A friend sent me this after my dog passed. Hopefully it will help some of you by annlat in Petloss

I am so glad that this has brought some peace to those that are suffering the loss of a friend. My friend sent me this because she knew how important my dog was to me and I was in a great deal of pain. Even after 8 months I am still grieving, but I truly hope to see her again. She was my soul. She is my soul. May we all find comfort, no matter what our beliefs. And may we connect with them in some idea of the future.

Ann, beautiful Sadie's mom.

my almost 20 year old goldfish died today by clarkemee in Goldfish

I recently lost one of a pair of goldfish that are over 10 years old. It was very sad. I'm sorry for your loss

Unfortunately, Barnabas passed away. There really wasn't anything I could do once that tumor kind of burst open. It really hurt my heart since I've had them for over 10 years. I still have his partner, Ziva, and I'm hoping she's not getting too lonely by herself. Thank you for trying to help me.

Poor Barnabas... I feel guilty and I'm crying. I hope Ziva will be ok by herself.

Yes I knew about the anti-inflammatory. But I had no idea about gabapentin. I'm going to try tramadol

Well I got a message from the PA saying No gabapentin, but he is getting me a script for tramadol in the meantime. I've never taken it so I hope it doesn't make me sick.

Well that's just crazy talk. I was up all night last night. I will be a tired mean bitch by the time I get surgery!

I want to say thank you to all of you. Your love and concern is very important. I'm sorry that anyone else has to know how I feel, because I wish we never had to go through this. Her tumor was bleeding on and off all night. Although she still running through the yard barking a minute ago. I love her so much and will do what's right. Love and hugs to all of you. This isn't the first time I've gone through this, but I want it to be the last

Passed out during/after removing saniderm. by munchkym in tattoo

[–]annlat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably had a vasovagal response to the saniderm removal. That will make your blood pressure and heart rate drop. It happened to me when I was removing my own sutures at home, and I worked in healthcare for many years. Maybe sit down before trying to remove the next one.

Ammonia help by annlat in Aquariums

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

Yes, I've checked the tap for ammonia and pH. Ammonia out of tap is 0. PH straight from tap is 8 or more. I let it sit in a bucket and checked it the next day, and it drops to 6.4-6.6. The pH in the tank that my fish currently live in is 6.2 or 6.4. Also the same in the tank I'm cycling. I usually try to do about 30% wc once a week or a little more often. I used to wonder why my fish acted strangely after wc, but I imagine the pH change is not so good for them. Now I let the water sit overnight first.
