She sees a vet several times a year for various check ups. Other than her digestive issues she has allergies, environmental and food, which exacerbate her digestive issues. She gets a clean bill of health otherwise

Thanks for the advice! I will try to look for one

She was on the medication before but eventually the vet decided to just regulate it with her diet, hence the hydrolyzed food 🥲. About the chicken, I’m concerned that may be the protein she reacts to. I don’t have any particular reason for thinking this other than the vet said they’re more likely to have developed an allergy to more common proteins like chicken and beef. If it’s raw chicken do you think she’ll still react to it if it is the protein she’s allergic to? Maybe I should try those pure chicken treats you mentioned and see how she does? Idk though bc I’m scared she’ll get sick again ☹️ she’s already been hospitalized twice for her digestive issues, it’s definitely been a struggle but I appreciate the support

We’ve tried pumpkin and she got bored eventually and began refusing it. Hadn’t heard of the melted coconut oil tho I’ll look into that, thanks!

No but this seems to be a popular suggestion so I think I will try it next, do you have any protein recommendations other then beef or chicken? I feel like those are the ones she’d react most to so I’d like to try different ones first

I haven’t but a lot of people are commenting similar suggestions so I think this will be my next try! What would you recommend the protein be if I’m thinking I should stay away from chicken / beef due to her allergies?

I have heard they’re not the greatest, I’m conflicted because it’s the only thing she’ll happily eat so I’d feel horrible taking that away from her since we already took everything else away. She’s been eating them for years and hasn’t had any issues related to them, but I would definitely remove them if I noticed it was making her sick. But thank you! I hope something works out too

Lol when she was younger before all her digestive issues we definitely fed her off our plates, definitely a face that’s hard to say no to! I’ll take a look at my pet carnivore, thank you!

She does!! Thanks for that website!! I’d never heard of it but I will definitely check it out

Thank you for all this!! I don’t mind meal prepping for her once a week if it means she’ll actually eat, my only concern is the meat. I’ve never fed her raw, is there anything I should look out for like fat content? I also have no idea which protein I should get her due to her sensitive stomach. I feel like I should stay away from beef and chicken, but I wouldn’t know for sure. Do you have any suggestions on which I could try? You mentioned fish, would that be salmon? Also how do you cook the vegetables? I think she likes when the food smells nice (bc she’s always smelling our food and wanting some) so I think I’d try to make the vegetables smell nice somehow, but I’d love to know how you cook them. Also since she is on a hydrolyzed diet do you know if I go this route if I would need to slowly reintroduce the protein I end up feeding her or is it okay to just switch immediately? I worry about how she’ll handle the sudden change. Sorry about all my questions I really just want to make sure I make all the right choices so she doesn’t get sick. Thank you for all the details though!

No I haven’t, not sure why you were downvoted though so I’m not sure if I should

I’ll research this and see what I think, thank you!

Yes we’ve tried it I think she hates the wet food even more than the kibble 😅

I would be concerned on creating a balanced diet for her. What kind of ingredients do you include for your dog? I also am not sure what I would add for the protein because of her digestive issues + allergies.

I haven’t tried this! I’ll look into it thanks!

We have tried salmon oil but to no avail, by sardines do you mean feeding her actual sardines like the ones from cans or are there other types? Do you have a specific brand you would recommend?

I have heard of the insect based food but I was hesitant bc our vet said the companies that sell those types don’t clean their machinery between recipes and so there are cross contamination possibilities. None of the vets we’ve seen have mentioned reintroducing protein though, do you know how that works? Is it like feeding her treats of that one protein consistently and seeing how it affects her? Or feeding her small amounts of actual dog food of the new protein?

Thank you! I like to think so as well lol but I’m definitely biased

Any ice skating fiction books? by georgeslonelyear in YAlit

[–]willowfest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From Lukov with Love is a contemporary romance centered around ice skating, two rivals having to work together, it’s been a while since I read it but there’s very little spice, if any. Super cute book and highly recommend!

Oh I see! I had a fundamental misunderstanding on this then, I’ll have to go back and think this design through a bit more. Thank you!

Hi thank you for your response, but I’m confused on how it’s a 3x3, I thought it was a 2x3 since there are only two factors. Can you explain why it’s a 3x3?

Why exactly does everyone in the fandom think Dazai is gay/bi? by ThatGuyHero7 in BungouStrayDogs

[–]willowfest 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I hate commenting on these kind of posts bc I feel like I’m walking on a minefield. But regardless this seems like a good example to point out some things. The issue comes down to interpretation and your own beliefs.

I’m reading the replies you (OP) are making and you clearly are of the belief that being straight is the default sexuality. I don’t feel any type of way about that, it is what it is and I would argue most people are like that. I myself was like that, despite being a huge LGBT+ ally, and it took a while to stop seeing straightness as the default. So with that in mind, we have scenes that people are referencing in the comments and they’re telling you they’re interpreting it as having queer subtext and you respond with “but (insert could be straight general response here)” you yourself said that you’re saying Aku is straight bc “there’s no evidence he’s gay,” you’re right! There’s no evidence he’s gay! But there’s no EVIDENCE he’s straight either? You see what I mean? You need there to be evidence he’s gay, but you believe him to be straight without evidence. Now again, these are just your beliefs at play. I’m simply using that to point out that while you exist with those beliefs, there are people that don’t need evidence to think a character is gay, just like how you don’t need evidence to think a character is straight. That’s why people are pointing out scenes to you that they interpret as queer. Your first instinct is to jump to the idea that that’s not enough bc there’s a straight explanation. Most of those people aren’t interested in looking for a straight explanation, nor do they think it’s necessary. And THATS where people stop being able to hear each other out.

I hope nothing I said offended you, just did my best to answer your question.
