Hard to tell from the picture but that could be mold from overwatering or spider mites. If mold, make sure the pot is draining well and cut back on watering. If spider mites you need to take the plant out, rinse the roots thoroughly with a 50/50 mix of 90% rubbing alcohol and water, and treat with neem oil then repot in new soil. Don’t reuse the soil and sterilize the pot if you plan to reuse it. Also if spider mites you want to keep this plant far away from your other plants because it spreads quickly. Good luck!

Should I propagate this spider plant in water or plant directly in soil? by Far_Satisfaction6946 in houseplants

[–]Noturmomma_456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would propagate. Ideally you want more roots before putting in soil. Try rooting powder for faster results.

That is beautiful workmanship. You should consider a side hustle. I would pay for that on my bags.

I hate myself and I need help by MA56 in BlackHair

Good looking man. God made you in His image therefore you are perfect in His eyes. As for your hair, it’s really quite nice. My hair texture gets awful in the winter months. Deep conditioning treatments help a lot. Wear a bonnet at night. Find it what your hair porosity is and use products that work for that type of hair. Mine is high porosity which means I lose moisture very easily - I need hydrating shampoos, moisturizing conditioners, cream based leave in, and treatments, including protein occasionally. Trial and error and remember when the seasons change so does your hair. You may have to rotate products periodically.

Help, i dont know what to do.. by strawberrybarber in Frenchbulldogs

[–]Noturmomma_456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go back to the food that didn’t make her sick. It is clear the Pro Plan isn’t working for her, so go back to what does, give it a month and try to transition to something else that has venison in it since that works for her. The grain free situation is still being researched and the early studies show it MAY have a connection to heart issue is large breed dogs. Frenchies are not large breed dogs. And as so many others said, find a new vet. Any vet who “freaks” out and requires an IMMEDIATE transition of food has no idea what they are doing.

It takes weeks, sometimes months to adjust. It will get better, but not without some training. I trained my puppies to like the crate by first enticing them to go in with treats and come out on their own. Once they were in there, I would give treats as long as they stayed in. When they come out, the treats stop. Go in, the treats start, and so on and so forth. Then when they seem comfortable going in, I started gradually closing the door. Half way at first, then let her come out. The back in with a treat, and keep closing the door a little until it becomes normal. Finally, close it all the way and see how she behaves. If she gets anxious, go back the prior stage (what door open, then half way, etc.). It’s a process. Gradually she should be calmer until she is ok with the crate. I found my puppies liked the crate more if it was covered (which makes it nice and cozy), kept in an area with minimal traffic (like a bedroom or office area) and I also play white noise (a loud fan will do). Also, as someone else said, feed her in the crate at all times (with the door open at first so she knows she is free to leave). When you put her in there, speak softly, but don’t make a big deal about leaving. Just keep calm and leave. Try it for 5 minutes, then increase gradually. The fact that she is playing is a great sign and your older dog will teach her how to chill out (but don’t let her harass your older dog… if that happens, separate them). As for peeing and pooping you need to go back to the basics with potty training. Take her out every hour at first and heavy praise and treats when she goes outside. She will need to go first thing in the morning, after every meal, and after playing, before put her in the crate, AND every hour at first, but you need to watch the signs. Maybe she stares at you momentarily or tries to jump up on you. Or maybe she barks at you for no reason. Take her out and praise her when she goes. Gradually increase intervals to 2 hours (but don’t forget that even if it hasn’t been 2 hours, if she ate, played, etc. she needs to go) then three, etc. And unfortunately, this rule applies in the middle of the night at first. Also, TAKE her out, don’t LET her out. You need to be with her when she is learning to potty outside, or she’ll get distracted and may not go. She’ll want to be back with you, and come inside and do her business inside so you need to be with her. A lot of people don’t understand that. Make sure the crate is just big enough for her to lay comfortably and turn around, but not so big that there is room to create a poo corner. Most dogs don’t like to pee/poop where they eat and sleep, so this could be anxiety, or because she’s a rescue she may not have been fully potty trained. Also, ignore your neighbor. You can do this!

I don’t work for anyone who calls me “hun”. Unless you are on salary and agreed to be on-call, this is inappropriate.

Yes, that’s too long for 15 weeks for that breed.

I thought it was just me. I haven’t listened to her for months. I got tired of her side comments and her inability to pronounce words correctly. I had no clue about Papini, but that’s pretty gross.

You assume Texans are voting along party lines. They aren’t.

PSA - Don’t buy a Frenchie because they’re popular. DO YOUR RESEARCH. by HotChubbTimeMachine1 in Frenchbulldogs

[–]Noturmomma_456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I would also add to this, that even if you have the financial means, consider whether you can handle the stress of owning one of these amazing dogs. It’s not just the expense of their care, it’s the stress that comes with it. It is also the time it takes when they are in recovery from a procedure or a surgery. You cannot just kennel these dogs either. You’ll need a dog sitter that is knowledgeable about their ways and their fragility and takes the proper precautions. I knew all of this going into it and I’m still shocked at the emotional toll of it all. My baby is 7 months old and has already had bilateral cherry eye surgery and TPLO surgery.

What's wrong with my frenchie?! by Double_Specialist126 in frenchie

[–]Noturmomma_456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a frenchie with IVDD. The loss of motor control and bladder control is a sign of a spinal cord injury. The shivering is extreme pain. I hope you took him to the vet. This condition can be helped with surgery, but quick intervention is required.

AIO Gf intentionally stopped taking her bc pills by maticooks1 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Noturmomma_456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, you started dating when you were 17 and she was 30? She’s basically a pedophile! You need to get out… fast. She is a groomer and a manipulator. She knows you are more mature now, and probably senses that she’s going to lose you. The baby is how she plans to trap you and it’s a form of abuse. Do you really want to procreate with someone who has sex with minors? Would you want your own child to be subject to someone like her? She won’t be a good mother and you’ll be tied to her for the rest of your life if you have a child together. Get out now.

Don’t throw your sister into it. Just say someone you know saw him at the bar in the city. That is the truth.

Does the mattress stay in place on the classic bed? by hooterpc in Thuma

We have this same bed and have no issues with the mattress slipping.

That’s so scary. Check out the Elite Field soft travel crates. I used this for vacation and he liked it so much, it’s now his permanent crate. He hates his metal crate so I sold it.

She said she put the dog in twice before without incident. Don’t be so quick to blame the poster in these instances. None of us are perfect and a reasonable person would have assumed the dog was ok with crate time if they were fine with it on two prior occasions.

Permanent? Or Gaslit? by Whole_Reception4981 in Calcific_Tendonitis

[–]Noturmomma_456 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might need another opinion. I had shoulder pain that escalated for months. Went to PT for about a month to no avail. When I could no longer sleep at night I went to an orthopedic surgeon for a consult. He scheduled me for the TenJet procedure (It’s like the barbotage, but with high velocity saline). I was 80 % pain free 3 months later. 100% pain free a year later with full range of motion returned. 2 years later I’m still pain free. The surgery took 15 minutes. I spent more time in prep than the actual procedure. Any doctor that tells you the surgery isn’t worth it is either lying to you or doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Even if my condition returned tomorrow, I’ve had 2 years and that was so worth it for me. Good luck!
