I am hoping to go backpacking (3 day, 2 night) in Lassen in about a month and would love input/help coming up with a route that minimizes time spent in the super scorched areas while still seeing some of the highlights of the park. I have looked at the maps of the burned areas and know being in burnt timber is going to be somewhat unavoidable but would love input from anyone who has hiked there post-fire. Thanks all!
Was it any special kind of felt?
What kind of felt did you use? It looks perfect for a project I have in mind
Do you know the name of his condition? Vet student here and I would love to read up on it. He is so lucky to have such loving owners ❤️
Where'd you get the striped PJs? I have a similarly shaped/vertically challenged dog
Hyphema. Blood in the anterior chamber of the eye
Where did you find this? It would honestly be an excellent teaching tool to convince owners to allow dental cleanings on their dogs
It used to be the case (pre 2000s) that teaching hospitals were also less than private practice rates because hey, we're learning over here! Not so much anymore. I believe the change can be linked to both a general increase in cost of veterinary care and a change in philosophy of how teaching hospitals are run. This is anecdotal/based on my experience working with vets who went to the same school I'm at 30 years ago and comparing to my experience today, but I think vet school teaching hospitals are now run like any other big hospital, meaning they want to make money. This doesn't reflect a change in the quality or morals of doctors employed at these hospitals - they are field leaders and experts - it's a change on the part of whoever/whatever factors decide pricing at these hospitals. Teaching hospitals now, for the most part, have diagnostic capabilities that the vast majority of hospitals don't have i.e. PET scans, nuclear scintigraphy, all kinds of crazy stuff. You're paying "best doctors in the world" and "highest diagnostic capabilities" prices.
Vet student here. Procedures done at vet schools are almost always going to be markedly more expensive than equivalent procedures done at smaller clinics. Even specialty exotics hospitals will likely be a bit cheaper than a vet school/teaching hospital.
I would recommend calling all hospitals that see exotics within the radius you are willing to travel and see if any of them have a doctor willing to perform abdominal surgery on a Leo. You may have to travel far to find one, but if you can find a GP with exotics experience, it will be considerably cheaper. The clinic I worked at in Los Angeles would have likely charged 1000-1200 for this surgery. Best of luck!
Lol I didn't think that kinda thing happened in my neighborhood... Lesson learned
I definitely thought he had pitty but I was really expecting some chondrodystrophic breed like basset or corgi! I think he could have dwarfism. Whatever he is, he is perfect and I love him with my whole heart

Love me a sleepy pup. Do you know what kind of mix he is? He's sooooo squishy
Dog was probably being evaluated as part of a dysphagia workup. There are plenty of medical indications for doing a dynamic barium study in dogs.
Surprisingly there wasn't any basset in his DNA results! Here's his mix according to embark: http://embk.me/ernie217?utm_campaign=cns_ref_dog_pub_profile&utm_medium=other&utm_source=embark
Please do!
