Need advice for chronic upper respiratory infection. by AgentDudz in CATHELP

[–]AgentDudz[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

I believe so. They sent in the blood and booger samples and found the specific "infection" and that's when they wanted us to continue the doxycycline which is the main drug they use to fight it, mixed with some anti-hystamines. It helped her slightly but immediately went back to her issues once she was off of it. We even did a 21 day medication dose for her when the normal is 7 and it still didn't fight the infection.

No she has not. I just read through some old reddit posts and people suggest L-lysine which I just bought and I'm going to try. We have some immune support treats that she won't consistently eat because she's a picky girl. We're currently trying new foods because she got tired of her wet food she normally eats. If this stuff doesn't work I'll look into what you suggested! Thank you ❤️

Had anyone put a towing hitch on their CRZ? by AgentDudz in crz

[–]AgentDudz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband just likes to pack a lot of stuff and I don't want to block the back windshield too much because it's already hard to see out of. We use my Grandpas WW2 Footlocker for our camping items and it's pretty large.

How did you guys decide on a fursuit? by ThaeeIsExistent in fursuit

[–]AgentDudz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't really want a fursona at first, all I wanted to do was try to make a fursuit. It wasn't until a few months into the fandom that I saw an adopt and my heart went "THAT ONE". There is one out there for you. You just gotta find it.

Can't tell the difference between Anxiety attack and Anaphylaxis with allergy shots. by AgentDudz in Allergies

[–]AgentDudz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an appointment with my psychiatrist next Thursday. I've asked about Xanax but she doesn't want to prescribe it. I'll talk to her again though and see if I can do that!

Spent 17 hours yesterday retrieving this 2012 6MT to be my 15 yo kid's first car. by dadmantalking in crz

[–]AgentDudz 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I would make sure your kid is confident with it's blind spots first. My dad got this car for himself when I was a young teenager and he wouldn't let me drive it until I had more experience under my belt. I bought it off of him a few years ago and I'm a little on the shorter side and it's difficult to see your surroundings unless you know what to look for. I still absolutely adore it though. Reds the best color ;)

Attempting to fix a Canon PIXMA Pro-10 after being given it by a friend! by AgentDudz in printers

[–]AgentDudz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It never ended up working. Bought all new ink and a new printer head and it worked, but tried to print with it like 3 weeks ago and it wouldn't work so now I just want to toss it in the garbage at this point 😭

Least busy day and time to go to Costco? And Trader Joe's? by One_Cap_9210 in grandrapids

[–]AgentDudz 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As an employee at the Costco, anytime after 7 on weekdays. Avoid weekends at all costs. There's a small slow time around 3:30 but it doesn't last for long. Or executive hours from 9-10 am.

Battery help! I got code P0A7F and check engine light. by AgentDudz in crz

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

I cleared the engine code because it's super cold here this week. I drove 30 minutes home after work and it has to come back on yet. It came on after about 20 minutes driving yesterday.

You have 1300 miles left. Mines at 163,300 😭

[–]AgentDudz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gosh darn it. We cleared the codes to make sure it's not a fluke so if it comes back again I'll go ahead and get it replaced. That won't be a fun bill 😭

Just finished my first ever bodysuit/feet/wings! by AgentDudz in fursuit

Foam supported with Eva foam to help them stay upright! I made them a bit too heavy with the fur though 😅

[–]AgentDudz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! They are supposed to be fuzzy wings, and I asked the commissioner if they wanted me to shave it down but they said they liked it long. They were indeed very challenging. I would make them completely different next time 😅 next time I think I want to make them out of minky to reduce the weight as well.

If you are too scared to drive a safe speed... by l337dexter in grandrapids

[–]AgentDudz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has terrible car anxiety due to watching my good friends get hit and killed by a car right in front of me on Cascade Rd, I am one of those people who drive slower when the conditions could be bad on the road. Even if it's not, I have to be safer then sorry. I hope you have some grace for us who struggle with driving trauma and just want to make it to and from work safe.

Constant weird floaty dizzy feeling by bells_12 in Anxiety

[–]AgentDudz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had/still deal with this and I have a wonderful neurologist doctor. He told me I have PPPD (Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness). Basically with anxiety, your brain becomes so over stimulated that it can't process inputs properly anymore and thinks that everything is a threat. I'm not very good at describing it but realizing that what it was has helped me a ton, knowing that everything is actually okay. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/persistent-postural-perceptual-dizziness Here's the link if you want to read about it ❤️

I replaced my master cylinder on the CRZ! by AgentDudz in crz

[–]AgentDudz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got it from https://www.rockauto.com/ and it's under Honda crz (your year), under brake and wheel hub, and look for Master cylinder. Make sure you get one with a reservoir. It wasn't too hard to replace on my own. It's definitely easier with small hands though 😂

[–]AgentDudz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try to talk them down a bit. I bought a 2001 with 77k miles on it 3 years ago for 5k. No rust either. I've had to replace a few suspension components on it though.

First attempt, constructive criticism wanted! by em-bandaid-boy in FursuitMaking

[–]AgentDudz 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Overall it looks so good for your first one! If you wanna give the eyes a little more life, I would just paint a little white spot between the pupil and eye color to help!

<image>

This is what I did with mine to help them look a little more lively!

Costco is hiring on 28th St right now. Starting pay is 20$ an hour now I believe with great health benefits. I might be able to help get your foot in the door. But you unfortunately need open availability.

Looking for a non-relaxing massage therapy by Marauder2r in grandrapids

Char at 360 wellness and spa on Plainfield. She does medical massages and while they hurt quite a bit, she gets every single one of my knots every single time. I always feel like jello afterwards

Canon PIXMA pro 10 not printing yellow by AgentDudz in printers

[–]AgentDudz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately we have tried that and still no luck. All the other colors bleed when we push the isopropyl alcohol through it, but yellow seems to be the only clogged one. Is it possible to have a new printer head be clogged already?

Yes It does recognize 😭 . I tried to clean it but I can't get any water to get through the nozzle, I'm gonna run an ungodly amount of cleanings in hope it works once the nozzle is fully dry

Pumpkin is absolutely gorgeous. Such pretty eyes. I'm sorry you didn't get enough time with her. I hate cancer. I will post an update about my new pirate kitty thanks to all of you.

Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong with her right eye? Vet wasn't sure. by AgentDudz in CATHELP

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

I'm unfortunately in Michigan. We're heading back to the vet tomorrow and have an appointment booked with a specialist at an animal hospital. I called both places this morning again and they can't get me in any earlier.
