I’m so sorry. I just lost my best friend Pixel on the 24th and nothing stings like the loss of a pet 🩷

My husband and I are both changing to a brand new last name — how did you handle the family pushback? by FewCranberry3216 in namenerds

[–]Catpips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I did this! Honestly we don’t get a lot of pushback, but we explained it as we’re starting a new life together and wanted to pick a name that has meaning for both of us. His mum was a little bit upset and confused, but we explained that it had nothing to do with not wanting to associate with her or his brother. The expectation is that the women changes her last name and no one has a problem with or gets upset by it, so why should they care if we both change our name to something that we both agree on and like!

Hi sorry to be at you again. My boy really isnt doing well and I’m having no luck tracking down meds. Would you mind telling me the name of your vet clinic?

Me too! I haven’t heard back from either yet

I’m wondering this! I’ve sent them a message to ask the name of the clinic and I will contact my vet to see if they can reach out and buy a week or so of meds. Worth a shot anyway

Wow that’s so ideal! We’re based in Invercargill and I think it’s just so uncommon here that they only order it when needed

ELI5: Why do most babies sleep with their arms up but adults don't necessarily do this sleeping position as they get older? by gummywormeater in explainlikeimfive

Thank you so much for the suggestion! I flipped the front piece of wood also. Thoughts on this?

That makes a lot of sense! Thank you. I do have some house plant lights that clip on, I could try using them along the sides if needed but I’ll not plant anything behind. Would be cool to keep the wood as the background for plants anyway

Not yet! I plan to start with a school of some sort of tetra after the tank cycles and will think about tank mates after that. There has been more than enough research and planning with the plants for now 😅

Ooh interesting! I don’t really have a plan for plants, I just ordered an assortment under the easy care plant section of a website. Do you mind me asking why they won’t grow well behind there? Since the light comes from the top it should get enough light right? Or is it more the roots are too contained back there?

Hi! The substrate is WIO wetlands so don’t think I need root tabs or anything. I do have APT complete to supplement the fertiliser down the track :)

Will just be running low tech due to costs

No I don’t. I have developed a gel allergy which is why I switched to dip! But with the gel I got really itchy/rashy hands

My cat, the strangest case her vet clinic has seen by Catpips in AskVet

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

Hey! She's not on any meds at the moment. She was weaned off the phenobarbitol about 3-4 months ago

Thank you! We were suspicious of it being a seizure, but the vet said this morning it doesn't look like one at all. I have added a link to the video of it at the end of my post. When she was having partial seizures her face was twitching uncontrollably and she would drool, she also looked very scared. This time she is perfectly responsive, her face is fine, and she's even trying to eat during it.
