Idk what my stomachs issue is lol.
Seriously I could have a ton of pizza and be fine, but I have one small cup of ice cream and I'm nauseas, and there are sharp pains at times.
Like seriously it doesn't make sense at all sometimes.
I think my stomach just has attitude

Yeah, my stomach gets upset everytime I eat bacon but I could eat pizza for ages and be fine.

I just had a discussion (not here) with a 13 year old fishkeeper who had been told he could keep a predatory fish that grows to 30 inches in a 36 gallon aquarium. He was so sincere, and so certain someone had told him it was okay. He called that research. He was offering $30 to anyone who would sell him the fish, which would have cost over $100 before about the same amount in shipping. He was so certain he was right that I was glad the price would have kept him from getting what he wants.

What kind of person sets up a kid like that? Someone mean. Grrr.

That's what's wrong with this hobby...

It's not just this hobby - the kid was set up by someone who was probably laughing at him. 13 year old aquarists have a way of wanting everything, and this poor kid was a sucker for hearing what he wanted to hear. He isn't alone in that - there's a lot of it about with adults too.

Poor Luna... She has been coughing a lot. You can hear all the mucous build up in her throat. She has been struggling a little to bark as well (she still barks just not as loud and not as much).

If it’s that bad take her to the vet asap if she’s not already been. If she has already been, call the vet and update them

What's the matter with Luna? kennel cough? Hope Kennel Cough - you know they have antibiotics for that. Hope it's not something worse. Has she had her shots?

Yeah was just about to ask if she’s had the bordetella vaccine or not. Either way she needs to go in

Yes kennel cough.
She has ALL her vaccines up to date. My mom says if the cough doesn't go away she'll be going to the vets. When my mom was looking stuff up online she said most sites said it's fairly treatable at home.
So we have been trying very hard to help her.

 

[Rocky99823 33]

I have to remember, it's only been 2-3 days since she has shown symptoms (I think) so she hasn't been dealing with it for a long time. We are going to give her some more honey tonight and hopefully tomorrow more time in the steam.
