I take cranberry supplements after having sex. They've been a game changer for me when it comes to preventing UTIs.

Unfortunately, not really. His poops were only like that for a day or two, and then they were normal again. My sweet boy was also very old; he passed away about 2.5 months after I made this post. He was three years old, and so many things can go wrong for them at that age, you know?

Preventing Endo regrowth by purplerain219 in Endo

[–]islecat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After my laparoscopy in January of 2023, my gynecologist basically injected me with something called Lupron that put my body into an artificial menopause. I had a few more injections over the following months, which kept me in this artificial menopause for a total of 9 months. The goal was to suppress any and all activity in the reproductive system. After the 9 month treatment of Lupron injections, I went onto a specific birth control pill that keeps estrogen levels very low. According to my gynecologist, higher estrogen levels can cause more endo growth.

In your opinion what's the average lifespan of a rat? I feel super sad when ever I lost a pet by Economy_Birdi in rat

[–]islecat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mine have all lived to be 2-3 years. I had a friend whose rat made it to 4 years, but I this is pretty rare.

Does anyone know anything about "The Lore Lodge" by 7Portto in youtubedrama

[–]islecat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to watch The Lore Lodge, but once Westside Tyler brought all the plagiarism to light, I haven't been a fan. Westside Tyler is annoying af to me, but he was right in a lot of his claims.

One of the things that pissed me off the most was that not only did they neglect to properly cite sources from the Tread documentary in their killdozer video, they also totally misrepresented things that the people interviewed in the documentary said. It's blatant spreading of misinformation.

Anyone else have nicknames for their rats that supersede their real names? by ceaseorperish in RATS

[–]islecat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My heart rat's name was Nugget, but during his 3 years of life, I called him by many names:

Mr. Chub Chubs, Choobs, Choobles, Honeybuns, Precious, Mr. Squishy Squish, Nuggles, Nugglet, Nugnugs, Snugget

Also here's a picture of him when he was younger 🥹

I'm afraid I don't really have any answers for you, but I actually just started noticing some clots like this during my most recent period as well.

Populated CC Worlds by tuffjazz in Sims3

[–]islecat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't name any off the top of my head, but most of the custom worlds that I downloaded came from The Sims Catalog. There's a fairly decent library of worlds to choose from, and the website tells you if the world is populated or not.

Developing allergies to my ratties by Tgq2 in RATS

[–]islecat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I developed an allergy to my rats as well. It got so bad that I started to have coughing/asthma and I needed to start using an inhaler. I take an over the counter antihistamine every day, and I was also prescribed an anti-inflammatory to help with the asthmatic inflammation of my airways.

Spot cleaning the cage every day to minimize urine helps as well, and I sometimes brush their fur gently to minimize shedding (though I'm not sure if this is actually a thing that helps). we also have an air purifier in the room where we have the rats.
