This list is based on if there were a fantasy draft right now (think Madden), what QB would you take RIGHT NOW to lead your franchise for multiple seasons. This is not based on past seasons and accomplishments!! This is just my opinion. Everyone has one! Let the games begin...
*Rookies Excluded due to never playing a down in the league, therefore I feel I can’t compare them to established vets fairly*

2023.06.02 15:29 NekkyP My puppy died at 4 months old, brutally and unexpectedly
I am writing this with tears in my eyes as I have just lost the dearest thing in my life. She was just 4 months old, a beautiful mini dachshund that was not meant to live and passed away too fast.
I've always liked dogs but I hadn't thought of getting one before living in a big house with a yard. My girlfriend managed to change my mind about this and she convinced me to get a dachshund, and 1.5 months ago we stumbled online upon the most beautiful little creature and decided to bring her home. She immediately showed us so much affection and we responded by giving her all the love we had. We live in an apartment so we took her to the park multiple times a week, we walked her at least 6 times a day and played with her the whole day through. We were so motivated to do things right that we even followed a training course for little dogs and she already knew many tricks for her young age.
Four days ago, the wineries in our region opened their doors to everyone for wine tasting and it was a beautiful day along the lake so we took her with us. There are obviously a lot of vineyards so we were extremely careful to not let her go near the grapes. It was quite hot, around 24°C so we made sure to do plenty of breaks where our little baby could nap and drink water to hydrate. We were so careful. Later that day we sat outside at a bar, and we could feel our dog pull the leash. When we looked we saw that she was sniffing or licking some sort of vomit on the floor that we hadn't seen because the color of it was similar to the grass beneath it. We immediately changed table and our little baby fell asleep on my lap. A little bit later she woke up and puked on my shirt, we thought it was funny at the moment and that she must have eaten something that upset her tummy, probably the vomit which came from another dog. On the walk back home she was completely fine, wagging her tail and sniffing everything with her little snout as she usually did. We put her in her crate, kissed her goodnight and went to sleep.
The next day we woke up to her vomiting and being very lethargic. She didn't jump out of her crate like she usually did to greet us and lick our faces, she wasn't hungry while she usually destroys her meals in a few seconds and she didn't want to walk outside. She also randomly screamed in pain for a very brief moment here and there. We immediately called an emergency vet to come home because our usual clinic was closed for a national holiday. He came fast and examined her thoroughly, after which he concluded that it must be an acute gastritis, and provided some meds to make her feel better. However, our baby did not improve. She continued puking and screaming in pain after the vet left and we were already crying by then. We called the vet again and he came back, checked her thoroughly a second time by running an echograph and gave her an antispasmodic to stop the sharp pain. He still thought that it was a gastritis, and she would likely feel better very quickly, in a day or so. The antispasmodic made appeased her, she was still very lethargic but stopped having sharp pains so we were hopeful she would go back to jumping and running in no time.
Unfortunately, we woke up to her vomiting again. She hadn't eaten and barely drank for a day now, so I brought her to the emergency vet as soon as I woke up. They took her in very quickly to run an x-ray and other tests, and the doctor told me that she could have eaten something that stayed inside her in which case they would need to operate. Regardless, they kept her, and would call to give more information after getting the lab results. Not even an hour later, I was shopping groceries and I received the dreadful call. Her Potassium levels were way too high, the doctor was suspecting kidney failure and told me that she might need dialysis very quickly. There were two clinics that had the medical equipment necessary for this, one was 1 hour away but would be extremely expensive (~10k) and the other was 2.5 hours away and would be about half the price if not less. We are not rich by any means but to save our baby we would have paid the price... I asked her if the 1.5 hours extra would lower the chance of survival of our baby and she said no, so we decided to go with the second option. I called my girlfriend sobbing and she came home right away, after which we left for the clinic... When we arrived there, they told us to wait, which made me so mad because they told us to be there by a certain hour which we did. However when our little baby, which was so tired and fragile by now, started vomiting again, they took her in right away. The vet told her that because our dog is so small and weak they would not start with the dialysis right away and will try to lower the potassium levels by other agressive treatments. She also said that the puppy was in a very bad state and her survival is not guaranteed. We broke down crying. We asked to see our baby, and when we saw her she managed to wag her little tail and look at us with her loving eyes while we were struggling to keep our tears from pouring out. We wanted to look strong for our baby and not worry her, she looked so lost and fragile... I will never forget that look in her eyes. The vets obviously knew better, so we agreed to let them do whatever they think is best to save our baby... We were told she would stay there multiple days, and because my girlfriend needed to work the next day, we drove all the way back and would come see our puppy in a couple of days. On the drive home, we received a call from the doctor saying that they managed to lower her potassium levels with the treatment, and the pup peed by herself which were both very good signs. This gave us a glimmer of hope and we were able to stop crying for the night and start having positive thoughts when going to sleep.
And this is where it all comes crashing down. We were told to call after 11:00, so the wait until then was unbearable. I am not working at the moment so I was home alone, crying, shouting, trying to make sense of this situation that happened so quickly and unexpectedly. I just wanted to hear good news. It didn't have to be great news, just some improvement that would let us have a bit more of that hope we so desperately needed. My girlfriend called them at 11:00... the Potassium levels were back up, they didn't manage to stabilize them. They realized that a dialysis might not be needed because there were other factors that would point to other diseases such as her increased hormone levels. They didn't know what was causing our baby to be like this... they had no idea. They called again twice in the following hour to tell us that her health deteriorated and she was now under assistance to breathe. We decided to leave and go see her right then and there... Once we got here after the 2.5 hour drive, our legs were shaking. We did not want to face the situation, we had cried the whole way and could not stop having horrible thoughts. The vet took us in and calmly explained to us that our baby's brain had been damaged irreparably due to an acute reaction to the anesthesia they gave her. She said it would have happened either way, anesthesia or not. The dialysis would likely kill her now and would probably not even solve the problem, because they could not find the cause. The doctor said that they had never seen a case like this, for a dog's health to degrade so fast and aggressively, they even put their whole team to brainstorm on possible diseases that would act this way to no avail. We were told that the most probable thing was a disease, possibly autoimmune, that she carried inside her and was maybe triggered by a gastritis. They said she was not suffering although I don't know if that was just to make us feel better. I fell on the floor crying. I could not believe this was happening to our baby. We took her in at 10 weeks, she was just 4 months old, we didn't even have her for the biggest part of her life and yet we felt like she had been with us for an eternity. I had never loved and cared for another being quite like I did for her. I spent all my days with her, she was the only thing making me feel less alone while I stayed home looking for a job. She was our everything. And she was dying.
They let us see her. She had cables everywhere. She was in a coma, her eyes were half-open and had a viscous liquid in them. Her tongue was sticking out from the side. She looked dead and she wasn't even being sedated. That image keeps replaying in my head over and over. Just the other day she was wagging her little tail and now she looked like her soul had left her body. We broke down crying again... we talked to her a bit, telling her that it would soon be over and she would be able to go to sleep forever, and we would hopefully see her one day again. We kissed her on her forehead as we usually did to tell her goodnight. We had brought her favorite toy so she would feel less alone. We were so devastated. I asked multiple times if there was any chance she would recover, even a tiny one, but the doctor said that the damage she had suffered to her brain would not be able to be reversed. The only other choice we had is that they would keep her to run more tests and hopefully find out what caused this... but she would not come back. We were hurt enough by the situation and could not bear more suffering, so we decided to put her away without pain. We held her little paws when she left us and I rubbed her between the eyes like I used to do when she fell asleep on the couch. After it happened, I asked to take off all the cables and let me hold her again for one last time. I just hope she didn't feel alone in her last moments...
They brought her in the other room covered in a blanket. I closed her eyes, it looked just like she was asleep. I held her lifeless body in my arms and sobbed uncontrollably. We called our parents and we couldn't say a word, just cries. We stayed with our baby a little bit longer in the room, talking to her even if she was already gone. After a while we had to go... we decided to cremate her body and not keep the ashes as it would just be a sad memory of her. They told us that she would get an autopsy as a last chance to find the cause but the probability of finding it was very slim.
We drove back home. The house felt empty, dead. I have never cried so much in my life. When I thought I had no more tears left in my body, more would come and I would start sobbing again. We hugged. We told ourselves that there was nothing else we could have done, and she would have died either way sooner or later. My dad said the only thing that managed to make me feel a little better: dogs don't have the same perception of time as we do. Our baby doesn't know that she died so young, all she knows is that she lived happily and was loved very much throughout her life. When we got in the shower, a hair brush fell on the floor. It was the hair brush that our puppy would always grab and run away with and would make us go mad. We like to think that she was still being silly from up there and that she was telling us to be strong and that she's okay. We took all her stuff and put it in the cellar, except her favorite toy that we kept as a memory. We booked the first flight in the morning to go see my girlfriend's family because we could not stay in the house right now. Our baby was not meant to live... Everything happened so fast, not even four days ago we thought it was just gastritis, and now we will never see her again. I hope she didn't suffer. I hope that in her dying moments she thought of the good times when she was running in the park chasing dogs 10 times her size while we were watching her, laughing our ass off. I hope she knew we loved her very much and will never be able to replace her. I hope she's in a better place now and can eat all the food she wants.
If anyone has any tips on how to feel better I would be more than glad to know about them. Right now it seems like there is no light at the end of the tunnel and I don't know how I will emotionally recover from this. We want to get another puppy soon but the void left by our baby in our hearts will never be truly filled. We already miss her so much, she was our everything. Rest In Peace baby girl.
TL;DR: Our 4 month old puppy died unexpectedly and brutally from an unknown illness and my girlfriend and I are struggling to make sense of the world right now.

2023.06.02 15:25 NekkyP My puppy died at 4 months old, brutally and unexpectedly
I am writing this with tears in my eyes as I have just lost the dearest thing in my life. She was just 4 months old, a beautiful mini dachshund that was not meant to live and passed away too fast.
I've always liked dogs but I hadn't thought of getting one before living in a big house with a yard. My girlfriend managed to change my mind about this and she convinced me to get a dachshund, and 1.5 months ago we stumbled online upon the most beautiful little creature and decided to bring her home. She immediately showed us so much affection and we responded by giving her all the love we had. We live in an apartment so we took her to the park multiple times a week, we walked her at least 6 times a day and played with her the whole day through. We were so motivated to do things right that we even followed a training course for little dogs and she already knew many tricks for her young age.
Four days ago, the wineries in our region opened their doors to everyone for wine tasting and it was a beautiful day along the lake so we took her with us. There are obviously a lot of vineyards so we were extremely careful to not let her go near the grapes. It was quite hot, around 24°C so we made sure to do plenty of breaks where our little baby could nap and drink water to hydrate. We were so careful.

There were two clinics that had the medical equipment necessary for this, one was 1 hour away but would be extremely expensive (~10k) and the other was 2.5 hours away and would be about half the price if not less. We are not rich by any means but to save our baby we would have paid the price... I asked her if the 1.5 hours extra would lower the chance of survival of our baby and she said no, so we decided to go with the second option. I called my girlfriend sobbing and she came home right away, after which we left for the clinic... When we arrived there, they told us to wait, which made me so mad because they told us to be there by a certain hour which we did. However when our little baby, which was so tired and fragile by now, started vomiting again, they took her in right away. The vet told her that because our dog is so small and weak they would not start with the dialysis right away and will try to lower the potassium levels by other agressive treatments. She also said that the puppy was in a very bad state and her survival is not guaranteed. We broke down crying. We asked to see our baby, and when we saw her she managed to wag her little tail and look at us with her loving eyes while we were struggling to keep our tears from pouring out. We wanted to look strong for our baby and not worry her, she looked so lost and fragile... I will never forget that look in her eyes. The vets obviously knew better, so we agreed to let them do whatever they think is best to save our baby... We were told she would stay there multiple days, and because my girlfriend needed to work the next day, we drove all the way back and would come see our puppy in a couple of days. On the drive home, we received a call from the doctor saying that they managed to lower her potassium levels with the treatment, and the pup peed by herself which were both very good signs. This gave us a glimmer of hope and we were able to stop crying for the night and start having positive thoughts when going to sleep.
And this is where it all comes crashing down. We were told to call after 11:00, so the wait until then was unbearable. I am not working at the moment so I was home alone, crying, shouting, trying to make sense of this situation that happened so quickly and unexpectedly. I just wanted to hear good news. It didn't have to be great news, just some improvement that would let us have a bit more of that hope we so desperately needed. My girlfriend called them at 11:00... the Potassium levels were back up, they didn't manage to stabilize them. They realized that a dialysis might not be needed because there were other factors that would point to other diseases such as her increased hormone levels. They didn't know what was causing our baby to be like this... they had no idea. They called again twice in the following hour to tell us that her health deteriorated and she was now under assistance to breathe. We decided to leave and go see her right then and there... Once we got here after the 2.5 hour drive, our legs were shaking. We did not want to face the situation, we had cried the whole way and could not stop having horrible thoughts. The vet took us in and calmly explained to us that our baby's brain had been damaged irreparably due to an acute reaction to the anesthesia they gave her. She said it would have happened either way, anesthesia or not. The dialysis would likely kill her now and would probably not even solve the problem, because they could not find the cause. The doctor said that they had never seen a case like this, for a dog's health to degrade so fast and aggressively, they even put their whole team to brainstorm on possible diseases that would act this way to no avail. We were told that the most probable thing was a disease, possibly autoimmune, that she carried inside her and was maybe triggered by a gastritis. They said she was not suffering although I don't know if that was just to make us feel better. I fell on the floor crying. I could not believe this was happening to our baby. We took her in at 10 weeks, she was just 4 months old, we didn't even have her for the biggest part of her life and yet we felt like she had been with us for an eternity. I had never loved and cared for another being quite like I did for her. I spent all my days with her, she was the only thing making me feel less alone while I stayed home looking for a job. She was our everything. And she was dying.
They let us see her. She had cables everywhere. She was in a coma, her eyes were half-open and had a viscous liquid in them. Her tongue was sticking out from the side. She looked dead and she wasn't even being sedated. That image keeps replaying in my head over and over. Just the other day she was wagging her little tail and now she looked like her soul had left her body. We broke down crying again... we talked to her a bit, telling her that it would soon be over and she would be able to go to sleep forever, and we would hopefully see her one day again. We kissed her on her forehead as we usually did to tell her goodnight. We had brought her favorite toy so she would feel less alone. We were so devastated. I asked multiple times if there was any chance she would recover, even a tiny one, but the doctor said that the damage she had suffered to her brain would not be able to be reversed. The only other choice we had is that they would keep her to run more tests and hopefully find out what caused this... but she would not come back. We were hurt enough by the situation and could not bear more suffering, so we decided to put her away without pain. We held her little paws when she left us and I rubbed her between the eyes like I used to do when she fell asleep on the couch. After it happened, I asked to take off all the cables and let me hold her again for one last time. I just hope she didn't feel alone in her last moments...
They brought her in the other room covered in a blanket. I closed her eyes, it looked just like she was asleep. I held her lifeless body in my arms and sobbed uncontrollably. We called our parents and we couldn't say a word, just cries. We stayed with our baby a little bit longer in the room, talking to her even if she was already gone. After a while we had to go... we decided to cremate her body and not keep the ashes as it would just be a sad memory of her. They told us that she would get an autopsy as a last chance to find the cause but the probability of finding it was very slim.
We drove back home. The house felt empty, dead. I have never cried so much in my life. When I thought I had no more tears left in my body, more would come and I would start sobbing again. We hugged. We told ourselves that there was nothing else we could have done, and she would have died either way sooner or later. My dad said the only thing that managed to make me feel a little better: dogs don't have the same perception of time as we do. Our baby doesn't know that she died so young, all she knows is that she lived happily and was loved very much throughout her life. When we got in the shower, a hair brush fell on the floor. It was the hair brush that our puppy would always grab and run away with and would make us go mad. We like to think that she was still being silly from up there and that she was telling us to be strong and that she's okay. We took all her stuff and put it in the cellar, except her favorite toy that we kept as a memory. We booked the first flight in the morning to go see my girlfriend's family because we could not stay in the house right now. Our baby was not meant to live... Everything happened so fast, not even four days ago we thought it was just gastritis, and now we will never see her again. I hope she didn't suffer. I hope that in her dying moments she thought of the good times when she was running in the park chasing dogs 10 times her size while we were watching her, laughing our ass off. I hope she knew we loved her very much and will never be able to replace her. I hope she's in a better place now and can eat all the food she wants.
If anyone has any tips on how to feel better I would be more than glad to know about them. Right now it seems like there is no light at the end of the tunnel and I don't know how I will emotionally recover from this. We want to get another puppy soon but the void left by our baby in our hearts will never be truly filled. We already miss her so much, she was our everything. Rest In Peace baby girl.
TL;DR: Our 4 month old puppy died unexpectedly and brutally from an unknown illness and my girlfriend and I are struggling to make sense of the world right now.

I've always liked dogs but I hadn't thought of getting one before living in a big house with a yard. My girlfriend managed to change my mind about this and she convinced me to get a dachshund, and 1.5 months ago we stumbled online upon the most beautiful little creature and decided to bring her home. She immediately showed us so much affection and we responded by giving her all the love we had. We live in an apartment so we took her to the park multiple times a week, we walked her at least 6 times a day and played with her the whole day through. We were so motivated to do things right that we even followed a training course for little dogs and she already knew many tricks for her young age.
Four days ago, the wineries in our region opened their doors to everyone for wine tasting and it was a beautiful day along the lake so we took her with us. There are obviously a lot of vineyards so we were extremely careful to not let her go near the grapes. It was quite hot, around 24°C so we made sure to do plenty of breaks where our little baby could nap and drink water to hydrate. We were so careful. Later that day we sat outside at a bar, and we could feel our dog pull the leash. When we looked we saw that she was sniffing or licking some sort of vomit on the floor that we hadn't seen because the color of it was similar to the grass beneath it. We immediately changed table and our little baby fell asleep on my lap. A little bit later she woke up and puked on my shirt, we thought it was funny at the moment and that she must have eaten something that upset her tummy, probably the vomit which came from another dog. On the walk back home she was completely fine, wagging her tail and sniffing everything with her little snout as she usually did. We put her in her crate, kissed her goodnight and went to sleep.
The next day we woke up to her vomiting and being very lethargic. She didn't jump out of her crate like she usually did to greet us and lick our faces, she wasn't hungry while she usually destroys her meals in a few seconds and she didn't want to walk outside. She also randomly screamed in pain for a very brief moment here and there. We immediately called an emergency vet to come home because our usual clinic was closed for a national holiday. He came fast and examined her thoroughly, after which he concluded that it must be an acute gastritis, and provided some meds to make her feel better. However, our baby did not improve. She continued puking and screaming in pain after the vet left and we were already crying by then. We called the vet again and he came back, checked her thoroughly a second time by running an echograph and gave her an antispasmodic to stop the sharp pain. He still thought that it was a gastritis, and she would likely feel better very quickly, in a day or so. The antispasmodic made appeased her, she was still very lethargic but stopped having sharp pains so we were hopeful she would go back to jumping and running in no time.
Unfortunately, we woke up to her vomiting again. She hadn't eaten and barely drank for a day now, so I brought her to the emergency vet as soon as I woke up. They took her in very quickly to run an x-ray and other tests, and the doctor told me that she could have eaten something that stayed inside her in which case they would need to operate. Regardless, they kept her, and would call to give more information after getting the lab results. Not even an hour later, I was shopping groceries and I received the dreadful call. Her Potassium levels were way too high, the doctor was suspecting kidney failure and told me that she might need dialysis very quickly.

a good buddy of mine found an old stash of pure liquid jenknem from the 90’s an got about 7 solid-ish pints. Can i slam it with the phattest gauge needle in the nearest vet clinic or do i have to “shove it up there” (if you know what i mean😈🙏) ¿? lmk or im committing insurance fraud 💯

Australian undergraduate here, do the vet clinics in US discriminate if you graduated from a non-US vet school? Like because you don't have a huge amount of student loans they pay you less or something? Thinking of moving to US

2023.06.02 14:42 SeaworthinessSea7058 Cat with irregular breathing pattern and diagnostic plans
Hi! We're in the middle af finding out what's going on with our cat's breathing, and I am hoping to get some input as to whether the plan for future exams etc. makes sense, and if something's missing from it that could lead to an answer.
English is my third language, so please bear with me
Up until now our vet has done extensive bloodwork + stool sampling that showed nothing, as well as an x-ray that showed a bit af scar tissue on her lungs. No fluid in neither chest nor abdomen. The next step is getting her tested for toxoplasmosis and doing a PCR. If they don't provide a diagnosis the next step is doing a full CT scan to see if there's anything else going on.
Our vet (who is specialized in diagnostics etc.) seems at a loss with especially the breathing pattern and asked for us to send her videos of it to show to colleagues as she has never seen anything like it.
We are aware of the possible "We don't know what it is, but it's static so let's just keep an eye on her" but would really love to know if any of you have input to spare.
We're willing to pay pretty much anything (our insurance covers up till 6000 USD approx. and we have enough savings to add from as well) to find out what's going on.
Facts:Species: Cat, rescue from hoarder situation
Age: approx. 3 years old
Sex/Neuter status: Neutered female
Breed: Domestic
Body weight: 3 kgs
History: Rescued from hoarding situation along with 25 other cats
Clinical signs:Labored breathing when short of breath from playingOccasional interchangeable breathing between abdomen and chest (chest rises, then abdomen, then chest and so on)NOT fast breathing ever - pretty much always aroung 20-25 breaths pr. minuteOccasional Sneezing
Duration: since we got her in september, so at least 9 months
Your general location: Europe

2023.06.02 14:04 ganzzambbong Hello, can anyone help me interpret this bloodwork result? My cat is 5 years old, persian & himalayan mix and weighs 5.4 kg (he was 5.8 kg just a month ago though)
He started being somewhat lethargic a few weeks ago, we admitted him to the animal clinic a few days after his first symptom but they discharged him a few days after. His blood results then not showing anything serious so we just took him home. He returned to his normal self but only for a week or so because a few days ago he stopped eating and only drinking and peeing a lot. We took him back to the vet and they just ran a complete blood test and this is the result.

I'm waiting for the vet to call me to explain but they said that she's on an emergency case at the moment and she will call me soon but I'm too anxious, it has been a few hours so I decided to ask here, hopefully there are vets here that could help me. Thank you

I'm new here, I need advice two of my girls are not very well we tryed antibiotics from the vet it didn't work so the vet said to us to go to a specialist vet for exotic pets 2 hours aways in Maidstone, UK from where we live.The problem is we don't drive and will have to use the train then change to a bus and long walk to clinic and all. My partner and I are worried about the stress this will put on the girls.
Our girls are suffering from upper respiratory issues. And we don't know if the specialist will be able to do anything about it because we read about upper respiratory infections are not curable.

2023.06.02 12:07 _pinkyminky My cat is recovering from FPV. What should I expect in the coming weeks?
My female cat, a PersianxSiamese mix (1 year and 5 months old), is currently recovering from FPV. As soon as we noticed that she was a little lethargic and wasn’t eating, we rushed to the ER immediately. She didn’t have any symptoms other than these, we didn’t want to wait until she got worse. At the clinic, we found out that she was FPV positive.
We had her confined at the vet's clinic for 4-5 days, She was given IV fluids and some antibiotics, it looks like she's on the mend! Even after her first night, she already started looking better the next day, but we decided to keep her under their care for observation. No vomiting, no diarrhea and She's eating and drinking water on her own now!
I’m really excited for her to come home—but as an anxious furmom, just wanted to ask around since l'm sure there's still going to be some required after care for her. How long before I can say that she's truly recovered from FPV and that she's safe from it? Is there a possibility for a relapse? What should I expect in the next coming weeks? What should I look out for?
I'm iust a little scared because I love her so much and I don't know what l'd do without her-I want to make sure that she'll be okay.

2023.06.02 11:13 Comfortable_Brick526 Treatment options for Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).
- Species: horse
- Age: 10
- Sex/Neuter status: Gelding
- Breed: Paint
- Body weight: ~600kg
- History: -
- Clinical signs: weeping eye
- Duration: have only owned him the past 6 months
- location: Australia
I am wanting to understand the success rate of this sort of treatment or if there are any other options for him? Obviously I am devastated as it seems to be progressing quite quickly. He wears a fly veil during the day at all times even when riding as he has limited pigment around his eye due to his breed/colouring.
2023.06.02 11:01 solidad29 sort of [RANT] my dog has cancer
Bale medyo nakaluwag na ako ever since umalis na yung soon-to-be ex partner ko and I wanted na patingin yung dog ko na naiwan sa bahay. Meron siyang growth sa nasal part and nabobother din ako since very loyal (as most dogs) siya at ang laki din ng pinagsamahan namin.
Ayun, went to the best Vet clinic sa area namin (may experience na ako sa kanila since na tulungan ako doon sa dysintery ng last dog ko). Sure enough, binigay ko yung history it appears to be cancer. Given nga na nag swollen yung lymph nodes before then followed yung growth sa nasal area. Symptoms fit din so it's more of how far are we sa damage and if it's treatable.
Mahal din nagastos ko just to have a picture ng health ng dog ko. Almost 10K din. 😅 Nanlumo lang ako kasi given din sa finding ko, and likely coconlcude din ng vet na parang extension na lang ng buhay ang mangyayari. Chemo or surgery ang options. Neither seemed to be sure ball para ma cure siya.
Of course, Pallitive care other. Which basically, let nature run it's course.
Ayun. Medyo thorn talaga ako since I can't be super sure until tomorrow, and I am also anxious sa gastos na ma-aacumulate ko sa dog ko. I need to save din kasi sa condo ko for the next big payment sa September.
😤
Would I be a heartless asshole if I opted to Pallitve care kasi the cost is porhibitive?

2023.06.02 09:59 Grand_Ad_6357 I have a question? Sleep apnea or sleep disorder?
 | LONG READ. SORRY IN ADVANCE submitted by Grand_Ad_6357 to VeteransBenefits [link] [comments] For starters, I am currently have a 70% rating for MH/PTSD. Intent to file April 25 2023. Currently I am personally evidence gathering to submit full developed claim(s). I have been struggling with sleep since I got out of the service, but it has been more apparent to me within the last year. Due to my severe mental health/PTSD, I lack any and all motivation to work out leading to me BMI being approximately 35% (obese). I took an independent at-home sleep study using the WatchPAT device. I was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea and prescribed APAP treatment. The diagnosis was based on my hourly RDI not AHI. Diagnosis was in accordance with the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. The doctor who diagnosed me said I was on the cusp of having moderate OSA due to my RDI being 14.9 (mild) and 15 being moderate. The diagnosing doctor is licensed and on the national board of doctors. I was able to see the VA, and they allowed me to take a at-home test using the ApneaLink Air device. Research shows they do not reflect RDI , only AHI. Long story short, I did the test and shipped it back to the VA for interruption. I checked MyHealthVet, and it does not yet show the actual sleep study results. However, it shows three different sections indicating a sleep disorder. As seen in the photo above, it indicates that I have sleep apnea, unspecified on severity. However, it also indicates that I have a “sleep disorder not due to a sub (substance) or physical (physiological) condition” (Code: ICM-10-CM https://www.icd10data.com/ICD10CM/Codes/F01-F99/F50-F59/F51-/F51.9) This “sleep disorder” diagnosis is coming from the licensed pulmonologist/sleep doctor. Also circled is my Epworth rating, which was a 20. According to sleep medicine, a rating between 16-24 shows severe/excessive sleepiness (hypersomnia) I have a diagnosis of sleep apnea already. I have VA documentation indicating I have unspecified sleep apnea twice and a sleep disorder once. I’m trying to understand what the VA is trying to get at here? Any ideas? I was told that I “may” have sleep apnea but now they are unsure? I was told by my VA PCP that they want me to do a sleep clinical consult. With this medical documentation, do you think it is fair to say that it indicates a sleep disorder diagnosis? I plan on linking my sleep “apnea” or “disorder” through obesity to connect it to my service connected disability. Just curious if I have enough medical documentation? Do I have a VA diagnosis? Can I link my severe hypersomina without obtaining a OSA diagnosis? Is there a rating for “sleep disorder” or is it just “sleep apnea” I’m just extremely confused and curious on what insight you may have. Thank you |
