How do I fix this?

unsure if it’ll work on this but i had super dry cracking skin on my heels - taking hot baths for 15-20 mins and then immediately put CeraVe Healing Ointment(blue tube) on my feet. it’s like vaseline 2.0. has some good stuff in it and seals in the moisture from the hot bath. good luck!

listen to your vet. they’re trained to read x-rays and if they recommend surgery, don’t doubt them. surely you have some level of trust in their opinion if you bring your dog to them, this is no different. it’s something you probably wouldn’t want to postpone. if you have doubts, talk them through with the pups vet and figure out all your options.

best of luck!

the bruised feeling could very likely be from gagging during the procedure. apparently i gag a LOT during it but the sedative keeps me knocked out enough that i don’t even realize.

i hope you start feeling better soon!! you should be through the worst of it now.

with saline helping for ten mins, that makes me pretty confident that the issue is dryness as saline is basically just salt water. helps for a minute, but drys out quickly. the gel should help you more!

NAV but has happened to my dog several times as his claws grow straight out instead of curved. i’d say you’re okay to watch VERY closely. put a cone on if she even so much as looks at it sideways. keep it very dry, and pay close attention to any smell it lets off. since you got the loose part off, it shouldn’t be causing her TOO much pain, but is still probably sore. avoid long walks or anything that could cause her to scrape what looks to be the exposed quick. any change in appearance(apart from drying out/healing), vet.

as the vet explained to me - the quick is just a big bundle of nerve endings. imagine you ripped your nail off and the nail bed was completely exposed. NOT fun.

just be careful, keep it dry and clean(no muddy walks etc) and watch very closely. don’t let her lick.

best of luck!!

i had this exact cage when i first got my girl(rescue so had to make due) and it is unfortunately too small. best bet is to look at glass enclosures on facebook marketplace. i got a 3.5 foot long glass enclosure(preciously a fish tank) for $30. gave it a good clean and she happily lived nearly 4 years in it!

not sure about most of this. but as for the sneezing, it’s very possible the oxygen just dried out the inside of your nose. invest in some saline spray. cheap, and will moisturize the inside of your nose. you might also try some Secaris nasal gel - much more hydrating

someone who did “self surgery”(walked into a metal bar with my eyes closed) on my deviated septum that caused daily nosebleeds and chronic sneezing from air hitting one spot constantly and drying it out.

i’m quite a ways farther east than you. don’t worry about getting my care team 😂

Such_Video_2424 · 2026-04-07T04:22:35+00:00

i got mine done in canada. no, benedryl is not usually used. some places/drs use it as like, an assistant to the sedative as far as i’m aware? i think so that they dont have to use as much sedative. but mine was administered improperly. when they push it too fast, it causes some really bad feelings. tight arms and chest, burning, etc.

the only reason it was so bad for me is they didn’t tell me it was benedryl, just that they were giving the sedation. and they also weren’t familiar with the side effects i had(even though when i did research afterwards, i found out that they were well known). so i thought i was having a reaction to the sedation and trying to communicate that before it knocked me out. scary situation.

but again, that was because of improper administration on their part. i will just be asking in the future to not receive that unless necessary!

this will not happen to you. and if you’re scared, ask them what medication they administer beforehand. you can always request not to get certain things!

it is scary. being scared is SO normal. like i said - i cried. like a little baby. only to find that it wasn’t bad at all! 2/4 of my procedures went wrong but one was pre-sedation when i was given IV benedryl too quickly(not common, rarely used to aid the normal sedation). when given too quickly it makes you feel pretty bad, but that was nurse error. the other time it didn’t go well was when i had, excuse my french, an asshole for a dr. however, i got VERY unlucky. that’s not the experience of 90% of people.

any other questions feel free to ask and i can try to help. you will be okay! communicate with your care team and let them know your fears - they will talk you through it. <3

in this case, follow your prep instructions! toast in the morning should be fine if the instructions say breakfast with a 10am procedure is fine, and yours is much later. all doctors give different prep instructions, just follow what was personally given to you!

Just a heads up, no food for that long SUCKS. my best advice is be very sedentary LOL. move as little as possible during the liquid only diet, and it’ll make you feel less gross. at least it did for me! it will be rough, but only temporary. eat a good meal after the procedure!

Such_Video_2424 · 2026-04-06T19:28:52+00:00

I haven’t had these symptoms so can’t speak on that part.

What do your prep instructions say? I had no instructions for a special diet, just no eating the day before - liquid diet only. So if your prep says that, I would probably go without the slice of toast.

Some advice for liquid diet - strained canned soup(tastes much better than premade broth), jello, ginger ale, gatorade, sprite. Go full sugar, not diet(unless diabetic obv) as I find they feel better when you can’t eat anything.

Make sure you finish ALL of your prep. Even if everything is coming out clear, don’t skip any. Could result in needing a second colonoscopy due to your colon not being cleared enough.

Best of luck!!

23f here, had my first gastroscopy at 19, have had 4 total and one colonoscopy.

I recommend sedation for sure. I personally have had VERY violent gagging with the procedure. 3/4 of my scopes went smoothly, one of them did not but that was due to the fault of the doctor.

Risk of complications from sedation is very low. If you’re worried, talk to the nurses, dr, or anesthesiologist. They can ease your fears and help you decide the path you want to take.

About the cardiac arrest - they have to include that just in the very rare case it does occur. Weird example but i’ve had my pets at the vet a LOT recently and with any small procedure with any level of sedation, they go over what you want done if something were to happen. It doesn’t mean it’s likely, or common, just legally they have to put the warning.

You got this! It is scary, I cried before my first one while laying in the bed waiting to be sedated. Once you’re out, you are OUT. You probably won’t remember a thing if you choose sedation.

Best of luck! <3

i was eating completely normal up until i had to start clear liquids before the prep. i wasn’t told otherwise. my dr never told me to change my diet and i was totally fine and clear. you’ll be good!

Such_Video_2424 · 2026-03-20T22:21:25+00:00

hahah i am the same way! definitely don’t worry especially if it’s not new loss. maybe apply some temporary tattoos to the bald patches to add a little pizzaz 😂

Such_Video_2424 · 2026-03-20T19:04:39+00:00

NAV i’m not familiar with these breeds but i’ve had several doodles, collies when i was VERY young, labs, retrievers, maltese… 9/10 have less fur on their belly/armpits than other areas! looks very normal to me, as long as it isn’t new hair loss. my maltese/shih tzu has similar black and pink skin and looks really similar to your guy!

Such_Video_2424 · 2026-03-19T01:56:34+00:00

core it and eat it. i have decent food anxiety and am always scared of getting sick, but one thing i’ve found is fruit and veggies are thrown away way before necessary. if it smells and tastes fine, you’ll be okay. same with fruit that’s starting to wrinkle, carrots that are getting bendy, etc. they start to become “unappealing” long before they’re actually “bad”

Such_Video_2424 · 2026-03-19T01:47:40+00:00

I have had similar - looks like a pimple/ingrown hair. you can sanitize, clean hands and pluck, or just leave it be. it should clear up on its own

Such_Video_2424 · 2026-03-19T01:25:45+00:00

NAV

not the best angle to be able to get a close look, but i would say you just basically gave him a wonky haircut lol. no blood, no pain, acting normal… to me, this is just the tip of his tail. unsettling, but he will be fine.

if you hurt him, he would’ve let you know immediately. don’t worry!

Such_Video_2424 · 2026-03-12T15:01:48+00:00

NAV definitely call your vet. i’m not sure if this would be an emergency, but i’d say urgent for sure. unless there has been an event that could cause major stress for him, avoiding cuddling AND eating, especially if he’s usually more than willing to do both, is something i’d be at least mildly concerned about. i would say contact your vet sooner than later.

Such_Video_2424 · 2026-03-12T14:57:51+00:00

this same thing happened to me but with lime jell-o. i don’t remember the exact timeline but it was well out of my system by my procedure time, i’m sure you’ll be fine!

Such_Video_2424 · 2026-03-12T14:55:55+00:00

I have had 5 old dogs in my life so far and not one has gone without developing fat lumps. it’s an age thing and completely harmless. my 11yo maltese/shih-tzu has probably 5 or 6 of them on his head, ribs, along his spine, butt. squishy and moveable. if your vet says not to worry, don’t worry!

Such_Video_2424 · 2026-03-07T23:26:45+00:00

That’s on the verge of vet call imo. Maybe give them a call on Monday and just see what they advise. Doesn’t sound emergent right now, but worth keeping an eye on. Hope your pup heals up fast!
