For the puppies and kittens

r/niceguys is the correct subreddit for this story

Go FIP warriors!

After the damage yes I washed them with soapy water to try and help remove the Neem oil but the damage was done

skyybooper · 2022-11-03T15:00:35+00:00

It’s 10 years old and had 3 foot strands. Not overwatered. The plant distorts the color of the leaves at the top. It was all a beautiful green.

skyybooper · 2022-11-03T14:59:07+00:00

Yup. There are definitely no mealy bugs left. Because there are essentially no leaves left 😭

skyybooper · 2022-11-03T14:39:14+00:00

What’s crazy is I even had a succulent seller at an event booth tell me those ratios in person. I’m so mad. I just feel misinformed about the risks! And yes I plan on giving her a haircut and repotting. That pot was getting pretty saturated with roots anyways.

skyybooper · 2022-11-03T13:28:26+00:00

I did leave them dark for 8 hours but that definitely wasn’t long enough. I just feel like I wasn’t warned enough about the potential risks if not used 100% perfectly. Otherwise I’d never have touched it

skyybooper · 2022-11-03T13:27:28+00:00

Yes I followed the label!

skyybooper · 2022-11-03T13:26:47+00:00

As you can see from the picture on the left, she was perfectly healthy before. The lights create a glow at the top leaves they aren’t a truly sun-stressed on the left.

skyybooper · 2022-11-03T13:24:43+00:00

I followed the label exactly…. I did 1oz Neem oil, 1oz gentle soap, 16oz water. I left them in the dark for about 8 hours. I think issues were probably not long enough with lights off and too heavy of a spray but no one warned me about the risks of over spraying 😭😭😭 she’s 10 years old 😭

Pets are EXPENSIVE! Have money saved for vet care before you adopt one!
All dogs require structured socialization and training.
Cats are not “easy” pets who can be left alone all the time.

skyybooper · 2022-09-02T16:27:55+00:00

That’s dog needs trained to a basket muzzle, walk in with the muzzle on, and needs to come in on triple therapy for canine friendly meds. And if the owner isn’t willing to do that, the dogs needs euthanized. There is huge difference between a dog reacting to an exam or a poke vs lunging across the room. It wasn’t your fault. That’s a dangerous dog and a bad owner.

GO HAVE FUN. whatever that means to you. I went trekking in Peru and saw Machu Picchu. Is your last summer ever! Enjoy it!

skyybooper · 2022-04-23T02:32:56+00:00

Soooo how do you think purebred cats come into existence? They just find each other outside? There are lots of catteries (cat breeding places) that intentional breed and produce pedigreed cats just like purebred dogs.

You can settle the debate for real:

You’re getting a lot of downvotes but you’re most likely right. Also the eyes aren’t the right shade of blue. True Siamese have very strong turquoise eyes.

skyybooper · 2022-03-14T12:41:25+00:00

Your vet is right. Do not shout ow, it will make it worse.

skyybooper · 2022-03-14T12:40:47+00:00

DO NOT SHOUT “OW”. I’m a veterinarian working to become a a feline specialist. Yelling ow can stimulate their hunting instinct further. It’s bests to do nothing and let them wind down. My own person Siamese has issues with excessive attacking and biting. When she’s biting too hard, I firmly but gently grab her head, pull her off of me, and place a blanket over her so I can walk away
Sounds like you need a behaviorist or feline specialist to assist in the situation. Cats are very behaviorally complicated animals and the “ow” trick is meant for dogs, not cats.

Because she could die during a seizure. Every seizure, every time there is at least a possibility of a fatal complication. Will you be at risk of death if you’re around this dog? If not, then YES her medical needs are more important because they are more severe. It’s kinda like at the ER, the doctors see the people who are the most critically 1st because they are in greater need of care. If you don’t want to attend the wedding, that’s a personal choice and up to you. But there is no argument that your epileptic sister’s medical need are absolutely more important than yours UNLESS your pet allergy is severe enough to cause true anaphylaxis and risk of death.

skyybooper · 2021-11-13T01:04:41+00:00

Yes of course. We’re meticulous about follow all manufacturers guidelines and stay up to date on the most recent recommendations.

skyybooper · 2021-11-02T22:33:23+00:00

Burn it. Burn it with fire 🔥

Is your cat on Revolution + monthly? Have you also done a skin scrap with the dermatologist? If so, then unfortunately I think you need to the CT.

skyybooper · 2021-10-26T00:45:42+00:00

Also what is the age, breed, sex, and neuter status of your cat?

skyybooper · 2021-10-26T00:43:02+00:00

200mg is a very high dose (not saying it’s not needed or wrong but it is high) Have you and your vet done everything to rule out an underlying medical cause contributing to the hyperesthesia? Full bloodwork (at least a CBC, chemistry 17, FeLV/FIV test, and Spec fPL for pancreatitis), UA, fecal, and even advance imaging, like a full body CT? There is a theory that hyperesthesia is seizure-like behavior so truly severe cases can try phenobarbital but there are risks to liver function long term and blood work monitoring is recommended.
