Their first diagnosis was that it was an atypical Addison's Crisis. Now, they are thinking Pancreatitis. Her blood had thickened so much they couldn't even analyze it until they thinned it. Because of out idiot $#@!ed in the head Democrat Governor and her asinine restrictions, my wife and I can't even enter the clinic to see her. If she dies, it will be among strangers, hooked up to IV tubes instead of in the place that has been her home for the last 9 years.

    Forgive me if I am not in the mood for a bunch of jokes about dogs being put to sleep or stomped to death.
    I'm with you on this. WE pull up in the parking lot, call the office ans then they come and take our dog/s in and we don't even get to see the vet. Because they don't have to deal with the owners, the office call is done in a couple of minutes and out comes the dog and a bill.
    They can now handle twice as much business as before. Faster moving turnstyle equals more money.
    But it doesn't change that now it's impersonal. I'd rather allow my pet to pass away at home than take them to a place where I cant see them or be with them if it is end of days care.

    You're in one of the strictest states, with the mandates, yet they still have covid spikes .

    I guess Newsome's iron fist rules, aren't so great.

    We're doing a lot better here, in my city......you'd probably be SAFER here.
    NO!!! Do not encourage him to move out of his state. Let him sleep in the bed he's made

    which references Environmental Research, a legitimate, peer-reviewed scientific journal.
    Wikipedia has this to say about that publication:
    Environmental Research is a peer-reviewed environmental science and environmental health journal published by Elsevier.[1] The editor in chief is Jose L. Domingo.[2] The journal's 2017 impact factor of 4.732 placed it 24th (10th percentile) out of 242 journals in the category Environmental Sciences, and 12th (7th percentile) out of 181 journals in the category Public, Environmental, and Occupational Health.[3]

    So: Finding in a legit, peer-review journal with a decent reputation? Sounds like the ball is in YOUR court to actually SHOW that it is bad science, rather than just mindlessly denigrating it.

    I'll wait.

    You have to fear your Democrat mayor's criminals more than COVID.
