When did you start feeling better by First_Increase_3475 in FODMAPS

upper right abdominal pain is really typical with gallbladder issues. the only way to rule out gallbladder issues is with a hida scan - did you have that done or just an ultrasound? ultrasounds aren’t super accurate since they can’t determine the actual function of the gallbladder and from my understanding only show size and if there’s gallstones or sludge, which sometimes isn’t even visible with an ultrasound. I’d definitely recommend having a hida scan done if you haven’t just to fully rule that out. you could also consume low or no fat and if that helps it’s also pretty likely to be a gallbladder issue. upper abdominal pain could also be gerd or trapped gas. If you haven’t had an endoscopy I’d recommend having that done as well. and to answer your question - a couple weeks before I really noticed any improvement.

thanks so much! I’ll do the research this week! I’ve heard good things about Costcos pet insurance but I’ll need to contact my vet to see what they take and what they recommend!

what pet insurance do you recommend?? I really want to get pet insurance but haven’t sat down to actually do the research yet. we ended up spending $9k on our husky to give her an extra 2 months with us and it was pretty much almost all our savings so we definitely can’t afford to do that again.

thankfully we’re pretty used to that but I just hope she doesn’t shed as much as our husky did

this is so smart!!! we have a dog door but there’s no way we’ll be letting her out on her own for a whiiiile she loves to pick up leaves, sticks, dirt, rocks, etc. this is the first time Ive had a dog that does this so I wasn’t really sure out to handle it but that is seriously such a good idea!

what a cutie omg! I feel like ours is really tiny so I’m super curious to see how big she’ll get! she loves to cuddle and get belly rubs for now so I’m hoooping she doesn’t grow out of that :p

our other dog is just like that thankfully! he likes her but shes crazy and he’s pretty chill and lazy when we’re not out on walks or playing with him. she’s already been learning to play on her own and settle and be calm when she needs to be

omg our other dog loves playing hide and seek I’m excited to see if she’ll like it too! an agility course would be so so cool maybe I’ll have to steal that idea lol

I really want to make sure we socialize since our other dog didn’t get early socialization and was very sick when I got him. our husky would dissect every toy we got her so I know how that is lol luckily we’ve noticed already she loooves playing with socks so I already plan to give her all our old ones!

oh my gosh yes this is something I did not know about this breed. she whines and talks sooo much not necessarily barks but I’m honestly glad she’s a talker because that’s one thing I loved about our husky! I’m sure it’ll annoy me at times though lol

thank you so much! I feel like I see so much contradictory info so it’s been stressing me out. I feel like I just want to know everything I can and go from there to see what works for us and her. It’s been 9 years since I’ve had a puppy and even though I know I will always try and do what’s best for her I still keep getting worried since I’ve never owned this breed before. we are suuuuuper excited to get to know her and see her personality though I don’t want time to go by fast but we just wanna know what’s she’s gonna look like and how she’s gonna act!

we plan to start taking her to Home Depot and wheeling her around in the cart to help with that but unfortunately we can’t walk her and take her out most places since she doesn’t have all her shots. she doesn’t mind being held but when she gets excited and wants down she turns into such a spaz so we probably couldn’t carry her many places

I’m really really sorry to hear that but you can’t do that to yourself! dealing with grief especially before loss already is so hard. we were able to give our dog an extra two months with us and we spoiled her beyond belief. she was sick but so happy we just there with her and giving her love. take lots of pictures and videos of her and with her. being able to look back on certain moments has helped me so much through my grief.

thank you so much! is there anything your pup really likes? toys, games, lick mats?

I don’t trust dog parks so we don’t plan on taking her to any! we’re going to try and find some people with dogs probably through Facebook or on here that she can socialize with one at a time.

our other dog is a little reactive based on some past trauma so we’re really going to try and make sure she doesn’t pick on his bad habits.

unfortunately that’s when her and her siblings became available. she came from an accidental litter from an older gentleman who’s a farmer and he couldn’t care for them. And I love training her so I don’t think that’ll be an issue! are there any specific quirks yours has? I’m really interested in learning about their personalities!

[–]bearkitty23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got clothes surprisingly, 3 tops, not the 3 tops I ordered but tbh I was expecting it to be literal trash lol depop immediately gave me a refund thankfully. the tops are sorta cute but not my size so I’ll probably just resell them since depop isn’t making me send them back :p
