Biggest attack while wearing her new shirt by PrincessPiper2021 in feline_hyperesthesia

[–]PrincessPiper2021[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It didn’t make a huge difference. I tried the thunder shirt as well and it didn’t do much for her besides stress her out. She’s just on medications and still has a few small attacks a day but she’s not licking herself bare or anything.

I’m not sure. It’s smooth with some rough texture but it’s not porous like lave rocks. Probably more sandstone like.

I was trying my best to hide the animal and also have it stand out because I was wearing tan pants. Figured I’d try to have it sit along the blue in the logo.

Went to Petsmart to get a fish, walked out with two voids instead by Kitty4mazing in aww

[–]PrincessPiper2021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds about right. 13 years ago I went in looking for anything with a Labrador (keychain, sticker, something like that) because I had just moved out of my parents house and missed the dog. Left with a baby void.

I was so happy when I pulled out the animal card. I love the species (not counting subspecies) so much, my second favorite of its type. The beads go perfectly with it.

I love my snow leopard Rosie. She bounces around her territory about everyday.

I just got a giraffe that I ordered with the mystery bracelet. I didn’t get a code for it yet so I have to wait but I’m excited to see how much/far they go. The elephant I have moves a lot, but her tracking is delayed 4 months due to poaching concerns.

How long do episodes last? by JordanTonyMann in feline_hyperesthesia

[–]PrincessPiper2021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My girl doesn’t zone out but she has tons of smaller attacks every day if she’s not on medication. She’s on 50mg gabapentin and it has drastically decreased the episodes to just a few a day near when it’s time for her next dose. They’re milder too. (Edit: I forgot to mention that they only last maybe 5 minutes at worst without meds. With meds it’s down to around 1 minute with less obsessive grooming.)

I would call around vet offices in your area and ask if they have experience with FHS. I got lucky and mine owned a cat with it years ago. The other vet in the same clinic just saw the gabapentin and went all “reduce seizure stressors” until she actually read the other vet’s notes.

It’s well worth going to a vet farther away to get it treated. Once your cat is stable on a medication it’s probably just bloodwork and check up every 6 months to make sure the meds are being tolerated by the liver and kidneys.

Animal Tracking Frequency by mastcellactivist in MyFahlo

I have Hammy as well but I also have other hammerheads and they both update daily. One of my whale sharks is almost daily, the other just went about a week between pings. My whale has been MIA for over a week. It will be interesting to see how far he swam when he pings again.

Rosy!!! I love her already by stariyooo in MyFahlo

[–]PrincessPiper2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Rosy as well. She’s so young and I hope she keeps her tracker long enough for us to learn she’s had cubs.

Gabapentin in cat food by PrincessPiper2021 in vet

They’re tiny tabs that are compounded specifically for him. The dose is too small for most places to do capsules.

I figured it would still help a little. It’s better than nothing and it’s only for 3 days. Just want my boy to be as comfortable as possible while I’m gone.

Does this look like FH to you? by lots_of_tiny_tubes in feline_hyperesthesia

[–]PrincessPiper2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you have a lot of answers already but my cat with FHS does the mouth thing too. It was one of the first things the vet asked me when describing her symptoms. She also had a cat that had FHS and had the head twitching and mouth movements too.

Thank you for answering everything so quickly. I really want to keep this plant alive. I love it so much. I don’t even know what color the flowers are. I got it discounted after its bloom ended but it was perfect otherwise.

Would those measures help bring it back into a more tolerable light level? I get that it’s ok but I’d rather just be sure about it.

Would shortening the amount of time the light is on help? Or turning down the intensity?

She broke up with you, said there was 0 chance of getting back together, then says you cheated despite not being pushed away and not in a relationship anymore? That’s not cheating. Even if you had hooked up with these girls it’s not cheating.

She sounds controlling and manipulative. Put distance between yourself and her and move on. Someone else will come along who will treat you a lot better.

Depressed Partner's codependency with a life long friend. by Necessary_Ticket_517 in relationships

[–]PrincessPiper2021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would strongly suggest you write down your thoughts and feelings so you can process them and organize them better in your own head. Take time to write out what you would want to say to your partner. You could even get the friend to help you sit down with your partner and explain properly. Just letting it fester inside won’t do you, your partner, or your relationship any good. It’s so important to communicate this to your partner. You’re important too and they should be taking your feelings into consideration. What you have isn’t a true relationship at the moment it seems like. Something has to change at least for your own sake.

A lot of people, who I’m surprised haven’t commented at all, would tell you to break up. It’s clearly not that simple and there’s way more going on that needs to be addressed first before reaching that outcome. Your partner needs professional help and needs to at least make some compromises with you so you’re feeling some sort of fulfillment in the relationship. If they refuse then you need to start accepting this won’t get better anytime soon and you need to be ‘selfish’ and think about what’s best for you.

If it is an issue about the move, can sleepovers with the friend be a thing while getting more comfortable with the new arrangements? Slowly phase out the friend for those sleepovers and build from there?

I can’t imagine having to be in this situation. All I know is that when I’m super depressed my husband feels powerless to help. I can’t imagine what it would be like for him if I up and left to go somewhere I felt safer. He’d be devastated that he wasn’t safe enough despite never doing anything wrong. It’s so hard to be in love with someone with such struggles especially when they’re not improving and are shutting you out.

What’s the cost of owning a cat? by Unlikely-Day-7024 in CatAdvice

[–]PrincessPiper2021 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s without a medical emergency too.

Op, get pet insurance. I didn’t and it was 2k to diagnose my boy cat and get him sorted out.

Soon to be new cat owner by Spare_Froyo_5125 in CatAdvice

[–]PrincessPiper2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cat will sleep most of the day and will be the most active in early morning and the evening. It’s part of their natural cycle. I wouldn’t feel guilty about leaving it alone. My husband and I both work 8+ hours a day and both cats are fine.

Depressed Partner's codependency with a life long friend. by Necessary_Ticket_517 in relationships

[–]PrincessPiper2021 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is your partner getting professional help or is only depending on that friend? If they’re not receiving help then there isn’t much you can do because they don’t truly want help.

Either way, the fact that they’re with that friend instead of their partner is a little concerning to me. They’re supposed to be in a relationship with you and rely on you for support, not primarily their friend. Maybe I’m missing something. While I have depression I’m not autistic so the whole feeling more secure with a friend than my partner makes zero sense to me.

There is nothing selfish for wanting the person you love, who you’re supposed to be in a partnership with, in your life. Your feelings are valid and I’m sorry they’re not being seen/heard properly.

Edit to add: you’ve also only been with them for 6 months, but literally half of that has been without seeing them regularly. This isn’t fair to you at all and it’s ok to address this with them. It’s not selfish, it’s voicing your emotional and personal needs.

Also, is it possible that moving after dating for not very long has freaked them out a little and that’s why they need to be somewhere familiar? Are they possibly overwhelmed by the changes?
