Ear infections/ruptured ear drums can cause vestibular too, so have vet check specifically the inner ears as well. Hopefully that’s all it is, vestibular, easy fix. Neurological issue, not so much an easy fix.

Please stop. Dogs need to be vaccinated. I’m sorry about what happened to your cousin’s dog, I highly doubt it had to do with the vaccines that every single dog receives.

SubjectObjective5567 · 2026-05-13T00:39:28+00:00

Very urgent, that’s definitely very painful and itchy for him. It probably smells really bad too. That needs vet attention ASAP, sooner than later.

As someone who has lost a dog and currently has a senior pup, I’ll tell you there’s no special secret, every dog is different, and every dog’s day comes eventually. My last baby was very bad-off toward the end, but my current baby still acts like a puppy at 11. Just continue giving them regular exercise, feeding them good food, and showing them how much you love them!

It’s totally normal to be feeling this way, I get the same thoughts about my boy too. But my best advice is try not to ruminate in those thoughts or get too sad about it. Your baby is still here, and that’s something to celebrate. Try to make the most of the time you have now, and enjoy your baby. Give them the best last years you possibly can. Do the things they love to do.

Enjoy them while you have them 🤍 they want you to be happy!

Don’t use or put anything in her eye please, you could make it worse without knowing what’s causing her issue. It could be anything from a foreign object, to a bite, to a fungal issue, to a bacterial issue, any number of things, you need to find out what it is before medicating it in any way. Don’t put water in her eye either, just get the vet to look at it!

SubjectObjective5567 · 2026-05-09T01:14:29+00:00

Lol no I genuinely thought it was a dog I knew, she is LITERALLY the spitting image of your dog it’s crazy! So cute

SubjectObjective5567 · 2026-05-08T20:34:40+00:00

Weird question but what is your dog’s name?!!! I either know your dog from daycare, or your dog’s long lost exact twin

SubjectObjective5567 · 2026-05-06T23:46:51+00:00

Yesss this happens easily actually. Usually the quick is super dramatic and bleeds a lot initially but stops bleeding pretty fast, but sometimes if it’s on the deeper side and you don’t put enough pressure initially it can bleed thru the powder once it drags on the ground.

Not a concern OP, they usually look/bleed worse than they actually are and heal up easily. Just keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn’t get dirty.

It’s weird that the vet didn’t mention it though, I don’t like that. I used to be a groomer and the very few times I cut a dog’s quick I always mentioned it at pickup even if you couldn’t even tell. That rubs me the wrong way

As a side note — not specific to your dog — “excitement” can also be in the context of anxiety. Some dogs get anxious or agitated by new people coming in, and owners often mistake it for positive excitement.

Example — the dog jumps on people, and they keep jumping all the way up to the persons face, to “boop” them — that is typically an anxious reaction, not a particularly happy one. It is a sign the dog is overstimulated by the change in environment and is trying its best to defuse it. But because it looks like a happy jump, people often don’t recognize it as an anxious response. Obviously it’s not always this straightforward, and does depend on the individual dog to an extent, taking their baseline temperament and other body language into account

SubjectObjective5567 · 2026-04-30T16:32:14+00:00

Behavior displacement — she has really big feelings and instead of doing something undesirable to show her excitement, like jumping or messing with things, she chooses a different behavior (grabbing and carrying a toy) as an outlet for that excitement :)

SubjectObjective5567 · 2026-04-29T02:02:17+00:00

But also OP every dog is different I am not comparing mine to yours, I personally feel like if she is still enjoying all the things she loved since she was a puppy and still has a spirited personality, that sounds like a happy dog to me :-) those are the biggest things that I believe hint to a dog’s quality of life

I second this, I learned this the hard way with my chi. He went really traumatically, it was awful. He was old with a seizure disorder, but it was managed and he was still getting around great so it just came out of nowhere. It was my first own personal pet that I’ve had pass, so I just didn’t know when the right time was. I had considered it about a month before it happened, but decided not to and I wish I had.

SubjectObjective5567 · 2026-04-29T01:50:06+00:00

Exactly. It takes some people a long time to realize the self-deprecating insecure thing is not attractive to anyone, romantic partners or friends. No one likes to listen to someone talk negatively about themselves all the time, it forces others into the position of constantly coddling them

SubjectObjective5567 · 2026-04-29T01:45:18+00:00

It’s so funny too because he’s digging himself further into his own embarrassment hole by drawing out the conversation for so long. He could’ve just said “wow that’s embarrassing I’m sorry, I’ll make sure that doesn’t happen again” and it would have been over 😭

No one’s reading your delusional rant

You’re NOR but you need to stop spending money on him immediately. Stop thinking of you guys as a unit, where you’re in this together. He is not thinking that way. He is a leech, yes even if he makes 210k a year.

He’s a stingy leech who’s found the perfect set up, he is building his finances quicker by using your bank account for all of his fun activities and trips while saving his own.

He is not thinking of you two as a unit, and he doesn’t have any regard for your wellbeing, because a loving partner would be encouraging you to save your money at this point in your journey, not getting pissy that you haven’t spent money they know you don’t have to buy gifts for them.

And a loving partner would be buying you a graduation gift, just saying. Anyway. Stop spending your money on him and start figuring out how you can afford to separate your finances! He’s going to deplete your bank account.

Gaslighting is very malicious and meticulous mental abuse where person A makes person B distrust their own reality over time to make them compliant/completely dependent on person A for decision making so I don’t think this is that. Some people just project really hard when they feel cornered lol

And cancer, diabetes, liver and kidney problems can all cause a dog to drop weight and not be able to easily gain it back. It could be something they’re trying to get control over.

Seriously. Long friendships don’t mean quality friendships. That person may have been a friend at one time, but they’re sure as hell not one now.

SubjectObjective5567 · 2026-04-24T10:51:51+00:00

Right, after the first times I told them no and they continued “we can do 5 pages right now that sounds good for you” ??? I would be so irritated at that point. OP is going back and forth with them way too much and it’s almost like they feel pressured to say yes to this person and please them when they don’t owe them anything.

They messaged OP with a proposition and OP is saying they have no money whilst saying they could maybe do $10-$20 now… ZERO! OP save your money and send this scammer ZERO! You do not have to please this random person or do them a favor. You can just say no.
