Back when I was but a babe.
I miss mom. But my human says that we'll visit her soon. We just gotta make plans!

Have you tried barking?

Why would you feed your dog some crazy no nae dog food.
My dog used to only eat kibbles and bits, but I decided he needed a more upscale food and switched him over to Pedigree.
Sure it costs more, but he is a blonde breed like the dog on the bag so I think its good food for him.

Currently have him in a pot with a paper on top to keep it dark for him, what do in case the wildlife people can't take him in? I don't have any proper knowledge on animal care, especially sick animal care.

Upon further inspection it looks like his wings are fine, he's able to use them and can fly- but his leg is rekt.

How badly does the leg seem hurt? Is the bird unable to stand on the leg? Does it keep trying to get up, or is it just lethargically laying down?

You've done right by trying to take it to the professionals. However, if they say that they're not taking songbirds, I'm sorry to say but you're on your own; sparrows are songbirds. And if you happen to be living in America, sparrows are an invasive species there, which means that your local wildlife organizations have even less incentive to help them.

Sometimes birds can hit a window or some other object and end up physically unharmed, but they're temporarily so dazed they can't fly for a moment. In such cases it's best to leave the bird alone in a safe, comfortable place and see if they'll recover with time. Judging by your later post, that's what happened to this bird. As for the leg or any possible internal damage, I'm sorry but I don't have personal experience with fixing things like that. It's possible to make a splint for a bird with an injured leg, but I'm not sure how easy would it be to successfully heal a bird that way. Also, if the bird's condition continues to be bad enough and if it needs to be kept around people and fed until it's doing better, that's going to be a tough task too.

If wildlife organizations can't help you, taking the bird to a vet is probably the best option if you want the bird to survive.
But if the bird ends up dying, don't feel too bad about it. Small injured wild birds can be challenging to keep alive.

they'll give results. whether they're accurate or not, god only knows. a vet guessing will probably be more accurate.

what difference does it make what's in your mutt? just pick a couple of cool breeds and tell people that's what your mutt is.

>>2473383
Nope. I tried them with three different samples. For breed specifics (what breed does the dog most closely resemble, weight, height) I put random shit. For my purebred GSD (whom I have an 4 generation akc certificate for) is actually a lab/rottweiler mix. My sheltie is actually a border collie/labrador mix. My shepherd mix is actually a husky/shepherd mix. When I called them to complain they hung up on me the first two times and on the third time they refunded me my money (was actually a gift from my aunt but don't let them know).

>what difference does it make
My understanding was that it would be nice to know any specific ailments that could be associated with a particular breed.

>>2473605
That's about what I was expecting. Thanks.

Spiders. Bro tier pest exterminators.

Totally. They could be astronauts. Mice have gone up in the late 50's but no rats.

>Bird or Reptile
Doesn't really make a difference.

Not sure about choosing between the two, but if you want a caged bird, you definitely shouldn't get a cockatiel, or any kind of parrot. They're highly social animals and need to get out of their cages frequently. If you want something pretty to be in a cage, get something like a canary, a finch, or a sparrow.

Kitten formula maybe? Or soft cat treats.

He is in pain. A side effect of antibiotics are also nausea, vomitting and problems pissing and shitting.

At that weight, he still needs IV fluids and most likely needs to be force fed through a tube. He will collapse very soon. Maybe in a few days, maybe in a few hours. I'm surprised a vet would even let you go home with a not even four pound, adult male cat.

He's had diarrhea for a while, and just today he shit himself sitting next to me on the couch. I'm going to insist on an emergency visit tomorrow, and try the kitten milk with a syringe tonight.

Where does my human go all day when he's not with me?
Where does my human get all the weird and magical things that are in our house, and all the food?
What does it mean when the humans make their weird noises while looking at each other?

Goldens and labs.

Which is weird because aside from cartoons and movies I can't recall seeing many of them irl. Tons of yellow labs though.

Why aren't you a real vet?
Do you have a family you support?
Favorite colour?
Least favorite colour?
If you had to choose between being a really sexy leopard or a rich Saudis pet lion which would you choose?

>>2472609
1. Too much paperwork, can't spend enough time really helping animals
2. No, I just help shelters and caring people
3. Red
4. Green
5. a really sexy leopard

Humans are in denial and have to constantly attempt to reassure themselves that they are not like the other animals in any way.

furries?

It's a gradient.
