I have a cat, she's 18 years old now...she went to the vet to get her shots and to get fixed back when she was about 12 months old and she's never gone back.

it's like some old people...they drink, they smoke and never see a doctor and they just live on!

I can tell you where NOT to go, that's Banfield inside PetSmarts. They have a up front price, then 20 a month for a year. And while yes, you get free appointments in that year and can show up whenever (even after 5) and get an appointment, I seriously wonder about their intentions and knowledge.

I recently talked to someone that used to work there and it's basically all about the money, I mean selling every little thing to people in their store. They freak people out into buying things they really don't need, or doing tests that aren't really needed at that point in time.

We had our German Shepherd spayed there and she had all kinds of problems, which I don't think is totally their fault (reaction to suture, etc) but they didn't really handle it all that well.

Also found out lately after taking her there (she's about a year old) she has a "recessed vulva" which isn't that uncommon, but puts her at risk for UTI's. Apparently after reseaching they shouldn't have spayed her till after her 1st/2nd heat cycle which corrects this problem usually. Now we have to wipe her "vulva" often with wipes so she don't get UTI's, unless we pay for a "vulvaplasty" that's like $600.

Don't get sucked into the neat deal, find a real vet, some of them even do the "yearly" deals too.

In regards to a cat, they are super stable and healthy (most breeds unless you have those fancy expensive types) and you may not even need a vet. I grew up with 2 cats that lived 18 years and we never took them to the vet till one got ran over by a car at like age 15 (and she came out of it fine actually). Dogs, are prone to many more things than cats are.

And don't get an animal if you can't fork over $60 if it's needed. Animal is your responsibility and you shouldn't have got it if you can't handle it. You never know what problems your animal will come with so always be prepared.

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
