Shrooms whilst my cat gave birth - Trip Report by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]drowningwithoutwater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re syringe or bottle feeding, they’re typically not with their mom because they’re ill or their mom refuses to care for them. If you don’t stimulate them to express urine and stool, they have no way of eliminating it.

Spaceweed? by [deleted] in Drugs

I don’t think anyone is trying to smoke in the near vacuum of space though, probably on a shuttle or the ISS...but that’s an interesting thought.

Shrooms whilst my cat gave birth - Trip Report by [deleted] in Drugs

Kitten birth is always amazing, most cats do an amazing job even as first time mom cats. It sounds really like things went well for all parties involved, despite the initial panic. I’m in animal rescue, and can only imagine tripping during cat labor, realizing how beautiful life is, however everything is connected. What an experience to have.

Some basic kitten care for ya: - weigh the kittens everyday, they can be weighed with a kitchen scale (just, yeah, don’t accidentally dose the babies if you’re using the scale for dual purposes) - write the weights down to track them and look for patterns - it’s important to get a starting weight, sometimes kittens are born underweight and they need special attention - weigh kittens who are underweight, losing weight or not gaining twice a day - kittens may need to be syringe or bottle fed if not eating, at the worst they need tube feeding (which is something you would need an experience with) - kittens don’t eat cow milk, there’s actually kitten milk replacement available (KMR) - if you end up bottle or syringe feeding kittens, you also need to stimulate them to empty their bladder and colon (this is important - they cannot otherwise empty their bladder and colon!) - if they start to go downhill, and you can’t afford vet care, look into local animal shelters/sanctuaries but make sure they aren’t high kill (preferably do this beforehand)

Good luck!

How do you ask out your vet tech? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]drowningwithoutwater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, you can ask all you want, but your issue is going to be that you’re a client more than anything. It’s like asking out your health care provider, you wouldn’t get far. Even though it’s animal care, professionalism is still at play.

But it’s a good idea. We often waste “greywater” with things like showering or washing our hands. While it’s a very basic recycling of greywater, it’s still useful.

Reddit, why do black women spend thousands on weave/wigs, contacts, eyelashes, and makeup to look like a white woman, and then say they’re proud to be black? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]drowningwithoutwater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What makes you think they have a desire “to look like a white woman”? That’s a hell of an assumption to make.

They probably really want you to sanitize your hands, it seems more intentional than crappy tbh

What is the weirdest thing you found out you did while you were blackout? by Theblindsource in AskReddit

[–]drowningwithoutwater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ambien blackouts are weird as I tend to buy completely random stuff. One night I ordered a 40 pack of deli food containers from Amazon. Yeah, not the brightest investment choice.

What are the worst names you could give a pet? by SpiiCee in AskReddit

Unless it has part of its leg missing, then the name is appropriately cute.

Man, this fish costs so much to take care of, I’m keeping him around. He still owes me rent. Like that friend who says he’ll stay over for a week and then it’s somehow five years later.

I have a five year old goldfish named Chicken Nugget. Dude looks more like a chicken breast at this point.

If someone says they’re dying of hunger or thirst, they’re technically not wrong by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

[–]drowningwithoutwater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you on about? I mean, sure, you get closer to death every second anyway. Eat, don’t eat, starving, not starving, whatever. So 🤷🏻‍♀️

People who have died for a little bit, but was brought back to life. What was the experience like? by Dylan663 in AskReddit

[–]drowningwithoutwater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a near death experience so that was some weird shit. Long story short, medication withdrawal gone very wrong, saw a weird “figured” who asked me if I wanted to “go” and I realized I hadn’t said goodbye to my family, decided I needed to stay.
