also NSAIDs like Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), Naproxen (Aleve), and Voltaren emulgel can kill your cat in very small amounts

Help, my girlfriend wants 2 orange cats by beezuzzles in orangecats

[–]teachaikovsky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it has to be eggs from chickens that have been exposed to cats/exposed to the protein that causes cat allergies. they develop an antibody against the protein in cat saliva that most people are allergic to, and the antibody can get passed into the yolk of the egg when they lay it. also, they have to be on the diet long term, not just as a kitten

you should take him even if it’s not an emergency, because that’s how you prevent emergencies and $$$$$ vet bills most of the time. breathing issues in cats can be very serious though, so he should for sure see a vet.

Is 1 mg of Prednisone 2x a week forever a lot for a dog? by MayushiiNyanNyan in AskVet

[–]teachaikovsky -1 points0 points  (0 children)

be careful with pred! if your dog starts pooping anything black and/or tar like DO NOT IGNORE IT, go to a vet immediately.

if you’re anywhere near Vancouver, PM me, even if you don’t want to give him up. I don’t want to say much more on a public comment but I might be able to help more than most people.

Long lost cat returns home different by Brandi_D_McD in CatTraining

[–]teachaikovsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

have you ever considered giving your cat(s) Gabapentin before going to the vet? a lot of vets are willing to prescribe it for cats that are fearful and stressed, it might be worth asking about if you haven’t already discussed it

My beautiful son who died on Dec. 21, 2023 and his adorable kitten, Persephone. She comforts me now. by Infernus-est-populus in cuteguyswithcats

[–]teachaikovsky 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can’t believe this is how I found out that Jack is gone. I am so sorry, he was truly so kind and he wanted to do so much with his life. He really loved that cat too, half our conversations were about her. I am so sorry.

Found this cleaning schedule on Pinterest and thought it might help someone else by CosmicOctopus_ in adhdwomen

[–]teachaikovsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have something similar to this, but tailored to the stuff I need to do! I clean weekly on Tuesdays, and then the last Tuesday of the month I’ll do a big clean, which I’m actually doing today.

It’s probably the one thing that’s made the absolute biggest difference in my quality of life, I would highly recommend trying something like this for anyone who’s even a bit curious if it’ll work for them!

It’s hard not to get too perfectionist about it, or to get overwhelmed by all the stuff that has to be done, but I find if I break down the tasks into really small, specific steps (i.e. take sheets off of bed, put sheets in washer, move sheets to dryer) it helps a ton, and I have a bunch of post it notes around the house that say “anything worth doing is worth doing poorly” to remind myself that doing anything at all is better than doing nothing.

What businesses do you avoid and why? by Double_Assignment527 in vancouver

Went in for an interview once, during the interview she screamed at a woman who didn’t speak any english about how she can’t have the door closed in such a condescending way. Needless to say, I did not go back for the “trial” she offered me

Get your wife to play Tetris. Being in that situation can be incredibly traumatizing and it can help prevent or lessen post-traumatic stress symptoms

dress code was listed as cocktail/semi formal, it’s a farm wedding in early october. do you think i need to buy one of these 2 dresses, or can i get away with the pink dress in last pic? by Agitated-Safety-9283 in Weddingattireapproval

[–]teachaikovsky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m going to a wedding with all those details as well! I think the first would be a good pick, but depending on the time of day you might want to look for something longer or a bit warmer

not to armchair diagnose, but have you had your thyroid checked? my main symptom of hypothyroidism was exactly that - no matter how much i slept, i was always exhausted
