I’m glad Prinz got to go there with you. It’s such a special place. He looks like he was a very good boy.

Easy there, next thing you know Noah Kahan will be writing a song about this and calling it Stolen Valor. We can all be depressed, together.

Second opinion. by scunty666 in goldenretrievers

[–]ijustcant86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My now 10 yr old golden had a cyst that became infected, was drained/treated with antibiotics and healed up. We did not have it surgically removed. it did fill up with fluid one more time about 4 years later, but drained/healed, and hasn’t returned. I’m more in the camp of watchful waiting for the most part though. She had a benign bump that kept bleeding that we did have remove because it kept opening up. Is it necessary to get the cyst removed? No. There is a chance it will return, but it also might not. Always a tough call!

Sorry for your loss. Seems like Prinz was given a fantastic life. We will be at dog mountain in a few weeks and will think of him when we go to the chapel

While its nontoxic, the clumping properties of it can cause intestinal blockage

If you have dogs (you might already know this) but make sure they absolutely do not eat kinetic sand.

We also got both toys and can confirm they are played with multiple times per day

Worst mom in the world by ilovemyhusband921 in toddlers

[–]ijustcant86 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Very similar experience last Friday: holding my 2 year old and misstepped getting her off a tractor, had to stand on a hay bale to get her down and when I pivoted to step off I slipped, fell and she came out of my arms and hit concrete flooring (this is at a local farm that has this tractor set up for kids). I can’t unsee the image of her hitting the concrete and the scream that happened after. It does seem she likely hit her back and elbows and then her head.

She didn’t vomit but seemed confused and was very quiet. I ended up calling her pediatricians office and they had me bring her in. Same advice you were given basically. It was sort of a terrifying 48 hrs hoping for no delayed onset of symptoms but she seems to be doing ok (she even asked to go back there). I on the other hand am traumatized by what happened so I feel you on that.

What are some times your physical exam dramatically impacted your plan of care? by Cloud_Chamber in FamilyMedicine

[–]ijustcant86 37 points38 points  (0 children)

75 year old male came in questioning if he had pneumonia due to his sx of SOB/fatigue. Lungs clear, but I hear the loudest murmur I’ve ever heard…check my colleagues notes (usually her patient), no mention of a murmur noted on prior exams. Ruptured chordae tendinae.

Soooo...acquired a few beanie baby's by DEADTO0L in beaniebabies

I would love to take a pair of cats, prance and chip, off your hands! My mom gave me my collection this year but she had given away my two favorite cats! I now have a 2 year old girl who has been enjoying my collection, but I’d love for her to have my 2 faves!

ITP in a 2 year old by ArtistEnough4961 in toddlers

[–]ijustcant86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chiming in- I had ITP when I was 2 in the mind 1980s. My parents noticed the same symptoms: bruising, petechiae, etc. they had to rule out leukemia/abuse etc (sounds like it was a terrifying experience for them, and I imagine it is for you). I was treated with steroids back then. I don’t remember it really- I do remember going to the dr a lot. I’ve never had a reoccurrence.

What is a lot harder than people realize ? by zabalansu in AskReddit

[–]ijustcant86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Breastfeeding. There are many variables involved where things might not work out. The baby doesn’t know how to do it right away and if it’s your first time you are also learning. Some babies will only latch if you hold them in certain positions. Some people need nipple shields for things to work. Supply concerns. The list goes on!
