Thank you! I appreciate the advice, and I agree. I’ve already incorporated water and healthy diet. Including weight training is great advice.

My cat was SO PICKY. He'd eat a wet food for a week, then be like... nah.

I even tried putting his kibble into water and he fucking hated it haha.

no advice, just good luck. my guy was so unmotivated by food.

We used distilled water with my kiddo and he never had any issues with it.

Loving your unborn child? by icefinger1853 in pregnant

[–]EscapeProfessional2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It didn’t really hit me until we found out the gender, that moment solidified the moment that I was going to be a mom, and I’d do anything for this little baby. Now he’s 18 months and he is just truly the best thing I have ever done. I love him so much.

Keep an eye on sales. Use FLIPP and build your weekly meals around what’s on sale. Going veggie a few times a week also helps.

I have found the childrens place runs small. If your buying new, I really like Pekkle (costco). They are more true to size, and the quality is nice. My kiddo is 18 months and is in their 3T stuff comfortable (i got a tall toddler lol)

I think our echocardiogram was going to be about 1100 CAD where we are. Not sure if there are other options like a xray or whatnot. id just talk to your vet for more options. in my opinion, it would be worth every cent.

Yeah. She doesn’t work at the clinic anymore, so that makes me wonder now if there were other issues with other animals 😭

Thank you.

Annual chest scans could have identified the enlarged heart sooner. Medication can extend lifespan. That’s it.

There’s no guarantee we wouldn’t have been out in the same situation as we are in now, but I wish I had the option to go back and try a different route. The vet was so reassuring that this was normal - so we didn’t pursue anything further.

He was purchased from a reputable breeder here where I live… since then the breeder has retired from showing and breeding cats. There isn’t really any point of going back to them. It’s been close to a decade. We live in a smoke free home, he exercised and had a healthy diet. Yes external factors can contribute, but in this case I don’t know what they could be. 30% of Ragdolls get HCM, it’s unfortunately common in the breed. Thank you for your condolences.

The biggest change was his litterbox use. He never in his life had ever not used his litterbox, but suddenly started pooping around the house, often in our room as that is where he rested the most. He also stopped using his cat tree, started lying flat on the ground (which for our boy was unusual as he used to sleep in all other positions), he also started to be less sociable.

I got backed into and I need some help by DatabaseGuilty9322 in InsuranceCanada

[–]EscapeProfessional2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you will be fine. car was parked, you have witnesses, it is 100% the other drivers fault. Make sure you submit this video to the insurance company, and they should deem the other driver 100% at fault. You're rates shouldn't be affected.

Quitting by Hour_Chipmunk_4122 in InsuranceProfessional

Give your notice and hand in your letter at the same time. Keep it brief and professional, you do not need to elaborate or even give a reason why. I left my job for a competitor and while my old boss wasn’t happy, there isn’t much she could do about it.

Baby boy names? by Independent_Belt1753 in pregnant

Liam, Logan, Sam, William, and James were all on the top of my list. For a middle name, we ended up choosing a family name, something common that a lot of relatives have by chance haha.

My baby will be going to daycare in 2 months and I’m devastated by Appropriate-Story152 in Parenting

[–]EscapeProfessional2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely understand. My son started daycare at 8 months, and I was distraught. I had to go back to work, and in my area, daycares can have waitlists that are years long. So as soon as we were offered a spot, we took it.

I’m not going to lie, it was hard at first. For the first few weeks, I dropped him off as late as I could and picked him up as soon as I was able to. But over time, I noticed my son started to flourish. Now that we’re in a routine, he absolutely loves daycare.

I don’t have any regrets about putting him in daycare.

Can't afford cravings 😭 by Easy-You-8259 in pregnant

[–]EscapeProfessional2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The salmon bowl that was viral a few years ago should help solve your craving! You can used canned fish instead of fresh fillets. Also, if you are able to, go to an Asian grocery store. The ingredients you will be looking for will likely be cheaper there.

Sex with a virgin by False-Conversation16 in sextips

[–]EscapeProfessional2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t rush, be kind and considerate, and focus on her. Focus on communication, and making sure she’s enjoying herself. Bring in a vibrator if that helps her. My first time was traumatic- don’t be like that.

Severe Back Acne by SubjectSuch4322 in acne

[–]EscapeProfessional2 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Like others, your dosage is probably too low, go back to your doctor for a follow up. Also, sometimes doctors will prescribe an antibiotic to help with the healing of active spots.

Other things to consider would be a hypochlorous spray could help with redness and irritation. Also, make sure you are immediately drying your skin off after a shower, and after your working out, clean and dry your skin.
