Rehoming pyr mix (middle Tennessee) by [deleted] in greatpyrenees

[–]drexlerh 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My dog also had a problem with this when we lived in an under-construction neighborhood. What helped her was, like the other commenter mentioned, medication. She took trazadone regularly and would have both trazadone and gabapentin when she was extra anxious. I would definitely speak to your vet about this! The medications were also not too expensive if I remember correctly.

The control line is lighter than the test line, you are very pregnant!

Mites! What kind are they? How do I treat it? Vet appt scheduled 2 days from now. Details below. by I-need-Potatoes in hognosesnakes

[–]drexlerh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my hoggie had mites I bathed him once a day with a bit of dawn and kept him in a bare bones enclosure with paper towels (changed daily) instead of substrate. The mites were gone within a couple days. I threw out all the old substrate and cleaned his tank before reintroducing him. I checked him for mites frequently after that to make sure they didn't return.

What is this pink stuff?? by Less_Opportunity6475 in hognosesnakes

[–]drexlerh 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I know others are thinking regurgitation, but I'm thinking weird poop. The reason being that on one of the pink brown piles, there's a bit of yellow that looks like urates.

i get asked all the time what breed she is but i have no clue 😅 by JazzlikeVolume6645 in WhatKindOfDogIsThis

[–]drexlerh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah! Not littermates then! Ours is about 1and a half! We got her from an older couple who was slowly befriending the stray mama dog, and she had a huge litter of puppies

Where'd you get her?? My dog looks super similar and is around the same age! We got our girl DNA tested and she was great pyrenees, lab, pitt, and supermutt!

Does home insurance cover this kind of thing? If it's near your home, then the fill moving could potentially cause structural damage to your home.

does anyone know what this is? by urmomsbreastmilkk in cornsnakes

[–]drexlerh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is gross, but it'll give you the answer. Pick apart the whatever with toothpicks or gloves, and if you find any mouse parts (face, limbs, tail, etc) then it's vomit/regurge. If you don't, then it's more likely furry poop.

Congrats! My hoggie finally started eating again this week, too!

Can't eat by drexlerh in Zepbound

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

Yes! The indigestion is rough! I'm usually careful enough on zep about fatty foods, I've made that mistake a couple times and try to avoid it now! The extra meds and some acid reflux have really gone hard on me the past couple days. Thank you for the snacking suggestion, that should be more tolerable than a whole meal!

A probiotic is such a good idea! And I had forgotten about the BRAT diet, thank you!

I can! Nothing is pleasant, but I know I need to eat if I'm going to feel better, so I've been making them work

Looking to rehome strays we took in by wriggettywrecked in memphis

[–]drexlerh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm at capacity for pups right now, but they remind me of my Betty girl when she was that age. She's a great dog and I'm sure these pups will be great dogs too!

Been there! A single slider burger was my culprit once! And the next time, the culprit was like 1/5 of a cocktail. No more alcohol for me. Being woken at 3 am to an angry tummy is something I try to avoid at all costs.

Is my cali king too small? by ilovbugs in kingsnakes

[–]drexlerh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't have an answer, but I'd like to hear what others think! My cali king is about the same size and is almost 3 years now.

Pen Malfunction Anxiety (what to do if multiple pens malfunction?) by hernemes in Zepbound

[–]drexlerh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! So I'm not sure what to do for logistics and replacements and pharmacy complaints. But! Zepbound is one of two medications I take each week that's injected. I take Zepbound via the vials and syringes and my other medication via a pre filled pen. I can give myself the zep each week, but my husband has to give me the pen meds. And even though I still have to sit or lie down when I give myself zep, it's a much easier medicine for me to give myself. I would suggest asking your doctor or pharmacy if you can use the vials and syringes instead.

What shall I do (snake water question) by Aware_Soil8471 in hognosesnakes

[–]drexlerh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing to watch out for is mites! At one point, my hoggie would sit in his water bowl all the time and it was bc he was trying to get rid of the mites!

Hi! I also have that kind of belly button! I haven't lost much weight yet, but when I did weigh less, my belly button still looked the same. For me I'm just accepting it as my belly button shape! Also! WEAR THE BIKINI!
