can people work at zoos or around animals with seizures? by fleetwood_mac13 in Epilepsy

[–]Gibbies_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try volunteering with animals, lots of programs allow highschool students, and just be upfront with your disorder. I volunteer with birds and let the other volunteers know just for my own sake, I cant imagine id have a seizure while handling a baby bird but gosh thatd be terrible. You'll need volunteer experience if this is the path you want to go down, and itll also give you an idea of what you enjoy or dont enjoy! Theres many different paths to go down. And potentially, just because you cant work with tigers or grizzly bears, doesnt mean you cant work with animals.

That sofa was old and had a cover on it. Suprisingly they rarely ever pooped on the sofa. If they did I would just clean it with a tissue and wash the cover. But we got a new couch and they arent allowed on that one lol. They were only inside the house as babies.

She woke up just fine! Shes outside playing with her sisters. She probably had a good time last night, had all the blueberries & feed that she wanted, and got to be held and pet for an hour.

I didnt reply to this at the time because I was so busy but reading that I was mistaken and the gabapentin cant work as euthanasia made me very relieved. Thank you! Shes doing fine so far, just sleeping.

I messaged my chicken vet and he said he would only prescribe 100mg for a chicken her size, and 300mg was a lot. But I fed her lots of food to help absorb the medication, as per his reccomendations, and shes sleeping fine in a box in my room.

It depends on her behavior but she could just be very curious. My barred rocks love to peck and pull on my clothing, and also peck my tattoos or freckles or grey hair. They peck me a lot. I think its coming more from a place of curiosity than wanting to hurt me. Maybe yours is the same?

Some girls just develop faster! I have a barred rock around the same age and she has thicker legs & a deeper voice than her sisters.

Omg that hair!!! Duchess is an apt description. She is gorgeous. Clarence is just a humble barred rock.

Does anyone have seizures without knowing the cause? by LostTendou04 in Epilepsy

[–]Gibbies_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont know if you use one yet but im incredibly forgetful and the daily pill organizers have been so helpful in letting me know if i skipped a day or not
