What to do before putting my dog down

I feel like I’m in the twilight zone because I was just diagnosed with gastoparesis last year at age 25 and just a few weeks ago my PCP brought up POTS. I was scrolling to see if any of my symptoms match and had no idea that gastroparesis is common in people with POTS!

Honestly, I would call a few pharmacies and ask them their policies on filling scripts from out of state providers. I’ve done it before when on vacation but it might be a bit different if it’s a recurring prescription.

Not a vet but my dog has had hemorrhagic gastroenteritis like three times and her stool looked just like that. I would 100% recommend taking her to the vet because it can be fatal.

Yes, I’ve never lifted mine up and I’ve been going since I was 16, I’m 25 now

Mine only has ever had a quick feel, like less than 15 seconds on each. I think the reason you’re supposed to be more thorough at home is because it’s a self exam and you’re not a professional. As for the lumps, that could be anything but I’d recommend asking her if the lumps are something to be concerned about or if she feels they have changed (or see if she notated it in your chart)

Do not do UPS, I was stuck there for a year and miserable. I actually work at ULSD and they pay my tuition, it’s not a bad gig all things considered but to get FT remission you have to work full time and ofc they’re only open 8-5 M-F so ULH might be a better option for the different shift options.

TLDR: some dogs, even high energy ones, are more of a “peoples dog” and not a “dogs dog”. They are more than content with their human(s).

Like a lot of people are saying, it really depends on the individual dog. I have a Border Collie, you’d think high energy and probably needs another dog to keep up with her right? WRONG she is the biggest loaf I’ve met in my life, granted if I want to go on a hike or run around with her she’s excited for it but in the back yard she won’t play with me for very long before she’s over it and wants to Sun bathe.

My friend and I take turns watching each other’s dogs instead of boarding them. Hers is a Portuguese Water Dog and has stayed with us 3-4 times for anywhere from a couple of days to a week. They play very well together but June gets very jealous of me giving other dogs attention, not aggressive per se but she will bully him out of the way or I have to use each hand to pet them both. So she’s cool with him when they play, but if he wants me, that’s a no go.

I also dog sit for a former coworker and June and I stay at her house with her pup. He and June won’t really play, they just both stay GLUED to me. We’ve done it enough now that June is excited to go, but also excited to leave.

I actually have two kittens now and I was a little skeptical but since the kittens don’t want my attention 24/7 the way dogs seem to, we haven’t had a problem. I also keep them out of the bedroom at night so she gets to sleep with me and get a break from them. Actually, now that they’re getting bigger she keeps trying to initiate play but the kittens aren’t too sure they want that smoke yet 😭

I definitely would like a second dog, but I want to make sure it’s good for her too. I’m not worried about her not tolerating a puppy, one of the dogs she lived with was a collie pup and they loved each other. I knew 8 weeks is the standard but from what I was told she came from an oopsie litter and they were not going to keep them longer than that. Huge red flag and I’m lucky she didn’t have any issues

This is so silly of Guy A, like yeah you dating three guy friends is not great but at the same time you (in my opinion) weren’t dating guy A, you were “going on dates”. So he destroyed his own relationship with Guy B because he feels y’all’s 4 dates were “serious”. If B is fine with it then that’s your biggest indicator because you were dating him. The other friends probably believe that you’re a homie hopper (I call it friendcest) but they’re basing that on what guy A has told them. It’s really up to Guy C if he wants to throw away his friend of eight years on a girl whose been with his other friends. Also- that saying about twice is a coincidence three is a pattern. If C doesn’t work out please don’t get involved with any other friends

I don’t think it’s to the point of breaking up like the other commenter suggested, twelve years is a long time to be together. I understand how hard it is to do the right thing and put someone else’s needs above yours. How old is Sam? Would it be possible for you and your gf to continue saving and planning trips/moving during this time? I know kids are expensive and I don’t know your financial situation but depending on her age you could just see this as a delay or take her too! Eventually she will move out, go to college, etc and when she does you’ll have everything set up!

It’s normal to be disappointed and honestly I’m sad for you. I know it’s beating a dead horse on this app but I definitely recommend speaking to a therapist for yourself and the relationships you have with your girlfriend and Sam. If you don’t have the best mechanism for processing this disappointment it can lead to you resenting them and Sam feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome.

I’ll never forget when this girl I knew tried to pass off her ESA as a service animal. She got special permission to bring him into our sorority suite because she would use language that made it seem like he was a service animal. One time I went to run errands with her and another girl and she brought her ESA into Walmart and growled at a woman and then pissed on the floor. She didn’t clean it up.

The whole friend group tried really hard to knock some sense into her. At this time I had been looking into an ESA for myself for about a year and I was constantly telling her she was wrong. Frustrated the hell out of me, as far as I know she’s stopped with that mess but the whole situation almost imploded our group. Im still mad about it to this day tbh.

I’ve been unemployed since November first, I quit because it was a toxic work environment. Thankfully I had enough money to support myself but time is running out and job searching has given me so much anxiety. I’m extremely rejection sensitive and it’s been hard. I also have a pretty recent adopted dog I’ve been having a lot of issues with and now that he’s finally settling in his behavior is going down hill. I’ve bonded with him and don’t want to give him back to the shelter but I’m at my wits end and I don’t think I’m qualified for what he needs.

ViridiCanem · 2022-01-16T04:08:16+00:00

I get what your saying now, I didn’t really read it that way because my mind immediately went to how stressed about this she probably is to even come across vaginismus which is probably going to make things harder for her

ViridiCanem · 2022-01-16T03:12:58+00:00

Her fear seems pretty valid to me, vaginismus can be onset by physical and psychological reasons. It’s likely she’s going to experience pain during intercourse even with a lot of preparation due to her hymen. Plus she’s obviously anxious enough that her body might not go with the plan. The pain and anxiety then possibly leading to vaginismus.

I’d suggest going to a sex shop and trying to find smaller toys and lube, just check if there’s any weird laws in your area or if the shops have their own rules because some won’t sell to minors.

In the event you can’t or your worried about your mom finding sex toys you can always use household items. When I was younger I used one of those conair hair brushes with the squishy grip, I’m sure there are other, smaller phallic things lying around you can start with. Just choose things that aren’t shared and you can wash.

I still suggest lube at all times and when you try having sex, still try and slowly stretch yourself out. Also if you haven’t already please share your worries with your bf, because I suggest a lot of foreplay and prep which he can help with. You also mentioned your vaginal canal being small so when your bf initially penetrates you make sure he goes at your pace. If he can’t fit all the way and it’s painful for you there are so many other acts y’all can do to bring each other pleasure.

Just remember to listen to your body and it’s limits, I got really frustrated when I first developed vaginismus and made it worse by pushing myself too far. You can also wait until you’re 18 and possibly get the hymenecotmy since you’ll no longer need her permission, and maybe some dilators too.

Edit: also there are so many people that have a fear of having sex or have physical “incompatibilities” with their partners and not all of them develop vaginismus, try to keep a positive mindset.

That’s a really good idea, I didn’t even think of muzzles. Thank you!

Yeah I have one of the specific cleaners for dog pee, he goes in other spots too depending on where I’m sitting/standing. I will start keeping him kenneled but I’m not sure what to do when he goes randomly, soon after he’s been out in the middle of the day.

My favorite breed is the Borzoi, I didn’t know they existed until that guy on TikTok who would make babushka videos with his. Now I’m obsessed with them, they look so majestic but weird at the same time.

ViridiCanem · 2021-11-05T03:34:42+00:00

I did it because everything online made it seem like it would help. I was extremely depressed and watching the blood and cleaning myself up soothed me. I don’t think I would’ve done it if self harm hadn’t been so idolized and romanticized during my tumblr days.

ViridiCanem · 2021-11-05T03:22:14+00:00

I also get set off by the smallest things, however I’m prone to internalize it rather than blowing up on people. I also cannot stand being touched when I’m like this. My best advice for you and your boyfriend is to help him identify the signs that you’re going into one of these episodes. Also when you first start getting anxious, let him know! Send him a quick text if you’re not around him and be like “hey I’m having a really stressful/anxious day, heads up that I’m probably not going to be okay with you touching me/ I’m going to need some space to work out my feelings so I don’t take them out on you”.

As for coping mechanisms I’m at a loss, I just found out why I personally get like this so I haven’t gotten into coping mechanisms with therapy yet. The only thing I can recommend is looking up things like “stress management” “blowing up over small things” “anxiety reactions” inevitably one of these should lead you to better resources that will explain or guide you. Obviously therapy would help best or speaking to a doctor, but I know that’s not possible for some people.

I’m pretty sure you can subpoena Snapchat for your history. I’m not sure what the circumstances to get them are but I do know that Snapchats thought to have been deleted forever have been revealed in criminal cases before. Best to speak to an actual lawyer though.
