My iguana hurt his jaw or something a month ago and it's still swollen, his right arm is a bit swollen too, I know I should take him to a vet but I wondered if you guys had any ideas as to what it is

It's been a month. Take it to the fucking vet.

its probably all ready dead. Iguana's tend not to recover well from this sort of thing.
My cat is only nice to me when he's hungry
why doesn't it have food available at all times? let him exercise freely and he won't get fat it's a normal animal
>>2158703
Free feeding isn't healthy
Cuz it's a cat
give me all your sad cats
He's all better now, but he's still an idiot.

I'm a new, first time dog owner. I've had my dog for 9 months now. She just turned one years old. I got her when she was 3 months old.
She used to poop 2, 3 or sometimes even 4 times a day. I take her outside all the time, for play, for walking, so she can pee/poop. Lately though, she's gotten where she holds in her poop as long as she possibly can. She's been going once a day for about a week now.
She has to go badly, I can tell. I just stood outside with her for a little over an hour. Her butthole is literally opening like she's about...

>Google hasn't helped at all. All I can find is a bunch of people saying to stick matches up my dog's ass.
This actually does stimulate your dog to poop. People use it to train a dog to shit on command.
man, you sure love to look at and watch your dogs butthole, whats wrong with you
>>2158537
Because that's where the poop comes from and I'm trying to get her to poop.
Are you supposed to be joking? This is a serious issue, I don't want my dog to be sick.
>has cat for 7 months now
>cat is called Chloe
>Chloe doesn't want to be pet
>Chloe doesn't want to be held
>Chloe only wants food and being played with
this stupid bitch Chloe would slowly walk in front of me, as if wanting to be pet but when I reach out to pet her, she would BITE me. I'm getting pretty fucking tired of Chloe's bullshit and I contemplate ignoring her altogether. I'll...

How young was she taken away form her mother?
>>2158513
Guess she just doesn't like touching.
Deal with it.
you're bad at cats and don't know how to pet them even if they wanted you. make a thread because you're close to giving up on chloe? she gave up on your bitch ass 6 months ago. you're shit to her. put out the food and stay out of the way like a good little bitch. don't even look at me you dumb slut, you're useless.
Hey all. About a week ago my 2 month old kitten scratched me on my neck. The scratch was similar to the pic (like a ridge). I cleaned it with alcohol and water, and it was gone after a few days.
But 3 days ago my throat got swollen, its getting hard to swallow. Is it cat scratch fever? I don't think I have any other symptoms yet, but my throat has been getting more and more swollen, especially at night.
Also he scratches me on other places too, but only my throat is swollen. Should I be scared?
rip in peace, OP

Take some ibuprofen.
Who /sharkweek/ here? Just got started watching about the oceanic whitetip and it's making me scared to go diving again.

i'm too busy fapping to shark grills and macho shark men.
I'm watching David Attenborough documentaries instead
the one with the great white sleepy time was pretty cute

your fetish isn't polished enough for shark week anyway, anon
So I just watered my herbs and noticed these tiny insects floating in the water of my potted basil plant.
Anyone know what these are? Could they be immature aphids?

Looks like a huntsman spider to me
springtail?

That seems correct. Guess I've been overwatering my plant.

Hi guys! I already have a shih-tzu, but is not mine, is my mom's. So i want to get a dog for me, i taught of medium sized dogs, what are non-incestous breeds?
What i mean, is that some dogs like corgi, to become corgi, they have fucked sister, moms, grandma, to get the "100% pure race".
I was thinking about Akita, since it seems pure
>>2158216
Get a mongrel.

>to become corgi, they have fucked sister, moms, grandma, to get the "100% pure race".
That's just like my Chinese cartoons.
>>2158216
let me tell you about the pedigree of my akita. somewhere the uncle bred with the niece. that's how it is, especially with rare breeds.

Is the Russian domesticated fox a meme?
Depends on how you want to look at it. It's pretty much domesticated, but is it something to be a mainstream pet? Maybe not.
>>2158191
If it's domesticated, how come only a small number are made in a secret Russian lab?
>>2158197
I don't know, maybe no-one with ability to be a proper breeder or run a company has gotten interested. Quick Google gives a company called SibFox Inc.
>Unfortunately, the experiment is broke. Grant money is scarce in Russia, where economic crises hit in 1998 and again in 2008. Trut has resorted to selling some of the foxes into the exotic pet trade through SibFox Inc., a private company in Las Vegas. For $6,950, the U.S. distributor promises a tame four-month-old fox “delivered...

Hi /an/, I'm hoping you can help solve a cat mystery.
A couple of months ago, I brought a second cat, Charlie, into my home. He was found in a Walmart parking lot, and is a little over a year old. When I got him from the coworker who originally found him, he got all of his shots, and the vet said that he's in good health. At the beginning of this month, I took him to get neutered. No problems there, either.
My first cat, Ellie, is quite a bit older - about nine or ten. Not sure if that's relevant.
Here's the mystery: over the past few...

Bump for knowledge
bump because he is a little cutie
but it doesn't sound like stress or something. did you try to change the litterbox' position? put it in another room. maybe he will follow the box or he lays on the same spot without the box.
Final bump before I let the thread die. Surely someone else has dealt with this before?
I found a spiderweb on the front porch and got a good pic of the guy. Anyone know what kind of spider this might be?

Been finding these around lately. Southern California area. I assume it's a brown widow. Beautiful color.
How do you deal with shit like this?

As of now they're shining a flashlight into his eyes. A flashlight they used to track him down.

I hope by "we" you mean the rabid pavement apes of the species you belong.
Also, what the fuck are you doing in a ghetto? You're at least 50% human and don't belong there.
I've got two questions to ask, but I'll start with this; In my dirt driveway we always get this massive puddle that we wade through. It's normally a hot spot for frogs, but now I found a baby snapping turtle in it. I haven't seen these guys around, and there aren't any egg shells. Should I just leave this little guy be, or help them out?
You could, and when he gets bigger, he'll leave on his own good time. Just make sure you don't drive through that puddle.
>>2157635
*You could leave him
Feed him little feeder fish it's cool as fuck to watch
ok so i got this kind of vivarium (picture)
and i was making some research on what snake should i get
the tank is quite tall so i need some kind of snake that will love some climbing and wont be to big when grown up
i was thinking corn snake
but if you have any suggestions on which i should get please let me know (alos post picture if posible )
>>2157389
too small for an adult corn snake. you'd need to buy a bigger viv in a few months
>>2157397
yeah im afraid that would be the case, maybe if i get a male?
>>2157401
No. Males just grow slower.
