Given they’re keeping a turtle in the same tank as cichlids with that filter and those lights I imagine they have no idea what material it is

Jfc, I didn't notice the filter and assumed they had a sump or canister. He must be doing roughly twice weekly big water changes to keep it livable, that fucking sucks. Can't imagine doing that much maintenance for a single tank.

I just found out my dog, 7 years old, has a ruptured ACL in his right hind leg. Surgery was quoted around $4k. I have him on pain meds now and some anti-inflammatory chews as well. I do not want him to suffer or even have his other knee to blow out. Does anyone have any good advice or gone through this before?

I was looking at knee braces for dogs to help brace the joints, hoping to ease the pain to let it heal. But from what I am reading, surgery is the real only option to have him get his full range of motion back again. He's too good of a boy to have this ruin the rest of his years.

Happened to my male boxer on both hind legs first one around 3-4 yrs second about 18 months later. Financially raped me but hands down the best money I’ve spent imo. Had a female boxer loose the use of her hind legs for the last cpl years of her life and spending the money on his surgery’s was the easiest decision I’ve ever made desu

>>4833386
You read right. A torn ACL is commonly known as one of those things you have to get a surgery for (atleast for humans)

he's a dane lab mix, he's about 96 lbs

>>4833448
Ya, I am feeling more towards that way as well, do not really care the cost desu as long as he's happy
>>
Look into a pet brace. It's what we did for our corgi when he was 10 years old and blew out his ACL.

Everything would have been fine. He didn't need to do this. I dare say it didn't even improve his own life at the time.

Can animals understand your mood? a few days ago I was depressed and a stray cat purred me, and while I was sitting on a bench a dog put his head on my lap (I patted him)
>>
>>4832942
Yes they can.
>>
>>4832942
Dogs can 100% understand your distress, really good at reading your face and mannerism.
Cats, to an extent. Cats do rub on each other when one of their buddies is sick or dying, not a stretch to say that this applies to humans if they act slow and low energy.

I can attest to this since I live in Dayton and go there pretty often, it was removed a few years back atp.

I dunno, probably because people defaced it or it gave passerby a bad impression of the zoo or parents complained or they just decided to for shits and giggles.

pin that bitch to the ground (your lap in this case), but not hard obviously and be careful, but just enough to assert dominance.

>He even has toys in his cage for further stimulation. He is just retarded.
if he is healthy then it further proof its behavior complex. maby he is over simulated? mine had the complex. i took all the toys out, then added one by one. by deduction i found mirrors/ropes/soft/colorful toys gave him trigger the complex. so i changed toys (dull color/hard toys/no rope/no mirror) until he gradually stopped.
> fights with birds far greater in size
some birds behave like that, it don't mean they are stupid. just wired differently overly territorial. big parrots bite humans who are much bigger too. i had a cockatiel who was afraid of my budgie.
>>
>>4832504
I will take a look and see if removing some of the toys will change his behavior. If it is a complex it is the only thing I can think of as his sleep is regular as far as I am aware
>>
>>4832514
trial and error find what makes him tick, mine did it so much his ass bled. any repetitive behaviour may turn to a complex ( feather plucking/excessive preening/regurgitation/nesting/humping)

What's the point of keeping a small tarantula? Might as well keep a different spider

this better for the dog. skip the steak, organ meats are definitely better.

Hey, /an/. You guys heard of Wally the "emotional support" alligator? On May this year, Wally was stolen from his owner Joie Henney by some lowlife piece of skunk shit "prankster" who dumped Wally into someone's backyard to scare them. Animal control was called and they dumped Wally into a nearby swamp. As an alligator that was raised almost his entire life in captivity, poor Wally won't know how to do "proper alligator" things and he sadly may die. I'm not sure if Wally really is dead (hopefully not), but I hope that Wally (if he is still alive) is found and returned to Joie or even better, brought to a proper animal sanctuary where they'll take care of him. As for the motherfucker that stole Wally, I know that Wally has never bit anyone before, not even little kids, I wish that Wally get's to bite that cunt's ballsack once he is found by the authorities. Justice for Wally the alligator!

FUCK dog racists.
>>
>>4832745
It's not "racism", because animals dont have races, they have breeds. They were forcibly mated brother to sister, father to daughter, to produce a population with consistent behavioral and physical characteristics

For instance all pitbulls are untrustworthy vermin that sometimes kill and eat their owners and their owners families
All labs like picking stuff up and bringing it back to their friends
All mini austalian shepherds are homosexuals and gravitate towards pride parades

Even among cats
All the orange ones are dumb
All the calico ones are irrational aggressive bitches
All the black ones make too much noise and piss in your plants
>>
>>4832746
wtf its all true?
>>
>>4832745
When I travel to other cities I bring laced treats and give them to any bully breed I see in public. I doubt it’s enough to kill them, just enough to get them to shit and puke all over their pitmommy’s hovel.
