Why is my girl lactating? I took her to the vet yesterday to update her shots no sign or pregnancy or nothing of the sort. Shes just been bloated and lactating.
Bump with comfy doggo
I'm a girl btw
Hormone imbalance.... Take her to another vet, as this could put a lot of stress on her....also, get her spayed

PURE, OVERWHELMING EVIL!
This is my first time on this board so i'm sorry if this is in the wrong place but can anyone help me identify this fish (its qwerty from mr robot, if that helps)
I want to buy my first fish and thought this one was cool.
Couldnt find anything on google.
I'll post some better pics, that ones a bit blurry.
Not that this ones any better
Its a beta
Are you actually retarded?
Found a good one
These keep attacking me when I'm out and about.
Anyone else in their breeding range under attack this year?
Get outta here heron!
atleast you have nice birds over there.
>>2152006
New Zealand has it made though in the friendly bird department.
By telephone? I doubt its got cell phone coverage where its located. Why?
It's a goat's beard (aruncus dioicus)

Youre ridiculous
My cat sheds all the time. If you pick him up, you've covered in cat hair instantly.
I want to brush him to help stop the excessive shedding. I have a "slicker" brush, but it seems like using it might hurt him, since the bristles are just like tiny needles.
What brush/type of brush is best for removing his excess hair?
zoom groom by KONG is great. i use it on my short haired dog and the hair just flies off
Furminator brushes are amazing but a bit pricey
Zoom groom for top coat
Undercoat rake or metal greyhound comb for undercoat.
I have a dog but I assume it's similar
Has anyone had luck trying to grow this?
How do I do it?
>>2151955
it is dried
so it is dead
sorry
How long before I can start picking the frogs off of it?
it's just sphagnum that got the price flipped 1000%
I think my dog has a tracheal collapse. He (pic related) is a 13yo Pomeranian X unknown (pound pup). He has had for a while but as he has gotten older I think it's gotten a little bit worse. It usually only occurs when he gets excited or when he gets up from lying down for a while, akin to an old man's cough. But in recent weeks sometimes he'll be trotting around and have to take a moment to cough like there's something caught in his throat.
Is there anything specific I can do to help him? I would rather not put him through surgery as he is older but...

Though a vet should be able to tell you what's wrong with him, chances are they'll just tell you they need to open him up for ten minutes so they can charge you $7,000.
It's a pomeranian genetic trait. If he's overweight, that'll make it more severe. Good exercise also helps, but generally nothing will actually solve it.
13 is about the point where shit goes south for poms. Mine got hit by hip dysplasia, collapsing throat, and enlarged heart all at once. It was stupid expense keeping him alive, but we did it for a few years longer.

Stop playing Dr google, take your dog to a vets. A cough could be anything from an infection to heart failure.
Hi /an/. So.. recently I planted 5 White Skunk seeds. 2 of them died 3 days after and these 3 are still alive but bending over. I am worried that they will die soon. Is anything wrong with them or are they just turning to sun like all crops does? They are 8 days old. and I water them every 2 days.
it is also my first time growing

What he said.
Cannabis needs a LOT of light. Usually artificial light is used, with special bulbs that give off the correct wavelengths. Watch a few cannabis grow lamp videos on YouTube

Yeah, you can really tell it in the cheeks.
Too shame.
TL;DR: Who is digging these holes?
In the past 3 days a lot of small holes like this have been popping up near a large tree in my backyard. My dad and I have been assuming it's chipmunks but now my dad is worried that the tunnels (presumably) connecting the holes could be weakening the tree. There are a few other chipmunk tunnel systems near our house but he hasn't cared until they threatened the tree. He now says that he will stop "coddling" the chipmunks. This worries me as I don't know what he might do.
Do you guys know if possibly...

Here are some of the more worrying holes that are dug directly under/beside the roots. It would be bad news if this tree fell on my house.
Here is the only evidence that anyone has even been in these holes since I haven't seen a single soul entering or exiting. It's about half as long as a chipmunk so if it belongs to one they must be taking some serious shits.
Finally this would be the best fallguy for the chipmunks since he is constantly trying to get into my house and already have animosity towards him.
If I pull it off will he die?
I mean, maybe if you just grabbed it and yanked.
Not if you cut it or gently worked it off
>>2151744
It would be extremely painful
>>2151748
He's a big guy
Besides tearing these fuckers out by hand, what's the best way to remove these damn things? They're killing my trees.
FIRE
>>2151838
Won't that hurt the trees?

What the fuck is wrong with this cat?

Mutant cat. Let it die.

Besides it missing a leg?

Fuck off children posting on your phones.
Are short legged cats and dogs such as munchkins, dashunds, and corgis healthy? Or are they inherently unhealthy? If they are unhealthy is breeding them similarly abusive to Scottish folds and severely brachycephalic breeds? I know that their short legs make physical activity harder so that could cause obesity and depression, and that they sometimes have spinal problems, but is it bad enough to call the breeding of them abusive?
>>2151548
yes
i know corgis and doxxies are more prone to slipped discs and hip problems but many breeds of dogs are prone to hip problems
corgis in general are very healthy and their short legs are due to a naturally occurring mutation rather than something that breeders have bred for
same goes with munchkins and doxxies
>>2151551
forgot to mention that yes, corgis and doxxies are more prone to obesity but it's very preventative/treatable. corgis are generally very healthy breeds. i'm not too familiar with doxxies. i just know they're stupid and adorable.
