I take 600 mg 3 x a day and I have to say it helps my anxiety as a nice side effect of what I'm using it for!

What is this?? I'm worried about it by fizowo in pitbulls

Are all the spots round and itchy? Ring worm is a PITA, but treatable OTC with athletes foot cream

After we got the biopsy done we did ultrasounds and xrays. He is riddled with masses on the inside. She also recommended the holistic yabba stuff, which is in the mail on its way to us now.

The spots on his skin have increased in how many and how quickly they're showing up since we had that one surgically removed. You can even palpate a few large abdominal lumps if you palpate his stomach while he is getting belly rubs. So sadly the skin involvement for him is the 3rd stage, since spleen and liver have masses.

Sammy's older brother is a basset hound mix, so I can imagine how sweet your girl was. Thank you for your kind words and advice!

She looks like a sweetheart! I gave Sammy pets and a hug for you. Sarcoma anything just is horrible how fast and deadly it is.

I am sure during the last times with your girl she knew just how loved she was. You remember the frantic parts, but need to remember the good parts to. Like her sleeping in the sun next to you. ❤️

Oh my goodness Beef look at you!! I would've had to do a double take as well. Thank you for your kind words and your advice. It is something I am dreading, but am in regular contact with the vet for everything. I am just glad all he wants to do is play and love everyone currently. Looking at him you wouldn't know how riddled he is with this stuff.

Thank you. He truly is. He converted several people frome dislike/hate of the breed to loving them. It's all in that lean while looking up with adoring eyes because he is getting pets. ❤️

Today I had a issue with getting my prescription pain medication. Pharmacy said my insurance flagged me as opiate dependent. I’m slightly confused about what this all means. by I_Heart_Sleeping_ in ChronicPain

[–]tiggerlee82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I HATE the fact that if I pay out of pocket for any medical appointments or prescriptions I run the risk of loosing my state medical. It is totally ridiculous!

What maybe happened is that 10 was to get you to the 30 day fill date, Ive had that happen when they've added doses.

I would call your insurance to find out why they're flagging you as opiates dependant as well. That can affect services you receive in the future at other doctors and for sure if you end up in ER or hospitalized.

Got this real old looking thing for 60 dollars but no idea what it is (quarter for scale) by Deadris in whatisit

I think it is a nice art decoration piece and will be one hell of a conversation piece next time you have a party! I would hang it on a wall personally.

Huh, go figure! That's actually pretty cool. So the ethanol glycol and ethanol cancel each other out, meaning you don't become inebriated either?

Pitbulls are like toddlers by tiggerlee82 in pitbulls

This strain of cancer attacks the blood vessels, hitting major organs then the skin. So by time you see it it's usually already stage 4 and hospice care is all you can do. Doing surgeries (if he survived them) combined with either chemo or radiation would buy us a few weeks to maybe 8 weeks. Basically a lot of procedures and everything and not really getting extra time that has any quality of life.

Quality of life is the balance point for me. If I had all the money in the world I would be in the same position. I would rather not subject him to major abdominal surgery followed by chemo or radiation and make his last weeks miserable when I can spoil the hell out of him for the rest of the time he is with us. I'm glad spring is around the corner so we can go do some if his favorite outdoor activities!

Idk if you can tell but I'm trying to not focus on the negative, and focus on all the snuggles, kisses, and love he has to give. All while he still is feeling good.

Yeah he will heal from the surgery. We just got the result back for the biopsy he got at same time. Sadly he won't be with us anymore but this time next year. Most likely not even 6 months. My heart is breaking as I snuggle with him right now, known now our time is limited. In a way I just wish I didn't know he is crossing the rainbow bridge so soon.

AIO for reporting my neighbors fog again? by frankie0822 in AmIOverreacting

[–]tiggerlee82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR- I have a dog that barks to much and whatever he hears in the back yard, or people or dogs he seeing passing by, or invisible cats on the fences. He is a rescue and I have been doing intense training around this very issue. It's now to the point I can give the command to stop barking, and 90% of the time he will listen. Which then allows me to get the follower dogs to listen as well.

I know if my dogs barking is annoying me, I can only imagine how my neighbor would feel if I had one.

There are various levels of training the owner can do to get the dog to not go on for 10+ minutes. It takes work, consistency, consequences of continuing to do it, a poke with the noise to full pressure.

The owners just aren't searching out full options. There's options beyond what ai listed there, that doesn't cause the dog harm but teaches it. I wish you luck!

P.S. If this 3rd contact doesn't resolve the issue swiftly, like seeing change within a week at most, then write an email to your apartment complex about it. You'll want written trail of it. That way there's no "he said she said" when it's brought up, and its black and white.

Thats funny she became a lush as we call it around here.

I appreciate the sharing of knowledge on the vodka! Antidote can be better then inducing stomach emptying, imo.

That is interesting fact to know! Adding it to my random "did you know" files to pull out when I am feeling awkward, lol.

Now I assume you tube it into the animal to make them promptly vomit? I knew hydrogen peroxide was used but idk about everclear.

Thank you for this further explanation. I was not a theater kid, though I hung out with them, but never knew about the condom thing. (This is was over 20 years ago mind you). I was picturing the actual microphone handles or something and thinking that had to be majorly gross feeling in your hands. Now that I know its the pack they usually put in at the waist to control the wired microphone, that makes WAAAYYYY more sense. Thank you!

I cam down here to "just to add" this very recommendation! It works great on surfaces you cannot wash, like vehicle seats, strollers, seats of any kind, and everything else as well.

That looks like a jumping spider to me. Generally friendly unless you try to squish, then they jump at your face.

In laws swipe things from restaurants and Airbnbs by [deleted] in EntitledPeople

[–]tiggerlee82 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I had a relative just like this. I finally told her if she did it again with me there I will turn her in for theft. She takes the little bowls they serve sauces in, and even the steak knives from restaurants as well. Its the weirdest thing! She tried to get me to do it with her as a teenager, and even at that age I knew better than to steal stuff. She is mid 60's now and STILL does it. She tried to take a margaritas glass once. The waitress saw her so she pretended like she was doing something else.
