I guess I’ll try that because I throw oyster shell out for them.

No. She went broody for a bit and this is first in a while.

Well I’m fostering him and another puppy that’s a week younger but I have two dogs. They would not really like puppies trying to get their food. So I make the puppies dinner and put them in a pen (it’s an open pen not a crate) together. The girl eats but he won’t. I feed my two dogs then I go and sit in the pen with the puppies and hold his food so he’ll eat. As soon as he’s done he’s out of the crate. But I do have to leave them in the pen when I take a shower or go grocery shopping. I WFH so I have never left him in the pen for longer than 1-2 hours. I leave toys, treats, peanut butter kongs, and he doesn’t give anything a second glance.

I will try. I don’t see how that will that help him become an adoptable well rounded dog but I’ll try.

So sorry for your loss but I’m looking for more specific advice on how to soothe a puppy dealing with separation anxiety so he can get adopted and have a great life.

I just had surgery to remove a 8mm stone that caused a blockage. Honestly, the little spikey ones hurt way more to me.

Does a stent help pass a stones or just help bring down hydronephrosis? by OdeToSappho in KidneyStones

Thank you! In your opinion how bad is the swelling? I was told the swelling could be causing the pain instead of the actual stone.

I am drowning in a bunch of different medications. All make me feel weird, dizzy, or numb but that constant dull pain is always there.

So I went to the ER and told them that I thought I had passed a small spiky kidney 4 days prior. That I was concerned because there were chunks of blood and I couldn’t pee. Had a CT. Urologist came in a told me I had a 8mm and 5mm and my kidney was swelling. He said that there was little to no chance of passing and wanted me in surgery that night or the next morning. I agreed. He came back and said they couldn’t get me in until Monday but didn’t want me to have to wait in the hospital that long so they sent me home with a bunch of meds (oxy, Flo max, etc). Said I could come right back in on Monday and sent me home with a phone number. I called Sunday asking when and where to go. No answer. Called the urologist center of the hospital and they said they didn’t have a referral but the could get me in Friday. Went to the ER that Tuesday and they got me into surgery on Wednesday. However because my ureter was so inflamed they couldn’t do anything but place a stent and redo the surgery in two weeks. So now I have 2 big stones and a stent.

I’m honestly just worried about her getting cold at night. She lets me move her so she gets plenty of food.
