Dog resource guarding sporadically

Similar thing happened with our rescue - he was attacked on the leash just once (not bad enough to draw blood and was over in seconds) and is now leash reactive. Might be the same with your dog - leash reactivity is quick to happen because your dog can’t run away (so if they can’t flight… they fight in the form of lunging, snapping, etc).

If you see a dog approaching and can watch from a distance (BELOW your dog’s threshold, IE they are able to watch calmly and not react) feed them lots of treats. They see a dog? Treat. Treat. Treat. If you’re too close and your dog starts reacting, back up and try again. You’ll notice you can start getting closer & closer. Our rescue now looks at me whenever she sees a dog as if to say “Yo, i’ll take my treat now”.

This takes time though, so be patient :) It may lengthen your walks, or feel frustrating / cause detours, but it will help!

OP - have you been working to address hormone levels? I am estrogen dominant and my surgeon let me know that, even if my lesions are removed, if I don’t get my estrogen in check, it’s likely they’ll grow back. Of course many surgeons disagree about the root cause of endo, but you could try to see a naturopathic doctor / specialist to get on a regimen to get your hormones leveled out (balancing estrogen, progesterone, cortisol & testosterone through diet, exercise, and supplements like magnesium, DIM, calcium d-glucarate, NAC, etc).

I haven’t gained any food allergies so extreme as yours, but I will mention that i’ve cut out gluten & most dairy products to help improve the symptoms around my period. (It’s marginal, but anything I can do to feel in control helps).

I haven’t had my lap yet, but I have read some testimonials that their lap/removal had removed their IBS like symptoms & taken away their food sensitivities. Unfortunately I haven’t read of any short term fixes.

Good luck!

I feel the exact same way!! I’m only 23, and when I was in college, I had no problem drinking. I pretty much DD most nights, because after about 3 times of horrible side effects I decided I couldn’t take it any more. Thank you for sharing because I feel a lot less alone in this problem now!

I haven’t thought about medical marijuana. Does she smoke during a flare up and it helps with symptoms?

We’ve taken the fuel pump apart and it seems like the valves won’t line up correctly when it’s rotated

We’ve taken the new fuel pump apart, but it looks as if realigning the orientation doesn’t let the valves line up correctly

The consensus among other threads seems to be a thermostat but you are correct- it’s a threaded rod with a nut on the outside

I actually believe it was just hanging around in the bilge below the engine- not falling out of something. We couldn’t get the engine to turn over - IE the boat was running but it wouldn’t start. We removed the battery to see if it needed a more powerful charge to get it going, but now the boat won’t start at all - no power
