Penguin social distancing arranges them in a sort of honeycomb pattern. Low ranking birds nest in the middle of hexagons and take fire from every direction.

No, their bodies were covered in feathers and they mostly hunkered down by rivers and hunted fish, like a heron or stork.

Any dog or vet bros able to give guidance?

I’ve got a 2 year old Corgi, he’s had regular occurrences of liquid shit and vomiting the last couple months. I’ve taken him to the vets each time but we’re not really getting any progress on a diagnosis.

Today he’s shitting like piss and throwing up straight after. But he seems to be ok in himself, he wants to walk, he has an appetite.

The vet gave probiotic powder before and I swapped his food to hypo allergenic shit. I’ve monitored what he was eating, cutting everything out and slowly introducing little bits. He was okay for a few weeks but we’re back again and the vets are slow as shit.

Anyone been through something similar with their dog?

Bro i am physician. In young humans with chronic diahrrea you first think in parasites. You can give him Albendazole + Praziquantel If he keeps shitting like that is necesary a colonoscopy. Sorry for my english im from brazil

I fucking hate all veterinarians
>>
>>5082223

it was fistulas. got prescribed cyclosporine and a list of hydrolized or novel protein foods to choose from.

the internist was awesome. knew his shit, knew how to interact with my distrustful dog. didnt order any unnecessary tests. we were sent to him for a colonoscopy and he told me, yeah I could sedate your dog and run a bunch of tests for the next couple of hours but thats not gonna do anything for those fistulas and the preferred treatment isnt cheap so save your money for the medication.

what killed me was when I originally brought my dog into VCA to get checked, the vet slid his finger into my dogs ass and my dog just kida went "hmmph" and the VCA guy didnt feel anythig abnormal.

today at the specialist, my dog fucking screamed and hollared. it broke my heart. the guy said he could feel it was all inflamed.

my dog would probably be 100% back to normal today if he had been properly diagnosed at VCA. now its progressed and I have to worry about strictures.

Switch to a proper diet (actual food instead of kellog's larp nuggets)
In the meantime take him to a tucking vet
>>
>>5081765
Pancreatitis/aquired food senistisation(or allergy)
Switch out to a single protein elimination protocol with "raw" food (you can actually cook it if you really want to, but cooked proteins can trigger the "response" in a meat where the raw doesn't)

Are turtles basically invulnerable? You have to admit, surviving all the way from the Triassic to now is very impressive knowing how slow and comparatively docile they are to other organisms. It befuddles me how they are able to survive the dinosaurs let alone, the K-T extinction event.

In the way that a dog likes its owner. What would you do? Would you spend time with animals that would normally be dangerous for humans to be around (like wolves or grizzly bears or rattlesnakes) or would you be around animals that normally flee from humans (like deer or rabbits) or some other category of animal altogether?

birds who are considered dumber propably can solve easier puzzles to get food and just fail at the harder ones
>>
>>5083787
This is the same logic catfags use to justify their low intelligence too. Neuron count proves that corvids are particularly intelligent.
>>
>>5083990
All humans have many orders of magnitude more neurons than corvids but many humans are dumber than corvids. For example crossing a street without looking and then getting hit, people do this all the time.

even the dumbest person you know is still smarter than any animal, as long as they aren't clinically retarded

Even they are likely more intelligent in a feral sense.
