviously does limp.

My 11 year old cane corso is going to see a neurologist on Monday , however the last 2 months, he has been limping on his front right leg. He had x rays done, and blood work & nothing alarming has been seen. The vet put him on gabapentin, meloxifyl. He was taken off the gabapentin and put on another med Amantadine & was even given a shot of Librela. His limping has only persisted and worsened. It seems like it’s somewhere in his paw, or paw pad. I feel absolutely terrible, and found the soonest I can get him in is Monday. Although I will start to receive answers on Monday, do any vets have an idea of what it may be? Our primary vet referred him to see a neurologist if he didn’t get better which is now our next step.
