In my opinion we will see a BTC bull run during this whole year but without the alts,in other words there will be no bull run for ICP this year but rather a sideways action and a massive Bull run for BTC.The whales will do everything to scare the last weak hands and in my opinion a lot of hodlers will give up and switch to BTC if alts do not have a bull run and then another bear market or whatever.I think this is the only way to make doubt the last hodlers who are not selling.JUST SPECULATING ,im here longterm and im just chilling in here😃👍 icp IS THE FUTURE so this is why im thinking that way!

So I’m 28 and I’ve been doing delivery work to make ends meet while I try to make music. Pretty much a starving artist at this point but I’m happy at least trying to follow my dreams. I had a shop and deliver I was working on yesterday and one order was really small it was just some eggs and other breakfast foods. When I went to drop the order off it was at an address near the college town but I figured it wouldn’t be too rowdy given the contents of the order.
When I set the order down on the step and went to take a picture I accidentally dropped one of the bags which didn’t have the eggs btw, 2 guys came out with phones in hand recording and started talking shit to me. I didn’t know what to do so I just apologized and started to walk back. These fuckers threw a fucking egg at my back as I was walking and I wasn’t about to try and get my ass kicked so I took off running. I lost my balance and slipped on the wet grass, which sent them into an uproar and of course they’re sitting there filming me telling me how useless I am and that I’m a loser because I can’t even do this job right. I usually have thick skin but that got to me and I started to cry. To top this off one of the girls at the house comes out and cracks an egg over my back as I’m trying to get up and they act like they’re about to grab more but decide I’ve had enough. I couldn’t even finish out the day I just came home this shit just sucks.

What follows is the transcript of a piece I wrote for a (UK-based) radio show a couple of years ago, so apologies in advance for the slightly odd phrasing and the presumption of a certain level of knowledge of Eurovision Song Contest history.
Anyone who'd followed the build-up to the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest would have been forgiven for wondering if the entire event was losing its mind.
To begin with, the 1974 contest was held in Brighton in the UK, despite the fact Luxembourg had won the previous year. Normally the winner claimed the right to host the next pageant, but Luxembourg declined as 1973 was its second successive win and the cost of hosting Eurovision twice in a row were too much for the diminutive nation to bear.
Not to be outdone, the UK involved Australia in the contest 41 years before its official debut by choosing Olivia Newton-John as its representative. She courted further controversy by disagreeing with the entry the public voted for and stating afterwards that she'd wanted to sing something else.
This was after France pulled out of the competition at short notice, as it clashed with a memorial service for its former president Georges Pompidou, who'd died in office four days previously. Malta also withdrew, but mysteriously neglected to tell anybody why.
Greece competed for the first time in 1974, but did so under the worst possible conditions, sending a substitute performer after their original entry – rock group Nostradamus – were involved in a scandal involving a rape allegation related to a possible blackmail attempt.
Then the Italian state broadcaster refused to broadcast the competition for the most Italian reason possible: the country was in the middle of an intense referendum campaign over whether to legalise divorce. It was argued that the country's entry – entitled “Si” – could be construed as subliminal message to vote “yes” in the referendum. So although Italy still competed, the song was banned from Italian media.
Ultimately, Sweden triumphed with an entry called 'Waterloo'. The writers and performers of the song were a band called ABBA, who used it as a launchpad for a decade-long career in which they sold over 150 million albums and more or less conquered the world.
Amid these shenanigans, observers would have been forgiven for overlooking the Portuguese entry on the night. Most voters certainly did, meaning Paulo de Carvalho's Vegas-style ballad 'E Depois do Adeus' ended the night 14th and equal last alongside Germany and Switzerland, having received only 3 points.
However, certain extremely influential individuals were listening, meaning that Carvalho's song ultimately left a greater mark on history even than ABBA's.
At the time, Portugal was ruled by a brutal quasi-fascist dictatorship known as the Estado Novo, or “New State”. By the early 1970s, this regime was increasingly unpopular due to its oppressive policies and the immense human and financial costs of Portugal's ongoing colonial wars in its African and Asian colonies.
On April 24 1974, 19 days after Carvalho's Eurovision performance in Brighton, a radio station in Portugal's capital, Lisbon, played 'E Depois do Adeus' at 10:55pm. On this signal, an organisation of politically left-leaning Portuguese military officers known as the MFA launched a coup.
The MFA broadcast appealed for the public to stay indoors while it was taking place, but on hearing that someone was trying to overthrow the hated Estado Novo, thousands of civilians took to the streets armed with nothing but red carnations. They gave the flowers to the MFA troops, who wore them on their uniforms and placed them in their gun barrels.
The military coup became a popular movement. Within hours, the “Carnation Revolution” had deposed the Estado Novo with barely a shot fired.
'E Depois do Adeus' translates into English as “and after the farewell”. The following year, Portugal held its first democratic election in nearly half a century.
The song.
The show.

This is a summary of Digital Daily #9 (March 19th). Detailed are events that happen after the POV comp.
Pre-Digital Daily: Dan nominated Renee and Hope [unclear on Hope as the second nom]. The winner of the POV is Zach!
TL;DR:
Digital Daily #9 kicks off in the bedroom. General chit-chat and everyday life for a while. In the library, Kuzie and Santina have a talk about the game: Kuzie advises Santina to blame the guys for her JM backdoor; Santina leans into blaming Zach for everything, and reveals that he is her target; we learn that a plan to backdoor Roberto is common knowledge among the houseguests. Later downstairs, Santina and Jonathan discuss the backdoor situation: Jonathan’s best friend is Roberto, so he confides in Santina; Santina continues to rally people against Zach; Jonathan says he would want to work with Jonathan/Santina/Roberto/Dan. Santina goes to the library to have a conversation with Ty: Ty defends Zach by painting him as a bigger target than Santina; Ty suggests they force Zach’s hand by including him in a plan to evict Dan, possibly next week; we learn that Zach is the winner of the POV and plans to backdoor Roberto; Ty campaigns against Roberto by leading Santina to believe she can take Roberto’s spot with the girls after he leaves. In the bedroom, Shanaya confronts Roberto about the status of their relationship: Shanaya expresses her attraction to Roberto, and demands he reveal his intentions with her; Roberto friend-zones her; Roberto says he found out yesterday that people he was working with are now against him so that’s where his head’s at.
Going into detail…
0:00:07 - Pink Bedroom - Bedroom Stuff
Renee/Shanaya/Claudia get dressed in the bedroom. Ty walks in. Renee complains that Zach left his used underwear near her makeup.
0:02:58 - Backyard - Work Out
Roberto and Dan lift weights together in the backyard. No talking going on.
0:04:24 - Pink Bedroom - Bedroom Stuff
Back in the bedroom, Renee/Ty/Santina continue to get dressed. Santina asks how Ty is doing, and she apologizes for dropping her water bottle in the middle of the night. Ty: “yeah that scared me.”
0:05:55 - Kitchen - Burst of Energy
Suddenly the camera switches over to the kitchen where Hope/Shanaya/Kuzie/Anika/Roberto get wild. They sing loudly and dance and shake. Lots of laughing. Shanaya: “I needed that!” Hope hugs her and then Kuzie. Roberto: “I had to come join you guys!” The conversation dies down. Anika continues cooking breakfast for 6 various hungry houseguests. Kuzie assists her.
0:10:05 - Pantry - Jonathan Encourages Hope
Hope and Jonathan go over the last competition together as they wait for their breakfast to heat in the toaster oven. Jonathan encourages Hope: “you gotta remember, that next one (where Hope wins) is coming.”
0:10:42 - Kitchen - Kitchen Stuff
Anika/Kuzie/Shanaya continue to prep food in the kitchen.
0:12:16 - Pantry - Hope’s Hope
Hope talks about which kinds of comps he wants for the next HOHs so that he has a chance at winning (ones where you “brawl” in). Jonathan says the slip-n-slide comp might be made for him.
0:12:58 - Library - Kuzie & Santina One-on-One
Santina tells Kuzie that she plans on talking to the girls today to get closer. Kuzie says that’s a good idea, as the other girls have said they don’t entirely trust Santina. Kuzie says nobody expects that she (Kuzie) knows anything, they think that she is just running around looking for answers. Kuzie suggests Santina keep playing off her HOH week as if she didn’t know getting JM out was her plan (i.e. shift the blame to the guys). Santina: “it wasn’t my plan!” However, she says, Zach is “very very very very good at convincing.” Kuzie: “how did he convince you to do that?” Santina: “JM did say he wanted to put Rob up on the block if he was HOH.” Kuzie: “who did he say that to?” Santina: “myself and one of the guys maybe.” About JM targeting Roberto: “but that doesn’t affect me, like at that time, do you know what I mean?” (She is leaning into the “Zach tricked me!” thing). Anika enters to let Kuzie know that breakfast is ready. Kuzie thanks her and Anika leaves. Santina: “I would have kept JM.” Kuzie: “to play with him right?” Santina: “yeah, and apparently he was going around telling people things, but the more and more I asked people they said JM wasn’t speaking game with anyone, so he was true to his word to me.” Kuzie about noms: “so what would you rather happen this week, like if it’s Renee and Rob?” Santina: “I would rather Rob stay, because he would go after… my target. Not that Zach is, but, he is.” They laugh. Santina says if Zach stay in the game, nobody will be able to make a move of their own; Zach will have too much control. Santina: “I don’t think that’s fair.” Kuzie says she hasn’t had a moment where she has had to choose a side, but that time is coming. Kuzie says JM staying would have been better for her game, and that Dan should have gone because he’s an actual threat; nobody knows what Dan is thinking and he doesn’t talk game with anyone. Kuzie asks if Santina is good with Roberto. Santina: “well I was told that he doesn’t trust me because of what I did to JM.” Santina says she asked Roberto if he trust her or not. Kuzie: “do you think he’s not gonna say yes.” Santina becomes confused “i don’t know! I don’t know…” Kuzie advises that Santina have more conversations with Roberto where Santina conveys that she had nothing to do with any plans of backstabbing or backdooring; Kuzie says to take her first convos with him with a grain of salt, as being HOH complicated Santina/Roberto’s talking dynamic. Kuzie: “this dirty game…” they hug and prepare to part ways. Santina: “when I talk to you it feels so genuine. You and Jonathan… and that’s what I want to work with. And now I’m playing a sneaky game and I don’t want to.” They leave the room. Kuzie: “that’s what happens with people that are cutthroat..”
0:19:48 - Backyard - Santina Spreads Anti-Zach Ideas // Jonathan’s Proposed Alliance
Santina/Jonathan sit in the backyard and quietly talk. Jonathan tells Santina he feels “extremely bad” about the JM situation. Jonathan: “I was told I— us— we were targets.” Santina: “oh JM?” Jonathan: “yeah.” Jonathan says he grew to love JM. Santina says it has made her think about her game; she doesn’t want to play the sneaky game [she seems to be in an anti-Zach mood]. Jonathan says if he (Jonathan) ever got HOH, he would put his targets on the block and give them a chance at the veto; “maybe I’m stupid for that, but..” Santina: “that’s how I wanted to play.” Jonathan says he isn’t gaming in a “mischievous way.” Jonathan says that “someone” asked him in a pointed conversation, “are you siding with ‘them’? Are you on ‘their’ side?” Jonathan reenacts his shocked confusion: “sides? Why are there sides?” Jonathan says he trusts Santina, and Roberto, and.. “I don’t know, but definitely Roberto. He’s like, my guy. I trust him. ..and you!” Jonathan says he could see how genuine Santina is from Day 1. Santina says she just had a people in her head making her play a game she didn’t want to play. Jonathan suggests she block them out. Jonathan: “when I heard Rob was an option (to leave this week), it hurt me. Because he’s my friend. And then to find out that the person you thought was your friend masterminded the whole thing… I was like, what.” Santina says a lot of people will be gunning for HOH this next week. Santina says moving forward, she doesn’t want to backdoor people: “if I were backdoored, I would blow the f—king house up.” Jonathan: “yeah, I feel deceived for sure.” Jonathan says they are on the same page; so is Roberto. Jonathan mentions Dan as a strong asset, Santina agrees, “but he’s very easily convinced… and there are people that can convince.” Jonathan says if you stay true to it, you go to the end with those 4-5. “That’s just, brainstorming..” A pause. Santina: “did you eat breakfast?” Jonathan says yeah. Santina doesn’t say much. They speculate when the veto ceremony will be. Santina yawns and says she’s tired, they begin talking about tea [lmao I guess the alliance convo is done]. Santina wonders how she’s being portrayed in the show. Jonathan encourages her: it’s not about how you start, it’s about how you finish. Jonathan says a lot of people thought there was a guys alliance but there never was. Jonathan doesn’t want to work with all guys. Santina yawns again so they get up to get tea.
0:32:02 - Library - Ty & Santina One-on-One
Ty waits for someone (apparently anyone) to enter and join him for a game of pool. Santina enters and asks to join. They play. Santina asks how Ty is mentally. Ty: “I’m great.” Santina says she’s struggling; “I’m thinking of the best decision to do for myself… with you, I can say, but it’s hard to say that to others. Zach’s one hard person to talk to. That’s all I know.” Ty: “so you feeling stressed?” Santina says the house is stressing her out. Ty asks if the house is doing something she doesn’t want. Santina says she is a very “energy” person, and she can feel it. Ty says everyone sees Zach as a mastermind, but his personality is just focused on the game. Ty: “for me, I try to take into account people’s feelings and emotions. We’re people at the end of the day… but I do think, in terms of game, that Zach does have our best interest in mind. that’s just my perspective.” Ty says he would rather work with someone that thinks about the game than with someone that is worried about how they are feeling and spreads anxiety. Santina: “do you think he’s [Roberto] anxious because of the relationship that we all had [Santina/Ty/Zach] at the beginning when you weren’t really talking to him?” Ty: “I was talking to him though, that’s the thing. As soon as he started making comments about not trusting Zach, I backed off because I wasn’t going in the middle of that.” Ty says he told Zach to take care of the Santina/JM situation because he cares about the boys, and Santina is included in “the boys”. Santina asks where Ty sees Jonathan in all of this. Ty calls Jonathan impressionable and says he will go with whoever he is in the room with. Ty says he just goes to Jonathan and tells him the plans. Ty: “I love Jonathan, but everyone needs to recognize their strengths and weaknesses.” Santina asks how Zach feels about her right now. Ty: “I think he’s more hurt that you don’t trust him.” Santina: “it’s hard for me to trust someone that’s friends with everyone.” Ty says “the best thing I can offer you is”, and explains that Dan is Zach’s biggest asset, as he is a comp beast and wants to work with Zach. So they could force Zach’s hand by saying they have to get rid of Dan. Ty says his problem with Roberto is that he feels uncomfortable with Ty, uncomfortable with Zach, uncomfortable with Santina, and he goes and tells everyone else. Ty asks what Santina thinks about forcing Zach’s hand by planning to target Dan. Santina about Dan: “he’s very strong!” Santina asks if the house is on board with evicting Roberto. Ty says yes, even people that you’d think are his numbers are on board; even Shanaya has a problem with him. Ty says if they don’t get rid of Roberto this week, he will charm his way back into numbers. Ty says when Roberto is gone, Santina can take his place and work with the girls since she’s so worried about having her own numbers. They play pool and Santina thinks. Santina: “I’m okay with it… I’m okay with it.” Santina asks if “he uses the veto (presumably to get Roberto onto the block), won’t it look like… like last week you used the veto, this week he’s using the veto.. and it just shows kinda who’s in charge.” [Zach won POV and plans to take someone down to backdoor Roberto]. Ty says having it look like Zach controlled this week’s HOH by using the veto will make Zach a bigger target than themselves. Ty says Roberto needs to go this week, for Santina’s sake, because if Roberto stays in the game, Santina will never have strong allies and then she will be an easy target for Zach. Ty says Dan knows he has to take on Ty, which is why Ty wants him gone. Ty emphasizes, “if Zach is gone, you’re next.” Santina: “you’re right…” Ty says he is here to play the game. He might be in a showmance thing, but it’s only to soften his image. Ty sums up how Roberto got himself on the block: Roberto “went around the house” planting seeds of doubt against the guys, worrying about being backdoored. Shanaya told Claudia who told Ty. Ty: “okay, that’s where your mind is… you clearly don’t trust your people so now, it’s gonna happen.” Santina: “well I will talk to Zach later today, because I agree completely with what you’re saying.” Ty says again that they should force Zach’s hand next week; then they can fully trust him. Santina: “thank you. Because you’re right.” Ty says it’s way too early for their group to be going against each other, but Roberto has already started. Santina: “I have to win HOH next week.” They think. Ty: “would you feel comfortable making a move against Dan next week?” Santina: “mhmm! I would have had Dan leave instead of JM, 100% I would have.” Ty defends getting rid of JM.
0:56:46 - Pink Bedroom - Shanaya’s Ultimatum
Shanaya tells Roberto that she is an open book. Shanaya says she hasn’t been attracted to anyone like she is to him. Shanaya says she’s not accusing him of playing games, but… she says what’s driving her “lost in the sauce” is that she doesn’t know where he stands. “We can play a game together, but I’m having a hard time.” [say you love me or I’m working against you] Roberto explains that yesterday he wasn’t trying to ignore her; he had to talk to a lot of people, people that he thought were on his side but now are against him: “I don’t know why this blew up or how my name was dragged into it but…” Back to Shanaya’s ultimatum: Roberto lets Shanaya down easy. He compliments her, but tells her he won’t tell her “sweet nothings” and truthfully he doesn’t know where he stands emotionally on their relationship. Roberto rambles for a while about not wanting to hurt anyone. Shanaya, after sitting in silence: “I think, I need to pull back from you.” Roberto: “that’s fair.” Shanaya: “yeah.” Roberto asks if that means just emotionally or..? Shanaya says she cares about Roberto. Shanaya says she needs distance herself from him. Roberto hopes they can be friends. Roberto: “just let me know if you’re sending me out of here.” Shanaya laughs as if she’s not. Roberto: “I’m not kidding. Because there’s gonna be discussions soon about sending me out of here. And I know you’re probably close with whoever is gonna send me out of here.” Shanaya asks who those friends are. Roberto says he doesn’t know, he’s paranoid. Lots of talking in circles. Roberto emphasizes that he didn’t use his flirtatiousness with Shanaya to get ahead in the game. Shanaya: “I don’t think that..”
1:03:16 - Purple Bedroom - Shanaya Tells the Girls
Renee/Shanaya/Claudia/Anika sit in the bedroom. Before the camera switch, Renee asked if Anika has her mind made up on the vote. Anika: “i don’t want to promise anything because I don’t know who will be up on the block next you if Zach uses the veto.” Renee turns around and sees Shanaya. Knowing she just talked with Roberto, she asks how it went, on a scale from 1-10. Shanaya: “embarrassing” The other girls: “really? Awww” Renee says to vent. Shanaya: “AHHHH I just got friend-zoned!” Renee: “like how was the delivery, wait how did you get into it.” Shanaya: “so I said… in the real world I’m a very straight-up person blah blah blah, and when I meet someone that I’m attracted to I’m just open about it. And I don’t meet people very often where I’m genuinely interested in them. And I didn’t come here looking for a showmance, but I’m having a hard time figuring out where I stand with this, on a personal level.” Shanaya reenacting what Roberto said: “I think you are an amazing person, it was longer than this but basically it’s not really how I see our relationship, and then he called me friend, I was like ughhhh.” Renee asks if Shanaya kept her composure. Shanaya: “yeah I was like, it was very chill.” Shanaya says she knew in her gut that that’s how it was. Renee hugs her in support. Shanaya: “it’s so embarassingggg.” The other girls commend her for being vulnerable and pursuing something instead of letting it pass by. Shanaya begins to cry at the compliments. Claudia joins the hug. Shanaya: “it needed to happen.” Shanaya says she told Roberto that she needs to pull back from him. Renee: “maybe he’s just not interested in anyone here.” Renee reminds them all that there is a whole life on the outside and there’s gonna be a time for that. Renee: “I wanted it to work out differently for you girl, but I’m happy that you can now see you for you and build NayNay for NayNay, and not NayNay for someone else. And that’s the tea.” Renee says they will save her (Renee) booty this week and dominate next week. Shanaya begins to cry again because “it’s hard not to develop feelings”. They continue to comfort her. And that’s a wrap for Digital Daily #9!

When you guys make tea without sweetener does yours start out bitter I remember i was making a honey celestial seasoning tea I followed the instructions to a T but it ended up still bitter I found the only time I would ever get the flavour of any tea was when adding a sweetener
For context I used a boiler device for my water and i poured it over it and let it steep I've also tried boiling the bag/ loose leaf before same outcome. What did you do if yours is not bitter

I'm planning to buy a house in western NC in the next 18 months, but I can't really tell what I should do. I only have about 10K for a down payment, if I'm extremely diligent I can have at least 18 by the time I'm ready to buy. My fiance and I are paying $1600/mo rent right now and are fairly comfortable, I'm not too worried about the payments of a ~200k house with 5% down at 6% if I can get it.
What I'm most worried about is repeating the mistake my dad made in 06, when he bought a house right before the market crashed. He wound up selling it to the state for Section 8 housing after his business failed and he needed to liquidate.
I have a pretty reliable income so I'm not worried about pressure to sell under duress, but I am worried about paying more for a house than it'll ever be worth. To that end, I'm hoping to see the rate increases push down prices to what the market will bear, but I'm worried if fence-sitting is going to leave me in a worse situation than I would be if I try to buy sometime in the next 6 months.

Hello every body. Recently, I had to deal with a very painful loss of a long time pet. He was being treated at my local VCA hospital but his condition got worse and worse and they couldn't figure out what was wrong. None of the doctors could figure out what was wrong. I initially found this very squishy lump on his chest. It felt as if somebody had put a liquid in his body and it sunk down to the low part of his chest when standing. Over the course of two days, this tiny tiny squishy area of tissue spread almost all over his body, at such a rapid rate. The vet ruled out the possibility of a viral or bacterial infection, so I decided to put him down because I couldn't bear to see him suffer any longer. His case was so baffling and frustrating to me as it started off with what appeared to be something lodged in his stomach with a side of pnuemonia, to this sudden appearance of swelling. I had assumed the swelling was cancerous and it coincidentally came at the same time as his digestive issues. However, I just discovered that my puppy at home has the same exact lump. I was outside with him and out of curiosity I decided to feel his chest and I felt the SAME EXACT soft tissue. My heart sunk...and now I'm just at a loss for words. Not only were the vet's unable to figure out what was wrong with my first pet, but now it's apparently contagious??? After spending so much money the first time around I genuinely cannot deal with this immediately after. But, I have to ask, has anybody here ever heard of a case like this??

Okay, I'm so shit at writing posts like this but I'll try my best so please bear with me lol.
I'm looking for a longterm, monogamous relationship with someone who doesn't care about gender roles or maybe even wants them slightly reversed - the kind of person who has one hand on the steering wheel and the other one on my thigh. Lmao I don't know why I'm so oddly specific but these are the kind of things that float around in my head when I think about my perfect relationship.
But here is a bit more about me: I'm 182cm tall and I weigh 68kg - I'm not super muscly or anything like that but I'm in pretty good shape. I have greenish eyes and dark blonde hair which I usually keep pretty long. I dress masculine. Btw I don't have a problem sharing (sfw) pictures I'm just not comfortable with posting them publicly on reddit.
Hobbywise I like hiking in the austrian alps, going to the gym and some gaming on PC every now and then. I haven't been travelling much recently (well, for obvious reasons) but I want to catch up on that. In case you send me a message: what are some places you really want to visit? I'm not a big movie or TV show fan but maybe that'll change once I have someone to cuddle into. 😊
Okay this was kind of all over the place but if you are still interested just send me a message and introduce yourself (you dont have to write paragraphs but at least a few sentences would be nice:))

Are there any major pros/cons between using marine grease (such as one below), and using bike-specific grease such as Park Tool HPG-1 or Phil Wood Waterproof Grease (which seem 2-3x more expensive /oz)?

This would be for greasing the frame threads/spindle, before installation of a HTII bottom bracket & cranks.
Also, how would this work for re-greasing/packing wheel hubs?
Thank you.

I don’t know if this is the right place to ask, but bear with me please. I’ve been trying to get a seed of one upscaled image but to no avail. The envelope doesn’t send me the seed of a single upscaled pic, only if I want the seed of the 4 generated ones.
If I try to fetch the seed from my accounts it won’t copy it either.
So maybe it already got asked, but I couldn’t find it anywhere!
Sorry and thank you in advance!

My girlfriend and I have a cat, “K” who had a follow up vet appointment last month for an unrelated issue (belly rash). The vet mentioned she was behind on vaccinations (one for rabies, and a FVRCP booster) and I figured we should go ahead with them. A couple hours later, at home, she threw up her entire breakfast, and afterward, refused to eat anything. She lost two pounds in about a week.
Fatty liver syndrome and jaundice set in soon, and we returned to the vet. She was prescribed three medications: one for her liver, an antidepressant, and an appetite stimulator.
These last couple of weeks have shown mild improvement, with her eating a small amount at least once a day. Her latest blood work also shows improvement in her vital stats. But overall, she is still refusing to eat most of the time and is intaking about a quarter of the calories she used to eat in a day. She barely moves, and has lost enough muscle mass that she sometimes can’t jump onto our bed, where she spends most of her time.
We have tried a variety of foods, which include her usual kibble, wet foods, chopped up chicken and tuna, and squeeze tube treats. On particularly bad days, we have to force feed her with a syringe. It’s taken a toll on our mental health, and I’m worried she isn’t improving fast enough. We will continue to follow our vet’s advice, but I’m curious if anyone out there has any insight that we missed.
Thank you.
