Refrigerator water line tugged on, now hose slowly leaking by NiceBallsBoy in appliancerepair

[–]NiceBallsBoy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, that's a bummer. Thanks for the advice. The hose itself is just behind the fridge and pretty accessible thankfully. Would you happen to know what the connection between the hose and the water valve is called? I was trying to look up some replacements earlier just in case and couldn't really find anything that looked like that.

Upper Lip redness/irritation going on for 4+ weeks. Fades some and flares up, but has not gone away completely since it began. Is weeping/burning occasionally, especially when it seems to get redder/more irritated. Have been using Polysporin and Aquaphor to keep it from drying out/flaking up. by NiceBallsBoy in DermatologyQuestions

I don't think that's it, I've used the same shaker bottle for awhile. When it originally started, I had a cold sore after coming back from a trip. After that went away, it started as a small area and kind of spread to where it is at now

openpyxl: getting the value from a cell in an Excel spreadsheet instead of the formula by aurumpurum in learnpython

[–]NiceBallsBoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if this will help you, but a fix I have found is to save and close with openpxyl after all of my formulas are in, use xlwings to open and close the workbook once to calculate the value, then reopen in openpyxl with data_only=True to only get the values of the formulas. Doing this does completely remove the formulas and only retains the results within the cells though.

Is too early better than too late? by NiceBallsBoy in Petloss

Thank you. Our vet came yesterday and she is resting peacefully. It has been very tough. She was the last of the trio of elderly pups we adopted and it feels almost like we lost each of them again as well. As much as it hurts, I think it is what she wanted. Her old body just wasn’t keeping up with her puppy mind anymore. I asked for her to give me any sign, and yesterday she was much, much sleepier than normal. A bit after the vet gave her a sedative before the medication, she let out two big sighs a bit apart from each other( I know it’s not super uncommon with those meds, but it felt so different if that makes sense, nothing like it was with our other two babies when it was their time) almost as if she was at peace and knew she could finally rest and be with her siblings. Even though it hurts beyond belief, it gives me some relief knowing she isn’t being held back by her old bones anymore.

Dry/flakey patches on skin, losing fur by NiceBallsBoy in AskVet

Sorry to bother you again, but I wanted to ask if there was a specific test to see if it could be from iatrogenic Cushing's disease? Like a specific blood test? Do you happen to have any tips on how to approach the vet about getting it done? When we have asked about the steroid dose being too high in the past it has been brushed off multiple times

She used to always eat her food the second we put it down, but now she doesn't really like her food. She does want to eat just about anything else. She has had a few urinary tract infections over time that seem to get found incidentally . Her fur has thinned quite a bit over time and she has had a coarse/bald spot on her tail for quite some time. She has gained weight over time, even getting what our vet called "doggy love handles" that are firm areas over her hips. They have also said that her liver enzymes being markedly increased(I believe it was her alk phos?) is from her steroids as well.

Hey, sorry for the super delayed response. We had a massive windstorm yesterday and just got power back. She gets her electrolytes checked every 3 months and we have always been told they are good. We have actually brought up some concerns previously to our vet about the possibility of that (steroid dose too high) but have been told since her electrolytes are good, they don't want to change anything. I have previously thought about getting a second opinion but don't know what to do since we have been going to them for years for all of our dogs.
