Family plan mayhem

Hi !!

How are you all ?

I hope this is the right subreddit to post

So basically this is my situation:

My family (dad, dad's wife, my mom ) have been using a family plan for Google One that I have been paying for them. I also have my work account and my personal account in there. They can't afford a plan on their own and they really needed to have Google One Sadly.

The thing is that not so long ago I moved from my third world country to Europe to try and start a better life but ever since then my YouTube premium subscription has been terminated by Google since my personal account doesn't appear located in Home country anymore.

I have been trying everything to make it work (keep the family plan and have YouTube premium in my personal account) but I have failed. I can't afford to pay for two plans either. I can barely afford this one and my family can't pay it either....

I also have Autism and the intrusive youTube ads are a nuisance that overstimulate me a ton so that is why I need to find a solution. In my personal laptop I have an ad Blocker but I haven't been able to install one of those in my phone which is what I use at work and in other places.

Do you have any idea how can I fix this ?

Stumped over my cat's health

Hi !

Normally I would never take this onto the internet but I genuinely don't know what to do ...

I have a female cat, she is 8 years old (turning 9 this year), Black, common European house cat. Her name is Ash.

A couple of months ago she started throwing up maybe once a week. I took her to the vet and they gave me some pills to give to her saying she had a tummy ache. But whenever I would give her the pills she would throw them up (she could eat her normal food but the pills she didn't tolerate). Then they told me to try with a liquid medication but not only was it extremely difficult to give it to her but she would throw it up even faster than the pills. So the meds were not working at all ....

At the time I wasn't sure what to do because of 3 things:

  1. she has a stress induced respiratory problem which always triggers at the vet due to abuse she suffered from other vets when she was a kitten. So constantly taking her to the vet wasn't an option because she was suffering lots of respiratory issues every time she went. Sedating her is also not an option because she could stop breathing.

  2. At the time my Dog was also going through some severe health issues and almost passed away and was hospitalized so honestly I was more preoccupied with her care since it was urgent. I didn't have that much money either, I am still in debt over the care of my dog

  3. Ash is also a picky eater so giving her chicken or something to put her on a diet didn't work either ....

Because of all of this and also the fact that she was still playing and eating I kind of didn't pursue anything else at the time. I was overwhelmed, in debt and wasn't sure if it was something urgent. So I tried my best to care for her and observe her.

Weeks passed and she would still throw up once a week or so but still with energy etc ... I ended up having to more or less escape my native country because of an economic and political crisis (I had already lost my job, was in debt and was not able to find a new job after months of searching and the entire country was on fire basically). So I moved to Europe to try and start a new life here. So with all of that I never took her to the vet again.

In the present day I finally got a job and I am more stable here in Europe and my pets have been adjusting very well to their new life. The one "solution" I found was to buy Ash a new food made by pro plan for delicate digestion. It is made from chicken and it has probiotics. This food seems to help since now she is not throwing up as commonly. But she still throws up sometimes once or twice at much. She is still eating, playing and living a normal life. But I was wondering what I should do about the throwing up ?? Specially considering everything I previously said. What would you recommend ?

And I just want to clarify that I know I behaved poorly in the past vis a vis this issue. I honestly was so scare for my dog who almost passed away, so busy caring for her, so scared for our futures with my lack of a job and the debts etc... That I got completely overwhelmed and was unable to act differently which is not an excuse, I want to give Ash a better care, so what would you suggest I do to help her ??

Thank you all very much for your help
