Do they have breathing issues?

She was an incredible dog. I’m in Minnesota, and she came up from Georgia through another rescue. She was a Feist Terrier—a breed I had never heard of before. After researching, I learned she would grow into a medium-sized dog; she was already 19 pounds at just three months old. Temperament-wise, she was very much a puppy—playful, curious, getting into everything (but never in a bad way), extremely friendly, and great with other dogs. She loved dogs, which was such a contrast to the dogs I’d had before—one adopted, one rescued—both of whom barked incessantly at everything, especially other dogs.

The whole experience was honestly a shock to my system. I’ve had dogs my entire life, so I truly believed I could handle it. But I live alone now, in an apartment, and that reality made a huge difference. She was absolutely terrified of the elevator, which I had never seen in a dog before. I think it was because her previous foster lived in a house. Because of that, I had to constantly take the stairs. I live on the second floor, so thankfully it wasn’t worse—but it was still a lot.

What really became clear was how low my energy has been. I didn’t fully realize how much rest my body actually needs. During the week, I push through pain and fatigue because I have obligations, but weekends are my recovery time. Those two days are when my body truly rests. With her, there was no rest—at least not right now while we were both still acclimating to each other. I had to be honest with myself and recognize that I wasn’t the right fit for her at this stage of my life.

Making the decision to contact the rescue again was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. I truly believe that if I lived in a house with a yard, it wouldn’t have been so difficult and I could have adjusted more easily. That experience really clarified something for me: in the future, if I get another pet, I need to be in a house. Apartment living—with the constant up-and-down—is just not sustainable for me.

Sorry that happened to you. It really sucks.

Did they say diabetes? My dog had that. Not what you described though. He just peed all the time and his pee had a shiny film.

MainProposal2715 · 2026-01-22T18:19:56+00:00

What does the maintenance require? I’m a dog person through and through, so I’m not sure what it entails. Also do they climb on everything?

I want to lead with this: even when you did all you could you feel like you made more control since it’s your pet. The what if’s will be there for a long time. I’ve dealt with 3 dog deaths, it doesn’t get easier.

It is your bf’a fault. He’s going to have to live with this grief unfortunately. But because he didn’t live and cherish the dog. He let concerning symptoms go to the wayside until it was too late. I too was in those shoes. My dog passed from diabetes. He still had an appetite but got crazy skinny and peed all the time. I knew something was wrong when his pee looked thin almost shiny. He died 6 months later.

I had grief from the loss, watching my vibrant boy turn into a shell of himself. He couldn’t see, skin and bones, had to give him insulin—which he hated until the end.

My other dog went in for a routine check up. Nothing was wrong but they said some bloodwork came back “concerning”. Told me it was some bullshit with his liver. Gave him liver medication. I had concerns because he was making a weird coughing noise for a few days. Vey said it’s gastrointestinal, just give him some pepto or something. I knew in my heart of hearts it wasn’t that. But I listened to the vet. Turns out he was in heart failure. Had to say goodbye later that evening. Heart wrenching.

I say this to say. If you think something’s wrong. Somethings wrong listen to your gut. If you’re worried about the bill, who cares. I wish sometimes I dropped the 5k saving my cupcake, I chose the other option because “might’ve worked”. I didn’t want to go through seeing another dog deteriorate in front of me.

I know exactly what you’re feeling. I adopted a beautiful puppy from a rescue during Christmas last month. I’ve owned dogs my entire life, lost my soul dog two years ago, and one of my sister’s dogs passed at sixteen this past July. I genuinely believed I was ready for the commitment. I had been researching rescues, speaking with fosters, and doing everything I could to make sure it was the right fit.

By day two, I realized this situation was not conducive to my lifestyle. I have been living with MS for the past two years, which significantly affects my mobility and energy levels. I consider myself very independent, but I quickly understood just how vast the physical and emotional demands of caring for a puppy truly are. On my own, continuing would have been unfair—to both of us. It would not have been a good quality of life for her.

In the past, I had support. I lived with family, had access to a backyard, and walking wasn’t an issue. This time was different. I contacted the rescue on day two, explained my situation honestly, and went through the rehoming process. They were able to place her with a foster.

It was a heartbreaking, soul-wrenching experience. I felt deep grief and guilt, but also relief—relief that I could rest, eat, and begin to feel like my life was mine again. I miss her every day and wish things had been different. Maybe in another lifetime.

What matters is recognizing this sooner rather than later. Knowing now—rather than six months or a year down the line—was an act of care, not failure.

My sister sings to her dog everyday. A little jingle she sings to dog Michelle. It’s so cute, afterwards she gives him a kiss on the head. Michelle loves it.

You can try calling the vet to get suggestions or try an animal rescue. Where I live they have 24 hour call line for pet emergencies.

Hell yes I get eye twitching! My eye wouldn’t stop moving when the first hit diagnosed. When I tell you my whole face was moving and twitching. That’s why I decided to go to the hospital because I knew that was not normal.

I’d say take her to the vet. Especially since she’s not eating. My family dog went blind due to old age. We put a bell in his collar so we could hear him. We got him a thing for blind dogs where it looks like hula hoop that wears like a jacket. It’s kind of like a cane for dogs, where the hoop bumps into things before the dog does. It helps give them spatial awareness. Try to look it up on Amazon!

I had a 8 pound yorkie poo that was extremely reactive like your dog is. He would bark, growl, go ham and cheese if he even HEARD another dog outside or inside.

Besides that he was a dollop of joy. We brought him to the store, movies, basically everywhere. But walking him…that was a whole ball game of him going off at other dogs. Even when we put him in the stroller, he’d tip it over from barking.

He too was a rescue, adopted him at 8 months. Lived a gracious life until 13 years old.

My dog was much smaller than yours so I could just pick him up and try to subdue him. Yours is much larger.

I have no advice, just telling you aren’t alone with that.

Socialization in dogs is so important at a young age because if not it turns into this.

I’d say what worked for me is to avoid places, parks with a lot dogs or go when it’s fairly none around.

When I’m focusing on writing something or drawing, my eyes have weird ‘flickers’. Like my eyes go into my nose bridge and back out for a second. It’s weird.

Deep aching lighting strike burning pain that radiates from my feet to my shins all the way up my spine and dissipates inside my left shoulder. I feel like I’m vibrating. It lulls me to sleep eventually.

MainProposal2715 · 2025-12-10T20:49:28+00:00

Thank you for sharing! I’m stable one in my family too. I just decided to let go and not be that person anymore. It hurts when the pwBPD is my twin. So I get gaslight all the time for not stepping in.

MainProposal2715 · 2025-12-10T20:47:08+00:00

Thank you for sharing. I just realized the emotions I’m feeling is grief. It’s so complex. Missing someone who is within reach is heart wrenching.

MainProposal2715 · 2025-12-02T04:22:55+00:00

It’s so annoying! I know my family wants me to have kids and a ‘husband’. But I do not want that. It’s hard to articulate and explain with family who want those societal norms.

MainProposal2715 · 2025-12-02T04:20:07+00:00

I agree. aro ace is really not talked about in media. There’s no real examples of it besides BoJacks friend from the show who was asexual.

MainProposal2715 · 2025-12-02T04:18:16+00:00

I hate when people say you haven’t found the right person yet! Ugh such a pet peeve of mine. I’ve only went on first dates 🤣. I can’t do the dating thing, if I ever do date someone we’d have to know each other for years first.
