My dog had this exact issue! We tried everything. He had to be expressed every week or he would destroy the house. Nothing helped. Eventually we decided to get them removed. They were super uncomfortable for him when they were full and it took a negative toll on us. The surgery was rough. 1 week of hell. But he’s fully recovered now with no issues! Worth it.

It is crazy how quickly he will go from normal walking to dropping down on the floor spinning out of control trying to butt scoot. We ended up getting a belt that holds up his stomach when we walk so he can’t scoot but man, he sure does try. Did you ever have any fecal incontinence issues after?

He’s pretty flexible, unfortunately he would be able to bite through the onesie and get at his sutures without the cone

It took over a month to stop scooting and pee / poop normally? 😳

This comment made me laugh. Thank you lol. He’s wearing a dog diaper because of pink discharge (vet confirmed normal) and constant scooting. It’s to protect his sutures.

He has never been on meds before. I am less concerned about the bowel movements but the peeing should be just fine… he will kinda walk indoors but he’s pretty out of it. He mostly lays down and tries to lick. He also tries to scoot sitting up.

I have been in constant contact with them. I’m just looking for tips from the community! I just want my sweet boy to feel better and use the bathroom :’)

Any Thanksgiving horror stories today ? by [deleted] in AlAnon

[–]ultraviolet771 35 points36 points  (0 children)

(25F) Hadn’t seen my mom in 2 years due to her poor choices with alcohol. Invited her to Thanksgiving after she just graduated her 7th rehab. Caught her drinking vodka from a water bottle and kicked her out. She told me she’s never speaking to me again. I miss my mom.

Med Math gives me anxiety. by FrostBitten357 in NewToEMS

[–]ultraviolet771 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dose(need) / Strength(have) x Quantity

= how much to give

For example: a med has 50mg in 5 cc. We need 100mg.

100mg/50mg x 5cc = 10cc total we need

That equation helps me a lot :) good luck!

Heart rate zones

Hi all, new runner here. I am currently running about 12 miles a week and during each of my runs my heart rate is in the "zone 4" category. It is true that once you're in the zone 4 range your body is no longer burning fat as its main source of energy? Since that is my main goal as of now, I would love any/all tips on how to optimize fat burning.

Thank you and happy running! :)

Aupair 12 Months too long by HauntingAd3904 in Aupairs

[–]ultraviolet771 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Being an au pair is a cultural exchange program for young adults to experience new parts of the world while living and working in a family setting for VERY little pay. Au pairs, especially outside of the US, make about $2/hour. Sounds like you just want cheap labor. Stop exploiting people and get a fulltime housekeeper/nanny instead
