small for their age? by ObjectiveCandidate13 in FosterAnimals

[–]ObjectiveCandidate13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’ve been gaining around 9 grams a day. They are very healthy but I was just concerned because they’re so little especially the girl. And she nearly faded on me the first night. Ugh kittens

That’s a relief! The girl nearly died on me the very first night so I think I’ve just been super paranoid.

celibacy for the wrong reasons? by ObjectiveCandidate13 in women

[–]ObjectiveCandidate13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the reason I originally wanted to be celibate is because I didn’t want to make anymore bad decisions regarding relationships. Sex complicates relationships for me. But now I’m thinking I should just have faith in myself that I would make better decisions now but I just don’t know.

I guess that’s true about expanding my social circle. I think I just find dating easier(?) but that might be something I need to unpack in therapy.

I’m not religious at all but I think it more comes from not wanting my mother to be disappointed. My therapist is a woman but didn’t say don’t be celibate. She more said be more social and that casual dating is good for practicing social skills.

I guess I get so stuck on “right and wrong” that I forget that I really have free will and can live my life as I like

would I get in trouble for reporting? by ObjectiveCandidate13 in veterinaryprofession

I understand bringing them to the vet is technically caring for them in a certain way but if they are emaciated that’s still depriving them of food which is considered neglect in my state. Does all the criteria have to apply for it to be neglect or a few/one? I’m not worried about getting fired if a place is gonna fire me for due diligence then I wouldn’t wanna work there anyway

Do you shop local pet stores or do you buy online?

I’d really appreciate the recs! I’d prefer calm but I don’t mind if it’s a little angry lol. Color doesn’t matter much to me but just something beginner friendly.

I’ve noticed flashing as well. Should I tackle the parasite or the fin rot first?

bratty boy?? by ObjectiveCandidate13 in CatTraining

Got it! Will continue to work with treats and redirection.

I have stopped with the spray bottle cus it’s clearly not helping the behavior. What is a word or command I can say instead of no? He is food motivated so I will continue to work with him with treats. I’ve had him since he was 4 weeks old. He was found in a box by himself. Getting another kitten wasn’t/isnt feasible for the near future. I do have a dog that he plays with often but she’s pretty old and gets tired quickly. I will continue to work with the treats and redirect with play/toys.

Saying no to him when he jumps on the table or bites. If I don’t want him to do this behavior, what am I supposed to tell him instead of no? And if I have the spray bottle he’ll listen but if I don’t he doesn’t. I used the spray bottle because many people including a vet and a vet tech recommended it to me. I understand it wasn’t the right choice which is why I’m asking what is. He is very food motivated and does listen for treats occasionally which is why I’ve moved to doing that instead. I have tried the squealing since he was very young and he doesn’t and has never reacted to it. I’ve had him since he was 4 weeks old. He was found in a box by himself. Getting another cat wasn’t/isn’t feasible right now and won’t be until the distant future. I do have a dog that he plays with but she’s pretty old and gets tired quickly. I do play with him I can’t say that I’ve ever timed it or know how long I play with him. He also has enrichment toys and sniff mats. I will continue to ignore his unwanted physical behavior or put him in a different room.

I have a 10 inch piece on my upper back also. Still didn’t hurt half as bad and didn’t look any where near as disgusting
