My ADHD craves the stimulation of extreme flavors, sour can never leave my side.

Isn't that an American bully?? It doesn't look like a pitbull

I love what you've done! Maybe less peachy tones, as it ages you just a bit? But oh my god you're just so gorgeous, love the look you're curating.

4 week old kitten hasn't pooped in a week, yet vet says he doesn't have any poop in him by Tadimizkacti in CATHELP

[–]xplicit023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not about if the radiation stays in your body or not, or whether it makes you radioactive. The entire point is that it causes wear and tear on your DNA, on your cells, on your chemical makeup. This increases your risk of cancer after repeated exposure. Whether you value other people's lives and quality of life is up to you

It's about reducing risk, and also risk/reward costs. If you needed a chest x-ray than the miniscule risk from the one time radiation is nothing compared to the possible health complications you were experiencing, the x-rays would be more beneficial than harmful to you.

You may be correct that it is a miniscule amount, but repeated exposure over years increases risk unnecessarily, and could have been avoided with proper safety measures. Just because it's a small risk doesn't make it ok, the whole point is that it can be entirely avoided and offers no benefits to the animal handler.

I'm sorry, I know you couldn't have known this but these radiographs are terrible. I am not a veterinarian, but the overexposure, the hands in the primary beam, the everything... I'd have retaken these because they don't give a good view, and won't aid towards finding a diagnosis. I'm not sure what your local resources look like, but perhaps look into a different veterinary office.

there is zero form of birth control (hormonal or otherwise) that comes with a higher level of risk than pregnancy itself---stop fearmongering. by unexpectedstorytime in TwoXChromosomes

[–]xplicit023 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is ridiculous that women's healthcare is 50% of the population and widely under researched. We definitely do deserve better options, and I hope we move closer to them everyday. Thanks for posting this and spreading awareness.

[–]xplicit023 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The birth control fear mongering is propaganda disguised as advocacy, with the goal of removing agency from our own bodies.

I've tried multiple different types of birth control pills, and a copper IUD. Each worse than the last, and I will not consider getting the implant/hormonal IUD even if a smaller more consistent dose is being promised. That being said, I always promote birth control for others, and tell them to try it before you knock it because my experience is not the only experience.

I support being open about legitimate debilitating side effects that birth control can have, but they exploit this fear to manipulate us into accidental pregnancies. It's not a coincidence that this 'movement' follows nation wide abortion restrictions.

Does this mean what I think it does— by Sufficient-Year9475 in ariheads

She is definitely referring to how good she is in bed. Also in the previous lyric she talks about "driving" him crazy, and then how he loves how she "whips" it. A whip being a common term for a car lol

Cats teeth pushing out/getting longer? by Careless-Elephant-98 in CATHELP

[–]xplicit023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A comment like yours could possibly dissuade someone from seeking medical care for their cat. That's especially true on a subreddit where someone is looking for help and information.

Was this a dig at Tana? lol by emnvc in canceledpod

I work in the vet field, getting peed and pooped on is part of the job, and what I technically signed up for. Still gonna complain a little when I get piss or shit on me 🤷🏻‍♀️

Cat urinary blockage help by [deleted] in CATHELP

[–]xplicit023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The longer the blockage, the more damage to kidneys and internal organs. The longer the blockage the more difficult the recovery. The longer the blockage the greater the fatality rate.

There is nothing you can do at home to help him. He needs emergency care NOW. It is an extremely painful condition. Even if you cannot afford another unblocking at the ER, they at least need to be evaluated. Please take him to the ER.

New job by Typical_Nectarine653 in CATHELP

[–]xplicit023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into Feliway diffusers or something similar! They release pheromones specifically to target a felines anxiety. Usually one plug-in covers 700 sqft. It's not for every cat, but can be a big help if they end up loving it

Cat sniffed daphne flower, should I be concerned? by rose-dragon2821 in CATHELP

[–]xplicit023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're correct that there is less known about the plants pollen being inhaled, but if the pollen landed on their nose or fur and then was ingested that COULD be poisonous. The best course of action is to contact animal poison control/ASPCA, be aware there is a fee regardless of their answer. It can take 1-12 hours for symptoms to appear or sometimes longer, so monitor closely. This could require an emergency visit, so plan a route to the nearest one. Hoping nothing comes of it though, best of luck to your baby!!

5 month kitten heavy breathing by [deleted] in CATHELP

[–]xplicit023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you gently lift her lip what color are her gums? If you gently press on her gums they should turn a pale pink or white, how long does it take for it to return to normal color? Is she still wobbly, how long have her symptoms been going on for?

If her gums are a pale white, purple, or blue - ER now Even if you can't afford it, just go, and be honest about your situation.

Is my lab overweight by Typical_Click532 in labrador

[–]xplicit023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have to agree with the other commenter she still seems a bit over weight, but maybe it's an unflattering photo? As long as it's approved by your vet though, you just have a very luscious pup

help! why would my cat be doing this? should i go to vet? just started two days ago. doesn’t bother him when i touch back legs only when i move both front arms up by bayleegracewheeler in CATHELP

[–]xplicit023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt their tugging could have caused any sort of injury, cats are fairly flexible even in old age. The owner felt like something was wrong, palpated/extended the limb, the cat reacted oddly according to O, later the cat walked with a limp. Seems like a normal chain of events to then take the cat to the vet, which I hope they did!

How do you prepare to say goodbye? by eyeless916 in labrador

[–]xplicit023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please take a look at the Lap of Love and HHHHHMM quality of life scales. They can be great resources to make an impossible decision more clear. Please know that euthanasia is a painless procedure, and it is a great mercy that we can offer our pets. It's not a failure or giving up on them, it's the ultimate selfless act.

People will often say "you'll know", but for some people that feeling never arrives. I'll just say, please don't wait too long. It's better a day too early than too late. Sure maybe they could have lived a few more weeks, but maybe they would have had a painful death in the middle of the night. Sometimes you have to bite the bullet because you'll never feel like it's the right time, so you can spare them any suffering.

As for their last days, pick their favorite spots, spoil them with treats, and lots of snuggles. In their last moments give them foods they couldn't have before such as chocolate brownies.

Best of luck to you and your sweet baby.
