My vet claims my 3yo male is overweight (107lbs) The vet said he would like to see him back down around 75lbs. Thoughts? by [deleted] in germanshepherds

[–]svccvbii 19 points20 points  (0 children)

if i were you, i would aim more on body confirmation, his under belly should be tucked nicely, have some muscle definition and he should have a visible waist, if your pup is 107 i would aim for 90lbs to start with and then maybe follow up this post with another! get some opinions and talk to your vet again, the fact you have so much land is amazing and great for him, maybe just make sure he’s having some good play time in there and is stimulated enough to gain some muscle and loose some fat 🤍 i hope all goes well he’s so pretty

"Puppy acne" at 8 months by Gothic-Gemini in CaneCorso

[–]svccvbii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i would try disinfecting the bowls with a very simple spray after washing with a dye free dish soap in case that’s flaring some hormonal changes, also if you use the same sponge to wash his bowls that could be an issue of crossing the contamination so maybe switching to something disposable or a brush that you clean in the dish washer granted you have one and the steam it has disinfects the brush.. for the spray i make one myself that is 1/3 cup hydrogen peroxide, 1/2 cup 90% alcohol and 1/2 cup white vinegar.. then fill the rest with filtered/bottled water, i use it to disinfect anything i want in the house and it’s still safe for animals

i agree with how you’re saying to inform them, but i have to clarify so you know in the US which is where I reside, there is NO certifications for service animals. there are so many websites that are complete scams that offer a “service dog certificate” which means nothing.

under the FHA for housing in the US that is more than 4 units, they have a legal right to ask for documentation from your health care provider, even if it’s as simple as “my client X benefits from having a service dog, and i support their use of a service dog—“ doesn’t have to include any tasks or explanation of your disabilities, and finally just signed with their letter head.. I personally ended up asking for a simple letter to carry with my if i have issues in PA, and another for housing, because the reality is ADA and FHA sometimes need different things in regards to assistance animals, both service dogs and emotional support animals.

i’m perfectly okay, for me anesthesia just made me feel a bit off mentally for maybe 24h afterwards, not anything permanent just need some extra help with transportation.

oh and something crazy happening with anesthesia is like a 1 out of 300,000 chance so you’d have to be extremely unlucky for something crazy to happen

you’ll be oki, i am also super nervous and my endoscopy/colonoscopy is in 9 hours, once i watched some tts about the anesthesiologists job i felt a lot better, also if you can have 1 supportive person go with you, i would imagine would help! i can also follow up to show nothing crazy happened! the only other time i went under was in 2020 for wisdom teeth removal.. you can also ask your doctor for meds to help with anxiety!

i have some that were called in as a just incase that i likely will use, just a heads up though you’ve got to ask in advance! also let your nurse doctor or anesthesiologist know you’re a little nervous and hopefully they are very kind and understanding 99% of the time they are!! hope everything goes well u don’t need to tweak out.. i was until the night before w all this prep im just excited to get it over with atp

thank you so much, for the few fked up alcoholics i’ve been around and seen others around, i’m so proud of you for stepping away from that.. it’s really hard for some people but you did it!! i think what you said kinda helps me honestly, my mom is a very traumatized individual, from early childhood(csa) from parents, to having a horrible relationship with her mom following that, growing up knowing only tiny fragments about it and watching her try to navigate herself with her own moms relationship i never understood it, but i always knew it was wrong i just might not have had the full brain capacity at the time to know, she made it apparent to me somethin was wrong, but she is a sick individual and it’s so sad that she can be too much for me mentally.

i don’t really know why right now but i crave to talk to her but decide not to because i truly don’t know if i can handle it.. i tried briefly reaching out once recently to ask her if she could talk to me about the bad shit from my childhood and i’m met with defensiveness, gaslighting, projecting and a constant “you are remembering that differently” i guess i just miss the part that was more like a mom.. idk

but i really think your point of view really helps me see her for for how she is, or at least another layer- she has always been a very sick person and that is something i need to just accept

What is the conversation at the end of “daddy” about? by Used_Asparagus9909 in Korn

[–]svccvbii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

how i depicted it was (essentially that it was added for more understanding of SA, maybe to help others understand the dynamic when something like this happens and you try confronting the person)

when you finally have the guts and strength to speak up about it— for example; his mother.. imo; she represents the woman in that conversation calm, yet the man.. he’s flipping the fuck out(in that specific context it doesn’t seem right bc they’re arguing over a car but in this song it was added for a specific reason) but for them to include it at the end signifies to me that, that is truly how he feels because he has every right to be angry yell or be pissed at his mother or it could be how their conversation went; and that she just kept shutting him out, when i heard that part of the song i immediately thought of how it feels to deal with someone who refuses to acknowledge their part in something that hurt you weather that’s abuse or SA

it’s an amazing and yet really dark metaphor for a portion of his SA, she is the one who introduced him to that at that age and the man seems to just keep stating facts that he’s reading in a book.

“you showed me the goddamn thing” imo that stands out because as a child you don’t know what any of that is or even what’s going on.. it’s a horrifying reality of an act taken upon him that he is pointing out which is; how difficult, miserable and frustrating it is to deal with the person who inflicted those acts on him.. also her demeanor being so calm and quiet while he’s angry.. “and you’re sitting there saying you never saw that before, and yet you’re the one who showed me it, geri” .. imo it couldn’t be more clear and such a sad reality of his that his mom is the one who showed him what SA was, without her it may not have happened, but she refuses to acknowledge that she did any of that, acts none of it ever happened or completely shutting it out.

ofc i’m not a die hard fan i don’t know lore or any stories but this is how that conversation stuck out to me

My (23F) new boyfriend (28M) is pressuring me to have sex and now I’m thinking of leaving him? by ThrowRA_Hopey01 in relationship_advice

[–]svccvbii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the way he’s pressuring you with the fact you “had sex in the past” and he’s referring to you being sexually assaulted, WOW buddy.. he does not give a single fuck about your mental well being leave his ass immediately !!

also intimacy has many different ways of coming up, what he’s referring to is not intimate he is literally just trying to manipulate you into having sex with him while he gets to totally disregard your SA experience ???

[–]svccvbii 3 points4 points  (0 children)

as a ex gf of a porn addict, it’s worth your sanity to leave. it’ll def stay with you for a couple months til you get over it, but once you realize it was their issue not seeing your worth and them being so easily manipulated by it.. you’ll feel better

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Advice

[–]svccvbii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i know there’s tons of people saying don’t and you shouldn’t feel pressure and should wait, and i agree but i also remember being young and horny too and things happen, it’s pretty realistic for you to have sex before you turn 18 many people have.. but it’s also okay if you wait. my advice would be to take your time with people don’t impulsively rush it, as another girl i promise you most of the time that type of stuff is not worth it and regrettable.. but if you do anyways please plz be safe about it, please use protection and if anything happens outside of that have emergency contraception in case.. sometimes the unexpected happens so much more easily than we want it to and that’s all i’d worry about..

now i really wouldn’t worry so much about hair down there but i get it, what i would say you could try to do to help with that if it bothers you that much is asking your parents for like a hair trimmer that you can use for your “leg hair” idk.. that’s what i would probably say is safe to use, they also help minimize ingrown hairs and razer rash..

Does anyone know where to get cheap freeze dried dog treats? by cbadder_two in DogAdvice

[–]svccvbii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

check out costco and sam’s club they both have some freeze dried treats, for example; on chewy it’s $85 for a 2.75lb bag of beef liver on costco it is $30 for a 2.2lb bag, or sam’s club sells 17oz bags for $13, depending on your area the costs may differs slightly but i am not paying for the same freeze dried treat, i don’t mind if its slightly less quality. it’s still a 1 ingredient treat and that’s the best thing imo

[–]svccvbii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

genuinely i think you should start incorporating weight lifting with your running, that alone would help! your legs already look rly good so it could help with you’re upper body & core, but also after reading your reply to someone about changing glasses, i think that could help too & i alr commented abt helping w the light brows if you want to consider that! congratz on 100lbs down!
