If he hasn't eaten in three weeks he's most probably a goner.

Is there perhaps someone who can help me with this... My dog is very sick and I don't know where else to turn but 4chan.

My dog (Bruce) is fifteen years old, very happy, always playful.
This morning he was chasing a ball and he barked, played, ran...

Since this evening at 19:00 when my mother got home from the doctor, she noticed alot of puke on the floor, pee on the doormat and more.. (I don't know the details as I was at work) He is currently laying on his cushion, squeeking everytime he breathes in.
I just checked on him 10 minutes ago and he was laying INFRONT of his cushion, awake and staring at the wall, not responding (He's a bit deaf)

He won't eat, he won't drink.. He won't even sleep.
I checked under his lip and his flesh is very white.

I'm worried /an/... Worried that I lose my best friend. Please help me!

Then we can free all our cats, chickens, dogs, birds, fish, reptiles, hamsters, cows, etc. They're all just caged animals, after all.

Also, whales are adept at living in tanks. All animals without advanced thought are. The same as a clownfish in a 20 gallon aquarium. They don't have a lot of 'deep thought' going on about their plight. Their deepest thought is "oh, its getting light, that means I eat soon"

Fucking hippies, man.

It can be a fun time for both of you but you should always follow up with a toy that they can actually catch and "kill;" otherwise, they can become frustrated which can lead to behavioral issues, especially in kittens

Which great ape would be the least likely to randomly rip your face off if you were keeping it as a pet?

I feel like Orangutans are the most peaceful of them.

Bonobo

>>2053028
Bonobos are violent fuckers too.

Op, the answer is probably the gorilla. Orangutans are cooler too, but i've heard more stories of them being assholes than gorillas.
>>
>>2053017
None of them. If a primate wants to rip your face off, then it's going to do it and that will be the end of it. Orangutans only seem peaceful because most of the interaction shown with them involves individuals that were raised by people, or at the very least were exposed to them long enough to become adjusted to human presence. A wild Orang would outright fuck a person up if the mood struck them. Males especially considering how they get fuckhuge and are territorial.

Actually do your research instead of expecting us to tell you everything, dipshit.
There's better dogs for guarding. Especially when you probably just planned to buy some shit BYB "exotic xxx muscle guard pitbull terrier"

Don't mutilate their ears. It's not necessary at all.
>>
>>2050785
Don't mutilate any dogs. Don't buy from anyone who crops or docks.
I think docking can be done when necessary, but not without anesthesia on a week old puppy with a pair of scissors. It should be done as an adult with anesthesia.

Did you take your pets with you when you moved out of your parents house? What were they? If you didn't take them, why not?

I'm moving out soon and my parents want my dog to stay with them. I pay for literally everything and he's registered under my name so they agree that he's mine. But they think he'll have a better life with them since someone will be home all the time. I interact with him more than they do though and they like to spoil him so I feel like he's going to end up overweight and regress on his training. Not that they're bad owners by any means, just that they don't really know how to raise a dog and they tend to anthromorphise him. I'm considering like joint custody desu
>>
I'm moving out soon and I'm trying to decide. my parents wanted him originally as a puppy, but he slowly became mine as they didn't want to deal with a puppy. but now that he's older they'll be fine. I am really really attached to him, but they live on 6 acres of woods and I would be moving into a small apartment with roommates, and a pit/husky would undoubtably do better in the county. plus I worry I wouldn't even be able to find a place that would let me take him due to being a pit. plus one of them is almost always home

Discuss anything aquarium related here, including inhabitants, decor and issues.

Google is your friend.
Feel free to ask questions but know that there are a lot of resources out there that could answer your question a lot faster and accurately than /an/.

Make sure to include these things in your post before asking because we can't help you if we don't have the full picture:
-tank size
-parameters
-any and all inhabitants + how long you've had them

/an/, I bought a saltwater tank already set up and running with no live stock besides 2 hermit crabs. Idk how in the hell they survived the trip as I moved the tank and water when it was snowing.

Anyway, I can't seem to get the amount of water in either the sump or the main tank correct for the pump to not flip the fuck out like pic related

Pic of the sump setup, it's 3 chambers which I guess most are. First has a filter bag that needs to be changed with skimmer, second has nothing right now, and third has the return pump.

If i fill the third chamber up anywhere near the water line it'll be good for like a day or two and then spazz the fuck out and only have half the water where it should be. I added 2 gallons two days ago to the sump and it worked fine, I come home from work and it's doing this again.

The pump is only rated for 300gpm(minutes or hours idk) and the overflow tank is rated for something stupid like 800. I'm not losing water anywhere and there's no way 2 gallons evaporated in as many days
