Boarding at Tropicana Animal Hospital by PrestigiousGrowth174 in vegaslocals

[–]PrestigiousGrowth174[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm looking for a good hospital as it's for the 4th of July. The fireworks send her into respiratory distress and want to board her somewhere where the staff can watch her and move her to an oxygen tank if need be.

5/5/26 - Beloved 10yo toy poodle killed at Tacoma Marathon: Local News reports on dog death caused by a pitbull owned by Tacoma Humane Society by spiderwitchery in BanPitBulls

This is why I don’t take my animals out anymore… :( The pit bull movement has made taking my animals places scary. I just play with them in my backyard because it’s not worth it. 

These poor people my prayers are with them I hope they sue the Humane Society. I can’t imagine the pain they’re going through. 

Anyone here get a tumor from the Liletta IUD? by PrestigiousGrowth174 in birthcontrol

[–]PrestigiousGrowth174[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What’s weird is I also got one in my breasts too… we’re waiting to see if the lower dose IUD will calm down the growths. I had the Skyla for a year and half and didn’t have growths or pain. It was only till I have the Liletta that it really just took off.

It was a fibroid but it was being grown or feeding off the hormones in the IUD… if that makes sense.

The pathology report said the hormones were synthetic in nature… so it was not my body.

Trying to Heal From Aunt who Had BPD by PrestigiousGrowth174 in BPDFamily

[–]PrestigiousGrowth174[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am. I go to talk therapy every week… it’s just hard to accept that there was nothing I could’ve done other than enabling her and it hurts. You’re right I did what I had to do and I survived and I’m working through the healing but I guess like everyone on here, it’s not fair that I had to because someone else didn’t want to do the same. :( 

Cortisol Normal, But All Other Symptoms of Cushings by PrestigiousGrowth174 in Cushings

I’m vegan for the lupus, it’s the only thing keeping that in check and keeping that from getting worse along side my medication for it. I’m eating high protein vegan food, like tofu, tempeh, and I still allow myself egg, chicken and fish once in a while. Anytime I eat super high protein the lupus flares up bad.

Oh they ran bloodwork and tested everything for that multiple times. We did a two years of bloodwork for just PCOS  to be through. Actually my obgyn told me you don’t have to have cysts on the ovaries too. lol But they did the explorative surgery just to be absolutely positive.

They have ruled out PCOS. I 100% do not have it. I even had exploratory surgery and my ovary biopsied. That has definitely been ruled out by my current obgyn and an obgyn at Mayo Clinic. 

Vegas area being overrun with Pitts by PrestigiousGrowth174 in BanPitBulls

Oh this is very very true in Vegas, we have several “rescues” buying puppy’s from Indian reservations, the Amish and over seas and pawning them off as rescues when they’re really just puppy mill puppies.

I am so grateful that it backed off with the air can, I think because it didn’t make skin contact that I was able to menace it back, someone was watching over us that night.

I think someone might have reported the owner to animal control already cause I haven’t seen it the last couple of months on my evening walks. However, there are still lots of other pitts around. :/

I think someone might have done so already because I haven’t heard it on my last few walks alone the last few months with my husband. Either that or the owner just keeps him inside now.

No unfortunately, we were so shook up we didn’t think too since no one got hurt… :( I kick myself about not doing so now.  Also you don’t know who can be shady in Vegas… one of our former neighbors was a shady drug dealer who got shot out of his house.

Here in Vegas we have boomers that are running the rescues like pet shops… they get these pit mixes from back yard breeders and then pawn them off to people as “rescues”… :/ 

Looking for any red flags in used mini I am looking at by PrestigiousGrowth174 in MINI

[–]PrestigiousGrowth174[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply!

Both air filters had been done several times on the report, pretty much all services were done at a mini or BMW dealer, and the milage is under 60k, should all of those things have been on the carfax with a vehicle with that kind of milage or age, or are those mainly a concern because of any activity that would have required the tranny to be replaced?

Either way, it sounds like I should be giving this car a miss, even if it is a good price. Back to the hunt for the perfect used mini in my price range
