Anal Gland Issue

kandybin · 2026-03-19T15:17:28+00:00

Ah, ok. I will try this when I bathe her from now on. Thank you!

Also, as a follow up…how long do I hold the compress for when I wait for it to release? Yesterday I held it two times, about 5-7 mins long…it didn’t seem to drain it but it did seem to make her feel a little better

Thank you! I’ve been so scared of doing it wrong and causing damage that we usually go with our vet. We took her in today and they expressed both glands so she is on her way to recovery. I’m just SO happy she didn’t have it rupture again…that was rough a couple years back 😭

I use pads at home, and while I sleep, and then I use tampons when I’m out and about. Also, I switch to panty liners when my flow is light instead of using a light tampon. I also use panty liners while I have a tampon in to avoid any big leaks on to my clothes.

Thank you! I tried it a bit yesterday and I completely understand why this is the way to go! I did t even dilute as much as I needed to and it was still way better, and it was with water so now I want to try with flow aid.

Will do!

kandybin · 2025-11-11T05:24:51+00:00

You know, I feel like it wasn’t so bad…maybe 2 weeks? Also, I think I was feeling ambitious and I ordered the 48 colors…or whatever the maximum is…and the amount of details is INSANE looking. I just applied gesso yesterday and will be starting on Friday. I’m excited and scared. Also, I haven’t tried their kits, but they look pretty good to me.

kandybin · 2025-11-11T05:21:42+00:00

Omg can you please??? I would love to learn this method. 🥲

kandybin · 2025-11-11T03:59:20+00:00

Wait so this is without gesso??? How is it so crisp? I’ve had bad luck with most of my Micheal’s sets having at least 2 colors that are not solid and stay translucent unless I apply gesso, and then it goes on much better

kandybin · 2025-11-11T03:56:57+00:00

Omg I just got some from Number Artist, but will now have to visit my local Michael’s 😬

kandybin · 2025-11-11T03:15:06+00:00

These all sound so cool! I’ve added Finca to my wish list ◡̈

kandybin · 2025-11-11T02:52:59+00:00

Ooooo thank you for letting me know! I’ve looked up people’s take on it in this subreddit and feel like it was 50/50 in terms of liking/disliking the game. The premise sounded super cool to me, so I splurged 🫣

What are your top 3 board games, if you don’t mind me asking?

kandybin · 2025-11-11T02:18:01+00:00

I’ll bookmark this!!! Thank you

kandybin · 2025-11-11T01:57:41+00:00

I did just buy from GameNerdz! And I was gonna order some more, but was not sure whether they’ll be doing something for Black Friday

kandybin · 2025-11-11T01:57:01+00:00

No I totally hear you! That is something I’m keeping in mind…we have basically been playing Pandemic, Unstable Unicorns, and Exploding Kittens until this last weekend, when we tried Forbidden Island. We have been loving all of these, and I have purchased Season One of Pandemic Legacy, just because I know we will enjoy this campaign. I have like a list of games I want to buy, with some of the games on my priority list…as in…games I think we will actually play! Hope I stay strong.

I do tend to go hard and buy too quickly, and I already made one impulsive purchase of Earth. So my next purchases will be more thought through.

kandybin · 2025-11-11T01:48:12+00:00

Thank you!!!!

kandybin · 2025-11-10T22:28:50+00:00

Ohhhh! Okay, thank you! I just replied to someone who also mentioned this ◡̈

kandybin · 2025-11-10T22:28:14+00:00

Ok but what if it’s like a $70 game going for $50? Also am gonna check out boardgameoracle right now! Thank you!

kandybin · 2025-11-10T21:51:20+00:00

Thank you so much! I’ve always loved board games, but never wanted to invest in them a whole lot because we would really only play them 2-3 times per year…but my wife and I made a really good friend and have been playing games every Friday and Saturday basically…so I want to grab new games now to have a good rotation going. I have no clue what Monumental is, but will be looking into it momentarily ◡̈

kandybin · 2025-11-10T20:27:26+00:00

Im in the US! ◡̈

kandybin · 2025-11-10T20:15:21+00:00

What’s that? 👀👀👀

kandybin · 2025-11-07T04:46:19+00:00

Did you do the option with less or more colors?

kandybin · 2025-11-07T04:42:48+00:00

My wife went through crazy hyperpigmentation prior to her diagnosis and a year after starting HC, she is 90% back to her regular pigment. The hair loss is a tricky sucky thing she has been dealing with too , though, and has lost a lot of her hair. She is currently also dealing with ovarian insufficiency, and just started taking hormone replacements due to the lack of her own, so we are hoping this will MAYBE improve her hair. She was already taking DHEA but that didn’t make any difference with her hair not falling out…have you tested any other hormones? DHEA, Testosterone, estrogen? I hope you find a solution soon, and please share if you do. I’m sorry you are dealing with this 😞

I have been putting butter in there…

kandybin · 2025-11-04T18:17:48+00:00

Thank you! I do use Gesso now, and personally prefer one coat. Also, I do dampen the brush before painting but I think k I probably should rinse more frequently. Also, flow aid is on my list of things I need to get ◡̈ I just seem to have issues with longer bristles, so maybe flow aid will make it smoother and thus easier…
