I walked into the kitchen to find that my dog threw up white foam on the rug right by his food bowl. great way to start a day
hes generally healthy. only thing that came up was a small puddle of white foamy stuff, no actual food in it, no blood that i can see, no weird color. he did it like one time that i know of. hes acting normal right now, wagging his tail, asking for breakfast like nothing happened
im trying to figure out if i can send the kids to school or if im about to spend $800 at the emergency vet in the morning
he didnt eat anything weird that i know of but with 3 kids in the house who knows what fell on the floor over the weekend. no chocolate or anything obviously bad that i can think of. he was fine last night, played fetch, ate dinner normally, slept through the night
Also, when the dog threw up white foam does it actually matter or its just empty stomach throw up. like ive heard if it happens once and the dog seems fine you can wait it out, but if it keeps happening or theres other symptoms then thats bloat territory which is really serious. he doesnt have any of that as far as i can tell but im not exactly a vet

i dont wanna rush to emergency over a one time thing but i also dont wanna be that guy who waits too long and regrets it, anyone had this happen? your dog threw up white foam was it usually nothing or did it turn out to be something real? and whats the time frame i should be watching him for before deciding if this is fine vs needs a vet visit today

im kinda scared about how much of my stuff is floating around online, i got a weird call last week with way too much personal info, freaked me out, so started looking into online reputation management because a coworker said i should hire someone to clean up my digital footprint
but the more i read the more it feels off. these companies want my full name, old addresses, jobs, family info, basically everything just to get started. so im paying someone to build a giant file on me to protect me from people who have files on me. that cant be right
also seems like most of what they do is just opt out stuff from data brokers that i could do myself for free if i sat down for a weekend. and some of them create a bunch of new pages with your name on them to push down the bad ones, which sounds like the opposite of privacy to me
anyone here actually used online reputation management and felt like it helped, or is this just one of those things where you pay someone to make the problem worse and not know it? trying to figure out if im being too suspicious or if my gut is right on this one

literally eating sushi with my roommate rn (procrastinating on a paper oops) and i dropped some edamame on the floor and my dog like LUNGED for it before i could grab it and ate like 3 of them???
Google says different things if anyones wondering
he seems totally fine rn, just staring at me for more lol, but like... should i be worried??? he ate them WITH the pods because i didnt have time to stop him
does anyone know if edamame is actually bad for dogs or am i freaking out over nothing??? Hes fine but idk if i should call the vet or wait or what 😅
help pls im stressed and my roommate is laughing at me for googling this instead of just asking here first lmaooo ✨

I really need someone to tell me the truth, I live in a quiet suburb with my husband, our two teenagers, and what I THOUGHT was a perfectly well behaved 4 year old spayed female tabby. I keep reading answers online about whether do female cats spray the way males do, or if what I'm dealing with is something different entirely.

For the past three weeks, I have been finding small wet spots on the back of my dining room curtains and on the side of the loveseat in the living room. At first I thought it was my husband's fault for not paying attention to where the kids put their water bottles, but that theory did not hold up. Then I caught the cat yesterday morning, tail straight up, quivering, backing up against the curtain and doing the EXACT thing I have only ever seen male cats do in YouTube videos. I almost dropped my coffee. She is spayed. She has been spayed since she was 5 months old. We have all her paperwork from the rescue. She has never done this before, not once in four years. Nothing has changed in our routine that I can think of, except the neighbors got a new outdoor cat about a month ago who I have seen sitting on our back patio staring through the sliding door. Could that really be enough to set her off? I have cleaned the spots with that enzyme cleaner and she went RIGHT BACK to the same curtain. I called my regular vet and the earliest they can see her is next Thursday, which is just unacceptable in my opinion but apparently everyone here got a kitten this year.

So please, someone with actual experience, do female cats spray even after being spayed for years? Is this a behavioral thing I can fix at home, or am I looking at a situation that needs an emergency visit? I am trying very hard not to panic but my couch is not cheap.
