Okay thank you. I will try that. I wasn’t sure cause I know you had asked if she had been cleared by a vet so I was thinking maybe you were recommending taking her in ASAP or something aha

I’ll try all the changes. That was kind of my thinking too even before was that we should try changing a few things and see what happens and then if nothing changes then take her in but then I got so caught up with everything else I really haven’t tried it yet.

And ah okay. Idk. I just know with Gator and even DB&FSIL’s vet they would try to get us to do bloodwork or at least the heart worm test like every year. Gators stopped asking about blood work he tried to do it once and I think my dad said Gator almost bit him or something? So then we think vet was slightly scared of him and never asked after that ha but my dad also never did it, except a couple times when he was younger, so it got kind of pointless asking too I guess aha but idk. I just know that I’ve had multiple vets ask about bloodwork, heart worm, etc. tests for the dogs but never for the cat. So I thought it was common for dogs. But maybe not?

I really need a second one because there are multiple occasions where it would be super helpful. I end up cooking something that will hold, transferring it, washing the pot, and starting the other thing. This happens regularly enough but I'm also cheap so I'm waiting for another open box return :gig

But, I would also say @KDOGG331 should use the one she has for a while before she invests in a second and only do so if she discovers some need.

My SIL has one she NEVER uses but she had to have an Insta-Pot and she had all the best intentions of using it. Now, it's in the cabinet with the bread machine collecting dust. :idunno

Thank you. This is a good idea. I will follow this strategy. And yeah I definitely don’t want to end up never using it haha I’m planning to open it and use it soon though thankfully. Just not today haha



Awww so adorable.



Idk. All I know is every vet we’ve gone to has charged an office visit for walking in the door haha even if they only get a shot or two, office visit. Although of course we usually only go once a year so that usually includes the physical exam too so maybe if we went back so soon after the annual exam they wouldn’t charge?? Idk. They didn’t charge an office visit for the grooming appointments. But usually when we go, even at the super reasonable/more old school vet we took Gator too, they always charged for an office visit. Except sometimes he refilled meds a couple times for us without a visit. But still. Usually always had one. And the cat’s vet does too. Luna’s vet is a VCA too. And they’ve always charged us an office visit :confused:

The office visit is usually like $50-$60 bucks too.

Oh sorry, I thought you meant something like a CBC or chemistry panel. A heartworm test is standard.

If they’re only going in annually for their shots then yea, the vet needs to do a wellness exam before giving vaccines. Giving a vaccine to a sick animal could kill them.
Going in for 2 week boosters or something like a post-op after surgery should not include an exam charge.

Well, I was kind of meaning full bloodwork I guess? I don’t know. Are there different kinds of bloodwork? Do you draw blood for heart worm tests? I don’t even know. :oops: but Luna has never had any of that done as far a know. Not a full blood work panel/disease testing, not a heart worm test, not anything. They have asked for Gator but not Luna. But then again I’ve usually always told them she’s indoor so maybe that’s why? :oops:

And okay, that makes sense thank you. Yeah, we always do the exam, not trying to skimp out on that or anything haha, but they always usually charge but then again I’ve never been back that close. But even when Gator was going in a bunch they charged but I guess that was for separate issues so makes sense I guess.

Apparently so :lau :oops:

Was wondering why the quotes were all so messed up until I just went back and realized I was the one who initially messed it up to begin with by apparently deleting this symbol [ at the beginning of one of them haha whooooooooopppppps.... just fixed it. :oops:
