So I saw this on /v/ just now and have to ask.
What kind of crazy ass bird is this?

You just answered your own question
It looks like a juvenile golden eagle.

cool. thanks.
Are dogs wary of stuff such as thorny bushes? I have bushes under my big windows to try and deter burglars, but I'm worried my future dog might run into them and hurt himself
>I have bushes under my big windows to try and deter burglars
I feel sorry for you that you either live in a pre-modern hell world or are a crazy person.
>>2025522
Are you anti-gun as well? What's wrong with precautions?
An inexperienced dog might accidentally bump into them, but upon finding out it's painful, they'll learn to avoid it.
If you're concerned, why not just put a small fence/wire around the bushes to prevent this hypothetical dog from getting to them?

The Japanese saw something interesting in the ocean and didn't immediately kill & eat it? I'm calling bullshit.

Okay /an/, what are some of the most brutal ways your pets died? Mine was around 6 years ago i had a pug and overnight she died and when i woke up i saw a lifeless dog in a pile of vomit and blood.

Op posting again.
Another one of my deaths were buying a pleco and putting it in my mum's saltwater tank and watching it slowly melt to death.
(pic unrelated again)
/b/ go home.
One pet death thread is enough.
Can anyone give me advice on possibly getting more affordable pet meds?
I own a Pomeranian who has chronic seizure issues. His issues are managed by Phenobarbital pills.. which we pay $100~ for 300 count 16.2mg tablets every few months.
Are there better alternatives?
Marijuana, specifically THC in forms of oil, tea , smoke, or powder. There has been a study in which THC relieved the seizures in a young child.

No, you shop around or put up with the cost.
Hi /an/, need help
today my 6 year old staffordshire passed out at the beach while walking her. I didn't see her pass out as she was a fair way behind me with a stick.
I thought she was just lying down and called her, she kept laying down. Ran up to her and her tongue was hanging out, no pulse, not breathing.
Cleared her throat (bits of bark and stick in there) and picked her up then started running to the surf club, thinking she was dead while screaming for help.
halfway back she opens an eye slowly, then the other, looks at me blankly for a minute...

Take her to a vet?
She probably was asphyxiating on wood? As cool of a meme it is to find random pieces of wood lying around and get a natures toy for your dog. You have to accept that they can break and carry fungi or other harmful things.
Get them to a vet as soon as you can and have them checked out, it could be a heart problem. Also, dogs can have cpr performed on them for much longer than humans, something like half an hour.
Shit, is /an/ the right place for Kombucha help? I need someone to give me insight on my SCOBY. It's been fermenting for two weeks (I'm in Michigan and it's been cold) and I just want to know if this big fucker is still healthy. The big white dot on it is wet to the touch and doesn't look like mold (possibly the baby SCOBY starting to grow?)
This is my first fermentation, I got the SCOBY mama from my boss. I poured out a bit to taste it last night and it had a funk to it. Like a cheesy smell but it tasted fine (albeit flat since it fermented for so long)....

Here's the same shot with flash. Again I don't think it's bad it just doesn't look pancake-y as most photos of SCOBY online show up. Like a solid piece that can be picked up. Side view shot explains this better. Will upload in a minute
Here's a side view of it. Just a few strands of yeast hanging down.
My mistake in this whole process was thinking the baby would grow to a full radius on the first batch, turns out it needs a few rounds of fermentation to fully grow. So I let it sit for a long time and now it tastes really tangy
Ew.
I don't know what the hell that is but since you mentioned tasting it, you're probably better off asking /ck/. Most people here don't eat their projects.
Hi everyone,
I have a 3 year old White German Shepherd/Golden Retriever mix. He is a super friendly goof ball of a dog. He isn't neutered, I plan to do it but I've been busy with grad school and haven't gotten to it.
Anyways I'm watching my friends dog, a male short haired pointer. And well my dog keeps trying to hump this dog, relentlessly. I keep telling him no, and pushing away but he doesn't stop. My dog keeps whining but the other dog just stands there and doesn't play, or he gets annoyed and barks and snaps. My dog will back off...

Mutt. Just say mutt.
You can't do much about your dog's behavior because it was poorly bred. In the future don't get your dogs from the shelter or the first BYB that pops up on craigslist when searching for "GSD".
>>2025476
Reminder to everyone else this is bait.
>>2025476
This shit never ends with you, does it?
Maybe you're the only thing here thats poorly bred.
Primate thread ?

>>2024049
What's the reality side of working as vet assistance? I heard a lot of shattered promises stories from friends.
>>2024836
tfw your first person coming in wanting to euthanize their pet because its color doesn't match the new home decor.
that was a good hentai
Do you guys celebrate your pet's birthday or give them presents for christmas?
>>2023107
I go my puppy in October, I don't think I have any presents this year, family and friends are buying my puppy stuff lol. I always remember the other dogs birthdays too, nothing as loserish as baking them a chum cake, just remember it. Christmas is special tho, I put gravy on everything and Ofcourse they get elite tier scraps.
>>2023108
Was me, didn't post pic of new puppy in festive get up.
I try not to smack the shit out of them for pissing on the tree. That's their present.
Anyone know what bug this is? Just found him in my room, I wanna let him stay but just wanna make sure he's bro worthy first
He's really flat and I live in Boston MA
About the size of a nickel
stinkbug, completely 100% harmless if you dont smash him
>>2022585
Wow didn't even know we had those here. Thanks friend
I currently feed my cat pic related, mainly because it's what the previous owner apparently fed it and I just continued on. She likes it, but I'm wondering if maybe I could be doing better (either cheaper or more healthy or even both).
My cat is about 3 years old and is purely an indoor cat.
Science diet is crap. I don't know that much about feline nutrition, but I know the first few ingredients shouldn't be "meat biproducts", or grain.
>>2022479
I use Blue Buffalo for my cats. It's probably the cheapest nice cat food -- no by-products and you can buy it completely grain free too if you like.
The best switch you could do is from a dry to a canned food. Wellness, Weruva, Instinct, and Wild Calling are all great options. Your kitty will thank you by living a longer, healthier life. Check out catinfo.org for more info.
