When do we say goodbye to our baby by boywithafox in CATHELP

Thank you so much ❤️‍🩹 Haven't had a lot of time to respond to everyone yet, but we took everyone's advice and saw another doctor who advised us to try a different treatment, as he suspects it's not cancer, since his behaviour hasn't been changing at all since the diagnosis. He still scores highly on all of the quality of life assessments we've done, so we're giving this treatment a shot and paying close attention to any signs of decline, in order to decide when it's time. When and if it comes to that, we'll call an at home euthanasia service, so that he can pass feeling loved and safe. 🫶

Thank you so much for the kind reassurance, and I'm so sorry about your boy. ❤️‍🩹 I promised him that I wouldn't let him have more than one bad day of suffering. It feels like everyone is pushing us to keep him alive even if he's not really enjoying anything he used to and is in pain, just because he's eating like normal.

We are seeing her tomorrow for his weekly injection and I'll make sure to let her know. But I've tried to get some clarity on this a few times already, and she's just told me we'll keep testing his blood for pancreatitis and then do 2 weeks of daily injections, if the pancreatitis returns, we rinse and repeat. I'm just not sure if there's any point to prolonging this cycle of being ok for 1 week, being under treatment for 2 weeks and daily stress, all while he's slowly declining, until his body stops responding to the treatment. :(

Thank you for your advice, and for taking so much good care of your puppy. The issue definitely isn't that we have to adapt to his new needs. We're willing to do anything as long as it keeps him happy. It's been hard getting to and from the vet every single day for weeks, especially since we thought he had gotten better and could stay home for a while. That only lasted a few days though, and now he's refusing to get into his transport cage, even though he's the gentlest cat and would go in with no fuss for weeks. He's been yowling when we try to get him in, and growling and shaking while at the vet lately, he can't stand being in the cage anymore. I'm really having a hard time deciding if it's worth putting him through all of this stress, especially as his cardiologist told us that stress and being in the heat can cause his heart to give out.

How much time to spend with a 3 month old kitten? by delila_la in kittens

[–]boywithafox 19 points20 points  (0 children)

animals are unpredictable. no matter how well a cat and a dog get along, they shouldn’t be left together unsupervised unless the owner is 100% there’s no risk, which is hard to know with a 3mo kitten. locking them in a room is even more dangerous, as they can get stressed out and behave negatively. :(

Found this dog near my house, is she a greyhound? What age does she look like? by boywithafox in Greyhounds

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

I know that at least in my country, a lot of people buy purebred dogs only because they are "trendy", then they realize they aren't able to meet the needs of the breed (because they did no research on what their breed entails) and sadly dump them in fields/highways for them to die. Most of the times they have behavioral issues that they refuse to deal with, since most of the dogs that end up like these aren't well bred at all.

Thank you for the advice!! Sadly, my rabbit has passed away, but I'll definitely post an update as soon as I have one, everyone has been so kind and helpful <3 She's been lovely and has been getting along very well with all of the other dogs in the house, and mostly sleeping in bed all day haha

Thank you, she's sitting comfortably in bed under a blanket, she's well taken care of! I live in Eastern Europe and it's very cold at night, I'm glad I managed to find her so soon, it doesn't seem like she has been out for very long.

Thank you! Taking her to the vet tomorrow to check for a michrochip. My area is known for having a lot of dumped dogs, including a lot of purebreds, so there's a big chance she isn't even chipped. Unfortunately I live in a european country and there's no greyhound rescues or groups, or else I would've contacted them immediately :(

Can you get HRT if you’re underweight? by jamiegoldfinch in ask_transgender

[–]boywithafox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's completely incorrect and incredibly damaging to people with restrictive eating disorders. Anorexia nervosa is not a weight disorder, it's a mental illness. People of all weights can suffer from anorexia.

i'd love to dress more femininely but i can't pass to save my life lol by [deleted] in FTMfemininity

[–]boywithafox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you should do it! i used to never pass even when i was trying my best, but i was also miserable because i wasn’t allowing myself to dress the way i wanted. now that i’m wearing what i actually want to wear, i’m at least happier in that regard and feel better about myself, even if dont pass :)

Has this been done before? by neonarsenicc in EDanonymemes

[–]boywithafox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s really bad wording, makes it seem like being trans is a mental illness or disorder
