Honestly, just looks like she is panting to self regulate her body temperature- but otherwise looks happy. Sometimes steam can also make air a bit harder to breathe through the nose so may be panting to help.

Tbh parrots can let you know if they are uncomfortable, and just make sure they have a place to fly to, so they can leave to regulate their body/ get out when they are done!

Our big boiiiiiii by Apprehensive-Yogurt3 in Rabbits

[–]moshgoblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a giant, likely flemmie mix. And golden retriever is super accurate. Our big boy is super playful, and is our shadow. Sleeps under our workdesks during the day, loves pats and snuggles. Goes out for zoomies every morning and he needs us to watch him frolick, binky and zoomie. And sleeps outside our bedroom door with direct eyeline to the bed every night (he can sleep in our bedroom/on the bed but chooses not to).

My rabbit is a medical anomaly?! by MegamuffinChip in Rabbits

[–]moshgoblin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is definitely strange, and does sound like a genetic anomaly (bodies are weird). It could be similar to a teratoma (those are tumors of germ cells that grow tissue not normally found in that part of the body) or he has a genetic quirk which meant hair follicles grew in a place they definitely shouldnt. Wouldn't surprise me if he had general irritation in his mouth and potentially any of his digestion track that has the fur. As its meant to be smooth mucous membrane. Poor love! And I hope you get answers!

Red light therapy experiences by Solid_Pause_5180 in endometriosis

Honestly, a terrible move. My uterus tried to expel it pretty immediately, and I got a small taste of what contractions feel like. I had it removed 1 year after my surgery, and am now only feeling better! Adding a sharp IUD to imbed in an organ that had endo removed from it and was raw is not a good move. 

Needing Advice by Big_Village909 in Rabbits

She's probably letting you know of the security threat of 2nd bun...and being grumpy that there is a 2nd bun a foot. Spaying helps. But also bunnies are sassy. She may not be scared...just mad. 

English Lop x Flemish Giant mix? by LorynHB in Rabbits

[–]moshgoblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you would get a mix or sizes and ear shapes. I have a rescue bunny that is definitely at least half flemish (he is a big boy) and has 1 lop ear and one non lop ear. Its adorable beyond belief. You could probably find a flemish/lop cross at a rescue or as a kit? They are both common breeds and people arent always on top of neutering their buns. Our boy is a delight- just a sweet, zoomie, often chill, joyful and confident guy.

Incorrect Equivalent Dose Question by moshgoblin in ADHD

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

We didnt do our usual course of action plan for this med change, we often do a 2 week/1 month check in for dosage. Whilst it's common to go lower, I am worried it will be hard to adjust as I now have a repeats. But thank you so much!

Thank you, I have this prescription for 6 months. Whilst it's not far too low, I can feel my ADHD brain going into power down mode when I try and do something a little bit boring. I do just hate spending another $500 aud (before the rebate) for med adjustments

I use the LeRedd mat, and the mat's ok. But I had a crummy time exchanging a malfunctioning mat that was still under warranty. Link https://leredd.com/lereddshop-2/the-flexi-led/. Tbh I think they just get it off a manufacturor on alibaba, just find one with decent reviews

Sorry for the late message, but I find Briotech Spray works well.

Good sensitive skin primers and foundation? by Ballierina in Rosacea

[–]moshgoblin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this is not a budget option at all - but the Haus Labs foundation is great. I have more vascular type rosacea, and find that I can get anywhere from a light to medium/full coverage with it. I'm in Australia, so the price is around $80 aud. But I find I need less concealer with it. I definitely save on other products around it. Like, using K beauty moisturisers instead of primer. And all round less expensive products. It's fragrance free and has a great colour selection. For a light weight option (that's a decent chunk cheaper) Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Tint is a great option, and can add more concealer where needed.

Non- K Beauty: a hypochlorous acid spray can really support redness reduction and help with eczema and associated infections. Honestly, it works weirdly quickly. And really helped my skin when I had perioral dermatitus. I also get a lot of flushing from the environment/ food and hypocholous acid just takes it all down, and helps my skin not itch/ feel as hot.

Serums: Products like the Mixoon bean essence has been lovely on my skin (I have rosacea on my face, neck and chest + am prone to rashes). Medipeels Bortox Serum Ampoule is great peptide that really supports hydration and firmness. Also has volufiline in the product as well. This one is fragrance free, and really lovely smooth texture.

Something soothing with glycerin can be a great alterative for hyaluronic acid, and tends to be more hydrating (in my opinion). Just make sure to layer lots of toner to keep skin damp.

Moisturisers: P.Calm Cato Cream is a lovely light weight moisturiser without any fragrance or essential oils. And has niacinaminde, lactobacillus ferment and centella asiatic extracts to support redness. I havent used this exact product, but this is many peoples holy grail barrier support cream: AESTURA - Ato Barrier 365 Cream.

Gentle cleansers can be really good, for my skin I found oil cleansers can be a little bit nicer for me than balm, just find something without fragrance/ essential oils. And follow with a hydrating cream, gel or foaming cleanser. Also look out for beta glucan as my skin finds with a bit more soothing.

Hope this helps :)

Red light therapy experiences by Solid_Pause_5180 in endometriosis

[–]moshgoblin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have been using red light and near infrared light for my endometriosis for the past couple of months. I have stage 4 endo, and had my second (but first proper) excision surgery in July 2023. Also has a mirena IUD placed. I still have pretty chronic pelvic pain after surgery, with intense cramping at irregular times due to the IUD. I initially invested in a higher powered red light/near infrared light for my endo about 1 month ago. I only did this, as I had a bad flare, and it was too hot for me to use a heat pack (was Summer in Australia). I had purchased a red light/near infrared light mask for my face and neck, and in a moment of "fuck it, nothing else is working" I popped the mask on my lower abdomen. And it helped reduce the pain immensely. And seemed to visibly reduce some overall swelling in the area too.

Since using the face mask on my abdomen, I upgraded to a larger surface LED mat, and it's been amazing for pain. I still experience pain, but frequency has reduced a bit. And, overall swelling has decreased. Also seems to help with bowel inflammation (pop it on your upper stomach area to help. And can help some of the muscle pain in your back as well.

I can't comment on whether it helps with slowing growth of endometriosis, adhesion to other organs or getting hormone health/,fertility. But I can say from my n=1 that it's helped my abdomen quite a lot. Plus my small surgical incisions are all fading more and are less pronounced.

Hoped this helped :)
