Question by L A: My ex is trying to prove me unfit what can i do?
My ex husband is trying to take the kids we have together away from me. We have not always seen eye to eye on things and that is why we are no longer married . We have been divorced for a year now and have been separated for 3 years. I have always had the kids with me and living with me because he could never afford a place for him to live.
He would always be living or staying with friends in there home. In the time we were separated he used to stalk me and have his friends come and watch my house and look in my windows at night to see if anyone was there at my house and if there was he would come by and cause a scene. I moved away form the town that we both lived in because he would follow me and have me followed by his friends. It was out of control so I moved me and our kids to as far as the court order would allow 60 miles or less without having to go back to court and getting it changed and so that i would not be in contempt of a court order. He calls me all the time saying that he is gonna take the kids and he is gonna prove that I am a unfit parent with out saying it in those exact words but it is enough that is scares me to death. Now he has a new girl friend that he just moved in with. She has two girls. And they have a room mate that also lives there in the 3 bedroom house. He has our kids every other weekend with him but in the house they are living in there isn’t enough room for our kids and all the others that live there. So our kids have to sleep on the floor with the dogs which wouldnt be a big deal except for that our 5yr old has major allergies to animals and has problem with breathing when they are around him. Every time the kids come home form there dads place to mine. Our 3 year old has a huge rash on here private. Our 5 and 9 year old has wet the bed. And our 7year old has a huge rash on his stomache that is caused by not putting medicine on his skin for his exzima. Beacause i have physical custody of the kids I need some dvice on what to do How can I fight Him. PLEASE HELP!!! PLEASE give me some advice on what I can do to relieve my stress and put my mind as rest.
Thank you Valley Girl!

I have takin the kids to the doctor and have got the doctor to right perscriptions for him to have at his place and to make sure that he understands how important there health is. And it has been noted on there File!

He sounds like he’s using the kids to get to you.
I don’t think he would get full custody of them, as you said the house is too small and he has a past of being weird (he is unfit to have your children).
Your kids have got these rashes because of him not you – if he thinks he’s capable to look after your children, why is he doing such a bad job???
You sound like the best person to look after your children.

Good Luck.

Question by sunset8949: Is this a scratch, pink eye, or something else?
My friend invited me to spend the night at her house last night. She has 3 cats and a dog. As far as I know, I’m not allergic to cats or dogs, but I’m thinking I might be a little bit because I was a little sniffly and sneezy last night, and my younger brother is allergic to dogs.

Anyways, because of that, I was rubbing my eyes more than usual because they were kind of watery from allergies. Today I noticed that the outside of my left eye is really red. I thought maybe it was because I rubbed it too much, which happens sometimes with me. So I put some Visine in my eye directly on that spot and it burned/stung for about 5 seconds, which doesn’t happen when I put in eye drops. So I’m thinking it’s a scratch or something, but I don’t wear contacts or anything so I can’t really figure out how I would have scratched it unless it was from the rubbing.

Also, on the bottle of Visine it said it expired in February 2010. That wouldn’t cause a burning sensation though, right?

Anyways, the Visine isn’t making the redness go away in that spot. The possibility of pink eye crossed my mind, but I don’t think that’s what it is (I had pink eye once when I was in middle school).

Is there anything I can do, assuming it is a scratch, to make the redness go away or to make it heal faster?

Here is a picture. I had to use the flash on the camera because it didn’t really show up that well without the flash, which is why my skin looks REALLY white lol.

Hey, So, it looks like you just rubbed it a lot, but I’m not a doctor of any type and that picture isnt the greatest…so if it persists, definetly go see a doctor of some kind (eye or MD)

Answer by Robert
Alot of people have crooked toes and fingers.

You could need braces, hell I got an extra set of wisdom teeth (8 total instead of 4)

I love meat as well, especially steaks medium rare.

Could be the dogs either don’t like you or they spend alot of time in your room.

Same as above about the dogs might not like you.

My eyes change from brown to dark brown depending on the light, alot of people’s eyes change.

Alot of animals are skinned. I have alot of dreams about being in Pandemonium but that does not make me a demon.

Same for when I get mad. Again, most people are like that.

If a lion came crashing through your window, you would be afraid. Its one thing to imagine something, another for it to actually happen.

My fingernails grow extremely fast, I can clip them as short as can be and by the next day they have grown almost a quarter of an inch.

Again, lots of people are double jointed.

Your instincts can’t tell you to learn, with instincts, either you are fearless or not.

Both my sense of smell and hearing are really good. Everybody is different in some way.

The myths of a country you descended from do not control who you are, its just your heritage.

Perhaps the wolf spirit is your animal spirit. Keep in mind that online tests and research can not truly predict what animal you are like. I matched up with sharks, polar bears, and wolves before. Though I am alot like a polar bear, love the cold, big (6’6″ tall) and can be mean.

My grandma, what big hands you have? All the better to grab you with! (couldn’t resist)

Question by Vivian L: I want a puppy but my mom won’t let me! My dad doesn’t care, but i can’t get one if my mom doesnt approve.
I am 12 and I found this dog online in a pound nearby. My family, me, my older brother, my mom and my dad, all are allergic to the hair, but the allergies aren’t bad. Sometimes we don’t even get an allergic reaction. The worst things that have happened to us are itchy skin and light hives. My 13 yr old brother and I each own betta fish by ourselves. We are very responsible and get good grades (a’s, b’s) and we almost never get in trouble. Also, i’m asian, i can’t really clean my room, because its already clean. I have plants that i take care of and water everyday and i play the piano. When i ask my mom if i can get a dog, she says its too much trouble because most of my relatives live in L.A (I live in sacramento), and we visit them atleast once a year. We also travel to other states and countries once a year for fun. I could keep the dog in the backyard + my aunt has dogs, so when i travel, i can leave it there.
(We don’t do many chores, but i still don’t think it’d work) vet costs to
Here’s some info on the dog i want to get:

Kahlua is about 2 years old and weighs about 13 lbs. He gets along great with other dogs. I spent some time with this little guy and found him to be quite friendly. He’ll wag his tail in greeting and enjoys taking walks with you. He enjoys petting and is not timid. Thank you for your interest.

My advice is get a hypoallergenic dog ( dogs that cause less allergies then other dogs). The reason they cause less allergies is becuase of their special hair. Unlike other dogs that have fur that they shed all the time, these dogs have hair more like ours that barely sheds. People with allergies are usually allergic to the dander of the dog, and if a dog sheds less then you will contact the dander less.

These are hypoallergenic dogs

Afghan Hound

Barbet

Bichon Frisé

Bolognese

Greyhound

Havanese

Maltese

Poodle

Portuguese Water Dog

Schnauzer

Shih-Tzu

Silky terrier

Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier

Welsh Terrier

West Highland White Terrier (westies)

Yorkshire.

And maybe you can get a small dog which you have travel with easily and take with your on your trips ?

As for convincing your mom I can’t help you much here. I’m in the same situation and my mom still wont budge, even after I do excelent in school and do plenty of chores.

Question by cotigostar: What can I do for my dog? Has anyone had this issue?
I have a Golden Retriever who is about 8 years old who has a pretty bad skin condition. We have had him since he was a puppy about 4 months old and we always took care of his medical needs ourselves. I grew up on a horse ranch so the vet always came to us and took care of the dogs too while he was over. My dad would also grab de-wormer and preventatives from the feed store ad take care of all that at home. Being as we lived out in the country our dog food options were limited to what was available at the feed store so I don’t know if that contributed to my dog’s condition at all. He was always fine as a puppy and early on in adulthood but somewhere around 2-3 years old he started developing nasty sores around his neck. They would come and go and they seemed like maybe hot spots (?) with green pus. He never scratched at them or even seemed to care but they were pretty gross so I’d try to rinse them off and put ointment on them, not knowing what else to do when I was 12 or 13. As he got older he developed them more but I never knew what they were and eventually my uncles took over the ranch when my family moved away. They watched over the dogs but they didn’t know anything about them as they all came from another country. When we sold the ranch we brought the dog to our house and that was the first time I had seen him in years. He smelled horrible and even after a few baths it wouldn’t go away. We noticed him scratching alot and shaking his head so my parents took him to the vet. From what they understood (because they don’t speak very much english) the vet told them he had an ear infection and a mild skin condition. They gave him anti-biotics, ear drops, and a medicated shampoo (this I looked into for my parents to double check the doses). Now that I am at school I came to visit for the holidays and he still looks pretty bad. I work at a pet store and just from being around so many different people and different dogs have started thinking about different possibilities. Could a food allergy cause those “hot spots” and how can they be treated? Is there anything else that might be causing it? How about his ears? He used up his whole prescription of ear drops and anti-biotics and my parents said it got better only for a short while and then got worse again. I hate to see him shaking all the time and scratching everywhere. I was thinking maybe shaving him down just so I can get a better look at him. We live in Florida so the weather isn’t really a concern with shaving him down (he won’t be very cold). They spent around 1000-1500 dollars on him at the vet and with how the economy is right now don’t have the money to take him in again. I’m 19 and in school so I might have about 1 or 2 hundred to spend on him but not much more. Worst case scenario I am not against putting him down because I don’t want to see him in pain but I really want to do everything I can first.

Another thing about him is that he has what seem to be lumps on his neck but I don’t think they are tumors. Again I have seen dogs with tumors and it just seems like maybe calloused skin? If anyone has any advice or has every encountered this let me know. I spoke with my parents about paying for his food myself if it will have an affect on him and sending them medication if it really is just a severe case of hot spots so any ideas you may have just let me know. Thank you!
I am not asking for charity. I know very well that dogs require medical attention from a professional veterinarian. I also didn’t ask anyone to sit and chat with my parents. I am asking if anyone has ever had this situation and can offer some advice and suggestions. My parents are not ignorant and would gladly take the dog to the vet if they had the money. However right now they are not in the best position and the $ 1000 dollars they already spent on his didn’t make a difference. So again if anyone has come across this before let me know what you did and how it worked out. I will definitely call the vet and see about changing his diet and look into something that might calm his irritated skin for the time being. Thank you everyone for the help so far.

Do you actually work at at store where they sell puppies? If so, quit ASAP.

Pet Store puppies all come from Puppy Mills.

http://stoppuppymills.org/ http://saynotopetstorepuppies.com/ http://millbusters.com/

Take the dog in and talk to the vet about it’s diet, or any products used on the dog.

Some dogs are allergic to corn, so your ask your vet about dog foods without corn. I buy Eukanuba Naturally Wild for my dog. It has no corn, and not super expensive.
