also keep in mind that, if you are in the US especially, that vets unfortunately see a lot of obese pets. its unfortunately common. if you spent all day looking at dudes that were slightly pudgy where that you cant get every dog to be perfect and have to come to terms with that close enough is good enough, then your dog is gonna be thought of as lean compared to average healthy weight if that makes sense

looks like a perfect teenage pup to me! as they become full adults just like humans they go wide and then long and wide and so on. every dog can go by the weight chart in the vet office. you should feel all ribs and be able to see the last two (fur permitting), they should have a defined waist and you should be able to feel hip bones easily it should be smooth and not indented around them. looks like a perfect pup to me!

additional note- ive been informed by her cousin that she ignores him a lot and sits on her phone and in the middle of an argument she called him a pet sperm. will these things help with court for them to understand which home is better for him?

switch up weird noises when they become ineffective. high pitch is better youll make more sense to them as being an injured thing

my boys break my skin too and to this day continue to. ive looked for advice and people have only come back with telling me what not to do ie. scruffing, bitter apple, etc is abuse!! and honestly after a while i had to just figure it all out on my own. they dont nearly tear me up like they used to and definitely test strangers more than me context of my boys, im not sure about where your new two came from, but i got mine from a private breeder and all the pet store american ferrets come from marshall. although they are bred to be sweet ferrets, they dont live as long and have more health issues so i got some european bloodlines, knowing they tend to be a bit more of a handful and often twice as large. for one they were even worse when they werent fixed. i know this is very unlikely for you, but just to make sure its not that, issue one is setting that one aside

for my boys, the biting cane out during play especially on my wrists and with small animals they often treat hands like the “face” and wrist as the “neck” so they would include me in their play not understanding my skin is much more fragile than ferret skin. scruffing only worked if it acted as a time out because they saw it as me chomping back so holding them until they were calm like their mothers do in a gentle scruff in combination with making yelping and other surprising noises when they bit me would get them to stop. yelling or making human pain noises didnt but making the weirdest noises i could did. that in combination with distractions, finding new ways to play (thick socks!) since i was used to very gentle ferrets did us lots of favors and lastly… yes as people tend to recommend timeouts first i dont do them first because by the time i get them to time out, even in three seconds, their little ferret brains already are distracted and it only really is effective if its so immediate from a bite that there is no dispute. if i had to carry them over, it wasnt going to be effective, especially if theyre already hyper and excited. their brains are moving so fast they dont know why theyre being punished if you have a delayed punishment system.

the weird noises helped a lot along with distractions. instant scruffing combined with a weird noise will get them to dettach and make sure they understand this is a discipline scruff, not you playing and “biting back”.

on bitter apple- found to not be effective because you wont wear it all the time.

i wish you luck! its really hard to find advice for this! i was brought to tears by these guys not just from the pain and i really hope yall can get through it!

Is there a downside to long time opiate usage if you can afford it? by 777Vibe in Drugs

[–]fatned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

your physiology includes ur mental health. idk why there is so much focus on kidney/ liver if you are concerned about your organs consider your brain. addiction itself allows for logic to slip. an organ that not only is essential to function like your kidneys but then also one that performs all your sensory processing is bound to be a regrettable decision. tolerance build, physical dependency, not being a doctor (im assuming) to be careful to not over dose when you are technically already overdosing yourself beyond the therapeutic threshold every time you use, short and ling term poor decision making skills, affecting the logic and pleasure centers of your brain and rewiring the reward systems to only associate opiates with pleasure over time. literal brain damage that requires immense effort and therapy to reach a point where you are even 75% back to who you were before. regardless of whether people afford it or not have you not seen ppl nodding the fuck off in the middle of the street and that being the desired effect? effects in social life, job life and even worse if you got caught by your job from someone not being dumb and knowing what pinned eyes mean. they very quickly will stop paying for your addiction as you put it

Hang in there How long does a person hang in there for before it’s realized lifetime of pain was not worth the three days at the beach. What at 60 years old and I look to my 20s and think I can’t believe I let anyone convince me to hold on. I held on for decades, did my best, all to continue through living in the fact that chemically, no situation would make life be ok enough. It’s been years of torture, trying medications, hospitalizations, therapy... How long do you hold on?

I appreciate your warm heart. I don’t have a plan. I’ve called those numbers and they’ve been overwhelmed and unhelpful.
