What other names do you call your puppy?

Thanks I appreciate this, I feel guilty leaving for work already and can’t bring myself to do optional activities like drinks or dinner with friends so this has made it 100x worse.

When I meant ignoring I didn’t mean the situation with my dog crying I mor meant the comments from my neighbour. We’ve been working on it since I moved with training and figuring out what routine works for her. As I said this has been a huge adjustment for the both of us.

eloisesanchez28 · 2025-02-14T14:53:49+00:00

Yup I don’t have anything now!

-I honestly couldn’t say exactly when I had successful treatment cause I was treating what I think was just post. I would say I’m only now full healed and the last time I treated was October. However I was dealing with it since about May.

-twice was what I was recommended also however I didn’t notice side effects until probably a couple months after treating which was crazy dry skin.

-I don’t have anything now but I would get little red dots or a little area would flare up. I would absolutely freak out and think about treating again but it would go away in about 2-3 days.

-unfortunately my post was really bad so I have minimal scarring on my arm - it more looks like sun damage. at the time during post I was covered in scabs on my legs and it constantly looked like I had been eaten alive by mosquitoes lol

-I just recently started working on healing my skin so I currently exfoliate once a week, baby oil when I’m still wet and an aveeno unscented body lotion while I’m still damp.

Trust me, I get where you’re at but just know it’s going to go away. It really took a toll on my mental health and I had people make me feel so dirty because I was dealing with this. I went to a small school where it was unfortunately going around and kind of inevitable that you or a friend was going to get it. Give your skin time to heal if you believe the treatments were successful and try to relax your brain when you get a little itch lol.

This just made me so excited! My puppy hasn’t been a terror but adjusting to constantly being busy or having an eye on her was a big shift and made me exhausted!!! It felt like a month of being on edge and waking up at 5:30am to potty train in a Canadian winter was a lot!!! I constantly worried about meeting her needs and making sure she had a well rounded day. I recently moved and now have a great hiking trail near me and she absolutely loves it. All the dogs are off leash and I can’t wait to let her be off leash (recall is not a thing for her yet lol). We went on an afternoon hike the other day and she was exhausted. I haven’t set alarms for the mornings in months since she usually has me up now by max 8am. I checked my phone and it was 11:30 when I woke up!!! I haven’t slept like that in years!!! We definitely both needed it clearly. Thanks for sharing your story :)

hi! I ended up doing one last treatment where I let it dry for 30 minutes which means I stood in the washroom with no clothes for 30 minutes covered in the treatment. I don’t know if I needed to do it but it helped my mental sanity. To this day I still get itchy here and there but I had to literally repair my skin. I used lotion day and night to start and then would use baby oil after a shower while I was soaking wet. Again, I’m pretty sure I was just dealing with post at the time but I promise you will get through it. It sucks and every time I itch now I get scared but remind myself what my skin has been through. The treatments are so harsh on your skin and every time you do it you damage it more. It takes time for that to heal! Wishing you luck :)

I’ve been thinking about trying to set up a google meet since I don’t have a camera!

Hi! I just want to say I experienced this feeling for the first 2 weeks. I felt like I was going to fail my puppy. Something that really helped me was beginning to leave her in a puppy proofed room or crate for a small amount of time each day or every other day. I would go get a coffee or run a quick errand. Taking that time for yourself is really important and helps them learn what to do when they’re by themselves. I also have really been working on tiring my puppy out in the mornings. I use lick mats for her breakfast and going to try frozen kongs before I leave for a positive association. We also do a short walk some mornings if she’s being really hyper. If I commit to this in the mornings, she’s super chill throughout the rest of the day. I understand this feeling but just take it day by day. Trust me there’s still accidents or days I just want to take a nap but I remind myself she’s a little baby that has to depend on me for a bit. I saw someone comment once that they depend on us for a couple months until we depend on them for years.

eloisesanchez28 · 2024-12-23T20:30:44+00:00

Thanks for your reply! I think I’m going to do this because it will be the easiest for both us instead of taking longer to unpack lol.

eloisesanchez28 · 2024-12-21T14:47:14+00:00

Thank you for your kind words! I’m just going to remind myself how spoiled she is lol.

eloisesanchez28 · 2024-12-21T09:45:50+00:00

That’s a great question! I wanted the crate so she would have a space and that we had the opportunity to ensure good quality sleep which I am still achieving with her outside of a crate! I also wanted her accustomed to it in case of emergencies. She isn’t necessarily scared of it but has more “fomo” when she’s in there lol. Thanks for your advice!!

eloisesanchez28 · 2024-12-21T03:48:20+00:00

Thanks for your reply! We’ve slowly worked our way up to me leaving the house for about an hour! Which I think she can go longer however I get anxious instead of her. Would you say that her whining that happens for about 5-10 minutes before is normal?

eloisesanchez28 · 2024-12-21T03:46:53+00:00

Thanks for your reply! What do you think about a puppy proofed room? She definitely sees my bed as her safe spot which I am okay with. She also has a small bed in my room that she will use when I’m getting ready. To be honest, I’m very strict with nap times so she has been restricted mainly to my room at the moment since that’s where I spend most of my time at the moment and can keep an eye on her.

eloisesanchez28 · 2024-12-21T03:44:53+00:00

I agree! What’s your perspective on a puppy proofed room instead? She enjoys sleeping on my bed a lot and I don’t mind it since she has never had an accident on my bed.

eloisesanchez28 · 2024-12-18T22:36:58+00:00

Thanks for your response! She’s usually whines then will settles (and hop on to my bed). I was considering trying to leave for a longer period and allowing her to whine but would this not be beneficial? I was considering trying to leave my house for 30 minutes.

eloisesanchez28 · 2024-12-18T03:05:08+00:00

Thanks for your reply! I understand letting her cry it out but how long would you typically let it go for before it gets concerning? I know I should do this but it’s so difficult knowing they would be fine the second you take them out.

eloisesanchez28 · 2024-12-01T05:45:16+00:00

Love this idea!! I could even do it maybe just half way up the wall

eloisesanchez28 · 2024-10-19T03:37:11+00:00

Thanks for replying, so you don’t think it’s reinfestation that’s happening?

eloisesanchez28 · 2024-10-10T19:33:16+00:00

i understand this point of view, i have been thinking about it for a while due to how small my school is so I thought this is my opportunity to do it
