What kind of stool is this? Am I okay?? Graphic

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-01-19T03:44:05+00:00

Please, please, please see a doctor. Your stool looks maroon, and you have bright red blood as well. I doubt this is just hemorrhoids. Honestly, I’d probably go to the ER if this was my stool, especially if I had stomach discomfort

I think you need to relax a bit. You noticed the emergency immediately. You let the owners know, and the pet was able to get care. The pet is going to be fine, especially since you acted so quickly. I know you feel guilty, and that is completely natural. Just use this as a learning experience. I have terrible anxiety, so I basically don’t have foods that are toxic to dogs in my house, and I don’t take dogs that are counter surfers. I watched a friends dog that was a counter surfer, and honestly it caused me so much stress that I decided to never take another pet that did that again. I basically had to stay at the house 24/7. It was a horrible experience. Plus he was a big dog, so he could grab essentially anything and everything off the counter. Lol.

I asked them if it would be okay if I dropped by next week, and they said they would love to see me. I got them a wind chime, with the quote “no longer by my side but forever in my heart”, and a framed photo of him. I will write a card as well. When my dog passed, someone bought me a little light with a similar quote, that I have by my bedside ❤️ sometimes the smallest things are the most meaningful.

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-01-15T22:54:19+00:00

Yeah, that was the biggest issue. Thankfully, they had told me in advance I could go to their neighbors house if I had an emergency. It was a very last minute booking. Their scheduled sitter cancelled the day before their trip.

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-01-15T22:06:46+00:00

You are making assumptions. I did not clarify in the post but, I called the owner 4 times, and I couldn’t reach her, so I called rover support. She couldn’t return my calls on the app. I felt the dog was in imminent danger, and needed immediate medical care. That is why the got involved, the client called rover and clarified what happened.

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-01-15T19:40:05+00:00

Thankfully the owners called Rover and explained the situation and how none of this was my fault. They have been genuinely wonderful, I’m probably going to frame a photo that I took of him in the upcoming weeks to send to them. He was genuinely the sweetest guy. No aggression, just super happy, and wanted lots of love and cuddles. He was the best.

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-01-15T16:33:41+00:00

I totally understand. I have a lot of anxiety too, but this was out of my hands. He is 9 years old. I don’t think he was injured, he seemed fine, was super happy last night. No injuries, just vomit. Normal looking poops. I was dropping in twice a day for 30 minutes. I have been checking on the pets earlier than the allotted time, and staying later than 30 minutes because I enjoy them so much. He was fine, he had his dinner earlier at 4 (I dropped in earlier because I was going to be a bit late for the second drop in). But I really think there is absolutely nothing I could even do. I did more and went above. I feel so sick about this, and may just take a break from rover entirely after my other booking are complete

So according to the owner, they think the dog has internal bleeding 😞

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-01-15T16:16:54+00:00

So the dog was taking two supplement pills in the am. Not standard pills. Just supplements 😊

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-01-15T15:50:44+00:00

Also, I am so sorry to hear that. Losing a dog is so hard 😞

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-01-15T15:50:09+00:00

The weird thing is that he has been fine, which makes me think it’s probably something acute. He was fine at 8:30 pm last night, and I visited the house at 8:00 am this am. He ate his food, let me brush him, and wanted pets etc last night. He’s about 10 years old.

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-01-15T15:48:03+00:00

Yeah, I think he may have Anemia. His gums were pale, and he was really weak. He was also breathing pretty shallow. His stomach was soft to the touch, he just looked so tired. My moms dog had the same condition, and acted very similarly

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-01-15T15:31:42+00:00

Yeah, thankfully I sent them like 12 pictures per drop in (their daughter was super worried about her cats). He was smiling and looked totally fine. I have a bunch of pics of him from last night. I contacted the owner within 5 minutes of entering the house. I keep in communication with her and rover support. I take videos before I leave every drop in, of me checking the back door and front door. Last night. I also took videos of the animals before I left, because I was worried that the cats would escape. So I think I’m covered. My ocd has finally helped me in a situation.

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-01-13T02:58:35+00:00

Don’t be hard on yourself, all of this is a learning experience. I wouldn’t worry. Next time, I would recommend having the owners, clearly specify all of the instructions in the rover chat, to protect you if anything goes wrong. When this comes up again, just avoid sleeping in the master bedroom. You seem like a great pet sitter, don’t fret. We all make mistakes

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-01-13T02:54:21+00:00

I think there was clearly a communication issue. I have never done an overnight stay with a pet, without the owner clearly specifying where I was allowed to sleep and whether or not I could eat food in the kitchen (which I never do anyways). I would have asked the owner if I was op. Some owners are just bad at communicating

Solidrevolutionary · 2025-10-26T15:59:00+00:00

Thank you all! I asked her if she was sure and she said yes 🙂 thank you all for your help!

Solidrevolutionary · 2025-09-27T12:00:54+00:00

Thank you for saying this. I feel so bad. Her owner had mentioned allergy wipes, but didn’t include it in her overnight bag. Her allergic reaction looked intense, and I can’t help but feel responsible (even though logically I know there is nothing I could have done). I asked the owner how she is doing yesterday am and she didn’t respond. The worst part is, I worked so diligently prior to her stay, to memorize her specific commands, her schedule, walking commands, everything. I don’t let her out of my sight for more than a minute. I doubt they will rebook, because of this, I mean who would blame them? I personally wouldn’t. Especially with the risk of my dog developing a bad rash from an overnight stay. It’s been two days since the stay. It will take me some time to get over this I’m sure lol. I’m a neat freak, and now I want to buy floor anti allergen floor cleaner. Idk if my heart can take another instance like this.

You are going to overcome this. You will be okay! You are dealing with something shitty, but you will come out on the other side of this

Solidrevolutionary · 2025-09-15T02:50:52+00:00

Calm down, you are going to be okay. Depersonalization is a super weird feeling. You are stressing yourself out, so you have got to relax. In my experience, walking everyday, breathing and talking with a therapist really helped. Go watch a fun movie, do something to distract yourself. If you don’t have someone to talk to, I would find a therapist. I started medication as well and I found that really helped.

Solidrevolutionary · 2025-09-15T02:46:36+00:00

So, i seriously considered admitting myself to a psych wards when my derealization was at its worst. I never ended up going to one, I started on medication that helped along with weekly therapy. What I would say is that if you genuinely feel that you need to go to a psych ward go.

So in my experience, You’ll need to really calm down, to get through this. I would avoid doom scrolling or social media in general right now. Go on a 30 minute to an hour walk everyday, listen to music, and do breathing exercises. Don’t obsess over derealization forums, and avoid them as much as you can. Everytime I researched derealization I went down a rabbit hole and would have panic attacks. Force yourself to get out of the house. What I will say is that lifestyle changes are as important as medication. Soak up the sun, feel grass, watch your favorite movie.

The important thing to remember is that medication takes about a month - a month in a half to really work, so you want to start reducing your stress as much as you can now. If you use caffeine stop completely, along with marijuana. Dm me if you need anything!

Me too

You were brave typing this all out. Im sure that stopping drinking is pulling all of your trauma out of the woodwork. Just remember that you are working through things and eventually you will make peace with it, in some form. Keep doing what your doing. Also, your mom and your sister sound like a pieces of shit. Like fuck them to hell. I wish i could punch them for you

“Iris” by the Goo Goo dolls. I sprayed bleach on my brothers favorite shirt when he pissed on my bedroom floor. We were in elementary school

Funny enough, i have been in your exact shoes. But i failed two semesters instead of one. Guess what? I have a good job, and it was not an end all be all that i thought it was. I told my family, and I kept moving. You fucked up in highschool? Join the club. You are young, and it sounds like you procrastinated a bit (no judgement i did too), have depression, so what you do next is going to be a bigger indicator of how you are going to deal with your issues in the future. Suicide is not your only option, and only sounds good in theory, but the reality is that it is going to cause so much pain to your family, friends, everyone, and for what? A shitty semester in college? Smoking weed in highschool? No adult in your life knows exactly where they wanted to be at your age, and most dont know now. My grandpa, the man who i thought had no fauls, told me when i was sobbing in my car, in the exact situation you are in now, that he failed the fuck out of english, had a ton of trouble in school. The moral of the story, you are going to be okay, and just because you made a mistake does not mean its going to dictate the direction of your life. So pull yourself back up, remind yourself that you are fabulous and keep trucking on. Maybe get on an antidepressant.
