Where is the best place to find someone who can help with sourcing?

We are looking for a short-term or freelance sourcing agent who is connected with reputable factories that can accept low MOQ but large overall quantities per month. Preferably manufacturers based in Dongguan or Guangzhou.

Our priority is efficiency in costs and suppliers who are willing to be in a long-term partnership with us.

We are going to Guangzhou on October 17-22 and within this time period we hope to meet and secure potential suppliers.

Thank you!

I have a 6-year-old girl Frenchie, whom we adopted when she was 5 years old, and sadly we didn’t know much about her history since she has had multiple owners. I promised myself that her forever home would be with us. All we knew was that she had given birth twice.

Anyway, our current problem is she keeps discharging/ leaking anal sac fluid. We’ve already had multiple checkups; the vets and groomers have expressed her anal sac, but she seems to not be getting better.

-
For full context, the leaking happened after her spay surgery (she was diagnosed with open pyometra). We realized, as she was recovering post-surgery, that the foul smell she had before surgery was not pus/ vaginal fluid due to pyometra but due to the fluid leaking from her bum.

Week 1 after surgery, her bum had a lump and she was bleeding. We took her to the vet and they expressed her anal sac, and she was in so much pain. Vet told us she had an impacted anal sac. She took 2 different antibiotics for both surgery recovery and impacted anal sac. She was also taking prednisone for 2 weeks.

2-3 weeks later, she was recovering really well from her spay surgery but the anal sac still kept leaking. We would gently clean her bum (just warm water and salt on very soft tissue paper) twice a day to prevent smell from sticking to her fur and keep her clean. We also took her to be bathed and groomed (after the vet said it was ok to do so) and had her anal sac drained again.

It’s now four weeks post-surgery, to which she has recovered well, but also 4 weeks of her still leaking anal sac fluid with blood on her bum, all after having her anal sac expressed twice already. Today I also noticed that the bump has come back and it looks reddish and I’m worried that she is in pain.

If this detail helps, she is always very energetic and she eats and drinks well. We don’t let her run around much though or play too much with our other dogs because we are waiting for her to completely recover from her surgery.

Would just love to know if anyone has had a similar case out there, or any advice. We are scheduled for a checkup on Saturday. I never skip going to the vet because I love my baby so much and I really want her to recover from this.

Any response is helpful. Thank you 🙏🏽

Hi everyone! Trying my luck here…

If anyone is looking to sell their pre-loved Pantone solid coated formula guide, please let me know. It’s pretty difficult to find pre-loved swatch cards and buying a brand new one is so expensive. Going to use it to match thread and fabric colors for our international supplier.

Thank you so much!

I make digital clothing patterns on Illustrator to send to our manufacturer in China but they keep saying they can’t view my patterns on the dxf file.

I have tried saving an older version, did 1:1 scale, converted splines to polylines using a converter i found online (i think it’s called vector-apps) but still nothing 😭

I’m absolutely clueless as to what the problem is. What else can I do? Is there any way for dxf files from illustrator be universal and opened on any CAD software? Please help!
