Q: Vaginal tears cause mild pain in your groin area. You may feel pain when you sit down, walk, or wear constricting clothing. Minor tears may also result in light bleeding. They may also itch or be uncomfortable. How bad the tear is determines how you treat it. If you are unsure how bad it is, take a mirror and look at the tear. If the tear is somewhere you cannot see, you may want to go to the doctor. Simple tears will heal on their own without any treatment. Simple tears are small and look like paper cuts or abrasions. Simple tears may bleed at first, and they may sting, be uncomfortable, and itch. Simple tears are caused by something you know you did, like having sex or putting in a tampon. Breathable cotton underwear is the best for when you have vaginal tears. A slightly loose but comfortable pair will ease discomfort while your tears heal. When you have a vaginal tear, you should not engage in any sexual activity, alone or with your partner. Any kind of sexual activity that leads to contact with the tear can cause it to reopen. Contact from any body part can also introduce bacteria to the tear. After your vaginal tear is healed, be very gentle the first few times you have sex to make sure you don't tear the sensitive flesh again. If the pain worsens, you should have your tear checked out by a doctor. Furthermore, if you notice bleeding, a foul smelling odor or discharge, a fever, or dizziness, get immediate medical care.
A: Notice any pain. Determine how deep the tear is. Leave simple tears alone. Wear clean, comfortable underwear. Avoid sex. See your doctor if the tear worsens.

Q: If your dog's eyes aren't making enough natural tear fluid, the eyes can become too dry. You might seen a thick, sticky discharge constantly coming from the eyes. Your Boston terrier's eyes can also appear dull, irritated and red. Dry eyes are more common in middle-aged to older dogs. Boston terriers are prone to developing dry eyes. Since your dog's eyes are irritated, he can't blink away debris and lubricate the eyes. You'll probably see him blink frequently as he tries to relieve irritation. He might also squint or try to keep his eyes shut. Dry eyes can also be a result of trauma like scratches or infections. If you suspect your dog has dry eyes, you'll need to take him to the vet to rule out infection. The vet will examine your dog's eyes and test for tear production. During this test, the vet will place a special paper into the corner of your dog's eye to see how much tear film your dog makes in one minute. This information is used to make a diagnosis. The vet will also check your dog's eye pressure to rule out glaucoma and will look for corneal ulcers which could be causing the inflammation. The vet will recommend an over-the-counter eye treatment or prescription medication. You'll need to apply watery artificial tears every hour. If you're using thicker drops, you'll need to use them 4 to 6 times a day. Newer products that contain hyaluronic acid only need two applications a day. Realize that dry eyes will need to be managed for life since there is no absolute treatment. If the vet prescribes a medication to encourage tear production, you'll most likely need to use it twice a day, dropping to once a day after the eyes improve.
A: Look for signs of dry eyes. Watch your dog's behavior. Take your dog to the vet. Lubricate your dog's eyes.

Q: Use a knife to slit its throat, or break its neck swiftly. There is no need to allow the animal to suffer. Respect its value to you. Place the rabbit on a cutting board or another flat surface with enough space for you to work with. On the rabbit's back pinch its hide and cut it with a sharp knife near the base of the neck. If you're out on the field, you may use a sharp stick or stone to cut the rabbit open. Use a sharp knife or cleaver just above its knees to cut off the rabbit's feet. Cut off the head and tail. Use your hand to loosen the skin. When you've made the cut, turn the knife edge facing up and cut from the stomach to the neck. Be sure not to pierce the stomach because this can allow its contents to contaminate the meat. Use your index finger and middle finger on both hands to create an opening after you have made your cut. Steady and with a firm grasp, use your fingers to hook up under the skin and pull one of your hands towards the rear and the other hand towards its head. The skin will tear into two pieces. Be sure to keep grabbing more hide to improve your grip and pull to separate. Grab the rabbit carcass by its back legs and gather a handful of skin around one of its ankles. Break the skin by twisting and pulling. The fresher the rabbit, the easier it will be to remove its skin. Tear the fur off the rabbit's legs with a sharp tug. There will be fur around the feet like shoes. Pull its hide off of its rear. The tail may come off or stay on. Pop the legs through the skin by turning the skin so you can push the rabbits stumps out of them. Cut the head and tail off if they haven't come off already. You must open the sides of the sternum to take the rabbit's windpipe from below its neck and remove it. Cut the feet off at the rabbit's ankles. Use your hands to snap the feet off the ankles and then a knife to cut through the tendons and muscles. Cut the feet off one by one. Pop the rabbit by its shoulders so that it releases from its coat as you hold down the fur and skin from the carcass. You may use the fur later to make socks or other warm accessories.
A: Kill the rabbit humanely. Place the rabbit on a solid surface and slice its skin. Take the fur off. Take the legs out. Pull the fur from up around the neck up to the base of its skull. Cut off the feet. Remove the coat completely.

Q: Lacking an understanding of your personal values is like going on a trip without a GPS or a map of any kind. Values help us navigate through different circumstances, so that we lead a life that is personally fulfilling. To figure out some of your personal values, answer the following: Which individuals have your greatest respect? What traits do they hold that you admire and why? If your home were on fire (any people and animals are already considered safe), what 3 objects would you save and why? What moments in your life were incredibly satisfying? What about the moment made you feel satisfied? After you have narrowed down a short list of important values, you must develop S.M.A.R.T goals that support these values. Once you have developed goals that allow you to live out your values, do one thing that lets you move toward these goals daily. S.M.A.R.T. goals are: Specific - clearly answer the "who, what, when, where, which, and why" Measurable - outline how you will assess your progress towards the goal Attainable - able to be achieved with the resources, skills, and abilities you have Realistic - the goal provides a challenge but also represents an objective that you are both willing and able to meet Timely - the determined time-frame must be feasible, while including some urgency The most common mental barriers to getting things done are often what we are telling ourselves on a daily basis. If asked why you haven't reached a particular goal, your response is because all the variables are not perfectly in place. These are excuses and you must remove them from the equation in order to achieve your goals. Remove excuses by getting serious with yourself. Whatever you are using as an excuse is probably just a way to protect yourself from having to change. Setting SMART goals should help you to alleviate some of your excuses. For others, such as not having time, money, or resources, closely examine your life to determine what you can afford to cut out. Remove an insignificant activity or cost to prioritize a significant one. Don't wait until all the variables fall magically into place. Purposefully change your life so that it supports you reaching your goals.
A:
Identify your values and beliefs. Set goals that align with your personal values. Eliminate excuses.
