I have, but since this is a SFW board I can't elaborate.

I have read about rabies here on /an/, since then it's my meme fear. I have quite strong hypochondric tendencies and that's how it manifests since then. I always look out for bats, when they are above me sometimes I can feel drops on my face (psychosomatic for sure), as if they drooled on me. It's not that bad, it really subsided these days.

But still, bats flying near me and other cases of potentially encountering the virus is probably my most frequent dream right now.

i often herp in my dreams

Maybe googling the problem can help. Im not an expert in cats so there isnt really anything else i can say.

If you cat is pulling its hair out or scratching causing it to thin, it could be some kind of ear mite or even just stress/anxiety. I have also heard of certain organ problems leading to hair loss.

Please don't do this, it's a recipe for disaster.

OP, if your vet says nothing is wrong- then you are likely being paranoid. However, as a vet student, I can tell you now we would 600% rather have an overly paranoid owner come in for us to tell that there is nothing wrong than you not come at all/come in too late.

On a side note, if it is a skin issue, it could be nearly anything- they really aren't anything we can diagnose over the internet without seeing your cat.

Never seen a dog roll down a hill so fast and then act like nothing happened.

>Later that day she got a hold of a sandwich wrapped in saran wrap
>Grandpa loses his shit but more worried about the dog getting sick
>Around 2 am I woke up hearing her gag
>Pukes out the saran wrap but no sandwich

Springers are annoying af but great hunting dogs.

No YOU can't, but a vet can. Idiot

Cats have no period blood, so they get really nasty diseases from living through kittenless heats over and over again.

>operation of any kind
veterinarian, the cost of the things you need exceeds the vet fee
>the healthiest solution
drown the newborn kittens besides one, neuter the cat in 2 months, give away the kitten to the shelter

>>2375203
This. If you don't want to spend money, give her to a shelter. They will do a gravid spay, or kill her, for you.

does it taste good?
>implying I'm not allergic to shellfish

>>2374713

Apparently they taste like shit, like most bottom feeders.

>>2374727
Flounder is pretty decent

>>2374047
I've seen pretty much all the African savanna animals that exist. They're cool. My favourite are cheetahs.

>>2374047

Unless I'm forgetting something probably a porcupine.

Some kind of lizard I found last year. It tried biting me but it had no teeth so it didn't hurt. I brought it home and put it in a tank to keep as a pet, but 2 days went by and it didn't eat or drink anything so I went back where I found it and let it go.

It's a fucking cardboard cut-out you autistic piece of shit.

And stop capitalizing "Penguin" it's not a proper noun.

>>2373846

Humboldt

Old man Humboldt named fucking everything feels like.

>>2373849
No, Hululu is a cutout, Grape-kun is a Penguin.

Horses have been kind of aimed at little girls for a while. My little pony, Barbie stables, let's ride, the saddle club, etc.

>>2372790
And the feeling while on a saddle...

>>2372790
why wouldn't you want to ride a horse?

Someday, I hope to have a pleco tank.

It would be long and relatively shallow with lots of branches and plants.

>>2371507
Plecos are fucking cool. It's like a window into prehistoric times.

What's the minimum space that they need?

>>2371567
the smallest plecos (only get 3-4 inches) need about 10 gallons to themselves to thrive
