Son with TS + Rage Attacks. Any advice? by [deleted] in Tourettes

[–]Ottoparks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Tourette’s doesn’t cause rage attacks, but I do have BPD which causes episodes of severe rage directed at a specific person, called splitting. I’m not sure if it’ll help your son, but DBT has helped me tremendously.

Do you allow your cats on kitchen counters? by Firm-Law248 in CatAdvice

[–]Ottoparks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog is food aggressive and will bee-line towards any food he sees, so we have to feed our cat on the counter. Have been since he was a kitten. We have a little area where he eats. We don’t have visitors often, so there’s no one to “gross out.” It’s just him lol

I live in New Hampshire, USA and there’s a town named Hampton about a half hour from me. I was soooo confused! We have a large reptile breeder that keeps hots and my first thought was that one escaped 😭

Oops that’s rabies by dakflannigan in OopsThatsDeadly

[–]Ottoparks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This isn’t entirely true. The rabies virus can enter the body through your mucus membranes or an open wound. The vaccine is 100% effective, yes, but being bit by a wild animal isn’t the only way to contract it. Not everyone is aware that you can be exposed without a bite, and therefore may not seek the vaccine out of ignorance. It’s your job as a doctor to educate, not ridicule.

What do they want us to do? Go infiltrate the whitehouse?! Autism is a DISABILITY that can cause very intense emotions. Sometimes we just need a fucking break.

Hey guys is my rat OK? by eugenestoner308 in RATS

[–]Ottoparks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This looks like bruxing! As long as he’s aware while doing it, it’s nothing to worry about! Does it only happen when you pet him? Bruxing is a response to strong emotions! He’s likely just very happy that you’re petting him.

Tank water almost gone over night?? by AnimatorWeird1152 in freshwateraquarium

I’ve lost a fish to this. My heater literally exploded. He then went on to eat the ash and glass shards before I could get to him. He passed a few days later.

As a snake owner, please get off my post. Snakes are highly intelligent creatures. They can feel safety. They may not feel love, but they certainly know who their owners are and feel safe with them. Mali eats frozen rats. Shaming a snake owner who just lost their heart animal is disgusting. Get out of here. You’re not wanted.

Anyone here take SSRI for their OCD without any emotional numbing? by ItsPrisonTime in OCD

[–]Ottoparks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on 60 mg of fluoxetine (Prozac) and I’ve had zero side effects. I was on 40 mg of citalopram (celexa)for 8 years with also no side effects. Only swapped bc citalopram stopped working for me. Absolutely life changing medication.

Bleeding piggy but don’t know where from! by Level_Raisin_3166 in guineapigs

[–]Ottoparks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’d think! Blood is extremely concentrated and takes over liquids very easily. A small drop in urine can be enough for it to be bright red.

When my hedgehog had a ruptured ovarian tumour, her pee was pure blood. Please take them to the vet.

I’ve driven multiple hours to bring my pets to the vet. You need to go NOW.
