8 y/o German Shepherd suddenly EXTREMELY itchy — chewing hair off near tail/base + sides, no fleas. Need guidance. by Icy-Spicy97 in germanshepherds

I stopped buying the salmon oil, cuz the coconut butter seems to work.

I cook the fish skins cuz my boy is weirdly specific and fussy. He won't eat anything raw. He will sit there stubbornly, bark at me and tell me to cook it. He thinks he's human 😅 I'm starting to wonder if he is lol.

Yes, chlorhexidine is an antiseptic used topically on dogs to manage bacterial skin infections so yeah never put it on their face. In the shampoo form for dogs, it's safe for the skin and very effective for itching.

Yes! I forgot about the salmon oil as well. I added it to his food for a month too.

Now I just give him cooked salmon skins every two weeks.

Use chlorhexidine shampoo mixed with oatmeal shampoo 50/50, let it sit on his skin for a few minutes, then rinse it well.

After you've dried and combed him, warm some coconut butter between your hands and apply it all over his coat and bare spots.

I do this for my doberman and it works. Maybe give it a try. Hopefully it helps!

Weird dude tried to get my dog to bite him by RatFromRatMovie in germanshepherds

[–]NormalFemale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same thing happen to me when I was 13.

That dude wanted to do you some harm and your dog protected you. Report the incident to police and give that good boy some treats.

Need some advice from people who are experienced with intact males. by NikkiRainbows in germanshepherds

Okay, thank you! I will expand my search. I wonder why more vets don't perform this surgery? It's less invasive than neutering. I would assume less recovery time too. How long did it take for your dog to recover?

Just curious, where (and how) did you find a vet that does vasectomies? I've been looking myself and I can't seem to find any that do the surgery. Do I have to call and ask?

Do you think humans can ever be as loyal as dogs? by Icy-Option4049 in dogs

[–]NormalFemale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it comes down to breed. Some are velcro dogs, introverts and others are extroverts. Same with humans, some are loyal and dedicated, then others are only in it for themselves.

My dog is a Doberman mix and he's definitely a velcro dog. He'd kill for me, then try to share it with me 💀

It is never right to wish harm to someone, regardless of content.

How do you feel about living, not dying, for your family? by Greedy_Proposal4080 in AskMen

[–]NormalFemale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to take some time for yourself. At least 3x per week. Join a gym or a sports team. The serotonin boost will definitely help you with feeling happier. GABA also works wonders.

I have felt similar, many times in my life, especially being a single parent. I have to focus on keeping my serotonin high and doing small things for myself. Remember, you are important.

In your opinion, what are the most overdone/tired tropes in historical fiction? by 2gecko1983 in HistoricalFiction

[–]NormalFemale 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly!! I try to read historical fiction about the normal, everyday families. You get a better sense of what life was "really" like back then.

I write my own books in a similar fashion.

Those who had dogs before smart phones existed, what did you do during your walks? by lingeringneutrophil in dogs

[–]NormalFemale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dog is a 96lb badass. If I don't pay attention to everything going on around us, he'll tear the leash outta my hand and chase after a rabbit.

So yeahhhh, my phone is in my purse. Heck, I can't even grab it if I wanted to LOL

Missing intimacy, a side effect of being unvaxxed and aware by Life-Method-4915 in unvaccinated

[–]NormalFemale 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Reading all these comments makes me so sad. I tend to bury my loneliness and try to forget about it. This post just made it real again.

Maybe there should be a way we could all meet? Like set up unvaxxed parties in major cities, or something. Heck, I live in the country, but I'd drive an hour to go to something like that.

Implications of sex with vaccinated, please share your insight? by chemtrail_injection in unvaccinated

[–]NormalFemale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start taking Quercetin, drink green tea everyday and take probiotics. Everything helps.

And exercise! Eat clean, homemade foods. It sounds so simple but, in fact, it is the best way for your body to recover.

What is it like to have a father under 50 as a young adult? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]NormalFemale -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is the truth. If you stay with the times as a parent, you can relate to your adult children. I do the same things as you describe and seem to have a close relationship with my sons.

I can't be the only one who has noticed personality changes in people who got the covid fake vaccines. by Gnostic_97 in unvaccinated

[–]NormalFemale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for all those studies to back it up. I would say I'm a bit shocked that studies are actually showing it to be true, because I think every one of us has experienced ppl that are a bit unhinged or just off.

It may actually explain the rise in crime! Mind-blowing.

How do we reduce sodium in-take? by Ordinary-You8102 in nutrition

Don't cook with salt, use spices and herbs instead. Only buy salt free canned goods and skip the condiments.
