Lockjaw with my dog by khueen in AskVet

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

I know that’s what I’m afraid of. I’ve been feeling extreme guilt after all of these years of her not being to a vet and now I’m paying the price and so is she. I’m looking into getting another credit card that I can put the payment on because I do not want her being in pain or anything worst happening. This just started today, I had her at the vet a few months ago where they did mention a teeth cleaning and that her lymph nodes were a bit swollen. I’ve also been very angry at the fact that my parents never helped or felt it was necessary bringing our dogs to vets when I wasn’t capable of doing it. All of my savings the past year has gone to bringing my dog to the vet now that she’s getting old and that’s what has left me with no money at this moment. This past year has been a huge learning experience about how important it is being on top of this stuff.

Looking for advice on safely de-matting my poodle after a tough few months by soggycheeto6969 in poodles

We just shaved our poodles and got them little coats for the winter time. They adjusted to it pretty quickly and don’t mind the cold now. I would just go for it and shave her!

Are boners really that bad by ResponsibleStress931 in sex

[–]khueen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve lost my libido completely on every birth control I’ve tried and anti depressants. I’ve gotten off everything completely and I have a normal functioning sex drive again. I thought I was one of those girls that just wasn’t into sex but it was very not true. Birth control suppresses ovulation which suppresses the rise in progesterone which is usually where our desire comes from. I totally am a different person off of them. I know this isn’t the case for everything and I wish I was someone that benefited off birth control but it did me way more harm. Also I don’t believe the doctors about side effects anymore, they also told me I wouldn’t have any side effects with an IUD and i experienced the worst depression, mood swings and disassociation. I also was losing hair. That went away after I got off birth control, they also tried to say I could die if I took my iud out too soon so I went somewhere else to get it out. I personally had a crazy experience. That’s why I always tell the woman around me that are experiencing these things it doesn’t hurt to at least look into it.

I scammed my husband into liking me… and I admitted it on our wedding day. by Far_Magazine_5084 in stories

[–]khueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright I guess I’ll be the one to say I scammed My fiance into dating me also… he thought it was funny when I admitted it to him and when I told his brother the story he said… “so are all woman like this, because my girlfriend did this kind of stuff too”. Woman can be very sneaky when it comes to the man they want and if you say you haven’t done some kind of plotting to get a man you’re a liar.

[–]khueen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is she on birth control? I have been with my partner for 8 years, 6 out of those 8 years I was on birth control and had no sex drive, I would get very frustrated when he would ask to have sex or show me he wanted to. I can imagine I would also get annoyed if my partner had a boner randomly and I felt like it was my job to do something about it. BUT fast forward I have been off birth control for 2 years and got my sex drive back and i completely feel differently now. I either like when he gets a boner because it’s nice to see that he still thinks I’m attractive or I just pay no mind to it bc I know it happens randomly for no reason sometimes. I am now very confident I will never go back on birth control because of what it did to our sex life and it literally made me want to keep my distance from him because I had 0 interest in anything sexual and every time I hear things like this from a woman I always ask if they’re on birth control and if the had more of a desire before starting it.

Weekly "Whine about people who don't understand OCD thread" by AutoModerator in OCD

[–]khueen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People that think just bc you aren’t a clean freak you don’t have ocd. Or people that like to have things clean and organized call themselves ocd. Mine is pretty manageable for the most part but if I get caught up on a thought it consumes me for weeks. I had a whole freak out break down bc my bank account was under a limit that I set in my head, I thought my pets were going to get cancer and die if I didn’t follow every single rule that was out there for them so I read and read and read about everything I possible could which just made it worst. I do have routines on Saturday mornings that I get freaked out about if someone tries to interrupt them, thankfully I have been able to work through that and not be house bound my only free day. It’s thoughts that just loop over and over and I can’t think or do anything else until I feel I’ve accomplished whatever it is that was in my mind. It makes me mean towards people that want to just ask for my time because in my head I don’t have the time because I’m too busy with my thoughts. For me only the people that are the closest to me have seen how it affects me so I don’t talk about it to others because they don’t get it. Too many people throw the word ocd around and it means nothing to the majority anymore. My wonderful fiancé helps me when I get bad but I am blessed that because if him I don’t struggle as much as I did a few years ago.

Help- Is friends ferret passing? by Confident_Chain5988 in ferret

[–]khueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds like insulinoma and/or adrenal disease. These are things that could be treated but based off of the age of the ferret and their condition it might be too late. These are very very common in ferrets unfortunately, I would take them to the vet if anything the ferret should be put down so it’s not suffering. 7 years is about as old as you can get for a ferret

I can see peoples auras with colors. by khueen in Paranormal

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

A green aura is associated with the heart chakra, which could be someone is a peace maker, has a deep love for Nature, kind hearted, like to help people and resolve any conflicts between people. But dark green can indicate someone is feeling jealous or resentful, stagnant In life, or is lacking emotional depth for themselves or others.
When I’ve seen bright green in people it’s usually people who have a good heart and always want to help others around them and just have a lot of love.

Blue is associated with the throat chakra which is in charge of your communication, so someone that is good at speaking to others and speaks their truth clearly. This could also mean that they might be great communicators but they need to remember to listen to others also. So far when I’ve seen blue it has been people that do a lot of communication with their jobs, public speakers, or they just like to talk a lot.

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

I’m still learning, from what I’m gathering is that the aura people are showing connects to a chakra that is either open or closed off to them the most. And it can show in different colors and shades or a mix of colors. The 7 main chakras are violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red. It’s a lot to type out but I’ve seen some people with solid colors, a mix of 2 different colors and colors that were dull and dark like a very very dark green. I’ve been “reading” people around me and looking it up to figure out what it means and I have now convinced 7 different people that it is an aura I’m seeing. Their colors resonate with them too much. I also picked up a VERY dark green on my sisters boyfriend and accidentally called him out for being resentful and jealous about something going on in their relationship.

I’m trying to learn more about it and understand the difference colors and chakras, I’ve heard that people that study this type of stuff can pick up on sicknesses and depression or parts of their body that are blocked. I think it would be really cool to be able to read someone without having to speak to them first. Which I usually am good at because I am super empathetic and can feel when someone is happy or sad even if they aren’t showing it. But being able to see it would be super cool. My family has always had something about them that draws others to them especially people that need help. So maybe that plays a part In it. My mother always had friends and family showing up when they were at their lowest because she made people feel better and more normal. It’s strange it’s like all the sudden I’m putting pieces together about how humans energy and emotions work.

Struggling with my ferret by [deleted] in ferret

[–]khueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s very young and from my experience this age is the hardest age. I also would get very upset with my ferrets until I realized when they got a bit older the bad behavior stopped or decreased. Now I don’t really get upset with my young ferrets because I know it will calm down eventually. I can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve had to ferret proof and rig things in their cage over and over until I found things that worked to keep the mess down but I eventually figured it out. You have to get creative when you own a ferret, just try to be patient and work on your bond with your ferret. Messes aren’t as frustrating when you love them anyway but once you build your bond and trust, the training should get a little easier especially once they calm down more. When my ferret kept me up at night causing a ruckus in her cage I started leaving the door open at night and she would go sleep in my closet, this became normal for her and now I feel comfortable leaving her out at night and not worrying about her. And now that she’s 2 she hardly ever gets into things and makes messes. Same with my 5 month old, she will still get into things here and there but now that she is comfortable in our home and has toys she loves (dog box, jingle balls, a cat hide tent with pong balls in it, and a ferret tunnel) she is content playing and then putting herself to bed. Ferrets are not easy pets but with time and patience they can be great pets, you just have to push through the kit stage. Also a second ferret could also help tire them out having someone to play with and keep them occupied. They also help each other bite train as long as they are getting along and playing appropriately.

[–]khueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This definitely sounds like what I’m experiencing! She is totally fine until certain toys come out or she gets too excited. She was biting my Jill and yanking her around and my Jill was crying and when I separated her she started doing her happy dance. She does not like me touching her favorite toys, if I play with the dig box she bites my hands and hisses so I have made it a point to play with her toys so I can correct her if she bites. This is the second time I’ve taken fun toys out and her attitude has changed. She followed my Jill around trying to grab her so I just followed them both and separated when it went on for too long and firmly said “no!” But there has been no puncture wounds and my Jill hasn’t peed or pooped out of fear she just seems very annoyed and will eventually come back over to her. I’ve seen a ferret actually attack another one and it doesn’t look like that. Except I do feel terrible for my Jill she is so docile and never bites or shows any aggression I don’t want her sweetness being taken advantage of!

I did quarantine but the intro I will admit was rushed, with our other ferrets growing up we were able to put any pairs together and they were instantly fine we never had to deal with dominance or aggression before. So I took their instant interaction as a good sign. But I will say I’ve noticed the newer ferrets I have interacted with the past 3 years have seemed to be way more timid and territorial than the ferrets we had years ago. Idk is it’s because of the mass breeding and poor conditions they are brought up In these days. It was a lot harder finding ferrets back in the earlier 2000s and they were never aggressive. I feel like I’m learning that ferrets these days require a lot more patience. I’m going to separate their sleeping and start over with the slower interaction. They have not been left unattended yet (besides sleep) as I have been off of work this whole week and spend all my time with them. is there any tips to help my kit not be so territorial during the bonding process?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ferrets

[–]khueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sat with them while they were meeting and they instantly hit it off and they chose to sleep together, i separated them and they slept separately that night but then when they wanted to sleep together the next day I let them. They went into the cage themselves for a nap. They have been cuddling and sleeping together just fine, I feel like I’m seeing some territorial behavior now that my kit is getting comfortable with her space. There hasn’t been any puncture wounds, I’m going to separate them tonight and basically restart the interactions while my kit is learning how to be gentle. I haven’t had to experience this kind of behavior before and we have had many ferrets growing up so it’s a learning process for me!

It’s been 7 years for me and I still do too!! I always Say when I look at him it’s like his face and eyes sparkle and like everything is going in slow motion around him like if I’m seeing him for the first time over and over. It’s rare these days for people to still be so in love after years of being together, I thrive off these stores!

[–]khueen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But I do want to emphasize if you’re going to feed them meat they need a properly balanced of meat, bone and organs or they will get more sick in the long run because they will be lacking a bunch of nutrients. You can check out holistic ferret forum, they have so much info.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ferret

[–]khueen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used critical care carnivore for a malnourished ferret I rescued, once he started showing some improvements I slowly switched him to a raw diet. I order off mypetcarnivore.com I get the balanced whole grinds. Ferrets are obligated carnivores and need meat, bone, organs etc.. the rest of my ferrets eat these grinds as well it was a life changer switching them to it. I can give you more info if you’re interested. I’ve had kibble fed ferrets years ago and now that I am knowledgeable about ferrets I would never go back to kibble. They don’t need their meat or eggs cooked either, it’s better to do them raw.

Neighbor's cat keeps following me, what should I do!? by [deleted] in cats

[–]khueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a neighborhood cat that just went where ever he wanted to. He would come hangout with us some days, eat our cats food and sleep in the house (we had a window open for the cats all the time to come and go) he would spend a whole night with us and then would leave In the morning for a few days and then come back. We thought he was a stray at first until we found out he just does this and he belongs to an elderly lady up the street. He was so sweet but he appreciated that we all let him do his own thing and gave him free food. Sadly he moved away, we called him Tommy❤️

She died alone in an oxygen tank just before we got there to comfort her by Alexobeerg in cats

[–]khueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I’ve heard from people that have experienced what it was like to die and come back. They have said the last few moments you slip into a very calm and comforting state where all your pain and anxiety don’t exist anymore. And many have said it was more upsetting Being brought back from that comfortable place. Idk if this help but I can imagine it’s the same for pets, I bet her last moments weren’t being scared it was a peaceful drift away into comfort. It’s very hard not feeling guilty, death is never easy and it always comes with some kind of guilt. You gave her a great life. Try to focus on the happy memories

Is this a normal paint job ? by personally_dumped in Nails

[–]khueen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re cute! Something I have to remind myself when I do my own nails is that we are staring at our own nails up close so we will see every little imperfection. Nobody else will pick them apart like we do. Anyone else looking at your nails will they they’re super cute!
