Don, the doctor called the injection Bevacizumab, that I believe is Avastin so maybe you can check. My MAD had stabilised from the last injection so he gave me the option of having two more injections four months apart, or not having one last night and checking with him in three months. The second option was easy to accept.

The bell is the best thing to do if it is loud enough but the cats here lie in wait for the birds and squirrels so even if they had a bell the birds would not hear them until too late.

What has the skin got to do with it. Razors remove hair, not skin.

The BIC replaceable blade razor does the job for me, at about 1/3 the overprice of Gillette.

While sympathising with the OP on his loss, and we have a similar dog problem, we also have a problem with the neighbours cats roaming free. We feed the small native birds and squirrels and encourage the native lizards (not jing jok or tookay) that eat the insects in the fruit trees. We are daily chasing the cats lying in wait for the birds, squirrels and lizards, so they are a bigger problem than the dogs and their sh#t. So I hope the OP keeps his cat(s) secured in his own yard so they do not eat the local wildlife creatures in the neighbourhood.

Don, at the moment I cannot help you as to what the injection is. I will ask the wife if she can tell from the invoices but if not I am booked for another one next Monday and will ask the doctor.

I have been treated by Dr Kanin who runs a sort of private after hours clinic at the hospital after 5.00pm, along with other doctors. They are usually very busy so you usually have to wait a couple of hours to see him. The contact number is 085 555 2500 to go through the general registration to make an appointment. There is information on their web site but can be a bit tricky finding what you want in English.

You need to search around for prices. I pay about 5000 baht per injection at Narsuan University hospital in Phitsanulok or in the public hospital in Phetchabun. That equates to a similar price in Australia after the Medicare rebate. The injections might sound scary but they are very simple with minor irritation afterwards.

I have WET AMD so I am glad you did not say it was related to alcohol consumption, only smoking.

That is a high retaining wall so would probably need to be buttressed. A couple of years ago I had a 28m x 0.2m wide x 0.9m high wall done for around 130,000 baht but you are not going to be anywhere near that.

@Sheryl is correct. It is not an operation and recovery to have unless absolutely necessary (speaking from experience).

Maybe at your hospital but as I said above it is possible in our local.

Interesting that you should say that. I was having blood & urine test done every year at Khao Kho hospital outpatients. It was about 1300 baht but maybe they accepted me as my wife was done at the same time. I now go to a small private hospital in Lomsak as spending all day waiting around at KK was not my idea of fun.

Casinos are good for some people and bad for others. There is so much "illegal" betting going on in Thailand with the profits going to the wrong people. They should just legalise gambling with a 20% turnover tax, no deductions for expenses. Harsh penalties for the miscreants. Major Entertainment complexes are not the answer for the people that like to have a little (or big) flutter.

Could never happen, especially in America.
