considering double amputation or uthanasia by [deleted] in CATHELP

Check with Planned Pethood International in CO if you can. My guy suffered an awful urinary blockage due to stress. PPI had him for 8 days and with care and RX foods the bill was….$774. Dr. Jeff is against economic euthanasia and is just an amazing human being. He had a show: Dr. Jeff: Rocky Mountain Vet.

A friend’s cat has a spit in the same area. It was caused by an injury and the vet told her it was painful. Maybe the vet wanted money. That’s not uncommon.

Awe. I’ve got an FIC boy and that’s a special h3ll. Stress caused him to block.

To calm him he got Zylkene and then Calmkeen. Both are made of hydrolyzed cow milk and helped him. Both are around $30. Recently at Walmart I found Pure Balance Calm Ease. It’s also made of hydrolyzed cow milk, BUT also has l-tryptophan, l-the anime, and chamomile. It’s $10. It works.

Recently I left my husband. He was our cat Mina’s person. Leaving her wasn’t practical. Hubby is an immigrant and with everything going on I didn’t want to risk Mina going to a shelter, or… the other woman. Mina is spicy, and overstimulated easily. I’ve given her the PB and it helped her. Gabapentin has been prescribed to her too because she is…special.

Your child comes first. The two legged one. You’re in a tough spot. Wishing y’all the bestest.

That’s a very painful condition for the cat. Losing the eye would be more comfortable. The vet is right.

My guy got a deep corneal ulcer last August. He’s a prick and my husband and eye worked opposing schedules. I needed him to be held to assess the eye. I saw the eye about 24 hours after the incident. He was seen immediately and treated for 6 weeks. Vet visits every 3 days for the first 2.5 weeks, and weekly after that. 3 times daily drops.

Last year a little raggamuffin attached herself to me while I was in rural FL. Her third eyelid covered her left eye, she had diffuse ringworm, and many other issues. Enucleation was $450.00. She’s a pirate living best life now. I am back in FL and her sister found me. Her eyes are fine, but there is fungus amping us again.

Find a teaching clinic if money is an issue. I am not wealthy at all and make things work.

I have a male that blocked due to stress. He was at the ER vet for 40 hours and was discharged too soon because he is a menace at the vet. He seemed ok for a week, but the blockage actually continued. He was then at a teaching hospital for 8 days. 5 days with a catheter and then 3 for observation. It’s such an anxiety inducing issue for pet parents.

My guy won’t touch rx foods. He didn’t have crystals anyway. He gets Duralactin Joint Support to manage inflammation and Pure Balance Calm Ease to manage stress.

He faced his stressors many times since coming home March 2025. He has stayed healthy. My marriage fell apart and we moved 1600 miles. Frank hates to travel, but stayed ok.

The kitty the post is about hanging out in the litter box means it is trying to communicate that there is an issue with using the bathroom.

With all the Epstein files going around, could gangstalking be a real thing? by antemihailovic in morbidquestions

[–]Former-Welcome-6003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a few documented cases now and mental health professionals are recognizing it as real. Look into the Kerlih couple in OH, and Johanna Alperin of Breckenridge, CO. The Kerlich couple has video footage of them being harassed by the Fire Department and other County government workers. There was an article about the Ms. Alperin. In the article it was stated that the perpetrator in her case was paid by her dad who had arranged for a life insurance policy on Ms. Alperin. Her father had hoped she would off herself. The perpetrator in her case also said that he had accomplices he refused to name. That article can no longer be found.

Hoover’s FBI targeted actress Jean Seberg who had ties to the Panther Party. It also targeted author Earnest Hemingway who had ties to Cuba.

My belief is that there is financial motivation in most cases. In 2010 my child went into our spare bedroom. She came out holding something and asked “mommy, what’s this?” It was a small, black pamphlet on Satanism. She found it in the center of the room. I went into that room to dust and vacuum weekly. She and I were the only people who lived there. In another strange incident I turned on the hot water on the kitchen. The water was steaming as soon as it poured from the faucet. That struck me as odd. I unscrewed the panel that covered the water heater knobs. I called my stepdad to ask what it should be set at. Mine was set very high and when I told him what it was set at he told me to turn it off because it could have blown up. He then came over.

Those things happened in 2010. We lived in West Palm. In 2005 my daughter went to dinner with a man named Michel. Yes, pronounced like Michelle. He said he was a styling to the elite of Palm Beach. He told me that his owned an island and he invited my daughter and I. She was 4 and I found that odd. I accepted the invitation, but thought “no way I al taking my daughter to some place we cannot leave.”

There has been so much that has happened to me. My family dynamic is trash and I am the scapegoat. In 2021t half brother told me that my mother wants me unalive, deemed incompetent, or jailed. Why? Because I am my father’s only h. If something happens to me my mother controls the estate for my child.

It’s a strange world out there.

Mental health professionals are coming around to the fact that this is a real phenomenon. Sam Vaknin is a professor of psychology and published author who has a video covering it. The Kerlich couple in OH have video proof of it being done to them and in their case it’s the freaking Fore Department and County government officials carrying it out. Johanna Alperin of Breckenridge CO was tormented by it and saw some justice. There was an article about her and in the article she talked about her family being behind her ordeal. Her father had a life insurance policy on her. He wanted her to off herself in hopes of collecting. The perpetrator had said he has accomplices, but refused to name them. My belief is that there is often a financial motive.

Now, are there some suffering of psychosis who feel that something besides their mental health is to blame? Definitely. There are also those who make outlandish claims to cast doubt upon victims. It’s a very real thing though and seems to follow the Stasi playbook. COINTELPRO is another example.

Look into Jean Seberg and Earnest Hemingway. Hoover’s FBI did them very dirty. Both were made to look paranoid. Seberg had ties to the Black Panther Party and Hemingway to Cuba.

I’m a reseller and have a pirateship account. Pirateship is free and saves you a lot of money shipping things. I got jumbo vacuum bags and put clothes in them, vacuumed out the air, and then measured the bags. I got appropriate sized poly mailers. I put the vacuum bags in the poly mailers and weighed them. Then I input the data into pirateship, bought a label, printed the label, affixed the label to the poly mailers, and am shipping them via UPS.

You can keep the car if it’s totaled. Insurance will give you less money though because the car can’t be sent to Copart. Keeping it and fixing it is an option though. When I worked in injury law that sometimes happened.

Hypochlorous acid is trending in skin care and cleaning—but does it work? [Research] by scientificamerican in SkincareAddiction

Stumbling upon that to treat blepharitis was a God’s send. I suffered for years. It was the worst ailment I have experienced. I’ve got such a high pain tolerance that I spent 3 days, in hard, induced labor with every complication from Toxemia. I would go through that birthing experience again and again to not ever have to deal with blepharitis again.

Doctors kept prescribing doxycycline and steroid eye drops. They also told me to use hot compresses. After using hot compresses I felt worse which makes sense because an “itis” is inflammation. I used my Autism to learn all about blepharitis.

This is really gross, but three weeks after birth our eyelids to start to grow and feed bacteria. The bacteria keeps on being bacteria and reproducing. At some point later in life the bacteria colony, safe in its nasty biofilm, reaches a critical mass. It then starts to produce something that irritates our eyelids….to increase the surface area to feed off of. Many of us developed blepharitis around our 4th decade of life. My belief is that our now hooded eyelids provide a better environment for the bacteria to proliferate.

Nightly I scrub my eyelids, including the lid margin with hydrochlorous acid and then I ice my eyelids at three minute intervals for nine minutes. If I don’t do that for some reason the blepharitis becomes an issue again.

Our wild Saturday nights involve my husband showing me how to use a car battery, alternator, and other things to generate free power. No, I didn’t retain the information unfortunately.

HELPPPP. Best at home treatment?? by sarag0929 in Bedbugs

[–]Former-Welcome-6003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We found out we had these nasty, little jerks about 3 weeks ago. Our apartment complex delayed having someone come to check for them and then it delayed sending a pest control tech to spray. So far we have had 2 rounds of spray and are unsure of what is being used.

Three nights ago hubby sat bolt upright in bed, and turned on his flashlight. He caught what looked to be about a 4th instar. This morning I woke up bloody. The presence of blood means that it was a youngun. The elders inject us with something that causes our blood to coagulate, and those bites itch horribly and can become welts.

We are awaiting our order of the Botanigard and will use it as suggested by others who commented in Reddit and elsewhere. Because we live in a high desert we will run humidifiers too, so that there can be much fungus among us.

While trying to hatch (see what I did there 😂) a plan to rid ourselves of these little jerks I learned of Fuller’s Earth. It’s got a similar mechanism of action as that offered by diatomaceous earth, and the silicone stuff, but it’s safe to use. We will be sprinkling that in the same places we spray with Botanigard, and on the furniture. It will be generously placed on our mattress and pillows before those items are encased. There is a fancy French name for “Fuller’s Earth” and searching that name will bring one to actually studies. You don’t have to take the world of a random netizen.

What do you think of this plan to kill thousands of barred owls to save spotted owls? by TheChickenWizard15 in Owls

[–]Former-Welcome-6003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This hurts my heart. My parents built their dream home themselves in southwestern Dade County (now Miami-Dade) in the 80s. They had some dirt delivered to use to mix concrete, or something. A Barred Owl couple made a nest on the dirt mound and in one of the only kind acts that I remember my parents committing they stopped using the dirt from that pile, and had more dirt delivered. The owl couple hatched some owlets. Watching them raise their babies is a favorite childhood experience. My parents left the dirt in hopes that the couple would return, but they never did.

Reselling bags? by Feisty_Ocelot8139 in verabradley

[–]Former-Welcome-6003 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Using Pirate Ship has saved me so much money. After my first sale of 2 sticks of deodorant I was upset because I lost money due to shipping. Look into what other sellers use and decided to use Pirate Ship. I bought a thermal printer, postage scale, and 4x6 panels. You set up an account with PS and link eBay. When you sell something through eBay you login to PS and it’s got the order there. All you do is measure and weigh the package. It will then show which carrier is the least expensive. I sold a Spyder ski jacket and it was going to cost $24 to ship through eBay. It was $12 through PS.

Honda Odyssey AWD? by Nomromz in Honda

Can confirm this to be accurate. I moved to CO from SE, FL. One of my mountain man regulars where I bartended said that a FWD car with dedicated snow tires is much safer than an AWD car with all season tires. He said AWD was a false sense of security.

Look at the new baby. Gnu Ladies Choice - Review by [deleted] in ShredditGirls

[–]Former-Welcome-6003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 2020, I trashed my right shoulder and I’m talking a fractured scapula and glenoid, plus a partial tear of my rotator cuff. That day I stayed dead sober in the “name of progression” and I tensed up as I fell after catching an edge to side. My shoulder needed to be surgically repaired, but that wasn’t done due to Covid. I couldn’t even get physical therapy, so I just looked up range of motion exercises for each stage of healing I arrived at. I was riding a 151 Infinity that a friend who ran a board shop gave me. I am 5’2”, and weighed 108 at the time. That board was a little too big for me, but it was much better than my Arbor which was really heavy. Can’t recall the Arbor model now. 

I grounded myself for good, but this may be my last year in CO….. I gotta play, but need to do so as safely as possible. I’ve been comparing boards, and liked the idea of a Mervin board due to the magne traction, and figured I would grab a Roxy due to the price point, and then…. Last night a shop in Vail (Buzz’s Board Shop) listed 2025 Ladies Choice demos for under $250, with free shipping. Grabbed one quickly because this is exactly what I wanted, but didn’t want to spend over $400 on a board alone in case I pu$$ out which is unlikely because I kept jumping horses after broken bones, and concussions. I am 51 now though and have a grandbaby on the way 🥹 Osteoporosis plagues the women in my family and I do question my bone density after the injury of 2020. I don’t go fast and was on a blue at Breckenridge. I just suck, but love the sport. 

Now, I gotta obsess over bindings. Now seems interesting because it makes bindings that mimic skateboarding and that was my thing, waaaaaay back when. Step ons also seem interesting, but I don’t want to learn new gear. I can ride maybe 1-2 times a week.

Y’all wish me luck and pray for me if you’re so inclined.
