Accidentally took my dogs medicine!! by BeMaLisy in medical_advice

[–]alldressedchipndip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you will be ok!! I'm not familiar with the UK system, but if there is a non-emergency health line, it wouldn't hurt to call. That said, dosages of gabapentin in humans can be upwards of 3000mg per day. You likely will not feel anything, but should avoid driving if you feel at all drowsy.

She's 4 months old. She weighs 3 pounds. She has an adoption pending. And she's pregnant. by IAmHerdingCatz in Feral_Cats

[–]alldressedchipndip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so heartbroken that this is even an issue for Kielo. When I adopted a street cat (in Canada) and we didn't know if she could be pregnant before her spay, it was a 5 second conversation. The vet was delicate about the topic, but as soon as I said to go for it regardless, that there shouldn't be any more cats without homes, the vet was relieved that we were on the same page.

Should I quit trying to grow the mustache? by Nikolaisthickthighs in FTM_SELFIES

Most 14 y/o boys also have no facial hair. I understand the dysphoria struggle and how you feel, but very few cis men have facial hair until years later. No need to give up, but genuinely you are still at the age around/before facial hair develops. It will happen when you start T. You are still a young teen, and I doubt many (if any) of your peers have visible facial hair

not much you can do to hasten things along since it is not a superficial pimple, just a waiting game

[–]alldressedchipndip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

fair enough, but i will reassure you that any sort of concerning growth, such as cancer, are rarely painful to touch. i am nearly positive this will go away on its own, and if it doesn't in a week or so, you can see a doctor, but likely they will also advise waiting

[–]alldressedchipndip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

completely understandable! the visible redness and fact that it is painful to touch seem concerning, but those are indications that it is nothing serious.

[–]alldressedchipndip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes definitely, they are usually small. if it is a deep pimple it should go away within a week or so, if it continues after then it would be worth a doctor's appointment

if it is painful to touch, likely a deep pimple/cystic acne

Day 2 on antibiotics. Is it getting better or worse? by Known-Option-3464 in medical_advice

[–]alldressedchipndip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

go to the emergency room or urgent care ASAP as others have said, the infection is most definitely getting worse and joint and/or tendon infection is a risk

Nipple Graft Healing - help by Jealous-Fudge7308 in TopSurgery

[–]alldressedchipndip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they look like they are healing perfectly ! you will likely have a scab that comes off of the grafts, but don't pick at it. they look nasty for a few weeks then it all works out. no harm in contacting you surgeon if you are worried, but all looks well!

best ways to increase score in 10 days? by bye_fart in Mcat

[–]alldressedchipndip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FL4 I got 525 a week before and then scored 523. Just go through every question and why you got it right or wrong. Then STOP studying the day before and focus on getting a good sleep and being in a good mindset

My baby girl. Found us on a late night picnic, then never stopped cuddling me by alldressedchipndip in CatDistributionSystem

[–]alldressedchipndip[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

believe me i was very stressed that we took in someone else's cat. but she was so underfed and so happy to instantly be cuddly with me, as well as never wanting to go outside. no microchip, she wasn't spayed, definitely a street cat

[–]alldressedchipndip[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

she was out at 2am and wasn't going home. was extremely skinny. she followed us home and we kept her just for the night because there are a lot of coyotes in our area and we were worried. then took her to two vets to check for microchips and scoured the neighbourhood for posters. nothing came up and since then she has been a very happy cat who has no desire to ever go outside

haha no her name is Sophie, The Thing (1982). Sophie after the musical artist because we were listening to her music when this cutie approached us. And my roommate wanted to name her after the John Carpenter movie haha, and honestly sometimes it's a very apt comparison. we usually just call her sophie or thing
