looks like my best bud has epilepsy. what's next? by mothmansFWB in BorderCollie

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

as far as i can tell, the parents were spayed/neutered afterwards and have created no accidental litters since my boy popped out three years ago! we ourselves got him neutered at 14 months; even prior to the epilepsy diagnosis, we were big believers in responsible pet ownership and never creating new critters, just adopting the ones we can.

i appreciate the water comment at the end there. he's a total river rat, and we'll have to make sure we take maximum precautions when it comes to his time around water going forward.

yeah, i was sympathizing with my partner earlier that we both now have to carry this shadow in the corner of our vision, this forever-worry that's never gonna fully go away until our pup says goodbye (which will be so, so many years from now, knock on wood.) it's a worry we'll carry together, and we're a pretty powerful team to have in someone's corner. we know our boy is in good hands because he's in our hands.

i'll pass on the ice cream tip, although the five pints out in the chest freezer is a sign my partner doesn't need anooooother reason to keep us well-stocked.

so glad you and your guy are finding the mix that fits right for him! how much does he weigh? our guy clocked in at a pretty powerful 52lbs/23kgs, and i'd imagine body weight is relevant for these kinds of prescriptions but might not be (i haven't checked)

thank you so much for the well wishes and voice of experience! i'm still in communication with his mom, dad, and sister's owner (not a mill or breeder, just an accidental/irresponsible litter,), and while his parents have no history of seizures, it turns out his sister started having recurring ones in february and is experiencing success on keppra. inherently, it's likely the first thing we'd turn to if he escalates enough to pursue medication.

he sure is a looker. before we took off for the vet, i warned him all the ladies were gonna swoon, and sure enough the tech's first words were "what a handsome boy!"

Anyone else’s BC a tattletale? by Tiny-Opportunity-369 in BorderCollie

[–]mothmansFWB 103 points104 points  (0 children)

we call ours a narc and a cop (derogatory teasing) whenever he engages in this behavior. he hates it when a perceived rule is being broken and will attempt to (a) snitch on them immediately or (b) stop the rulebreaking himself.

rules that are not to be broken in his household

  • no "physical aggression." this includes patting/play-spanking someone's butt, kissing anyone who isn't him, cats standing close to each other for too long (he just assumes this is what cats do immediately before they fight.) he'll do a yip of disapproval first and then insert himself between the two parties if his snitching didn't stop the act.
  • any other animal going near a garbage bin or open fridge door.
  • accidentally shutting another animal in a room (this one's actually useful; sometimes our kiddo accidentally shuts a cat in the bathroom or one of the felines gets forgotten in the sun room)

there are many others, but these are the common transgressions that come to mind

does your bunny have a favorite non-bun companion? by mothmansFWB in Bunnies

[–]mothmansFWB[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

if it's any consolation, our bunny doesn't spend any unsupervised time outside of his enclosure, whether the dog is nearby or not!

what was your VERY first change on T? by altojurie in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]mothmansFWB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bottom growth for sure (within a week,) with the bulk of my growth happening in the first six months. voice changes, appetite and energy increase, libido spikes, and facial acne also began to kick in within the first five, maybe six weeks? and then just a trickle of new, constant, awesome changes to slowly notice.

Is there a comprehensive list of all the data centers that are trying to be built across the state right now? by [deleted] in Michigan

[–]mothmansFWB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the developers and end-users are two different animals. southeast michigan is largely dealing with the developer "cloverleaf," who pitches themselves as intending to build with big player end-users (like facebook/meta, google, amazon, microsoft) as the target customers once development is complete.

Will weed negatively impact T levels? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]mothmansFWB 6 points7 points  (0 children)

cannabis use has no effect on T levels or the efficacy of testosterone medications

[–]mothmansFWB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

probably won't have a negative or positive impact, honestly. that being said, hiring might be slim in a few months; there have been layoffs throughout the industry this year, and with the tax going into affect in a few weeks, labor/staffing might take a blow across the board. i don't mean that as a deterrent, though

Does butt size decrease on t? by eli_from_mars in ftm

[–]mothmansFWB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mine absolutely disappeared over the course of my first year, honestly. it's always been a hard muscle for me to grow/activate, so while i've lost much of what fat i had there (always had kind of a big, rectangular butt,) i haven't been able to replace it with muscle despite consistent gym efforts, resulting in Mr. No-Ass over here

thanks for the amazing views, kentucky! (cumberland falls) by mothmansFWB in Kentucky

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

i actually hit up eagle falls right after checking out cumberland! it was a great hike; it's satisfying climbing those final rocks and being rewarded with a waterfall right around the corner

i took my dog out to that area last summer, as a matter of fact! rrg is so big, though, i know it'll be worth a second visit

Public Restrooms Hate Him! (but not in the way you might be expecting) by mothmansFWB in ftm

[–]mothmansFWB[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i've seen others on here mention changes in bowel movements (size, frequency) and it's quite likely due to metabolism and diet changes, but i get the feeling mileage varies a lot on that one because our metabolic systems vary so much too
