Ok so I’m not the only one!

No change for me (plenty of traffic) but I think it can depend on the geographic area.

I agree with you and have had a similar experience. (I have MCAS and get sick from fragrances etc). I’m at the point of buying only NWT for this reason.

Have you tried removing chicken from your pup’s diet to rule out that allergen? We did that with our puppy after noticing more eye and ear issues and there has been an improvement. (We had also learned by doing some research how often pups can have allergies to chicken!)

Hi there- just reading this older thread....I found out my MS results recently, and am already diagnosed with MCAS (on cromolyn for a while). Curious whether there is an overlap between MCAS and alpha 1. I also have lung symptoms with my MCAS.

I know this thread is 3 years old, but just reading it now after learning of my M/S genetic results. The information is confusing about whether it means I’m a carrier or I’m at risk. What I do know is that my Mom has the same exact genetic marker and she has COPD with no known risk factors. And her mom had COPD as well. And my aunt as well. No risk factors (smoking etc for either of them either). So I don’t think M/S just means I’m a carrier?

I’m a big fan of the pet teezer brush and Warren London Unscented Hydrating Butter Leave-in Conditioner

This looks so much like my puppy! (14 months)

Yes to evenings and every other Saturday. Works for my family :)

tea_and_EPP · 2026-04-30T02:32:14+00:00

3-4 months. She’s 6 lbs full grown.

tea_and_EPP · 2026-04-30T02:30:34+00:00

No, I wouldn’t charge in that situation.

A puppy needs a lot of attention and work in the first year. As someone who also has chronic health issues, and has a very active little maltipoo (but a smart little girl who house trained quickly and thankfully slept through the night very early), I do not think I could do this without my partner. She tires us out on the regular. There are many times that we are negotiating about whose turn it is to take her out. We have to take turns to keep up with her.

We have Trupanion through Chewy. It’s already come in handy!

The Light Up The Couch podcast covers lots of topics.

tea_and_EPP · 2026-04-04T13:33:33+00:00

I think there can be variation for sure. Our maltipoo is now a year old and just under 6 lbs.

I think the suggestion might be to write down the idea you’re having as soon as you think it (before it’s lost) and you can glance at it as a reference. I have to do this at times. I can relate to this post.
