go back to the vet and have them put it down

>>2290006
Did they do a fecal? How about an xray or an ultrasound?

>>2290064
No, no and no. I don't know if they even have equipment for the latter two.

Maybe the larger vet in the city. I wonder what I can expect to pay for an intensive checkup. Germany here.

One thing that sucks is I can't weight the criticality of the situation. I also get weak and dizzy when I merely have flu. If the cat is drinking, maybe it will just go away in a few days. It's been a little less than a week now...

Wasn't there a poster on /an/ that kept one several years ago?

>>2289888
Why would you ever do this

>>2289888
surely that's just some viral video from ADI or Stan Winston's School or something like that, right?

don't tell me those giants exist

What if my dog is a rescue and I never had the chance to socialize him?

>>2289852
fireworks days were always the worst when i worked for a microchip company. i'd have multiple calls about the same dog throughout the night because the owners kept putting her outside. one guy said he refused to keep his dog inside because it was trying to eat through its kennel so he put it outside and it dug a hole through the fence and escaped.

I also think a lot of the fear dogs have is because the owners are expecting the dog to be scared. I mean people who will automatically pick up their dog and "soothe" him or make a big deal about the noise. The first time my puppy heard fireworks he stood up and stared at me, i said "its ok" and he lied back down. now he doesn't even react

Fireworks should be banned desu.

Up

Just 3 years of college left btw

After it I could bring dog with me again

Wait until you finish college and get your own dog once your life is stable.

I let my cat run around outside and kill shit.

If you have the money, I'm sure an outdoor area like pic related would be pretty good for any indoor pet who doesn't walk well on a leash. Pic related looks pretty boring, though. My cats love to be out on the porch, especially when we fill up the bird feeder.

>>2289827

That (((American))) cat looks so happy

>>2289763
All I know of it is that it was originally bred from the Pekingese, which at the time was already a tame lapdog to begin with.

The breed was then further bred with only adjusting its appearance further in mind, leading to severe health defects and issues making for an expensive to care for animal with a miserable quality of life, making it the poster child of bad breeding practices.

I have a pug he's pretty healthy desu. I wash his little face every other day, clean his ears once a week, and make him go for longs walks with me and my german shep/lab mix. I do mostly agree with the "pugs are an abomination" thing, but I still love my cute little piggies.

>rescue pugs
Great! They're sweet dogs and the owner is adopting one without supporting the people who'd sacrifice a dogs qualify of life for aesthetics and money.
>direct from breeder pugs
Essentially giving somebody ~$900 to abuse animals and condemn them to at least ten years of suffering and discomfort. Unless you're buying a retromop, which is unlikely because there's currently very few breeders and the only one I know of lives in germany. Pic related. Still ugly, but much better.

They're nice dogs, but there's more than enough available to rescue. There's no excuse for paying somebody a thousand dollars to make animals that will need their eyes removed and nose cartilage ripped out. (They're frequently abandoned because people can't afford such surgeries.) They're fucking stupid, they smell bad, are generally unhygienic and they can't do much exercise, but they're very friendly dogs.

...a grasshopper?

The worst thing a grasshopper has ever done to me was barf up some of that brown shit on my hand. They're pretty cute desu.

>>2289730
That's a locust but same thing really. Most people have your response. Why am I so repulsed by these things? Ever since I laid eyes on one as a kid I've been hardcore triggered by them. Lol is there nobody else who feels the same way?

>>2289734
It's the legs that set me off and their ability to just zoom around woth them. It's just too much

>>2289554
it needs to be crossbred out of existence, much like the other genetically deteriorating breeds

I alternate between thinking they're really ugly and really beautiful.

ha ha long boy

Want a dingo get a blue heeler

>>2289299
Not at all. They're as terrible as pets as wolves.


Anyone who thinks getting one as a pet would be a good idea is a fucking idiot.

>>2289669
Not really my grandfather raised a litter of wolves and they made good guard dogs. Granted he was an animal trainer. He sold all but 1. None of them misbehaved outside of their guard duties.

>>2289261
Fuck

Fuck

1 out a 1

pigeon/dove

1/10 bcoz all pigeons are cancer

>>2288948

Legal state or illegal state?

>>2288951
europe, legal to grow for personal use

>>2288948

Indoor near a window that gets lots of sun should be okay to start growing right now, i think.

Dogs are the most redpilled animals.

Labrador or a Border Collie.

>>2288761

Dogs are tasty.

anything that isnt a tiny faggot dog unless your tiny faggot dog is a working dog and you actually hunt game or fowl

fuck em it's your horse

Discriminating against fatties is nothing like discriminating against people for being a different race or gender. They had a choice and they made the decision to be fat. Fuck them.

That being said, there are ways around it if you really feel that bad about it

If someone tells you that you are 'fatshaming'(KEK) because you dont want them to break your horses spine then tell them that they should be ashamed.

Why not both?

>>2288599
both extremes are bad.
big dogs live only very short and also often have hip problems and stuff like that
small dogs OTOH are often toybreeds, so thats bad in and off itself

>>2288599
We had some kind of big dane when i was little but he lived very short.
he was very calm and loving though. very genuine dog.

My dad bought a top breed tea cup chihuahua a few years ago and she's the fakes fucking dog I'v ever met. She behaves like a cunt with other dogs, barks at everything, protects her owner. She can't do anything by herself, she's literally ALWAYS between your feet while doing stuff (nnot separation issues but she's always fucking between people's feet). She doesn't give you any effection, she CRAVES that you give it to her.
My dad payed a shit load of money to get her behaviour training but that lasted for like a week and she was a cunt again. She won't bite or anything, she's just an irritating stupid cunt dog.

When I lived with my grandparents they had a dobermann. He was chill, cool, super quick learner (like it was crazy how fast he learned). Extremely well behaved because he was trainable unlike that shitty chihuahua. He's cool as fuck. My grandparents still have him after what feels like 100 years.
