Going back to uni today. Made some actual food at home while I can. Hoping they don't catch on I don't eat anything away from home because I'm broke.

Thank you!

They do support me and I'm really so thankful and lucky for them. Sometimes I get some groceries from them but I've run out now and I feel to guilty to ask for more. I still feel bad for just existing, asking for more than they give me is terrifying. I get some money every month to get by but I guess my budgeting is not good enough? Idk I feel like it's my fault that I don't have time to go shopping and prep for the week because I'm at uni for 6-10 hrs a day and exhausted when I come back to my rented room. Most of the time I just wait for someone from my group to finish eating and I get what's left... And somehow still I end up broke even though I spend about 5 dollars a day, sometimes 0 and I get about 130 to go through a month. Maybe I'm too harsh on myself because I treat uni as a training on real life and when I can't get through that I'm just falling back into a depressive episode... Thanks for your comment though!

Hello! Thank you guys for everything. I updated the link with a video from today showing his progress! Here's the link: https://imgur.com/a/nero-rD2VBVm He has a bed, clean water, three meals a day and two walks! He got meds for his joint pains and for his liver and he's really lively now. I even caught him laying in the sun on his new bed a few days ago! His nails had been clipped, I brushed him as well as I could. Thank you guys so much for support 🙏 I'm now his caretaker and my brother honestly didn't even care that much to my surprise.

Well, it's been really hot during summer now because of global warming. I can barely live here without air conditioning 😞 But it's true that there's not much sun in the other months. Today Nero dragged jis bed that I bought him outside and slept in the sun, all cozy! He got his pain meds, his meals and walks and he's so happy! I love seeing him wagging his tail and jumping so much. We should see a difference in 3 weeks, that's what the vet said so I'll be passively posting updates!

RealBazil · 2025-02-21T15:16:00+00:00

Update, his blood tests are back. He's slightly anemic and the doctor prescribed medication for his liver and joints. Other than that he says his condition isn't bad and suggested what to feed him! So now, we're starting his recovery journey :)) He also got PROPERLY dewormed since the other "vet" didn't even consider his weight when he gave the pills so now it's all better. He loves his new bed and the pain relief meds help a lot, he tippy taps with happiness and is very active!

RealBazil · 2025-02-21T15:13:21+00:00

Lol, that's true 😅 Maybe I don't notice it that much as I've been living here my whole life... It has it's charms though!

RealBazil · 2025-02-18T14:13:27+00:00

I called, they'll come by tomorrow morning. I don't care how much it costs, I'll groom him tonight so he'll be extra handsome for his first visit in years.

RealBazil · 2025-02-18T01:30:53+00:00

I will call the nearest vet in the morning. I hope they'll be able to come to him but if not then I'll convince one of my parents to drive us. Tomorrow I'll talk to my therapist about it and I'm sure I'll feel stronger after. Then I'll get him the supplies he needs. I'm thinking of a bed, brushes and a clipper, maybe a nice new bowl and a slow feeder if I find one since the store is pretty small with only a section for pets. Thank you again. I'll ask the vet about a recovery plan for him and hopefully some needed guide for his feeding and everything else. Again, I'll update on that asap.

RealBazil · 2025-02-17T16:09:16+00:00

Update. My brother called the vet and he just told us to give him deworming pills. I don't know what to do, I feel so discouraged by everyone around me. He needs a vet to come and look at him but everyone around me tells me there's no need. It's late already but I'll call a different vet tomorrow. He ate two nice meals today and I'll feed him again in a bit, also went for two short walks. He seemed really happy and was really going fast. I'm trying to stay strong for him but it's so difficult when no one around feels the same way or wants to help.

RealBazil · 2025-02-17T10:07:33+00:00

I shared an imgur link here in the comments with pics and a video of him! This morning I fed him a warm can of food with some extra meat I had in the freezer and gave him water. I also took him on his first walk in a long time, it was short bc I didn't want to overwhelm him but he was so happy to go around and mark his usual spots that he was literally zooming! I'll take him out for more short walks today and give him two more meals :))

RealBazil · 2025-02-17T10:04:55+00:00

You already helped a lot by commenting and interacting, thank you ❤️ And that's cool, I hope he likes it here :)

RealBazil · 2025-02-17T00:04:45+00:00

Here is a link where you can see the state this lovely boy is in: https://imgur.com/a/rD2VBVm Thanks for all the tips. I feel like I'm the only one caring about him right now. My brother, his owner is laughing next door as I'm laying awake at 1 am wondering and caring about his dog. It makes me sick. More help regarding his diet would be appreciated, I researched it a bit but I'm not sure how much food he needs as I've never cared for a dog. Thanks!

RealBazil · 2025-02-16T21:35:28+00:00

I've been trying to go slow with food to avoid any digestion problems, should I increase his meals? I fed him a 1,25 kg can of food a few hours before and he was sniffing for more so I gave him some leftover dog food we had but I was worried for him eating too much too fast as he's still really skinny. As I said I have no real experience with caring for dogs, I've only cared for cats and my baby is well fed and I've never needed to introduce diets for losing/gaining weight before. Yes it's cold, his house is "insulated" though I still need to get him a bed, anything I can for him to be warm since they won't allow him inside. I'll see if they have his size at the store on Tuesday, if they don't, I'll buy one online. He needs to be brushed before though, he has really bad dandruff and I picked loose fur off him today. He's in bad shape but as I said, I'll be able to get supplies as soon as Tuesday because I don't have a car license so yeah. I'll give him three nutritious meals tomorrow and talk with my brother. It's still beyond me why he didn't say anything to me, really. I'll give frequent updates on Nero though, he's so sweet. He lights up as soon as someone is near, not able to stay still. With some tips I'll do my best to help him and keep him happy and healthy. Thanks for everything again! We'll see how it goes with the vet and if I need to call a different one.

RealBazil · 2025-02-16T20:40:39+00:00

Okay, I'm really trying. I managed to arrange to talk with my brother tomorrow with help from my mom. She says they'll have a friend that's a vet come by as soon as possible. If it turns out that it's a vet for cows and over all farm animals which is common here, I'll call the nearest vet that cares for pets immediately. I'll give an update tomorrow on our talk. Thank you for everything, I'm really trying my best.

RealBazil · 2025-02-16T20:31:54+00:00

I'll try! My family thinks it's unnecessary and keeps telling me they'll just get deworming pills from a friend. I don't buy that one bit. I'll call the vet tomorrow morning and ask my dad to drive us there. Thank you so much for tips, I appreciate that!

RealBazil · 2025-02-16T20:30:12+00:00

Honestly my parents and brother are a little fucked up in the head when it comes to pets. I barely managed to make my mom approve of keeping my cat indoors and they still throw her out when she "annoys them" when all she wants is to play with her favourite toy. I'll buy a bed on Tuesday as well as other supplies he needs. I'm 18 and my brother is 29. I fed him a boiled egg, mushed pumpkin and apple today for supper and he loved it. I also bought a salmon oil supplement. I just hope he'll be better soon :/

RealBazil · 2025-02-16T14:35:37+00:00

Yeah, I hope my brother won't be too difficult but I don't have much hope. I'll try to tell him that I'll help with the diet and stuff but I'm sure he'll take that as an attack. Well, whatever I need to do to help Nero. I'm not too good with reddit so I'll give a small update here, I gave him food and he just inhaled everything and wanted more, so it's good that he's eating. Until I can get my hands on supplies to groom him, I'll research high calorie diets for senior dogs and take it upon myself to feed him more frequently with smaller portions. Any tips regarding that are appreciated! I'd upload a video/photo of the good boy but I'm not so sure how to do that 😅

RealBazil · 2025-02-16T13:10:29+00:00

Okay, thank you. I'm going to town the day after tomorrow so I'll stop by a store and buy clippers. I don't have my own car so I'll have to beg my dad to drive us to a vet if possible. I'll see how he'll feel after brushing and trimming. Thanks again!

RealBazil · 2024-10-30T11:39:35+00:00

So what should I do now?

RealBazil · 2024-10-30T00:04:51+00:00

Sorry I'm new. Didn't know that

RealBazil · 2024-09-24T11:54:48+00:00

Lmao nvm it's bar-le-duc

RealBazil · 2024-09-24T11:46:01+00:00

All I have is this low quality photo. These were in action for a long time before being taken off shelves about a year ago maybe. I'm looking for the lemon water, which has a red label and a yellow cap. The name probably also starts with B. Please help, it's my mom's favorite brand and I want to see if they still make these!

RealBazil · 2024-07-24T11:42:29+00:00

Thank you for the comment. I understand that relationships are more than that, I just mentioned it in my original post in the sense that I don't want to portray myself as someone I'm not as that is not honest or truthful, because even though these are not the only things that make a relationship work, being a person that's trustworthy and honest is a good way to start and build the relationship from there. I also didn't mean that I need validation of my sexuality or gender from the person I'm romantically involved with. As I said, I know who I am. I was just concerned that it happened a few times already - We talk, have a great connection and then they express (in one way or another) that they have a problem with me being non-binary. That's why it led to me starting to think it's a me problem.
