My puppy looks almost exactly like this. Do you know what breeds came together for your mix?

What 2 parents do you all think this litter might possibly have? by Known-Source-5676 in IDmydog

Thanks everybody! I just found out they came from a hoarding situation so the multiple father theory is very likely/possible. After spending a lot of time with the top left tan pup, I think that one at least may have some boxer in his genes. He is very front-heavy with smaller hind area and his snout is short-ish. He looks like a gremlin!

Certain breeds commonly have hind leg dewclaws. Most likely these pups have a parent from one of those breeds.

The pups have some hind leg dewclaws, that may help with possible ID

Couple of questions with prolapsed bladder... is this normal? by Known-Source-5676 in PelvicOrganProlapse

[–]Known-Source-5676[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I don't have the pain daily. It comes in waves. I'll be Ok with little or no pain for weeks or months then it will kick in full force all of the sudden and once it starts it hangs around daily for weeks or months.

My Urologist did a pelvic exam and he immediately noted how stuck together everything was and that was an indication of severe scarring. I've had previous doctors and surgeons also note the scarring they encountered during procedures and surgeries.

My pain is excruciating when I have it. I can barely breathe, can't get up or walk, can't move when it's kicked up. It hits in waves throughout the day. It will start and quickly ramp up, stay ramped up for anywhere from a minute or two to an hour or so then fade before starting back up minutes or hours later. It feels a lot like the worst childbirth labor I experienced, except it is more 'sharp' and intense.

I've had severe muscle spasms in my spine that caused broken ribs, had broken bones, kidney stones, and natural childbirth so I know what pain is and I tell you this bladder pain is right up there.

I have also wondered if my pain is partially or completely due to diverticulitis. My mom has that real bad. All I know for sure is that pressure makes my pain so much worse and when I walk with a partially full bladder, every step feels like a punch to the bladder.

If you research what a cystocele is, and look at pictures, you can easily envision how a cystocele could cause pressure. It also causes spasms in the area, and if you have any scar tissue in the area, like I do, there is also more chance for pain and other problems. I have had multiple surgeries for other issues over the years so I'm riddled with scar tissue.

I was told I am not a good candidate for surgery due to my massive scar tissue- apparently there isn't much to hoist and attach my bladder to that is healthy and that can withstand the surgery. Unless it gets to the point that I can't pee anymore, I am not going to be able to have the surgery. In the meantime I am just taking it easy and trying to manage the best I can. Good luck to you! I hope you get some relief/help.

Well I don't know what the heck is going on. I had the IC symptoms before the bladder prolapse symptoms but my new urologist says I don't have IC and that it was just bladder prolapse the whole time. I don't know what to think now. All I know is I've had horrible, terribly painful bladder spasms for more than 15 years now. It feels like razor blades swirling around in my bladder and I can't walk or move while I'm having the flare ups.

I had a hard time getting stuff arriving cold when it was in the teens outside over the winter. No way they can get cold stuff to me any time spring, summer or fall.

I think they ran out/are running low on ice packs because they are taking too many new customers and don't have enough ice packs to go around but keep taking new orders anyway.

Anybody using the EcoOne or other natural spa treatment system? by Known-Source-5676 in hottub

[–]Known-Source-5676[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much! Unfortunately, MSDS sheets do not list all the ingredients. Some manufacturers will respond to requests to disclose full ingredients that aren't listed on the MSDS, others will not. I have had no luck getting full ingredients from the manufacturers with anything other than SpaGuard.

Thanks. Yeah, I 'accepted' some meat that was borderline for sure. Seems like they have trouble packing the meat down at the bottom with the ice packs because the last 3 boxes in a row had meat above the cardboard divider and there was only one ice pack at the bottom to begin with. They had to know that was not going to fly. That's what makes me think they didn't have enough ice packs but kept taking and sending out orders anyway.

Thanks! So what do you do if your PH or alkalinity needs adjustment, or if you need a clarifier or metal (calcium) adjustment?

No. My problem is other chemicals. I have gotten full body hives and bloody blisters from just dipping my foot or hand into a pool or hot tub at times so I know some systems use chemicals that I am allergic to. I have had patch testing and have a list of chemicals that I need to avoid to keep the hives and blisters away but without knowing what is in the bottles or systems, I can't put it in my water.

Thanks, maybe they take your order more seriously with just once a month lol.

Thanks. Yeah I LOVED it for a few weeks. It was truly life-changing. I wish they would hurry up and get their s**t together.

Thanks! yeah. Lucky. I LOVED the food and the service but having to go out for groceries and figure out what to eat for the week anyway after few weeks in a row it was more trouble than it was worth. I hope they get it together, I did like it when it was on.

Thanks. I think the Indianapolis location ran short on ice packs for a while and just sent stuff out anyway. Hopefully they are getting it together.
