I tried to go slow this week and be kind with myself and didn't push myself to do things I didn't feel like doing. I feel better compared to one week ago and to the whole of July, where there were moments I thought I wouldn't make it to the next day. I am still confused and in need of stability in all areas but someday I will have it

Doctors visits as an AFAB person that have absolutely nothing to do with potential pregnancy and do not at all match symptoms of pregnancy be like:

Doc: "When was your last period?"

Me: "I'm currently on my period, it started (date)."

Doc: "And are you on any birth control?"

Me: "Yeah I have the nexplanon arm implant."

Doc: "And are you currently sexually active?"

Me: "Nope, haven't been for years."

~ Fifteen minutes later ~

Doc: "Well your pregnancy test (that we didn't tell you we were doing or ask your consent for) came back negative so it's not that."

No. Fucking. Duh.

dogs are more psychologically and emotionally similar to humans than any other animal. in this sense it is an error to overemphasize breed when it comes to personality, because dogs are individuals primarily shaped by environment. yes, certain instincts are in-built for a generality of a breed (by far the most consistent and prevalent example being herding), but an individual dog will have unique fears, habits, likes and dislikes, quirks, temperament, physicality. this is missing from most discussions on the topic but it is well-understood by animal behaviorists. there is no particular behavior that all members of a breed display, and there is no monolithic personality that automatically applies to all members of a breed, full stop.

sometimes being an adult is also soft-core parenting your peers into not dying from an impacted molar because they did not know you could just "go to a dentist" or that you could get dental insurance independently, as opposed to workplace dental. my sister's boyfriend has a whole flock of 20 something guy friends who have somehow made it this long with very little information about how the world works. the boyfriend is coming home telling my sister stuff like "wow. sucks that Kyle's tooth is still killing him. nothing you can do tho" and then my sister just sits there a moment and i can see her thinking "do i let this go, or do i do something?" and she inevitably caves and goes "okay so when you say his tooth is killing him, do you mean literally?" honestly i think schools should focus more on "how insurance works and how to get it" and "this is how to figure out what kind of state/federal support is available and who is eligible for it, and how to apply" and "yes anyone can go to a food pantry you don't have to be a certain level of poor or provide proof" and then "these are signs that you should go to the doctor/dentist ASAP" and "here are some basic lessons on how to clean/maintain your house/apartment." throw in some info on basic hygiene and actual decent sex ed just for fun. because i swear to god, there are a LOT of people who do NOT know these things, and i'm pretty sure it is legit killing some of them.

If you think there is even the slightest possibility you or someone you know has been exposed to rabies GO TO THE HOSPITAL IMMEDIATELY. There are only a handful of people who have become symptomatic and lived in all of human history.

You will not be one of them.

The only way is to get treatment before you develop symptoms.

What's the Endocannabinoid System?

Consider the phrase “endocannabinoid.” The phrase “cannabinoid” is derived from the word “cannabis,” and “endo” refers to the fact that it is formed naturally within the body. As a result, “endocannabinoid” actually refers to cannabis-like compounds that exist naturally in our dogs (and our) bodies. Our dogs, us, our cats, and other mammals all have the same endocannabinoid system. The ECS itself…

Phew. This one took, uh… a bit longer than expected due to other projects both irl and art-wise, but it’s finally here. The long-awaited domestic animal infographic! Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough space to cover every single domestic animal (I’m so sorry, reindeer and koi, my beloveds) but I tried to include as many of the “major ones” as possible.

I made this chart in response to a lot of the misunderstandings I hear concerning domestic animals, so I hope it’s helpful!

Further information I didn’t have any room to add or expand on:

🐈 “Breed” and “species” are not synonyms! Breeds are specific to domesticated animals. A Bengal Tiger is a species of tiger. A Siamese is a breed of domestic cat.

🐀 Different colors are also not what makes a breed. A breed is determined by having genetics that are unique to that breed. So a “bluenose pitbull” is not a different breed from a “rednose pitbull”, but an American Pitbull Terrier is a different breed from an American Bully! Animals that have been domesticated for longer tend to have more seperate breeds as these differing genetics have had time to develop.

🐕 It takes hundreds of generations for an animal to become domesticated. While the “domesticated fox experiment” had interesting results, there were not enough generations involved for the foxes to become truly domesticated and their differences from wild foxes were more due to epigenetics (heritable traits that do not change the DNA sequence but rather activate or deactivate parts of it; owed to the specific circumstances of its parents’ behavior and environment.)

🐎 Wild animals that are raised in human care are not domesticated, but they can be considered “tamed.” This means that they still have all their wild instincts, but are less inclined to attack or be frightened of humans. A wild animal that lives in the wild but near human settlements and is less afraid of humans is considered “habituated.” Tamed and habituated animals are not any less dangerous than wild animals, and should still be treated with the same respect. Foxes, otters, raccoons, servals, caracals, bush babies, opossums, owls, monkeys, alligators, and other wild animals can be tamed or habituated, but they have not undergone hundreds of generations of domestication, so they are not domesticated animals.

🐄 Also, as seen above, these animals have all been domesticated for a reason, be it food, transport, pest control, or otherwise, at a time when less practical options existed. There is no benefit to domesticating other species in the modern day, so if you’ve got a hankering for keeping a wild animal as a pet, instead try to find the domestic equivalent of that wild animal! There are several dog breeds that look and behave like wolves or foxes, pigeons and chickens can make great pet birds and have hundreds of colorful fancy breeds, rats can be just as intelligent and social as a small monkey (and less expensive and dangerous to boot,) and ferrets are pretty darn close to minks and otters! There’s no need to keep a wolf in a house when our ancestors have already spent 20,000+ years to make them house-compatible.

🐖 This was stated in the infographic, but I feel like I must again reiterate that domestic animals do not belong in the wild, and often become invasive when feral. Their genetics have been specifically altered in such a way that they depend on humans for optimal health. We are their habitat. This is why you only really see feral pigeons in cities, and feral cats around settlements. They are specifically adapted to live with humans, so they stay even when unwanted. However, this does not mean they should live in a way that doesn’t put their health and comfort as a top priority! If we are their world, it is our duty to make it as good as possible. Please research any pet you get before bringing them home!

Treatment Options for Bacterial Pneumonia in Dogs and Cats

Bacterial pneumonia in dogs and cats is a serious respiratory condition that affects both dogs and cats. It can lead to severe health issues if not treated promptly. At Tri-County Animal Hospital, we prioritize your pet’s health and well-being, offering comprehensive treatment options for bacterial pneumonia in pets. Understanding the treatment options available can help pet owners make informed decisions and ensure their furry friends receive the best care possible.

Understanding Bacterial Pneumonia in Pets

Bacterial pneumonia is an infection of the lungs caused by bacteria, leading to inflammation and difficulty breathing. Common bacteria that cause pneumonia in pets include Bordetella bronchiseptica, Streptococcus, and Staphylococcus species. Pets with bacterial pneumonia often show symptoms such as coughing, difficulty breathing, lethargy, fever, and loss of appetite. If you notice any of these signs, it is crucial to seek veterinary attention immediately.

Diagnostic Process

Before starting treatment, a thorough diagnosis is essential. At Tri-County Animal Hospital, our veterinarians perform a series of diagnostic tests to confirm bacterial pneumonia and identify the causative bacteria. These tests may include:

Physical Examination: Listening to the lungs for abnormal sounds like crackles or wheezes.

Chest X-rays: To visualize the lungs and identify areas of infection and inflammation.

Blood Tests: To assess the overall health of the pet and identify any underlying conditions.

Tracheal Wash or Bronchoalveolar Lavage: Collecting samples from the lower airways to identify the specific bacteria causing the infection.

Treatment Options for Pet’s Bacterial Pneumonia

Once bacterial pneumonia in pets is diagnosed, prompt and effective treatment is necessary to ensure a full recovery. The treatment plan typically includes the following:

Antibiotic Therapy

The cornerstone of treating bacterial pneumonia in dogs and cats is antibiotic therapy. The choice of antibiotics depends on the type of bacteria identified and their sensitivity to specific drugs. Commonly used antibiotics include amoxicillin, doxycycline, and enrofloxacin. The treatment duration usually ranges from two to six weeks, depending on the severity of the infection and the pet's response to the medication. It is crucial to follow the veterinarian’s prescription and complete the entire course of antibiotics, even if the pet’s symptoms improve before the medication is finished.

Supportive Care

Supportive care is essential to help pets recover from bacterial pneumonia. This may include:

Hydration: Ensuring the pet remains well-hydrated to thin mucus and support lung function. In severe cases, intravenous fluids may be necessary.

Nutritional Support: Providing a high-quality, nutritious diet to support the immune system and overall health.

Oxygen Therapy: For pets with severe breathing difficulties, oxygen therapy may be administered to improve oxygen levels in the blood.

Nebulization and Coupage

Nebulization involves the administration of aerosolized medications to the lungs, helping to loosen mucus and improve breathing. Coupage, a technique that involves gently tapping the chest, can help loosen and clear mucus from the lungs. At Tri-County Animal Hospital, we demonstrate these techniques to pet owners for at-home care.

Anti-inflammatory Medications

In some cases, anti-inflammatory medications may be prescribed to reduce lung inflammation and alleviate symptoms. These medications should only be used under the guidance of a veterinarian, as improper use can have adverse effects.

Rest and Recovery

Ensuring that pets get plenty of rest is crucial for their recovery. Limiting physical activity and providing a calm, stress-free environment can help pets heal faster. It’s important to monitor your pet closely and follow any specific care instructions provided by the veterinarian.

Follow-up Care

Regular follow-up visits to Tri-County Animal Hospital are essential to monitor the pet’s progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed. Follow-up chest X-rays and physical examinations help ensure that the infection is resolving and that there are no complications. In some cases, additional diagnostic tests may be required to confirm the pet's recovery.

Preventing Bacterial Pneumonia in Pets

Prevention is always better than cure. Here are some tips to reduce the risk of bacterial pneumonia in pets:

Vaccination: Ensure your pets are up-to-date on their vaccinations, especially those protecting against respiratory infections.

Good Hygiene: Maintain a clean living environment for your pets, and avoid exposing them to other animals with respiratory infections.

Regular Veterinary Check-ups: Routine health check-ups at Tri-County Animal Hospital can help detect and manage underlying health issues that may predispose pets to pneumonia.

Healthy Diet: Provide a balanced diet to support your pet's immune system and overall health.

Conclusion

Bacterial pneumonia in dogs and cats is a serious condition that requires prompt and effective treatment. At Tri-County Animal Hospital, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive care to help your pets recover and thrive. By understanding the treatment options and following the veterinarian's guidance, pet owners can ensure their furry friends receive the best possible care and make a full recovery. If you suspect your pet has bacterial pneumonia, don’t hesitate to contact us for an evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

Hi if a disabled person relies on another living being (i.e. service dog, ESA, caretaker, their parents) don't ask them "what happens when they die?". Unless it's a situation where the person has opened themself up to be a source of information this question is invasive and can be stressful for the person you're asking. Believe it or not, most people don't want to think about the death of a person or animal that they have a positive relationship with, and that goes double when their health and wellbeing depends on that person or animal. Most disabled people have thought about this and have a plan in place, or if they're unable to make a plan like that, someone who's caring for them has. It's fine to be curious but please consider the emotions of disabled people when you ask us questions about our disabilities.

I agree 100% but for a very different reason (not that I necessarily disagree with your reasoning, just that my reason for agreeing is different than the one you give), dogs that aren't service dogs often put service dogs (and either directly or indirectly, their owner/handler) at risk. If a non-service dog (which includes emotional support dogs, your dog isn't special because you fell for a scam) decides to jump at, bark at, or try to distract a service dog, it can literally cause a serious health episode if not death, if the dog isn't paying attention to alert their handler of an upcoming health event.

That's not even mentioning if the non-service dog attacks a service dog, it's not uncommon to have to retire that service dog. Meaning that now, while that service dog may still be able to alert and help at home, it can't often be taken out and about because any run in with another dog, will or can cause it to be unable to focus on it's job as a service dog.

So now this disabled person is once again house-bound, they have to spend the YEAR/S to train their service dog to their specific needs, the hundreds to THOUSANDS of dollars to get a service dog, all while being stuck at home, or risking their heath by going without a proper service dog.

Unless a dog is an actual service dog, for the health and safety of everyone, and ESPECIALLY disabled people, keep your dog inside or in specific spaces meant for dogs.

Also people with allergies to dogs exist, they should be able to exist in public without having to deal with allergies all because you couldn't handle leaving Fido alone for a few hours.

Don't get me wrong, I love dogs, I have a dog myself, but my love for dogs doesn't supersede my love & compassion for other people who are just trying to go about their day.

I hate hate hate hate how dog friendly everything is in the city now. Barring medical necessity, there is no reason to bring your dog to a restaurant, there is no reason to bring your dog to the grocery store, there is no reason to bring your dog to the nail salon. Dogs do not need to go everywhere you go why am I being forced to be around dogs all the time

Text is broken and in the middle is an excerpt from a leaked nhs document-> a) For medication sourced directly (e.g via the internet), explain the increased risks of harm due to the unregulated nature of these medicines/products. These may include the use of counterfeit chemicals, unsafe/unknown ancilliary ingredients or variability of potency etc. More information can be found here (link to nhs website). // b) Do not initiate or continue prescribing puberty surpressing hormones or gender affirming hormones. The General Medical Council's guidance to medical professionals on 'bridging prescriptions (a course of endocrine intervention managed by a healthcare professional outside of the specialised gender service while an individual is waiting to be seen) does not apply to care offered to young people under 18 years of age. // c) If the child/young person or their carer disregards your advice and you consider that this puts the child/young person at increased risk, then a safeguarding referral might also be appropriate in line with standard safeguarding approaches.

In the same thick white text on black background as previous image-> So an internal NHS document has been leaked basically asking trans kids on excruciatingly ling waiting lists to come to a 'mental health assessment' where the NHS will harvest their personal information & threaten their families with a social services referral if they're found to be on private blockers/hormones & refuse to come off them. // This country is for dogs i swear.
