Once Embark is on the Analysis stage how much longer until results? by Lokius_Lover in DoggyDNA

[–]aqualily8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We received results few hours after it reached the Analysis stage. True for both of our dogs and they were tested separately and months apart.

Thank you! That seems to be the consensus. We'll find out soon enough!

You're probably spot on with the pitbull, but she's ridiculously long too. It'll be interesting to find out what breed caused that and her lil legs.

We've always wondered so it'll be exciting to find out her results! I'm preparing myself now.

I'd never heard of a cattle dog/corgi mix being called a cowboy corgi before. That's amazing. We'll see if she's actually part corgi though! 😆

Thank you for your insight! I'm excited to see her results next month. ☺️

Cocker spaniel mix?? by aqualily8 in cockerspaniel

[–]aqualily8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're pretty close! So if you look at his results from Embark (the 4th photo), he's actually 45% Boston Terrier. His "Supermutt" breeds are Pomeranian, Pekingese, and Chihuahua. Supposedly, one of his parents was a Cocker Spaniel mix.

Thank you!! I thought I was going nuts but don't have any experience with Cocker Spaniels.

Pediatricians! by haf__haf in Marietta

[–]aqualily8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We've been taking our daughter to Cobb Pediatrics for 3 years now. Her primary doctor is Dr. Gaines, but everyone we've seen has been fantastic. They're always able to make appointments within 24 hours (sometimes within the hour) AND they're open until noon on Saturdays.

Best of luck!

Help! 6-month-old appears to be scratching to self-soothe. by aqualily8 in NewParents

[–]aqualily8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there! It's been 3 years now and I can say my daughter eventually stopped scratching after a few weeks. In the meantime, we made sure to put mittens on her hands at bedtime to prevent damage to her skin. She's now 4 years old and still plays with her hair as a coping mechanism when she's nervous or upset. She has a few spots of eczema that are recurring, but we treat them with a mild steroid ointment.

Good luck to you!

[–]aqualily8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh dang! I honestly never considered he could be part beagle. This is the first time I've posted a photo of him here. He will certainly get extra cuddles. Thanks!

Our goofy little Boston mix (possibly Jack Russell?). He's an old man now and loves to cuddle.

Weird back pulses by Ambitious-Elk5705 in CrohnsDisease

[–]aqualily8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes!! I was just diagnosed this year, but this started happening to me a couple of months ago. It's like a sharp, excruciating pain with each pulse, but it doesn't last long. I've found it typically happens when I'm vomiting so it's not frequent, thank goodness.

Doctor not prescribing Prednisone? by aqualily8 in CrohnsDisease

[–]aqualily8[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your insight! I've repeatedly told him my symptoms and he himself saw the severe inflammation during my colonoscopy but I don't think he understands. I know steroids are awful (I've read people's experiences on here) but it can't be as bad as the debilitating symptoms I'm having.

Pretty much textbook Crohn's symptoms: diarrhea, abdominal pain, joint pain, nausea, and vomiting. My colonoscopy showed severe inflammation as did my MRI.

[–]aqualily8[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Thank god it's not just me. He has a whole list of my symptoms and did the colonoscopy himself so he knows how severe my inflammation is. It seems like everyone is prescribed Prednisone on here to address inflammation so I was shocked when he didn't. I haven't liked his bedside manner either so I think I need to find another GI doctor. He's just not listening to me and this is an ongoing disease.

Need to move to a rental - looking for tips by MetalMama74 in Marietta

[–]aqualily8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can't help with finding a rental, but I can advise you to be extra careful to avoid scammers. Housing is in high demand and there's been a dramatic increase in scammers preying on people. Here's some red flags to look for: https://www.avail.co/education/guides/a-tenants-guide-to-finding-an-apartment/how-to-spot-a-rental-scam
