... Ranting...Then she also slowly killed a goat. There was also three horses put down in one week. I don't know how that is acceptable that three horses have to get put down in one week. Horses got old. I don't know if she's took it into her own hands to kill the horses but most people who have old sick animals call a large animal vet to the property and humanely euthanize. They don't need to suffer in agony and get their brains blown out.

If a dog's behavior is intractable to where it is killing the neighbor's livestock then fix it so the dog is not roaming around off leash. A puppy needs to be trained. A dog needs training. A 14-month-old canine is still a puppy. Many dog breeds do not mature until they are 3 years old. She needed a trainer, to research training that breed, or rehome the dog. Goats are known to be ornery and mean, she should know these things before she gets farm animals.

It doesn't take much xylitol to kill a dog or a cat. thankfully cats don't have a taste for sweet things but it will kill them, it's poisonous. I won't allow it in my house and I'm always reading labels to make sure no xylitol is in things because it could fall on the floor and my dog could eat it. She is a medical service dog so thankfully she has been taught not to eat things off the ground. Xylitol in gum is very common and people spit their gum out all over the place.

Hopefully it's going to be okay. It could be staph infection or cellulitis going on.

Xylitol is deadly poisonous to dogs and cats.

The finger-like projections are called villi, and they are in the small intestine. They help by absorbing nutrients into the blood.

18-year-olds are often referred to as teenagers when it comes to crimes. An 18 year old is considered an adult.

Everything is disjointed, confused, altered - except for the monitor.

... oh that? Pesky kidneys. This is why you have two of them. It'll buff out. Take some maalox and see if that helps. 🙄 (sarcasm)

Thyroid disorders cause high cholesterol and can cause non-alcoholic fatty liver disease because it's unable to process cholesterol effectively. A person can have fatty liver and be active and thin, don't eat sugar, junk food, drink, etc.

Edit... also just because someone is taking thyroid medicine, the cholesterol issue doesn't always resolve.

Same. And worrying if it's done a good enough job. The colonoscopy the time before my last one I had PEG solution and the magnesium citrate. Then I thought I was going to die. My blood pressure got really low and I couldn't function for a couple days. The doctor had me on a re-check in 5 years so the colonoscopy I had last year they only had me do PEG along with the liquid diet and that was so much better. Still not pleasant but I didn't get so weak and faint. I think there was a shortage of Mg citrate. If you can just do the PEG solution that might help and be enough. I don't go back for 9 years and hopefully the blood test will be enough.

I have a service dog and have no questions what breeds my dog is, but for some working dogs it's important like you said.
