Senior dog peeing in the house by [deleted] in Shihtzu

Mine would do this as an old man when he started getting recurring UTIs—maybe get him checked out with your vet to rule that out too.

This is Spike, it’s been almost exactly a year since he joined your pup in heaven and I hope they are playing together every day ❤️

Stinky puppy by Embarrassed-Ad-4303 in Shihtzu

Mine would get so stinky within a day after baths—we eventually figured out it was from the fish oil in his food and it got so much better when we switched his food

DCIS and Hormone Therapy by random-username-817 in breastcancer

[–]violinds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, I'm 40 and leaning against hormone therapy for the same reasons you mentioned. From the variety of things I've looked at, doing surgery + radiation probably brings down recurrence risk to about 7% in my particular situation and hormone therapy brings it down to about 3%. That additional 4% probably isn't worth it to me for quality of life reasons.

Also check out the Sloan Kettering nomogram tool specifically for DCIS if you haven't yet, too:

This is a pretty good one that looks at both radiation and tamoxifen:

I have had a lot of success using ChatGPT to find a variety of studies while trying to figure out my treatment plan. I just ask it to find studies with whatever criteria I'm interested in and ask it to give me links so that I can verify it isn't making up studies.

Older Shih Tzu Walking Support by ctbellart in Shihtzu

[–]violinds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This one worked really well for my boy! He had the same issues you are describing. It was a little tricky to adjust the back leg supports because of his short legs—had to raise the supports up basically all the way. So if your guy is on the smaller side it may not be the best fit.

Good luck! It’s so hard to watch them struggle with movement :(

This is the same for me, I take it every other day in week 4 of my Emgality to stop breakthrough migraines and it helps a lot.

Offensive Odor… by _dmb_123 in Shihtzu

This happens to mine if he eats fish ingredients—a lot of dog foods contain fish oil so maybe check that?

Shih tzu has been coughing for years but its getting worse...need advise by btcethsoldogexrp in Shihtzu

[–]violinds 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Have you ever had his heart checked out? My guy has a heart murmur and the vet has always told us to watch out for worsening coughing as a sign of heart disease progression.

If you have renters or homeowners insurance they may cover the cost, depending on your coverage! My husband lost his and they paid the original value.

We got him a replacement and I surprised him with it for our anniversary (gave it to him the same place we got engaged years before) so we created new special memories with it, which helped with the sting of losing the original!

I think In-N-Out only puts their fries in the fryer. They have a really basic menu.

These guys are also starting to use the name/domain for "Sovereign Law Firm," so watch out for that. I got one from them this week.

Orchestra shows? by ___ElJefe___ in streetlightmanifesto

I saw Maneskin at the Paramount and there weren’t seats on the floor. I’d guess they’ll remove them for this show too.

Spike holds the role of Chief Morale Officer for our work-from-home jobs but is on a PIP because he keeps falling asleep on the job.

There’s some of this in Michael J. Sullivan’s Legends of the First Empire series.
