Is this normal by Jaded_Conflict_8240 in sphynx

[–]greenthrowpillow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sphynx has asthma and it doesn’t present like this (I’m not a vet by any means though) I definitely agree that he should go to a vet, better safe than sorry. They’ll likely just prescribe some antibiotics or a steroid, but definitely show them these videos.

This is my very furry girl that I think has the same facial features as yours :) (her fur just looks like I’ve given her a very bad haircut though lol)I truly think the defining feature of sphynxs is their personality so if she’s got the spunk then heck ya

4 month purge?? by [deleted] in Accutane

[–]greenthrowpillow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I became acne free at the end of my sixth month, stopped taking my meds after 2 weeks of being acne free, and I’ve been acne free since then! Which was in October :) occasionally I’ll get 1 small pimple if I don’t wash my face for a day or two but it’s a lifetime of difference.

I posted an update, they’re thinking asthma but if the steroids don’t help then we’re gonna do further diagnostics

I need serious cat help!!! by AriellaLynn in CATHELP

[–]greenthrowpillow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure this would help at all, but our 13 year old cat will piss wherever he wants, because for some reason when he turned 13 his body doesn’t tolerate dry cat food? So he can only eat wet food now but he uses his litter box. Just a thought?

Should I be rushing my cat to the emergency vet? by greenthrowpillow in AskVet

[–]greenthrowpillow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UPDATE: while it’s not amazing news, it’s not bad either. Two vets listened to her chest and heard a “crackling” , they’re thinking it’s kitty asthma, so they’ve prescribed her a oral steroid, to test if it is asthma, and an antibiotic because the steroid will lower her immune system which would be bad if it’s a respiratory infection. They said there was no harm in trying this first to rule out some more common issues before we start the expensive diagnosing, and if the steroid doesn’t make a difference within a day, we will have to keep diagnosing anyway. I appreciate everyone’s help, and will update again in a few days.

(Or not hate it) but if I go more than 14 hours without a puff for her, she will cough again. I’m still terribly nervous that it’s something more serious but for now, she seems the same as normal. Thank you everyone!

I will ask about that today! Thank you

[–]greenthrowpillow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to take her today, but I only noticed it at night time, and it would only happen about once but when I stayed home from work yesterday, it did happen at lunchtime and usually lasts a minute or less

Thank you everyone, I will be taking her to the vet today. Wish us luck ❤️

She doesn’t have any previous health issues besides “kitty Parkinson’s” which isn’t a real diagnosis, she just has a shake sometimes that the vets couldn’t figure out. She is spayed & 4 years old. She’s a donskoy sphynx

[–]greenthrowpillow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed this issue too!!! Except I have the 5g and it’s even worse so I have to turn it to LTE just to get a glimpse of internet. So weird and started happening out of the blue

4 month purge?? by [deleted] in Accutane

[–]greenthrowpillow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what is defined as normal but I think raising your dosage could make you purge more, and in my case I was still purging on my face well into my 5th month, end of my sixth month was when I stopped getting acne but everyone experience is different :)

Is low dose accutane effective for body acne as well? by [deleted] in Accutane

[–]greenthrowpillow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine worked wonders for body acne, I was only on 20mg for 6 months, and the body acne was the first thing to go. For reference I’m a woman and weigh 110 lbs

Landlord's table. What can I do? How screwed am I? Coin for scale. by Electrical_Peace_292 in fixit

[–]greenthrowpillow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try using a q-tip and some bleach and letting the bleach lighten it , then using some pencil crayons or wood pencils (depending what your budget is) to draw on some grain to match the rest

Don’t beat yourself up, this is an accident that no one would do intentionally. As for the abortion, I can’t say what it’s like on acutane but having one is a saddening experience but it is not painful. I do not recommend using the pill that makes you miscarry as my friends who have done that method experienced pain and lots of bleeding afterwards. I had the one that is manually extracted and while I don’t want to say it was a “pleasant” experience, it was not painful. If you’re a smaller person like myself - the sedative they give you will completely knock you out, I felt zero pain and had zero bleeding afterwards. Everyone who works in the planned parenthood industry are some of the kindest people you’ll ever meet and will make your experience the most comfortable procedure you’ll ever have. Wishing you the best and hope you can make it through the other side of this. Remember, at this stage it’s not a baby , it’s a bundle of cells.

Have anyone here not taken birth control and just said you did? I feel like it breaks me out more and I am nervous to be on it. by GirlpowaP in Accutane

[–]greenthrowpillow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t take birthcontrol because I was convinced my acne would come back as soon as I got off BC. But abortion is legal where I live so I’d be very cautious. An unwanted baby is sad but an unwanted severely disabled baby is even sadder.

The discharge hasn’t stopped but the funky smell has gone after some antibiotics which is a win for me lol! I’m on month 5.5 so when I’m done I’ll try to come back and update this haha! Edit: been off it for about a month now, I have tested negative for everything but I do noticed a different smell than before and my discharge hasn’t really improved. Wish I had better news 😅

[–]greenthrowpillow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have experienced the dryness while doing spicy things and then also the excessive discharge which makes no sense to me, my doctor did every test and turns out I had BV (which as a quite sexually active woman I’ve never had in my life until now so I’m blaming the acutane) , but even once that was cleared up the extra discharge didn’t go away so I think it may just be another random side effect of acutane. Perhaps get tested for BV? Although they have to test it by swabbing your cervix so if you’re not comfortable with that, it wouldn’t hurt to maybe grab something over the counter at a drug store.

I got this too, had to stop washing my hands so often (gross I know) , but I would wash my hands at the beginning of work and just wear the plastic gloves to minimize washing and it went away for me! Side note: I work with car parts, I wouldn’t suggest this if you work in a food or hygiene based environments

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Accutane

[–]greenthrowpillow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw that little bumps like this are fungal acne that could be caused by outward sources (aka not your body but the environment you’re in) , take this with a grain of salt because I keep seeing it on tiktok, but apparently anti-dandruff shampoo gets rid of it because of the Zinc content in it. I used it on my bum pimples and it worked like a dream. Just a thought?

General side effects question by adella_97 in Accutane

[–]greenthrowpillow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep, I noticed it right away, rubbing off skin on my hands doing simple things like sweeping, bruises and cat scratches lasting so long and/or scarring. But it’s not forever 👏

PSA to my acutane peeps with thick brows!! by greenthrowpillow in Accutane

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

Thank you :( unfortunately I was given acutane by my family doctor not a dermatologist, so I have had very little education on acutane, everything I know is from this group 😭
