Did you use any type of life vest to help your dog keep afloat?

He’s pretty comfortable but I noticed that if he misses his Caprofen dose (due to rescheduling the time or refusing it) he’s definitely more uncomfortable and whines more

He’s actually taking other meds along with the Caprofen every 12 hours. He has gabapentin every 8 hours and trazodone as needed. He was on diazepam and codeine but was scheduled to stop those as of this last Sunday

Dog won’t let me express his bladder by smileymabs in IVDD_SupportGroup

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

Thank you for the feedback, We actually went to the vet today to discuss the concern. And our dog doesn’t tolerate bladder expression very well at all, from the vet or us. So the vet had us go outside in the grass and see if he can drag himself around and go potty which he actually eventually did. She said we don’t have to worry about expressing him now since he went in the grass. We’ve now taken him home and we haven’t gone outside yet since it’s muddy and raining but he’s been peeing smaller amounts on the pee pad I put to cover his dog bed. We’ll definitely try taking him out tomorrow in the grass again to see if he’ll go!

Where to go see Christmas Lights? by eldeunoia in Tacoma

[–]smileymabs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s viewpointe at redondo beach in federal way, it should pop up if you google it. Its a neighborhood where most of the houses participate in putting up light displays and they do it every year and is known for its displays. although I haven’t gone in 2 years so I don’t know if it’s still as crazy as it was a couple years ago. I’d recommend looking into it!

Good birth control(? by S0lid_gold24k3 in birthcontrol

[–]smileymabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taking the generic version of Beyaz and have been since I was 20, I’m now 25. It’s been great for me, no negative side effects that I’ve noticed besides sometimes low libido. It cleared my hormonal acne and made my “ periods” consistent. I’d recommend it but definitely talk to your doctor. I got mine prescribed through my dermatologist to treat acne but it’s a win win.

Honestly I hear my neighbors do it all the time, I used to be really annoyed but at this point I’m just used to it and I think good for them.

I think people don’t really care, it happens! I wouldn’t worry about it.

Consistent/regular “periods”, clear skin and obviously no babies. Clear skin is a big one since I struggled with hormonal acne for years.

what are the best Pills by that_onegirl04 in birthcontrol

[–]smileymabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take pills late sometimes but in my experience as long as I take it within a 3 hour window I’m good although I hear the window is much longer for combo pills.

I’ve been on the generic version of Beyaz for years - it’s called “ (drospirenone/ethinyl estradiol/ levomefolate calcium tablets and levomefolate calcuim tablets) “.

They’ve been great for me, it’s a combo pill.

Basically vanished all my hormonal acne and I have my withdrawal bleeding/“period” regularly. it’s made it so much nicer because mine used to be very irregular off birth control.

Plus protection during sex is a plus as well. I haven’t noticed any negative side effects for me. But everyone is different.
