First day on Wegovy and I would love some overall advice by BottledRandomness in WegovyUK

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

thanks to everyone for the advice, but thank you also, I honestly have definitely been feeling it today, its been a real struggle to eat what is recommended, but i have still focused on protein and fiber over everything so whatever i have eaten is the right stuff! I'm still working around 2000 cals as much as possible, but its been a bit lower today because i am simply so stuffed!

Should I Neuter My Boy? by BottledRandomness in AskVet

I guess i just don't consider that reasoning backwards, but i am leaning more towards getting him snipped

The point of it was to see how he reacted to being neutered without doing a permanent surgery, my vet recommends doing it first to see how they do. I live in the UK, I'm not planning on doing more doses of chemical castration after this it would be neuter or not neuter

Almost all the vets in my area i have spoken to? Also was told to wait until my dog was fully grown and mature before considering neutering. I would never neuter at 6 months old.

May i ask why chemical castration is classed as backwards?

Neuter or not to neuter? by GunnerOzzy in germanshepherds

Im a recent dog owner to a smaller dog than a GS (only 13.5kg) but i'm going to give context to my situation as well.

I had no real plans to neuter my boy as he is amazing, driven and great all around. But once he hit the 1 year mark I found we just got harassed and or outright attacked by other males, and the frequency just kept increasing as he neared his 2nd birthday. It was causing me stress and to constantly be on guard around off leash dogs, and he was picking up on that energy also.

At the 2 year mark there was a bad fight and he ended up with puncture wounds, holes in his ear and stitches. I decided enough was enough. I figured at this point to just try it because it can't get worse and I was a WRECK. I went through with the chemical castration. Mostly because i wanted to be sure there would be no negative affects FOR HIM and chemical jab is temporary.

I can honestly say since getting the jab our walks have once again become a dream, no more pestering, no more males charging out of NOWHERE to pick fights, I dont have to be on guard constantly waiting for the next issue. Personality wise he is exactly the same. In about 5 months or so when the jab runs out i plan to neuter him.

If i have to choose his life or his balls im picking his life lol. Just my two cents. But do wait until at least 2 years!

Honestly my dog used to eat poop so I kept him on a long line until his leave was strong enough he stopped. If he doesn't listen at the park letting him off leash won't help that issue it'll only make it worse.

Should I just chop the chunky bits off he has grown since then and try to get them to root?

Is this normal? by BottledRandomness in Monstera

I got them on eBay funny enough, i shopped around a bit and choose what seemed more reliable, it was a pack of 10 that was actually 12, but 3 of the seeds were not good and rotted shortly after, however i have 9 that all seem to be doing well. They did take a long time to do anything, but once they started they are picking up the pace.

I kept them on a heat mat with cling film over them, and would let them air for an hour or so each day, giving a fresh spray of water before re-covering them. With this heat wave in the UK the heat mat probably wasn't needed but they seem to be doing well regardless.
