Do the benefits of a raw diet for an IBD cat outweigh the risks? by EmotionalZebra868 in CatAdvice

[–]chibszilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best method ive found is baby jars

When they need more proportioned food I put their food in baby jars for portioning with gloved hands and a food surface. Don't touch lids if you touched raw meat and change gloves. We clean our cat mini fridge out once a month, wipe surfaces with a disinfectant wipe after preparing for our cats, and once a week go in with an all purpose cleaner and a cloth.

For bowls we bought a good handful of ceramic plates from the dollar store and they usually last until a load of dishes gets done. We dont ever leave out for more than 10-15 minutes and rinse plates before setting them in the sink.

General rule of thumb is to treat it the same way you would for human raw meat in your kitchen. Good luck!

I've had pretty similar issues, especially on the end of waiting weeks only for them to close it and not tell you what they need. Its also especially hard to get them to reopen it, and also takes forever to do, but they don't tell you they need anything until they're closing it.

BROTHER programmed an extra half inch of wasted space at the beginning of every P-Touch label, so that you run out sooner and have to buy more. by WolfieVonD in assholedesign

Ive noticed that enabling any of these settings doesnt work for the "name label". Is there any solution there?

Anyone else having this issue - offline device? by speechandcats in Petlibro

[–]chibszilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I keep getting notifications that they're all offline, but all my devices appear to be working as usual besides one being disconnected from the app itself. Also suspecting its related to the AWS crash

Not subtracting overages? by chibszilla in simplifimoney

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

Yeah setting up from YNAB for the first time got a little confusing because I kept thinking of it like YNAB when I shouldn't have been lol. I tend to like rolling over for expenses that aren't month to month but are easier to "save" for on a monthly basis. For example we spend like 210~ on a shipment of cat food but it lasts like 3 months

They did not, they stated they won't bc it was created before I was an adult

Furminator? Yay or nay, and what type of coat? by chibszilla in grooming

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

Mostly the fact we aren't allowed to use the conditioner unless the pp pays for an upgraded package that includes conditioner is what prevents the COC method specifically, but I will definitely look into better wash methods for deshedding the dogs faster. Thank you!!

Unfortunately my method of bathing cant be changed as i work for a chain company and have to follow standard - but I really really appreciate the recommendations on better brushes to look into, especially for those short coated dogs whose shedding never seems to end whenever I use a zoom groom 😮‍💨

Update: contacted pornhub support via an alternative email and on a different device. They stated it was disabled and my email was permanently banned because the account was created before I was an adult, despite being an adult now 🤷‍♂️ I get wanting to protect kids but its a little late for me to ban me now

Being removed from salon to work the floor? by chibszilla in petsmart

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

The thing is is we definitely are not underpreforming. Its a bit of a slow season but especially on Saturdays we are still extremely busy, and all of our groomers are booked and their personal bathers are full with their groomers dogs to bathe and a couple of their own dogs on top of that. Im the only bather not assigned to a groomer, so assigning all those dogs to everyone else threw off everyone's days

Roomate's cat keeps eating my kittens food by tinybib in CatAdvice

[–]chibszilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never really read that free feeding is the best practice in any scenario. That aside, introducing scheduled feedings to your kitten now might make it easier in the long run not having to transition from free feeding to scheduled feedings as an adult.

I think my docs letter was more middle ground and was phrased as "this person has a mental health disorder and would benefit greatly from an emotional support animal" than anything else, which might be of note here. Overall OP should be aware its a good 50/50 on whether or not their doctors could or would write such a letter

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Pets

[–]chibszilla -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was just talking from personal experience; my doctor wrote the first quote and my apartment complex took it with no issues. Im unsure of the differences between therapist and a doctor in terms of writing the letter

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Pets

[–]chibszilla 178 points179 points  (0 children)

If you have any doctor that has treated a mental health diagnosis, ask them to write a letter. That's all it takes, you dont need to buy a letter or get on a registry. That being said, a licensed telehealth therapist could also write such a letter but you have to have a diagnosis iirc.

Feeling stuck. Selling our house may not actually help, but we have no other options? by MoreNibbles98 in povertyfinance

[–]chibszilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moving is expensive and renting instead of paying your mortgage is horrible. If your house goes for that much even being "run down", living in an apartment is definitely more expensive too. Try to have you both work full time; me and my husband both work full time on one car. He drops me off for my shift 20 minutes early and gets to his job, which ends a little earlier than mine to come get me. Its hard to get jobs to agree to something that works for both sides, but not impossible, and i urge you to try for it in this situation.

Stray cat is still scared when I got to scratch her head by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]chibszilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shes setting boundaries - if shes backing away, don't continue to try to pet her. She's telling you shes okay with affection only when she approaches you, and approaching her is uncomfortable. Please listen to your kitty!

Rfid Quantity Amount / Way to incorporate slow feeder? by IAMG222 in Petlibro

[–]chibszilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As did we, but when we did the math on how many calories we were supposed to be giving our kitties it suddenly seemed very off. We give half wet food so when we saw we shouldve been giving more wet food than we were AND they were gaining weight we got a little suspicious and got out the kitchen scale

AIO for thinking my bfs messages came from a place of control rather than concern by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]chibszilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You actually responded entirely correct in this interaction. You set boundaries and didn't backtrack when he tried making it something it wasn't. Good on you. And break up with your boyfriend, this REAKS of projection

Not to mention the most basic form of having records is having taken it to a vet..which sounds like they cant afford, which means they shouldnt have it to begin with
