My boy (1y 10m, 33lb, intact) has had diarrhea since Sunday. Took him to the vet Monday after he threw up too (and was up in the night with mucus stool). Vitals and fecal sample were clean; doc gave him a nausea shot and recommended keeping him on pro-pectalin tablets and proviable capsule (which I’d been doing since Sunday).

I called back Tuesday cause he hadn’t eaten since Sunday and his stools seemed to be getting worse - now they were red jelly. Vet tech recommended white rice and chicken - I explained he’s on chicken-free diet, so she said white fish. And to mix in some kibble to see if it’ll enticed him to eat. I cooked up rice and tilapia, he loved it, mixed in some kibble, and he ate about half the mixture. Awesome! Poop next morning was more solid. Awesome! Poop in house later in the day and outside in the evening were runny and speckled with red…not awesome.

I call back today, asking if I should leave the kibble out of the mixture to make it more bland (they were going to check with the doc and get back to me on this…never happened), and they recommended their prescription proviable (vs the OTC I was using - fair) and feeding him GI-Biome, which is chicken-based. They knew from Monday that he’s on a chicken-free diet, but if I wanted to try it anyway, that’s what they usually give to treat diarrhea.

Here’s the thing (and what I said on the phone): poodles are prone to chicken allergies, and he’s been on a poultry-free diet since birth. I was told by his breeder to keep him off chicken. I don’t want to add in another variable by feeding him chicken for the first time, and then if he continues to be sick not know if it’s from the original cause or the chicken. They literally didn’t have a none-chicken option to offer. I’m just frustrated and feel like they’re not taking me seriously. Am I not being logical??

Anyway, I decided to just feed him white rice and tilapia tonight and see if that makes his stool better or worse. Any words of wisdom or advice are appreciated! I don’t think he’s had a bout of diarrhea last this long, especially one with blood.

Oh and his regular kibble is Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Skin and Stomach Lamb and Oat Meal.

New here! I am on a (demoralizing) hunt for a strapless bra, and stumbled across this sub. I have been wearing 38DD/40D/40DD depending on the style, and it does the trick. But after trying on every strapless bra in various sizes I could get my hands on, I’ve come to the conclusion that I don’t know what size I should be wearing.

I took the calculator, and it gave me 38J (us) or 38GG (uk). I find it hard to believe I would be about 5 cup sizes bigger than what I’m currently wearing, so I’d love your advice. Here are my measurements:

Loose Underbust: 40.5”

Snug Underbust: 39”

Tight Underbust: 37”

Standing Bust: 48”

Leaning Bust: 51.5”

Lying Bust: 47”

ETA: I am top full, center full (I think), and close set.

My breasts do not have a lot of volume up top and naturally hang about two inches below my underbust line. I welcome brand recs too! Thanks in advance :)
