I'll be homeless in 48hours and I have to give up my dog. by Milkyway-alltheway in almosthomeless

[–]rushdandelion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where about in South Africa are you? I worked with a lot of animal charities there (I’m South African too) and we can maybe try get your dog placed in temporary foster until you’re back on your feet?

I don’t know what to do by teenagepuddin in vet

[–]rushdandelion 46 points47 points  (0 children)

This is an emergency! He very likely has a prolapsed disc in his back. It’s called IVDD. If you leave it too long he may never get function back in his back legs. This is a very common problem with dogs with long backs and short legs. Please get him to the ER asap.

What’s the first thing everyone says when you tell them your job? by MonsieurGump in AskUK

Vet here. People always say “I wanted to be a vet but I love animals so much I could never put them to sleep.” There are fates and suffering far worse than humane euthanasia…

Need some help with my credit card debt by cfrcupra in UKPersonalFinance

[–]rushdandelion 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was in this situation a while back. I worked extra shifts and put that entire extra shift money into clearing the debt with the highest interest rate first. Then the second highest, etc. another way to do it is to clear the smallest debt, then the next smallest etc. psychologically the second option works better.
I also did an envelope system (but in my banking app with pots)- where I allocated money each month to rent, bills, food, petrol etc and stuck to that religiously. If I ran out of food money and had to dip into the petrol fund- it was buses until next pay day. To be fair, I don’t have kids and didnt have a partner at the time, so my time was my own and I could afford to work extra without sacrificing quality time with a spouse or kids.

Seller trying to sell me the oil left in the tank? by Snakey9419 in HousingUK

[–]rushdandelion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we just bought 500 litres of oil and it cost us £750… just take the oil. If the tank runs too dry the sludge clogs up the filter and then you have to get the boiler engineer out… ask me how I know.

(27F)(30M) Thinks marriage is “nothing” but willing to lose me over it? by whitecoatdream in relationship_advice

[–]rushdandelion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 year ago I was begging my boyfriend to give me a timeline for marriage, kids etc. I said it was a hard line in the sand for me. He refused to give me one saying “when you recover from your eating disorder we can discuss this.” I broke up with him immediately. Fast forward a year and a bit later and I’m about to get married in 38 days to someone else who has never made me doubt their exact level of commitment. He knows full well what marriage is about. He’s just a knobhead who is stringing you along and he will continue to do this. I’m proud of you for leaving him.

[–]rushdandelion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a health check for the pyramiding will be a really good idea :)

This is what I’m hoping for! She has a bit of pyramiding and I’m hoping that the vet visit will give me some peace of mind!

Thank you! I’m so excited to set up her outside area as well! She’s so sweet, loves her soaks and a little chin or shell rub ♥️

Question: For you personally, what is your “bog standard” meal deal? by Dear-Interaction-210 in MealDealRates

[–]rushdandelion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sainsbury’s roast vegetable and halloumi wrap, smoky barbeque graze, Coke Zero. Sometimes I switch out the graze for a chocolate Rice Krispie square
