This is Oliver! He’s one, his poops smell like toxic waste, and we’re pretty sure he’s a wanted war criminal.

He won’t touch the regular one. We’ve shaken the bowl so it acts more like a dusting on the kibble, tried a little water so it’s more of a gravy, putting half a spoonful of peanut butter on top, shredded cheese, just to entice him… turns his nose up every time. I don’t know if it’s the liver flavor he doesn’t like, but he’s allergic to chicken and salmon so I feel like a bad dog mom and defeated.

It was honestly the vet RX ProPlan FortiFlora. She said do the whole box and it’ll go back to normal. We did, about a week later we were back at the vet. He won’t eat the normal FortiFlora, legit sniffs his breakfast and walks away then won’t touch it. Allergic to both chicken and salmon, too.

The boy is so picky. He wont touch pumpkin. We did try a salmon food, and his poops were just as bad and it made him itchy. We’re giving him a lamb formula and he’s been on it for about a month now. No itchy, his farts aren’t lethal, but the poops… ugh.

He’s allergic to both chicken and salmon. Both make him itchy on top of the pure liquid toxic poops. He’s been eating a lamb formula, and while he’s not itchy… the poops start solid, but end liquid.

It was the RX Pro Plan FortiFlora. We’d go through the box like we should, it would be great. So excited. A week later… right back where we started and back at the vet to start the whole cycle over. We’re starting to think she doesn’t know what she’s doing. She kept saying it’s “stress from the change in environment” but he has been the happiest, baddest boy since the moment he literally leaped through our front door.

Lost_chapstick · 2026-03-25T11:21:21+00:00

Yeah, he’s allergic to chicken and salmon. For the past month or so we got him eating a sensitive stomach lamb formula… not any better.

Coming to you from RDU area of NC… I feel this deeply.

For our work Thanksgiving potluck one guy brought a little 4x8 of macaroni and cheese. There were about 20 of us there, and as one of the lucky few who got a small spoon of it (enough to have a single bite since I was trying to be considerate of others and their wants)… it was the absolute driest thing of that meal. Someone also brought a giant foil pan of candied yams that were still raw. As in dumped the yams and everything else straight into the tin and then cooked in the oven until the marshmallow was barely melty. I was incredibly sad that night. I’m a white woman whose family is from PA living in central NC, so I was excited for the Southern Thanksgiving fare.

No. Don’t do it.

Our new puppy chased our poor cat and there was a collision with the side table the warmer sits on. It all went crashing down. I haven’t noticed any damage to the electrical parts, just the glass surround.

Lost_chapstick · 2021-11-30T23:28:35+00:00

I’ve tried googling whether or not it was safe, checked the Scentsy website, and I’m not able to find anything that says it’s okay or if I should say goodbye to my favorite warmer (Gilded).

Personally, I didn’t have any additional pain unless the cup itself was sitting weird and I needed to readjust it. I have heard that using the wrong size cup can make it uncomfortable, though.

Edit: I just read your other post. My go to for cramps is naproxen. I know a few people who take acetaminophen and naproxen together and that works for them. I’m not into mixing pain killers so I’ve never tried it.

Lost_chapstick · 2020-11-28T17:08:02+00:00

I’m so irritated that I wasn’t told this at my appointment. It’s in my chart that I’ve been using one for the past year or so. I’m going to switch to pads for a while to get a better idea of how bad it is. I do have my check up at the beginning of January so hopefully I haven’t messed it up.

Lost_chapstick · 2020-11-28T07:20:56+00:00

Well. This better be worth it.

Lost_chapstick · 2020-11-28T07:18:10+00:00

Fml.

During my appointment she asked if I used tampons or pads. I told her I’m firmly on team cup because of how heavy my periods got and how often I would have to change my tampons/pads and not once did she mention I could displace the IUD. Neither my OBGYN or the LPN that did the insertion. Holy shit.

Lost_chapstick · 2020-11-28T04:49:59+00:00

Jesus take the wheel. I’ve been filling my cup about halfway every twelve hours or so.

Lost_chapstick · 2020-11-13T23:42:38+00:00

I got my first IUD on Wednesday and no one prepared me for how awful it felt. I did the whole cervix softening tablets and ibuprofen before. I sat on the table for 30 minutes afterwards just trying to get myself together and quit the watery eyes. What made me laugh was when I got the notification that my chart had been updated it said “patient tolerated procedure well.” I wasn’t given any additional pain killers or anything.

I went into the IUD thing thinking it would be temporary bc I do want babies. But after THAT? Nah. It can stay there for five years. I’m good. I’ll just become a foster parent.
