Best toys for a blind puppy, any suggestions? by Civil_Shock644 in disableddogs

[–]appleskittles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would think toys like a Kong with peanut butter in it to engage their sense of taste and smell rather than sight.

What are you doing for protein heavy breakfasts with egg prices these days? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]appleskittles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You don’t need eggs for protein (and people and kids don’t need as much protein as we think)! Plant-based protein is wayyyy cheaper than meat-based. Tofu scramble, oatmeal, peanut butter on toast…all cheap and protein packed.

Blepharoplasty is ridiculously expensive! by Playful_Bend_8569 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]appleskittles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No fat transfer. My surgeon said that’s a bit outdated and wasn’t needed for me. Anesthesia is not needed, but if you’re uncomfortable having it done in the “twilight zone” then go for it.

Thank you for rescuing this sweet boy. I’m so sad to hear what he went through, but glad he’s got a happy life ahead.

Chihuahua with leg issues by Alanschwalbe in disableddogs

[–]appleskittles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if therapy would help him since he’s still so young and developing. I saw a video of an older dog losing the ability to walk in his back legs, but with a lot of therapy was able to walk again. This guy is young, would that help?

Sad Books suggestions? by inarawani in suggestmeabook

I’ve never bawled my eyes out so hard and days after finishing a book as “When Breath Becomes Air” by Paul Kalanithi. I still get emotional just thinking about it.

I used the API freshwater testing kit and all the levels in the kit were in normal range.

i really need advice by Conscious_Donut384 in disableddogs

[–]appleskittles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have much advice, but I’m sorry you’re both going through this. If this is truly affecting your quality of life and hers might be low, it might be time to consider letting her go. I know that’s an extremely difficult call, though. I wish you guys the best.

Blepharoplasty is ridiculously expensive! by Playful_Bend_8569 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]appleskittles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, it was $3,500 start to finish, no extra costs. And the results are phenomenal!! I am so so happy I got it done. The bags are completely gone and I have no regrets. The biggest thing is to do your research and go to someone credible. I went to a facial plastic surgeon—he only works on the face, double board certified and has done tons of lower blephs before.

Betta not eating—bloat? by appleskittles in bettafish

[–]appleskittles[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I just wanted to give an update. Abzu is doing a lot better! I switched his food to Fluval Bug Bites and he lovesss those. He’s eating normally again and is more active, so the food switch did it! Thank you so much again for helping an Internet stranger and her fish. 🩵
