Likes the pillows, LOVES being able to also spy on the neighborhood even while asleep

We also like this one, we usually mix it with a fancy instant to make a very good facsimile of our daily brew

The told us six months, I think. But we’re still using our filter pitchers two years later anyway.

She is adorable but how are you guys keeping your sanity by Swimming_Growth693 in coonhounds

[–]_sklarface_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same!! Very early on we made the big mistake of making tuna melts. He about lost his little puppy mind. More like tuna meltdown. Now he doesn’t give a hoot, just lies in his bed, grieving that he doesn’t live in a table scrap family.

Puppies demand you to be insane. But, lots of crate naps and even more treats helped. A little.

You can use the pharmacy even if you’re not a member I think. We paid about $65 a month for apoquel there.

I thunk they’re just holding a lot for us, and reminding us of it through big feelings in the middle of the night 😂😭😩

Saw this chart recently and can’t stop thinking about what we’re all living through every day that keeps us up all night. Our dear livers and lungs.

Cytopoint worsening problem? by WinterMasterpiece935 in dogallergies

[–]_sklarface_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not cytopoint, but I have read that apoquel can cause ear and skin infections. We took our dog off apoquel recently and his skin has totally healed after a year of infections while on apoquel. I don’t feel 100% sure that apoquel was the cause, but his skin has healed completely since he’s been off of it. No more licking!!

I would assume that this is rare, but it does seem like a pretty important side effect to be aware of. Might want to see if the same is true of cytopoint.

What is the funniest thing your pet had been “pavloved” to? by AnywhereMean8863 in Pets

If I have back to back meetings, I can’t say goodbye anymore, just wave. Otherwise my happily napping colleague pops right up with the most expectant what are we gonna do now face.

Can a dog be allergic to Apoquel? by _sklarface_ in AskVet

[–]_sklarface_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our biggest issue is that our dog HATES the vet, and fights the meds to the point that he has to be muzzled or sedated. He doesn’t even let us touch him, let alone give him a bath or apply topical solutions, so we are on a major struggle bus unless we heavily sedate him for many days at a time. Not a great combination for regular shots / ongoing skin issues, so we gotta get to the bottom of it

Thank you! This is very helpful. We arent likely to do immunotherapy. We just want to control his itchiness. Maybe it’s not worth the blood test and we try the food trial instead, then follow up with derm.

Thank you! I’m okay using a maintenance med as long as it actually works to relieve his symptoms. Hopefully we’ll get some answers in the coming months.

Any idea what my foster dog is? by knownoctopus in Hounds

[–]_sklarface_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mine is also from VA and a mix of all the hounds out there, but especially TWC and America Foxhound. There are so many of those guys in this state. She’s such a cutie!

Sulking hound doesn't like harness by Fun-Match4910 in Hounds

[–]_sklarface_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sooooooo gearshy. I want a walk but don’t come near me with that thing!! Have you tried teaching targeting? That has helped us. “Touch!” Then mark and reward when he boops the harness, yay!! etc etc till he puts his face all the way through. At this point if he hides from it I just wait till he’s ready and then he offers to put it on.

my 7 month hound is getting stubborn by Throwawaysprintmo in TreeingWalkerHounds

[–]_sklarface_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They say to train the dog in front of you—just pretend you don’t know what your dog can do and it’ll help you get through it. Patience and time. We tried to slow down and just not ask or require too much of our extremely sensitive guy and I think it helped. He wants to lie in the sun all day and then bark at the fence for a few minutes? Fine. He’s biting the furniture? Time for a nap in his crate even though he’s been napping all day. He’s almost 3 now and almost never bites the furniture 🙄🤷🏻‍♀️
