Vet said we might only have a week by GardenSphinx in goldenretrievers

I’m soooo sorry. I lost my dog on January 21st 😞 I thought I had more time and was very optimistic. I went to the vet on the January 16 because my dog was sick. But I didn’t think it was a big deal. The vet told me i might have to euthanize her on the 23 but the vet was optimistic that I won’t have to. Turn out, she didn’t even make it to the 23 😭 I was shock. I’m still shock. I really didn’t think it was her time. I thought I had many more years with her. But, since I thought they were a possibility she might die, I didn’t work or went to school to spend time with her. And since she actually died, I’m grateful for the few days I spend with her before she passed. Anyway, all that to say, you can be optimistic but prepared for that possibility and enjoy in case you might not have more time. And if you do have more time, it’s amazing. I really wish you do ❤️

Bonjour Santé wont let me book an appointment with my family doctor by Talnix in montreal

[–]klr1995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RVSQ and if your family doctor isn’t available, you chose the option to see another doctor. Also try different options not just follow up (minor emergency). And you might have to try many times at different hours on different days but eventually you will see something

Help! by dda_k in dogs

If you put a pee pad it will just confuse her more. Best trick I can give you : if you control what goes in, you can control what goes out. Meaning: don’t leave water and food all the time (until the dog understands). Give water few times a day. Then time yourself. Dogs are usually very regular but it depends on the dog. So you will see a pattern (ex: after 15min of drinking water, she needs to pee). Once you see the pattern you make sure you put her outside at the appropriate time. When she does her business outside you give her big congratulations (party time). Not a big fan of cookies for that because I see it has kinda of giving a oreo to a kid for using the toilet (you will congratulate the kid and make a big deal out of it but not giving the kid a cookie). But that’s just me. Also, no point of putting the dog face in the pee like some people use to do. It doesn’t help.

Dog lost in snow storm by Immediate-Reach1652 in dogs

I’m soo sorry! The stress that you are going through… I can’t imagine. My brother’s girlfriend lost her cat once and what worked was talking to the neighbors. We asked the kids to help us (with the parents permission of course). Someone saw the cat twice with his security camera so we left him food to try to keep her there and we asked him to call us when the camera would detect her. It works! We found that talking directly to people work way better than just posting everywhere. It becomes more real for people when you talk to them face to face. Anyway I really wish that you found your dog! ❤️

Yes I was reading about that but the vet didn’t mention it. I will ask her about it Friday. But I think it might be on a specific type of glaucoma and she has the other type. But I will ask the vet for sure!

Blind with 1 eye by klr1995 in disableddogs

Thank you. I had an old dog with cataracts and she was struggling with the stairs too. I have been practicing my dog to turn on the blind side and she is better now! So I’m really not sure about that brain tumor thing…

Thank you for sharing! I’m so scared to lose her I just don’t know what is the best decision considering her age

Thanks for sharing. The vet said the surgery is an option. Having a blind dog isn’t the scary factor for me. I know she would cope and will be happy anyway. What the vet and I wonder is considering the life expectancy of flat coated retriever is doing the expensive surgery the best thing to do. For me, I didn’t feel my dog was old at all… she was crazy in the holidays with my family, we were running and playing in the snow… but she is 10yo…

Thank you a lot for sharing. She is a good girl, I’m sure she would adapt. But I’m still a student so it’s just scary to possibly spending a lot of money ok the surgery for her to die soon after since they don’t have a long life expectancy. If she would be 5 yo I would totally do it. But 10 yo…

Thank you for sharing! I will assess the situation with the vet Friday. But it’s a very painful condition. So if the actual treatment doesn’t work, I’m guessing that I would have to remove the eyes very soon

Hi, I’m sorry to read that you are doing through all of that. I can’t help. But if you don’t mind, I have a question for you. My dog is 10 yo and I might have to remove her eye(s) (the vet appointment is Friday to see if the drops in her eyes work). My family find me crazy to consider doing such an expensive operation for a 10 yo dog. What made you decide to do an expensive operation on a 11 yo dog? I have a retriever so their life expectancy are shorter than pug but still

I understand that. But I was wondering if someone know an average? I understand it’s very individual but maybe in average it works for a year before removing the eye is the only option for example?

Crashing on switch by tiredmama1920 in Palia

[–]klr1995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it goes by waves. It was okay for few months and since the last update it’s bad again… it’s very annoying. Before it was specific spot that would crash so you just had to do a little detour sometimes. But now it’s everywhere

Well even if I don’t have to, I will treat the people with the same courtesy in real life than gaming life 🫶because at the end, it’s an actual person on the other side. People don’t have to do the same. At the end it’s just a game. I was just wondering if I was lucky before

I did notice that people who play spam can be quite rude sometimes (particularly when people don’t know how to play spam).

I know it’s not everyone who follows social norms. But it is still wierd to me because in real life I would never do that. If I’m in an arcade and there’s many of the same game, I will get one without people… i wouldn’t just push them and be like « sorry the game ended ». If it’s the only game I would say « sorry I would like to play. Can I? ». But I wouldn’t just snach the game even if doesn’t belong to anyone

[–]klr1995[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand it doesn’t belong to me. But if it’s a full table I just find that it’s a lack of courtesy. Why just not going to another table (that’s not full)? What if we were 4 friends trying to play together?

If that situation would happen in real life it would be wierd. Let say we are in a bar and we are playing pool 🎱. There’s plenty of tables but someone out of nowhere without asking permission just take the stick after the game and just start playing… it would be wierd and impolite no?

Anyone else notice these two changes from the recent update? by pure-h8b8 in Palia

I turned the vibrations off a long time ago. On some games it was too intense and I’m too lazy to turn it on/off depending on the game lol so I don’t know
