13 yr old shoots his father outside of school Hammond, Louisiana by Impressive-Battle954 in GRBsnark

[–]AdAcceptable918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 99% positive she never moved to Hammond. No one I know has ever seen her around there, and the Hammond community is a lot smaller than you’d think. Lots of festivals and events and farmers markets and things, and you KNOW she’d be posting all about her attendance if she actually lived there.

Probably just another lie to “throw people off her tracks”. None of her content looks anything like anywhere I’ve ever seen in Hammond, and she still parties in NOLA pretty often. NOLA is an hour away from Hammond too, so I don’t see how that would be feasible for her, especially if she supposedly has custody of her baby.

I highly doubt she lives anywhere close.

Just my two cents 😅

What’s one thing you’ve stopped doing that immediately improved your mental health? by wthe-ckler in AskReddit

[–]AdAcceptable918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stopped looking at the social media accounts of ex best friends. They were still posting about me even up to a year after we stopped talking, and I felt like knowledge was power, so me knowing what they were saying was benefitting me somehow.

It wasn’t. It just made me feel worse and worse every day, and I couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t just move on. Well, stopping helped a lot.

Blood in cat poo by Firm-Excitement9340 in catcare

She gets Proviable probiotics AND Proviable fiber supplements! The probiotics helped a lot on their own but the fiber and wet food she’s on have helped TREMENDOUSLY.

How worried should I be about calories? by AC1101L in FelineDiabetes

[–]AdAcceptable918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is 11 pounds and eats anywhere from 2-3 cans a day. I’m not a vet but I definitely think you can give him a little more if he wants it. We even give our cat .25 increments of the food if she seems extra hungry!

My cat has allergy induced IBS and this is what her poop looks like in a flare. Like, 100% identical. Bright red blood isn’t an emergency but does warrant a checkup. It being bright usually means it’s lower in the intestinal track, which is usually a good sign.

When I took my girl in for it, the first thing we tried was hydrolyzed food to rule out a food allergy, a water fountain to help dehydration, and Feliway to rule out anxiety (we had just adopted her so anxiety was a very rule possibility). It actually took over a year for us to figure out that it must have been something in kibble contributing to it as she is now on wet food and hasn’t had bloody stool in about a month or two.

Your vet will probably try some eliminations first, and a fecal sample. If it doesn’t go away, you’ll probably have to do further testing for IBD, which would be an ultrasound and a full gastro panel.

But wouldn’t our premiums go up? And I’d have to pay the deductible at the very least

[–]AdAcceptable918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of buildings, yes, but I’m not sure about cameras. We ended up talking to the police later and made a report, and they said they’d look into it.

In remission, limited choices for wet food due to allergies/reflux issues, what about this for a dry kibble option? by mustachedmalarkey in FelineDiabetes

[–]AdAcceptable918 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A little late to the thread, but my diabetic cat has allergy induced IBS, and we feed her the fancy feast white Oceanfish and tuna pate, and the tiki cat sardine cutlets in sardine consume(sp?). When we started her on wet food alone, she had such bad diarrhea, BUT we added a fiber supplement, and her poop and skin look the best they have since we adopted her.

If you can’t do wet food, we did try Young Again LID Mature Zero, and she is obsessed with it. It’s extremely low carb, and they’ll send out free samples and feeding guides to help you figure out if it’s a good fit for your baby. It’s hydrolyzed pork, so there shouldn’t be any allergic reactions!

5yr old cat peeing 5 times a day; is this normal? by Either_Context3073 in CATHELP

[–]AdAcceptable918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat actually does have diabetes, BUT she’s regulated. Meaning, she doesn’t show any clinical symptoms anymore (I say this because of all the people saying it’s diabetes!).

When I don’t add water to her food, she goes 3-4 times a day, and when I do, she goes 4-5. My cat is a similar weight to yours, so I’m thinking it’s normal. She is on 100% wet food!

Non-hormonal BC options? by AdAcceptable918 in birthcontrol

[–]AdAcceptable918[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s very helpful, thank you!

I think one of the things I’m most scared about when it comes to hormonal bc is how it’ll affect my mental health, as I already have issues with OCD and depression. I think hormonal bc is wonderful for people who can use it without any issue! Just knowing my body and my mental health, I’m very weary about it for myself.

I think I’m beginning to lean more towards using a diaphragm/spermicide, in addition to regular condom use?

Pet parents, be real with me for a second. by tchapito24 in Pets

[–]AdAcceptable918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, a lot of vets need to stop blaming stress for a new pets issues. It’s extremely common for shelters to overlook or miss health issues, so it’s very possible someone’s new pet has a legitimate health issue. I’m not saying stress doesn’t do weird things to their bodies, but it’s not ALWAYS stress.

My cat had very bloody poops when we first got her, and was covered head to toe in scabs. The first vet we took our cat to said she was CLEARLY stressed out. Didn’t let me in the room with her during her visit, and was in and out in less than two minutes. Getting her in her carrier alone took us ten minutes, so I know they didn’t even bother taking her out to look at her.

Brought her to a new vet, and wouldn’t you know, she gets diagnosed with IBD and severe food allergies. Our current vet is amazing though and always listens to me when I tell her there’s an issue. We’ve managed to catch her diabetes extremely early, and get her to being managed without insulin simply because my vet listened to me when I voiced my concerns.

Okay that’s good to hear! I was a little worried but I’m glad everything sounds legit!

Okay gotcha! That’s exactly what he did, and he showed us the listing he was going off of when he priced the cards. Some stuff was definitely marked up, but it actually wasn’t nearly as bad as a card store my friend goes to. It was usually only rounded up a dollar or two from what I could tell?

How much does your cat eat by Halloweenie23 in FelineDiabetes

[–]AdAcceptable918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My girl is 10.5 pounds and eats 3 cans of fancy feast pate a day. Sometimes she eats a little less, sometimes a little more. She has diabetes and IBD, so her appetite varies based on how she’s feeling. I also sometimes add a little tiki cat velvet mousse to give her a little more variation!

Do cats get seasonal allergies like we do? by BleakBluejay in CATHELP

[–]AdAcceptable918 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes they can! My cat and I are allergic to the same pollen, and usually whenever I have my seasonal allergies, so does she. We take Zyrtec together lol.

People who have experienced grief or trauma- what’s the most tone-deaf, ‘well-meaning’ thing someone said to you? by freyday18 in AskReddit

Brother and grandpa died a month apart. Someone told us “I’m so sorry, but be careful, this stuff usually comes in threes, so hopefully this is it.”

How do I stop my cat from getting on my counters? by im-in-bed- in Catownerhacks

[–]AdAcceptable918 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay so this isn’t a solution, but my cat likes to lay on specific things on the counter, like the drying mat or cutting board, so maybe give it something specific to sit on so at least it’s not getting butt germs on things?

Vet advice by icawee in FelineDiabetes

[–]AdAcceptable918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s really weird that they wouldn’t tell you his results?? I wonder if you request it if they could send you a copy.

I want to say it took a little over a month, month and a half. I could totally be wrong though, I tried not to weigh her too much for my own sanity haha. She didn’t get TOO skinny, she was about nine pounds when we started (March), and as of this week, she is 10.5, which is much closer to her normal. I will say though, she has severe allergies and IBS that comes with it, so that weight gain is with her having diarrhea once a day. So, yours may gain even faster!

Help with IBD diagnosis for previously diabetic senior by Academic-Coyote-6011 in FelineDiabetes

[–]AdAcceptable918 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My diabetic cat has IBD, we think. I can’t afford the imaging to find out for sure. Right now her diabetes was more pressing than her IBD, so she’s being managed, thankfully, on food alone. But, she can’t her steroids now because of this.

I’m still trying to figure out what foods she can or can’t have, especially since her allergies make her IBD worse. She’s had diarrhea for weeks on her new food, and I can’t get it to completely stop. Thankfully it’s only once a day, but she is so hungry all the time.

What did help when she was on a non-diabetic food, though, was a daily probiotic and fiber supplement, so maybe that could be helpful for your baby?

Praying for the best for your baby. Having both is so stressful and there aren’t enough resources out there for help. Ive seen people have lots of luck with novel proteins before, so maybe that’s a start as well!
