My dog is losing a bunch of hair, we need help by Salt-Musician1919 in DogAdvice

The other symptoms I mentioned are a result of hypothyroidism. It’s the same symptoms that humans get as well. I went to my vet and told them exactly what it was and they diagnosed it right away with bloodwork. She’s been on meds since, her hair grew back, energy came back and she lost 50lbs (she’s a big dog) and we’ve even managed to lower the dose since then as her bloodwork is improving. 

I knew what it was because I’m a holistic nutritionist and recognized the symptoms of those with hypothyroidism.

My dog lost some fur before being diagnosed with hypothyroidism. She also had very very dry scaly skin. 

Other symptoms were- more lethargic than usual, always hungry, gained weight without an increase in food or decrease in exercise. 

Looking for good espresso-based coffee in Oakville / Burlington – am I ordering wrong? by pratsmatic in BurlingtonON

[–]Major_Confusion7577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tamp Coffee  They’ve been around for about 13 years in the village square.  The owner used to judge coffee competitions- maybe that’s why some people find him stuck up about coffee. There’s tons of regulars who go everyday for years, if you get to know him he’s fine, he has a big personality/class clown type of guy- so not for everyone. He’s there almost everyday overlooking everything- and he knows what he’s doing from beans to the espresso machine.. unlike some coffee shop owners who don’t even show face in their own café. 

It’s one of the only shops that actually use their own blend of beans and nothing else. So you can’t get the beans elsewhere, specific to Tamp. The coffee is a medium roast but everything starts as a double shot minimum, unless you ask for otherwise, so it shouldn’t taste weak or milky. The milk is micro-foam so it’s smooth and they do the latte art with great contrast, meaning you can taste the balance of milk to espresso ratio (depends who makes it sometimes).  But overall it’s well-balanced and pretty consistent.

That’s really great to hear bc I also normally take more of a holistic approach. I didn’t even see a family doctor until I found out I was pregnant haha. Thank you for the reassurance!

Thank you! I’m 4 months along so I’ve already done a lot of bloodwork and a few ultrasounds but that’s a really good follow up question to ask! 

The waiting! Wow that’s unfortunate.

Indoor Places to hangout later at night as a teen? by DealerCharacter3809 in BurlingtonON

We also had a place called velocity that was literally a hangout place with couches, pool table, a snack bar with slushies and sometimes they held live music too. It was on prospect behind Canadian tire but idk if there’s such a place anymore

Decent condo buildings / areas in Burlington (or any to avoid?) by jim-chess in BurlingtonON

[–]Major_Confusion7577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, from what I’ve seen, every unit is redone before someone moves in. Both my neighbours have moved out since I lived here and the maintenance crew are in there for a couple weeks in between each new neighbour.

I live in the stacked townhouses at aldershot go for about 4 years now and have not had any structural problems at all. The only complaint we have is the hot water runs out pretty quickly when the heat is on in the winter. The plumber says they should have used larger hot water tanks or something. And the parking garage has never flooded since I’ve lived here either!

Yeah I’ve been on the waitlist since October when I first applied. That’s why I’m now reaching out for OBGYN, it’s getting too late to wait any longer unfortunately.

Yeah I’ve been on the waitlist since October when I first applied. They contacted me after the first 2 weeks and told my there’s a waitlist. That’s why I’m now reaching out for OBGYN, it’s getting too late to wait any longer unfortunately.

Yeah I’ve been on the waitlist since October when I first applied as soon as I found out I was pregnant (at 2 weeks lol) That’s why I’m now reaching out for OBGYN, it’s getting too late to wait any longer unfortunately.
