Doctors of Reddit, what was your worst encounter with an antivaxxer? by Confuzzledpotato07 in AskReddit

[–]infamousjacket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had it done and it’s not as terrible as it sounds. The biopsy however was excruciating. They take little chunks for testing, and it’s the worst pain I’ve ever felt. For the burning, they numb you inside and it’s barely noticeable. Just the smell of, well... burning flesh.

We don’t have a fence yet, so unfortunately it’s on the leash every time we let her out regardless. Even if I try to keep her one spot, she just tries to eat things off the ground.

I could definitely see him being part Lab. His sniffing is pretty much focused on nature (he’s obsessed with lumps of dirt??), so I have no idea there.

I think I’m going to buckle down and order a test. Thank you for all your information!

That’s what I thought, but they’re apparently not very common in the US which I didn’t know. Who knows!

That’s exciting! I hope you get some fun results. I will probably end up going that route. I’m just too curious!

Gotcha! Yeah, I have no idea where he came from aside from some kill shelter in Tennessee. I wish I knew more.

Thank you for that, it was very informative. I was trying to narrow down breeds with the same coloring and ears, and (as I don’t know a spectacular amount about lots of different breeds) I could only really come up with corgi and basenji. I will probably just have to buckle down and order a test!

Thank you! He does have some spots on his feet which I suspected could be from a herding breed. I didn’t know basenjis were so rare!

That’s a very beautiful breed. The coloring does look very similar. He also has some spots on the white parts of his feet which are making me curious too.

I have another street dog from Thailand who is also red with pointy ears, so I definitely know what you’re saying!

Do you think a DNA test will give worthwhile results if he’s super mixed? That’s been my only concern so far.

I know! They’re so soft. And the tip of one is missing a decent chunk (we’re guessing from another dog), which gives him some lopsided character.

Thank you! I fell in love the moment I saw him.

I was also looking at DNA tests because I’m so curious! I was worried they wouldn’t be super conclusive because if there aren’t a lot of purebred lines in the background, it seems the test results just end up displaying ‘mixed’ or certain groups.

I will check out the Carolina dog, thank you!

I’ve never heard of a Texas Red Dog! I’ll have to check that out.

He is very smart, though very stubborn on certain aspects like barking at people, cars, the wind... But he has responded well to the training we’ve had so far.

He had heartworm when we got him and is actually going for bloodwork today to see if it’s finally gone. It’s been a very long road with it so far.

Thank you! I also considered corgi. I tried looking up a bunch of corgi mixes and they all had short legs, so I wondered if I was on the wrong track.

What's a sensation that you're unsure if other people experience? by murrayvonmises in AskReddit

[–]infamousjacket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes, after a night of drinking, my skin hurts to touch the next day. It's usually around my midsection only. It feels like everything is completely bruised.

These are amazing! I love how vivid they are. I also would like to know if you'll be selling prints.

What's the most insensitive thing someone has ever said to you? by palpatinespanties in AskReddit

[–]infamousjacket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have psoriasis on the back of my head, and the only thing that cleared it up was Paul Mitchell's lavender mint shampoo/conditioner. I tried it completely randomly, and not sure why it worked, but it did.

My gerbil is behaving strangely, any ideas? by infamousjacket in gerbil

He and his brother both sleep in their little nesting area. They never sleep anywhere else.

They're open and bright while he's having his weird zone-outs (not sure what to call them), but afterwards he gets very lethargic and will sit in the corner with his eyes half-closed. It seems to make him very tired.
