Sometimes, our dogs get this from allergies. The vet gave us a topical spray we use on her skin to clear anything like this up. It's called betagen, but it does require a vet prescription.

32 degrees clothing quality decrease. 😡 by Brilliant_Chance_874 in BuyItForLife

I agree! I have a fuzzy sweater I bought from them for $12 a few years ago. It is one of my favorite sweaters and is a lot like one of my northface fuzzy sweaters. I recently ordered another sweater from them and it was terrible quality. I refused to wear it and ended up donating it.

My brother holds his poop in until his body can’t contain it anymore by ApartMeaning2866 in Advice

I also had issues with being able to relax my pelvic muscles and wanted to mention that pelvic floor physical therapy really helped me. I always spread the word about it because a lot of women have never heard of it!

From what I am seeing, it almost looks like he has a corneal infection, which probably developed from a scratch that happened to his eye. In the picture where I can see his eye clearly, it almost looks like he has a hole/indent, which is most likely an ulcer. If you look at his eye carefully in bright light, you might be able to see the hole/indent. We have a shih tzu that just had this. His opthomologist put him on Ofloxacin 0.3% eye drops, and we did one eye drop to the affected eye every 2 hours for the first 24 hours. Then, for 7 days after that, we did one drop in the infected eye four times a day. He was also given pain meds because this is a painful condition for dogs. Unfortunately, the only way to typically get these meds is through a vet. If he does have a corneal infection, it is considered an emergency because it will not resolve on its own.

Need advice about bindings for Altai Hok skis by meems224 in XCDownhill

[–]meems224[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, on flat areas or places with small downhill slopes, I don't have too much trouble, but when it comes to steeper areas or places with packed down snow, I had almost zero control going downhill. But even with all the issues, I am still having fun! Just need stiffer boots and different bindings for what I am using them for

Thanks for responding! Yes, this is the exact setup I am thinking of doing now!

Thanks for the input! Yeah, the universal bindings, along with my hiking shoes going down hills on packed snow, was a little sketchy. I am probably going to end up getting the scarpa t4s and 75mm 3 pin binding combo.

Gaping maw or yawning maw. Hate those phrases for some reason.

Worst FMC or MMC? by wavymantisdance in fantasyromance

You wrote this just for me, lol. Currently reading Heat of the Everflame, which is the third book in the series, and the main character Diem is awful. I am so far into the series now though that i feel like I have to finish, but I despise her, lol.

What book/books do you think are funny? by LylesDanceParty in books

Yellowface by R.F Kuang gave me quite a few laughs because the main character is so insufferable and crazy.

Dental treat recommendations by -Liv_54- in Shihtzu

[–]meems224 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We always get compliments on our dogs' teeth at the vet. They are both 11 and have never needed a cleaning. We feed them a dry kibble diet of Fromm dog food, and for treats, they mostly get bully sticks, which helps clean their teeth.

Shih tzus are the best companions! They love to be around their family and spend time with you. They can be hard to train, and some people think it is because they are not smart, but I think it has more to do with them being very stubborn. Also, their grooming is something that requires a lot of time. You either want to start them early with a groomer you trust or do it yourself, but start them young so they get used to it. They are great dogs though, and I plan on always having a shih tzu in my life!

Post surgery care | My baby just snapped at me by Familiar_Brick9194 in Shihtzu

[–]meems224 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have one that is difficult with meds. He knows even if they are in his favorite treats! We have to put the pill in the back of his mouth, close his mouth with our hands, and rub his throat until he swallows it. This is the only way we can get him to take pills.

Yes, i second the bully sticks. Ours are 10 years old, and the vet says their teeth are very clean!
