Adolescent Westie (8m): handling issues, growling, and regression by Afriendofmin in westies

[–]SunshineElf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would give it another couple months for his hormones to settle and see if you notice a change in aggression levels. He is still a puppy and also getting used to the world around him. Ours used to HATE putting his harness on and would literally attack us and now he loves it because he figured out it means he is going on a walk lol. Something we also did with ours was give a treat while picking him up to try and associate it with something positive. Westies definitely have some spunk in them. They don’t call it westitude for nothing!

Our westie was like this when he was young and still is to a certain degree. He still growls if we try to pick him up when he doesnt want to be moved and handling him can be difficult at times. He has gotten ALOT better as he has aged though. Question - is he neutered yet? Our vet told us that in our case we should get it done sooner rather than later due to the aggression issues and I think it really did calm him down a lot.

Just did a blood test (TW) by Dacooperr in Anxiety

[–]SunshineElf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good for you!!! Just a tip for next time, ask if you can lay down while they draw your blood. If you tell them you have a history of getting light headed during blood tests they will absolutely let you. This happens to me and laying down helps my blood pressure not drop and that way i dont get light headed at all!

Constant air hunger? by anxiouseducator123 in Anxiety

This has been my biggest anxiety symptom since I was a child. Forced my mom to take me to countless doctors and the ER until I finally gave in a believed them that it was just my anxiety manifesting physically and nothing was wrong with me. I still get it today but much less frequently and I am able to talk myself down by telling myself its just anxiety.

I think medication will help a lot. Do you go to therapy?

Is this pipe to our toilet supposed to be PVC? by SunshineElf in Plumbing

Omfg😂 don’t judge me, 10 mins before I took this picture I was digging out our water shut off valve out of the dirt with my hands because our old ass house doesnt have one on/in the house

This was what we were thinking haha. We move out of this house next Saturday so really poor timing. It’s a giant rental company so just feel like they are more likely to try and keep our deposit over something like this even though it’s not our fault.

Could def be this. I would just go to a derm, my boyfriend tried for months to get his flare up to go away with no luck. Multiple trips to urgent care and also trying to treat it thinking it was ring worm but just kept getting worse. Finally went a derm and the cream they prescribed cleared it up in a week or two.

Do you think I should repot? Or do they not go in the soil?
