THE Rant Thread

575.00 at the vet today... for on going issues the rescue NEVER told me about. Possibly could be spending 200 every 2-5months depending on what type of therapy she may need. I am banned from adopting anymore rescue dogs now. My hubbie will not allow anymore "rescue" pups. Lol- I'm just hoping that she will not need immunotherapy.

 

Rescues can be really questionable. My brother adopted a dog not to long ago that they said had a clean bill of health. He takes the dog to the vet it has bad allergies and a major case of heart work. $1500 dollars and a six month treatment plan. My aunt same thing with heart worm from a different rescue. I don't want to sound cruel and it's nice to be able to help a animal but who wants to spends thousands and have a strict treatment plan when thinking of having fun with your new dog.

 

I feel you on this. My first dog was a rescue, BBM, and she has had so many health issues. The first year I had her we were at the vet at least once month and it was not cheap. Alas, my husband has also banned me from rescuing dogs (although if left to my own devices I would probably rescue again). On the bright side, researching and meeting breeders can be really fun. I've already begin researching my next dog (still narrowing down the breed), which I won't be getting for another 4 years.

 

I got the results you guys... Of course she is allergic to dust and house dust mites!! Something so unavoidable... *sigh* She is also allergic to cats and cat dander! Supposedly she was raised with cats, LOL- Those were the highest marked allergens. Surprisingly no food allergies just sensitivities.
She also tested positive to a resistant strain of staph, awesomeeee.... I still have 100.00 worth of antibiotics I paid for and they are useless. I just ordered a special made immunotherapy injection made for her since it's something stupid like dust and am going to pick up some crazy antibiotic pills tomorrow. I hope the immunotherapy works, would be horrible if it didn't! Now I have to sell my kidney on the black market!! LOL

 

Bummer, especially about the dust and dust mites. Hopefully the injection will help so all you have to sell is the kidney. Keep us posted.

 

Sorry about the dust mite allergies. I have really severe dust might allergies. When you clean you want to wipe things down more than vaccuming. Unfortunately, what helps me a lot is wearing a mask when I vacuum. You just want to remove Roxy from the room and keep doors closed while you vaccuum and a little while afterwards. You also want to get a good quality air furnace filter for your house and change it frequently.

 

My rant is that we got an HOA violation yesterday because I parked our Dodge RAM crooked and part of the truck was a tad off the driveway on the rocks. They asked us to remedy the situation. I thought I was doing really good by not hitting our other car! Lol

 

My husband's response, "Well, I guess this is the new Trump world that we are living in."

 

I'm sorry to hear that, the things the rest of us take for granted. I really wish I could come over and help you out.

 

I am so sorry that you are having a difficult time with it. My thoughts are with you.

 

I'm sorry I can't help either. I hate that too. I don't like flies so I try to pick up as fast as I can. Sorry you are having a rough day today too.

 

Maddie's mom. *HUG* Glad hubbie is on his way earlier than expected but sorry you're having a rough time.

 

We were

in Austria in 2006 during the World Cup. I could not believe how hot it was in Innsbruck! It was never that hot there when I was younger.

 

We are not gonna stop and smell every piece of grass for 5 mins each. Just keep walking, boy that drives me crazy.
He says he don't care

 

He looks so good!
