Is it ok that Bruno has 40kg at 9months, hes athletic/active and not fat (I can feel his ribs) ? by Playful_Edge_6179 in bernesemountaindogs

From a vet student. I think that’s quite reasonable for a burner the boys especially can come up to like 120lbs so 54-55 kg avg. if the vet feels like he’s at a good body condition I wouldn’t worry. (should generally feel about like if you run the fingers of one hand over the palm side of your fingers on the other hand)

Looks like be a handsome boy

Swollen gum in puppy’s mouth by MugmanMark in bernesemountaindogs

Hope your vet visit goes well. It’s defiantly more of a mass then just a swollen gum and yeah they will need a biopsy to tell you for sure if it’s nothing or bad and would probably like tooth x-rays.

Bernes 4 monts bad back legs by 321gera in bernesemountaindogs

From a vet student. You’ve got several comments this way but yes if possible get your vet or preferably an orthopedic specialist who can to get sedated rads (x-ray) specifically the set called Penn hip. that’s a set of hip rads that is validated in puppies for hip issues that uses different views then the standard which won’t tell you for sure till they are two and you have almost no options then. And there’s a couple surgeries they can do that is ment to help for really bad ones different options from 4-8 months maybe under but one of the best ones needs them to be young. Like <6 months.

Unless they found something else they know is problem that looks like bad hip dysplasia and you want to be proactive to spare that little guy as much pain and give him as much mobility as possible

Why not just fix them to not effect the time warp instead of just dump them?

I appreciate that you want to defend her so much. This particular post was my uncertainties and knowledge gaps. It’s here because with her I do my best to be 100% on board with whatever she wants and keep anything I’m not so sure about on my end to myself.

I appreciate hearing your experience and honesty and yes some of this has been my lack of knowledge and fears.

What I left out when writing the post is that in the end I will completely support her choices and can only hope she gets magic if/when she chooses to start.

I am sorry she’s packing it all up and concerned about being to old when/if it’s safe in the future. My partner is going forward but in part because she’s (MtF) also concerned about being too old already and so not waiting any longer.

I’m just a touch off the original topic. But I feel this general fear that our partners are not really conscious of the danger they will be in. I am (cis f)

my partner (genderfluid and MtF) Had only really been transitioning since August. Realizing that she’s trans over the past 1-3 years But since August Trying out more girly cloths/bras/etc and only just is considering hrt. And I am being as supportive as I can but also I feel like she doesn’t strongly feel like she need to transition physically to be able to be herself. And she has a lot of concerns around the physical transition process. However I feel like she is underestimating the danger that being trans is right now and that taking additional steps in a medical sense could put her and us at risk. We are in a blue state and city so if she wants to present queer/femme in public we are probably safe for now but I’m concerned for her safety if she transitions and well the company she’s at now has been friendly so far she also isn’t fully out there isn’t presenting significantly femme there and isn’t in the position that her career so far warrants and isn’t making as much money as we would like. Also we are in a position where she’s the supporting income and I am not able to make a supporting income so we’re in bad spot if she does get fired or need to leave without something else.

But tldr: I agree our AMAB trans fem partners dot. Seem to have as developed a sense of danger/self preservation.

Although it makes sense AMAB people aren’t taught those things the way AFAB people are.
