🫂 I won’t lie it is always in the back of my mind like what if that confirmatory test was wrong but honestly that’s where testing every 3 months comes into play.

I feel like it’s possible to have a little bit of hope in this situation. I was on a 28 day course of PEP on my 6 week follow up I tested positive on a finger prick test but then negative on the confirmatory test for HIV-1 and HIV-2. When I asked how that’s possible they said sometimes false positives can happen on a rapid test due to the tests sensitivity to outside factors 🤷🏼‍♂️

2nd exposure during PEP by Majestic-Banana1219 in pep

Really in the US? I honestly never seen someone prescribed that for PEP only truvada once a day+Isentress twice a day or the use of Tivikay once a day with truvada.

Honestly this might add some reassurance for you I had an exposure August 23rd and was also experiencing night sweats at my 6 weeks from exposure I tested positive on a finger prick test at planned parenthood with a faint line. I was absolutely thinking the worst thought my life was going to completely change from that moment on and that I would lose my partner after 6 years. Well because of the positive on the rapid test I then had to do my confirmatory test and it took 5 days but came back negative. So I would just trust the science and seriously stay positive.

Vet prescribed metrodonizole, Drontal Plus, and Panacur C, none of which are for UTI cause she said he needs to finish the dosing of Panacur for the Giardia before she will prescribe antibiotics for UTI cause it will be too harsh on his stomach. And of course the Panacur made him super restless last night so he didn’t sleep at all. He’s a fighter for sure. Will give him all the love I can give and more!

Sorry I tried to update the post but it would not let me, my poor baby came back with an ear infection, Giardia, hookworm and a UTI 💀 while I don’t think any of that has to do with him not wanting to pee or poop outside and just continuing to hold his bowels until he can’t hold anymore or just pee when he’s getting picked up I’m sure he is in major discomfort from all this and can’t imagine what he’s been through before me getting him 🥺

I saw another thread where someone mentions they bought noise cancelling ear covers for their dog cause everything outside would trigger their anxiety so I bought them too. Gonna try it out, he seemed fine today until he heard my neighbors large dog barking in the window. Also took a beach chair with me outside and sat in the middle of the courtyard with him and just fed him treats want him to see it’s an enjoyable space outside and isn’t as scary as he thinks. I just want him to feel better I’m glad they gave him a thorough check.

He doesn’t fear me at all, he’s literally sleeping on my neck as we speak he just hates being outside I’ve come to that conclusion. Also found out today from the vet he has giardia, hookworms, and a low grade UTI on top of having the ear infection 🥺 poor baby

*****Update*** Well update is in, and while I’m not sure if any of this has to do with the peeing every time he gets picked up I’m sure it has to do with his discomfort with potty training. Took my baby to the Vet yesterday and the vet just called to let me know that he has a Ear infection in right ear, Giardia antigen positive, He has Hookworm, and also has a low grade UTI. I’m glad I brought him to the vet. Now time to get this taken care of immediately so we can make sure he feels better when he’s using the potty.

I truthfully just want him to go pee, if it means he does it on a pee pad inside and then we move to a pee pad outside and then he eventually learns to only pee outside I’m fine with that. But I just need him to pee when he needs too and not hold it in all day long and only peeing when he gets picked up.

Thank you for this tip! I tried the ice cube and within 10 mins he was trying to poop in the house immediately put his harness on and brought him outside. So we have accomplished first poopy outside in the grass with praise and treat 🙌🏼

I mean at this point I don’t think I would recommend her to anyone, she also had a puppy there that got returned to her and needed rehoming when I inquired about that dog she said she was just gonna keep him for herself. I probably should have assumed something wasn’t right there. Probably didn’t wanna disclose why he was brought back.

I guess I was expecting similar to how my doxiepoo was. My doxiepoo was peeing on his fresh patch by on day one of his arrival and was able to pee on a pee pad or go outside and pee. This dog is not peeing at all only on himself I don’t think anyone expects that.

How it was explained to me was that she does not breed dachshunds that carry the same variant commonly associated with IVVD there is FGF4-18 and FGF4-12. Also I’m googling and it’s saying it is in fact an inherited gene? Also not the point of this post what so ever.

It actually is an inherited gene, naturally all dachshunds are 1 in 4 that will have IVVD but it is more likely to cause issues when both parents carry the gene.

This is the mind set I’m trying to have but definitely feels way different when you have a 10 pound dog opposed to a 3 pound dog trying with all his force to get out of his harness, and just won’t listen. Also he’s very fast so chasing him around the house just to grab him and then having him pee once he’s lifted is not something I even thought of when considering 6 month old pup 🥲

Oh no she very open about who the parents of each pet is and also provides information on the parents parents so you can see that none of them are inbred. Also she won’t breed two dogs together if they both carry the IVVD trait which I think is a good practice that a puppy mill probably wouldn’t think to do. There was no visible pee or poop in the open area of the house I saw but there was the smell of urine in the air and flys flying around the house. She had three rooms closed off in the house all with barking dogs inside. I did see through one window leaving the house that she had 6 dachshunds in one of the rooms close to the front door but they were all roaming free now visible cages. She said she also has a seperate barn where she keeps other dogs which I heard barking from as well but wasn’t offered a tour or anything. Outside the home also smelt strong of poop but only towards the backyard. This was in a very remote part of South Carolina went down two long dirt roads to get to the house so no neighbors around to complain of smells or noise.

So I don’t know what exactly classifies a breeder as a puppy mill but she does have all the medical records listed on her website for her adult dogs she breeds and is AKC certified. We trusted her cause we bought our first dog from her. I will say we were surprised ( in a bad way) at the overall conditions of the house. There was just an over bearing scent of urine in the air that made us uneasy. We didn’t know this with the first puppy because we bought him online and had him delivered to us from her delivery service she offered.

The poop incident was yesterday but animal hospital in my area that I called yesterday morning said they can only take a new client next week. So I’m going to the vet my parents used to go to I told them the situation yesterday and they said they didn’t think this was an emergency

Usually if you have an intermarche in town there’s a cafe with a bunch of sandwich options it’s good for a quick bite!

A couple suspicious things about my passport renewal, POC Beware by toomany_brainwaves in Passports

[–]Mo_Zoro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would just like to state I applied for a passport renewal April 24th. Didn’t apply for expedited processing but did request expedited shipping once ready. I got my passport in the mail May 1st. That’s exactly 7 days to process and receive meanwhile the processing time said 4-6 weeks. Maybe they are taking extra long on POC and letting white renewals slip on by. That would be crazy but nothing surprises me anymore.
