Edit: I’ve opted to delete this post because I found myself getting overly frustrated by some of the responses giving basic advice that wasn’t applicable to my situation after I stated I wasn’t looking for advice. Instead of being increasingly frustrated (and thus curt in my responses) I’m just going to manage my own behaviors here and remove the post.
HOWEVER — I am not entirely deleting it because I would just like to say this since it’s really applicable to all of the posts on this sub. I recognize some of y’all were just trying to be helpful and had good intentions but for future reference — PLEASE 1) read the full post before commenting. Some of the advice here wasn’t even relevant to my situation; and 2) if someone says they don’t want advice (aside from people with first hand experience) and rather are just trying to vent, please listen to them and don’t give advice. Especially medical advice when I repeatedly mention I’m working with multiple specialists (vets and trainers). That’s what I pay them for, not strangers on the internet.
Thanks to the commiserations, kind words, and the tips from people who have been in a similarly complex situation.
