DAS light vs Nano puff

Maybe they are for 2 different seasons? I am hoping to replace my nano that is a size too small and ripped a bit. The dad looks attractive because it covers your bum. Maybe I need both. One would be for Seattle summer evenings, another for Seattle rainy fall.

Thanks!

Recommendations for coat with hood for women that packs down?

Birthday gifts for 5 year old?

Any ‘big’ ideas? I’m thinking maybe one of those giant Costco water slides? Maybe a Dino museum pass. Need ideas for grandparents who want to spend $200-300 and can’t possibly think of that many toys

Easiest places to not mess up tox

I exclusively do a lip flip. It’s super easy and the results are phenomenal. That said, I’m quite nervous to do it anywhere else because of other muscles despite a lot of research. DOA seems easy to mess up. Same with between my brows. Forehead just freaks me out because none and how thin it is. Any advice for your easiest spot?

Dinosaur Waterpark- any feedback?

Are these worth it? Can you leave it outside (dry) for months/weeks? I wish it was $350

In home euthanasia- how to prepare?

Our cat is peeing every 8 hours or so. Been cleared for all bloodwork and uti. She’s 18, couple bad teeth. Vet said we could do exploratory X-rays. Ultrasounds , etc, but supported euthanasia. We are moving forward. It is very hard to cope with because she is still Eagerly eating x but maybe some dementia as she is waking a lot during the night meowing, generally unsettled and being reclusive. Any tips to prepare? Cut some hair to keep? Paw print? We are burying her under a tree in our yard. I’m heartbroken but don’t want her to continue to suffer or go through with a bunch of testing for only a little more sub par life.

ETA, by peeing I meant inappropriately. She is peeing on rugs and mats despite uti being negative, given an antibiotic shot just in case, no improvement. Peeing was once every 3 days, but now it’s 2-3x a day is what I meant. Litter is clean, changed, 5 types of foods at all times, etc.

Are these ugly?

Struggled to find a lighter color semi neutral in my size (ladies). Needed a shoe that I can wear in Disneyland and general comfort everyone said the 990v6. New balance site didn’t have much to offer and all I could find in my size was at joes. Is this a crazy color for an everyday shoe? I’m used to only wearing white or linen so it’s outside my comfort zone.

Summer loss

Does anyone get increased hair loss each summer like clock work? I have AGA, I think- never officially tested but I take 1.25 oral mino. Each year around May I lose a ton of hairs my dermatologist even said it’s normal to lose hair in summer- although we’re in Az so the 100+ degree temps may have an effect. I always consider adding a second med and then it stops.

Who do I see?

I’ve been experiencing crazy hip pain. Sleeping sucks. I’ve tried heating pads, intense stretching, tons of hip and glute exercises. What doctor do I see? I’m suspecting bursitis. Maybe lack of estrogen due to perimenopause? Do I see a pcp? Ortho? Sports medicine doctor? I don’t want to waste time (or money) jumping around without relief. My insurance doesn’t require preauth. I was hoping to try a steroid injection for quick relief.

How much exploratory would you do for elderly cat?

Not asking for medical/vet advice- but curious what you would do.

My cat is 18. She has been peeing around the house a lot. UTI came back negative and bloodwork relatively negative. So the next steps are scans, ultrasounds, X-rays, maybe a risky dental. I’m a little overwhelmed to spend 1000s of dollars when I feel like she is declining. I don’t want to put down a healthy animal, and I love her like my child, but part of me hates to see her suffer like this and wonders if it’s time for end of life discussion. She is eating but picky AF and eats 4-5 bites then wants a new fresh can in a few hours. How did you make the call?

Which doctor can give a steroid injection?

I’ve been having increasing hip pain the past 2 years and it’s suddenly become unbearable. Do I go straight to PT? An ortho doctor? PCP? I’m thinking it’s either hip bursitis, maybe because of perimenopause, or right hips or something as I’ve been exercising them a ton.

I’d like to see my pcp for a steroid injection but do they even do that. I need relief quickly. The idea of spending months and so much money is really intimidating. Any suggestions for where to start? I have an NP, should I see a DO rather?

How long for antibiotic shot to work? - cat

Cat, female, Siamese mix. 18 years old. Peeing on stuff for past year, remedied by oral antibiotics and now doing it 1-3 days for past month. No other medications.

18 year old female cat got an antibiotic shot on Friday for suspected uti (peeing outside litter box). We are waiting on urine and blood results. I was hoping she’d be better but has peed on rugs twice in past 12 hours. Any guidance how long the shot takes for effectiveness? She also has a reabsorptive tooth that looks horrific

Tacoma vs Portland

Looking to move to the PNW. House would be 3/2 $650k max. We can’t afford Seattle obviously or any of the surrounding areas. I’ve heard Tacoma is rough but wondering how it compares to Portland. Looking more at Beaverton and outskirts. Also open to anywhere else within an hour of an airport in WA like Olympia.

Pet euthanasia

It’s looking like we may need to put down our elderly cat soon. I’d love any tips for navigating this with our soon to be kindergartener. Telling him before, after, goodbyes, books, managing my own emotions (I’ve had her 18 years), etc.

Thank you

Kid has stomach bug. I’ve never not gotten it from him. I’m holding the bucket and cleaning it up. I used to clean well but now I’d rather just get it over with because waiting days is horrible. How long after I have exposure (like him v inches from my face) will I get it?

Sure in a perfect world they are first evaluated for need. But if anyone has a feral or extremely anxious cat like mine, getting them t the vet and assessed is a nightmare. I was always told 5+ years. I’ve stuck to this and it’s nice because they do an exam while she’s under and her bloodwork as well.
