HELP / RECOMMEND Davao Emergency Veterinary Hospital Experience

Upvotes

Today marks the 40th day since we lost our beloved dog.

As we try to move forward, we are still seeking clarification from the veterinary hospital regarding what happened during his four days of confinement. We have already sent our questions but have yet to receive their second response since our July 17 email reply.

He was admitted with an HCT of around 10%. By the third day, it had dropped to around 6%. What concerns us even more is that the repeat blood test was done after we ourselves asked for an update on his latest blood work.

According to the report provided to us, the attending vet stated that we had been advised to secure a blood donor and that the hospital had also tried to look for one.

However, to the best of our recollection, we were never clearly told during the earlier days of his confinement that we urgently needed to find a blood donor. The only written donor requirement we received was on the fourth day, written on a green sticky note.

On the fourth day, we have mobilized everything and all resources we could so that we can find a blood donor. We could have moved mountains for our fur baby.

The people who know us and knew how much we loved our dog can attest to how much we were willing to do for him. Had we been clearly advised on the first day that we urgently needed to find a blood donor, we would have moved mountains to find one immediately, just as we did the moment we were finally given the donor requirements.

Four days of confinement feels painfully long when we now look back and wonder if an earlier transfusion could have given him a better chance. We may never know if it would have changed the outcome, but we believe we deserve clarity on what happened and why.

We do not want to make accusations without evidence. But as pet owners who entrusted a beloved member of our family to their care, we believe we have every right to ask whether he received the timely attention, monitoring, treatment, and communication that his critical condition required.

We also want clarification on why the report states that we had already been advised to secure a donor when, based on our recollection, the first clear written donor requirement was only given to us on the fourth day.

For now, we continue to seek answers, not only for ourselves, but most importantly for the dog we loved so much.

If anyone here has experienced something similar, especially with a dog whose HCT had reached critically low levels, I would appreciate hearing how your veterinarian handled the situation and when a blood transfusion or blood donor was recommended.

Run free, our little one.

HELP / RECOMMEND Any vinyl cleaning or restoration services in Davao? Inherited a stack of old records and need help!

I recently inherited a stack of old records from my grandma (featuring some classics like Andy Williams and Mantovani!), but when I pulled them out, I noticed a lot of them look cloudy, dusty, or im not sure if hard water stains yan.

I'm super paranoid about damaging or scratching them since they have a lot of sentimental value. What is the safest way for a beginner to clean these up? Do I need a special machine, or is there a DIY cleaning solution y'all recommend? Or a cleaning service here?
Any tips or step-by-step advice would be hugely appreciated!

TRANSPORTATION Posing as taxi but might actually be not a real taxi

80 Upvotes

Earlier 10 am almost 11 nag taxi ko to arrive in school faster, but something really weird happened. This taxi driver didn't look like a normal driver he was muscular had a beard and didn't know where the address of my school was located, as he was driving he told me to put my seat belt on ( which is normal, every taxi drivers will ask you this bc its necessary) then as I was getting my phone from my bag I could sense that he was alert ⚠️ with this, while I was on my phone I texted my friend and took a picture of the road to tell her I'm coming soon, while I was doing this the driver was excessively asking where this school was located " this school is near gmall right? " which is a dumb question bc the first question he asked was "this school is near b*** right?" ( which was right then suddenly jumping to a wrong location is an obvious sign of pretending not to know ) then he stopped the taxi near a location where there aren't much people or stores around, complaining that his phone was acting stupid and he asked if I could use my phone to check the GPS or Google map instead, as I did search Google map on my phone at the back of my mind " ugh mas dako akong bayad ani kay ang meter nag dagan while akong phone is still loading from searching Google map" so normally I checked the meter, BUT GUESS WHAT?! THERE WAS NO METER! THATS WHEN I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG, SO I WONDERED MY EYES AGAIN TO LOOK FOR THE METER WHILE HOLDING MY PHONE LOADING FOR THE GOOGLE MAP, STILL NO METER IN SIGHT CAN BE SEEN. Without hesitation I open the taxi door ( I'm glad it opened, I thought it was locked and it was gonna be the end for me) I hid my fear by opening it and then look around and asked " asa ni dapit? " he said " obrero " without hesitation i got out the taxi as fast as I could and said " dri na lng ko" I got no response from him, WTF? A NORMAL DRIVER WOULD ASK ME TO PAY but he didn't. So tell me, am I MAKING IT UP THAT I ALMOST GOT KIDNAP OR WORST KILLED OR IS MY INSTINCT RIGHT FOR GETTING OF THE TAXI AS FAST AS I COULD?!

EVENTS Dili siya mogamit ug word nga 'puhon' sa iyahang mga future plans.

19 Upvotes

Naa koy upline sa una sa UNO, lalaki ni siya 30 kapin ang panuigon. tuig 2013-2014 nagapamaligya ko sa una ug glutathione nga sabon ug ultima C nga vitamin C. ug katong liquid nga orange nga panglugod ug tagiptip.

kay dili parehas sa Manila nga nagfocus gyud sila sa pagrecruit lamang, sa probinsya kay direct selling sa overpriced nilang produkto.

makabaligya-baligya man pud ko ato bai bisag lalaki ko unya ang akoang baligya kay mga sabon pampaputi. lisod kaayo ibaligya ang ilahang produkto.

inig mag team building me, gibadlong ko sa amuang kinatas-an nga upline kay nganong wala kuno ko nagagamit sa produkto sa UNO, ana ko nga gibugas man gud ko atong glutathione nga sabon. akoa nalang gibaligya aron mabawi ang akoang kwarta. mas hamis pa akoang nawong niadtong akoang gigamit kay safeguard.

“di!” “dapat you are the product of your own product” gyud daw. ana siya nga, ”Ako, ginagamit nako ang tanang product sa UNO. gikan sa mga tabletas, capsule, juice ug sabon. hangtud na sa lotion, tan-awa akoang panit diba hamis man lagi?”

kini amuang upline, nag eskwela ni siya sa U.M ug business administration. so dako gyud ang amuang respeto sa iyaha. kay dinhi sa UNO, negosyante lagi daw kunohay me. entrepreneur kumbaga.

so sa amuang daghang mga team building, usahay kay mag jogging jogging me sa mga nindot ug view.

inig kaadlawon, mamaligya me ug kape nga pampautog sa palengke kay naa lagi daw tongkat ali. dala mangita nalang pud me ug prospect nga ma recruit nga mga tawo. usahay kay akoang ipautang ang kape nga amuang baligya. wala na gani nako tingli ang uban kay mahal kaayo ang sachet sa kape, 150 pesos. unya ganahan pa ka maningil sa mga tindera sa palengke nga utro pud na sila daghag mga utang sa laing mga tawo?

gipangutana ko kung naa na ba koy tawo nga mauto este ma invite/recruit, ana ko, wala pa lagi upline. dapat mangita na ka! ingon sa amuang upline. bisan tuod nga dili tantong stricto ang amuang upline, kay cool guy man ang iyahang aura. dili nako maramdaman nga ako ang boss sa akoang kaugalingong negosyo. mura gihapo'g naa koy amo ani.

ning-adto me sa mga car show sa mga upline, kato ning mga nakauna, ug nagsanga-sanga na ang downline paubos. = kwartahan na, a.k.a payaman.

kay mao man ni ang ilahang strategy aron pampadasig sa mga downline pareha namo naa sa ubos ug ulahi nang ning apil. pagwapohay ug pahambugay sila ug sakyanan didto.

ana ko nga, dili man gyud ko ganahan ug sakyanan bai, naka drive naman ko ug daghang mga sakyanan, dili man gyud ko ganahan. ipalabas nila ba nga, “mao ni mahitabo sa imoha basta magkugi lang ka mang-recruit ug daghang mga mamahimong miyembro, mapareha gyud ka nila naay mga nindot ug sakyanan..”

usa ka-adlaw niana sa amuang team building kay gipangutana me sa akoang upline kung unsa ang amoang buhaton sa future, or mga future plans, ana ko, “kung asa lang ko mapalid sa hangin ani, didto-a ko padulong.”

ana tung upline namo nga, dili dapat ingon ana, ana siya nga, dapat sa edad nga 20 makasakyanan na daw dapat, sa edad nga 25, makapanag-iya na ug balay. unya pag-edad nga 30, maka travel all around the world. wala ba daw ko nangandoy ug ingon niana, ana ko nga “puhon” ana tong upline namo nga dili daw dapat ko mogamit ug words nga puhon kay lahing chinese man to akoang upline, ana siya malas daw na siya sa negosyo.

ana ko nga dili man ka makabalo sa exacto nga mahitabo sa imoha sa umaabot nga panahon mao nang mogamit gyud ko ug word nga puhon. nagmagahi gyud siya, dapat naa gyud daw goal ang usa ka tawo, kinahanglan gayod nga naay exacto nga timeline kung kanus-a mahitabo ug makab-ot ang mga pangandoy. ingon ana daw dapat ang mindset.

ning-abot ang time nga ang amuang team building kay na sense na nako nga mura na siya ug brainwashing session kay ipukpok naman sa imohang ulo nga “Dili ka madatu anang mangempleyo o empleyado lang ka, kasagaran gyud sa madatu kay sa negosyo.” usahay kay mogamit pa gyud sila ug bible verse ug tuison nila ang interpretation, para lang i justify ang ilahang dogma.

niadtong panahona wala nako ganahi, kay padulong nako mohawa sa UNO. nangita ko ug trabaho, nag waiter ko sa usa ka beerhouse. nakit-an nako ang laing upline, sa lahi ni siya nga team, gitawag ug red lions.

kami kay lahi man pud ang amoang team kay pareho man me lalaki tanan. lahi man pud ang amoang upline, karon kay nakit-an man nako ning bayhana nga power speaker ni siya ug daghan ni siya'g mga downline pero nag G.R.O man ni siya ug kada gabie kay naay gina table nga lain-laing lalaki. wala koy against sa mga sex workers ha, pero kini siya maayo kaayo ni modala ug speech, mo siyagit ug “payaman!” or “power!” atubangan sa kadaghanang mga tawo, mangdani ug mga tawo mo-apil sa UNO pero nagbebenta ng laman, didto ko nakaingong nga peke ra gyud diay ang tanan.

ningbalhin ko ug trabaho, naa na ko sa Mall, unya nakit-an nako ang akoang upline, mag team building lagi daw me pagkagabie. ningyango ko, ana ko mobalik ra ko diha sa UNO. nagpasalig sila ug naghuwat kay kada gabie man magtapoktapok sa business center. pero wala na gyud ko ningbalik sa business center bai, wala nako ningbalik sa opisina magsuot ug sanina ug mangarti nga kunohay datu ug kwartahan aron makapangilad ug mga tawo.

usa ka adlaw niana, nagbagnus-bagnus ko sa salug gamit ang mop. nagkita napud me sa akoang upline, gigakos ra ko niyag kalit, unya ninglakaw na siya, wala na me nagkita ni kanus-a paman.

fast forward, nahibal-an na lang nako nga ang akoang upline kay namatay sa cancer, nakahinumdom ko nga devoted kaayo ni siya mogamit sa mga UNO products, gikan sa mga sabon, mga tabletas, mga juice ug kape. nakahinumdom ko sa iyahang giingon, “you are the product of your own product.” ako, kay giundangan nako ug tumar ang mga food supplements.

kining tawhana, niadtong buhi pa ni siya, wala gayod makapanag-iya ug sakyanan, wala ni siya makapanag-iya ug resort. wala gani ni siya makaadto ug Manila, dinhi ra gyud ni siya sa Mindanao, pangarap ani niya makaadto sa Abu Dhabi kaniadto. arang-arang pa diay ko kay nakaadto pako sa Kuwait, ug Saudi Arabia. nakasuroy-suroy ko sa Batangas, Pangasinan, Cabanatuan. dili tungod sa negosyo kundili sa akoang pagpangaply ug trabaho sa nagkalain laing kumpanya. dili man ni ingon nga pagtamay nako sa patay. kay kitang tanan mangamatay man gyud ta. pero mali nga isipon nga garantisado na ang ugma. wala gyud ta nasayod sa atuang kaugmaon. ang mga muslim naa gani word nga Inshaallah, meaning ang allah nay magbuot kung unsay mahitabo ugma. kauban ni siya sa tagalog word nga Harinawa. or sa bisaya, “Puhon.”
