So, my cat caught a pregnant wood mouse and broke her leg. I saved it and put it in a old hamster
cage. She survived and gave birth 4 days ago, I haven't majorly disturbed the cage and can hear squeaking coming from inside the nest house. I'm going to have to open the cage to replace the water and take out old food tomorrow because it is getting low.

For tame domestic mice I wouldnt worry about disturbing the nest so soon but the mom is still wild and scared so I dont know if
doing this will lead to baby cannibalization due to stress. Any help?

Also she is still injured so releasing them into the wild would be a death sentance
>>
>>2400299
flush them down the toilet

>>2400299
So long as you don't disturb the actual nest, it should be fine.
Would also recommend either keeping your cat inside or feeding it antifreeze.

Are cat owners merely thralls to their cats, enslaved by brain parasites?

no.
toxoplasma produces no symptoms in most people.
people with a normal immune system clear the parasite out of their body in a matter of weeks.
and once you've had it you won't get it again.

This big arse beaute was on my chair, scared the shit out of me midgame (and being medic in team fortress 2 i just let him crawl on me until the match was over, i didn't think it was a spider). I let him outside with a paper plate, but I am curious to know what it was. I don't lurk /an/ so if I should move this thread to something comparable to a /sqt/ or /qtddtot/ type deal I will do it.

Pothos plants are wonderful! Just take a cutting from anyone's, and put it in some water. They have little brown root nodes, and will easily sprout roots without any special fertilizer, and constantly grow new leaves. They are amazing!

I feel like a horrible piece of shit when I have to leave my doggo by himself at home when I work but I have next to no choice sometimes. I can tell he's lonely and he howls for me when I leave. I'm going to get a second dog at some point when I have a little more time but is there anything /an/ recommend I do int he mean time to keep him entertained and engaged so he doesn't just mope around and sleep all day? I don't want him to be miserable, it breaks my heart.

I've been screening for a good dog walker or otherwise who can come over during the day and play with him but so far no luck in my area.

pic related, its Oliver, 6 months old

is he moping around and sleeping or is he howling all day?

if it's the former that's the best you can hope for. if he's howling you need to train him to be calm and sleep while you're away
>>
>>2399801
the former. thats good?
I guess that makes sense if theres no other options. I think im also wondering if theres any thing in the way of puzzles or toys i can get him that would at least give him something to do that are /an/ approved
>>
>>2399798
If you can't find anyone then maybe consider a doggy daycare? It'll be expensive but at least he'd be happy.

Just adopted a 12 year old beagle. He's an incredible sweetheart who just wants to sleep on the rug, and once and awhile run around like a much younger dog in my yard.

I went to the vet and his bloodwork is completely clean, but he's still super skinny. Any tips to get some weight on him?
8 posts and 4 images submitted.
>>
>>2399633
Just feed him normally. The weight will come in time.
Beagles tend to go overweight easily, so I really wouldn't do anything special to fatten him up. Also, why didn't you ask the vet?
>>
>>2399637

I did, but by that point she was in a bit of a rush to get to the next patient so we didn't have much time to talk. Plus this board tends to be pretty good about feeding tips.
>>
Feed him decent nutrition, and watch his stools. Too much food can make turds really loose. So you want high calorie to weight.
I'd try a small bag of high end, high fat and protien kibble. (pro plan, fromms, check on Chewy's)
A beagle can live 18-20 yrs. There is a good seat saved for you in the afterlife, O.P.

>picks up pigeon and walks to the zoo
>zoo doesn't take wild animals and tells me to leave it to die somewhere
>areyoufuckingkiddingme.jpeg
>takes it home

I Kind of need help though, i know pigeons eat wheat, beans and berries, and i need to feed it milk and water
it has a broken wing and a broken leg and i'm not sure how to cure an injury like that. I have a jealous cat and i'm not home most of the time and I'm afraid to leave the pigeon alone with my cat, plus i know pigeons are very social
the baby pigeon doesn't seem to have a disease or fleas or anything like that for the most part it's been sleeping a lot
I just want some help on how to bathe it or take care of it in general

extra points for helping me find t if its a grill or boii

Any wildlife centers near you? The broken wing/leg makes for a poor prognosis.
>>
>>2399604
sadly no
>>
>>2399604
Wildlife center will just kill the pigeon.

What you should do is report the incident to local police since cruelty to animals is a misdemeanor.

You're going to need to find an exotic avian vet. They're usually licensed by the state. They're going to have to set the wing/leg for you. You need to tell them it's your pet rather than a wild bird or they won't take it.

If not, kill the pigeon. It will not survive your cat. Do it quick, not slow like the retard zoo suggested. A brick to the cranium is fine.

not sure what to do about my dog

>her left eye gets swollen
>i take her to doctor
>he recommends eye removal
>other eye starts to swell
>Says i should check with eye doc first
>shell out anohter 300 at the eye doc
>they agreee left eye to be removed but right eye will be fine with medication
>thats all they say
>go back to first vet for eye removal, costs me 500 more dollars
>take her home and give her good eye the medications
>a month and a half later shes still waking me up in the middle of the night trying to scratch her eye against the pillow
>the auto immune disease causes her whole body to be insanely itchy so she just starts barking at random moments cuz she needs someone to rub her
>if you take off her cone all she does is chew on herself
>she'll even stop when we go on walks (her favorite thing) and just start biting at her self
>cant leave the cone off for more than a few hours otherwise she'll chew until we hear crunches and her fur falls off
>call back eye doc to see whats wrong, her eye medicatiosn wotn work
>they didnt even bother telling me about the auto immune disease the other doctor had to inform me based on their report
>they say 'we can adjust her medication but you gotta come in and pay 200 dollars for a consultation

im running out of fucking money and she spends all fucking day irritated and she cant scratch herself with the cone on but even with it off thats not healthy and even with it on shes still managing to scratch her eye and its just a matter of time before she scratches a hole in that one.

i really just dont know what to fucking do at this point shes only 5 years old.

>>
>>2399542

thank you anon. i just dont know what to do. im sitting here like 'if i pinch pennies will this be solved in 1000 dollars? 2000 dollars? how much am i supposed to put down to seem like i tried before she inevitably just dies and its no fair that she can't sleep through the night and then i feel like aj erk for wanting to find a way out of this and its all just circling in my head.
>>
>>2399555
I understand, I think the best thing you can do right now is give your dog lots of scratches and try to make her as comfortable as possible.
Is there any anti itch meds the vet could give you maybe?

ITT we post animals that are on 'death row'. In other words, animals whose days are numbered and will be euthanized in the coming days. If you have an animal in a shelter, post pics of the animal along with the shelter name or a link please. Other shelter animals that are not in danger of euthanasia are also welcome.

If you don't like the thread, remember there's a 'hide' option.

All these guys are coming from this shelter

All of these guys are likely already dead or in the process of dying, whoopsies. Generally the list is posted at 6pm EST the night before euthanasia. The dogs are then destroyed anytime between 12:30 and 6pm EST the next day.

This is the list for 6/5/2017 for dogs. The only one that can't be adopted by public and has to go to rescue is the yorkie for severe aggression. He was unable to be handled and the assessment was omitted because of it.

Surprisingly much fewer cats

There's only two cats publicly adoptable, the orange tabby and the black and white cat on the top right. The rest are rescue only ranging from medical issues to moderate behavioral issues (over-stimulation from petting)

Post pictures of your dogs in the car and give me advice. I'm taking my dog on a long trip this summer and I want her to be safe in case of an accident. I'm considering the sleepypod clickit sport harness, the ruffwear load up harness, kurgo harness (cheapest) or possibly a car crate. Any suggestions?

If you want dog safe, put him in his crate and secure the crate with seat belts or to anchor points.
>>
>>2399289
A car crate will be safest if you plan on getting in an accident, but will make her miserable because of the long hours confined to an even smaller space, and five times as miserable if she wasn't crate trained before.

If she's good in the car, just get a hammock-like seat protector and keep her comfy in the back seat. If she's annoying as hell, get her the harness. Drive safely.
