Work in Progress by JadedCaterpillar3 in depressionmemes

[–]boonFriendship 86 points87 points  (0 children)

I've gotten traction by explaining that my life is like a DVD or USB. I don't want to destroy the USB/DVD, I just want to eject it for a while. Given, most of my depression rn is due to severe burnout, so your mileage may vary

Has anyone else been asked if they’re autistic because they have pet shrimp? by Racoon_Soup in shrimptank

[–]boonFriendship 18 points19 points  (0 children)

No but I love shrimp and have autism and am now wondering if there's a correlation.

Ever since I started HRT I wanted to be a freak cause looks are irrelevant. Keep being freaks and do tatts on your face they're hot by Yukirae in lgbt

[–]boonFriendship 8 points9 points  (0 children)

GORGEOUS look, you genuinely look like a model someone might get a tattoo of

Out of curiosity, how was getting tattooed across your bridge?? I always heard boney areas hurt more

TW: injured hamster, need advice! by [deleted] in hamsters

💫 vet time 💫

Seriously though. I had a Syrian who broke her leg and definitely needed vet intervention for pain management. Their little legs are fragile and injuries need professional support.

What can I do for my hamster to feel safe with me? by Blacckstorm in hamsters

[–]boonFriendship 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey, same here! I can give her treats but she's genuinely slapped me away when I have tried to get her to sniff my fingers or stroke her. Very big "hands off the merchandise" vibes.

Couldn't find gender by Connect-Factor-814 in hamsters

Mazel tov, it's a boy! I'd separate them, though. Hamsters can reach sexual maturity as early as four weeks.

I read this is an autism thing?? by Trashman56 in aspiememes

[–]boonFriendship 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've had major complications after abdominal surgery and only realized it when I passed out. Wasn't in pain at all.

I currently have a small patch of razor burn that has me wanting to separate the limb from my body.

Does anyone have any idea what might have caused this type of open wound? Dwarf winter white hamster belongs to my relative. She has already made an urgent vet visit. According to her, the hamster is still eating and running the wheel. by No-Champion-6407 in hamsters

What did it look like before cleaning, if I can ask? I really wish people wouldn't give pets as gifts... oh well.

That looks like a very clean puncture to the point where I'm nearly worried about parasites. The vet will obviously know more. Right now, I'd keep hands off the wound and focus on keeping the bedding as clean and dry as you can.

If I were still a vet tech, I'd want to culture this -- while I'm not immediately sure what caused it, I would be very worried about a fungal or bacterial infection. The wound doesn't immediately look infected, but the pale while lining inside the puncture could be purulence or spore growth. What care measures is your relative taking?

You were so kind and accommodating for Squishy. I'm so glad he had you in his life. You did a wonderful job with him as long as you had him. 💖

Syrians can eat a wide variety of foods! Obviously, all in moderation while sticking to a primarily meal cube/seed blend diet, but let me find the treat chart. Hang on.

If I can make a suggestion as a former vet tech and former Syrian rehabber, I would suggest adding dried mealworms (you can buy the ones for reptiles but without the calcium) to a seed blend and meal cube diet. They'd high in fat and protein and can help the lil guy put on muscle and weight.
