Cowns are naturally really really curious creatures so you can't really say it is appreciating music.

Ok so I might have to go to the vet but I'm not even sure if it would be of any help

>5 year old German Shepherd/Malinois
>constantly scratching
>usually happens at this time of year
>out of nowhere, an urge to scratch, specially at 4-5AM
>no fleas (already checked and recheked and washed him wtih flea shampoo multiple times and didn't see any fleas coming out of his fur)
>no obvious signs of anything (no hair loss, no dull looking fur coat, no changes in color, not anything)
>dog seems healthy otherwise
>I live in Southern Ontario
>it has been a dryer than usual summer

Any ideas? I'm leaning towards dry skin, but the fact that this isn't the first time this has happened, and it happens exactly at this time of year, leads me to believe that it could be environmental, maybe some plant releases its pollen this time of year? I don't know. I would take him to the vet but last year all they did was to tell me to buy him some spray to soothe his skin...and it didn't work :( thank you

I would guess allergies, yeah. Take him to the vet, and ask thrn about how much antihistamines he needs. Dogs can have people allergy medicine, just got to dose it right. Would trust your vet to get this info instead of random ass shit you find online. Maybe if you call, a tech can just go ask the vet and ask you a trip.

You know, you can go back and tell them "it didn't work", right?

weird the last vet I visited didn't even mention this he just said "lol here's some tea tree oil cya".....

>>2199475
I guess I could, I just want to rule out anything that might be obvious, at the end of the day, docs and vets also google things all the time

I've been looking for an excuse to talk about mushrooms, mainly the ones that take over ants and burst out the backs of their heads. I think that's badass. And the ants know and banish the infected members from their nests.

The picture is of a bleeding tooth mushroom.

Now these are delicious. They are also coveted almost as much as money itself in some places.

Goddammit now I wish I had some and they are 8 months away.

He won't shit outside when I take him and waits until we come back inside to shit on the carpet, and he absolutely won't stop biting the leash.

If he wasn't so absolutely adorable I'd be going insane

This duck followed my mother 5 miles in a kayak on the river to our town. His top beak is broken and he is having a hard time picking up food. For the last 3 days I have been feeding him cat food, bread, and pretzels. He is very friendly and will let me briefly pet him. He stay at the same spot on the river and quickly swims over to me as soon as he sees me. What can I do for my pet duck? If I call the game commission will they just kill him to put him out of his misery? Obviously he won't survive the winter.

Yesterday I almost beat the shit out of some kids who were throwing rocks at him. They apologized and left. Had they said anything smart I would have thrown them into the river.

wat do

Any guesses on how this could have happened to him. I don't think he would have survived had he been born this way. My best guess is he got hit by a boat.

Hey /an/ I need some advice.

Basically I have this cat who gave birth to some kittens, I let her stay inside with them for a little while now as the kittens are extremely active and love to walk around, explore and play. These cats are meant to stay outside, the only reason I let them come in was because my grandmother was afraid the momma cat was going to carry them beyond the house (and die as this cat had a tendency to carry them somewhere where no one would find them, and eventually we would find them dead).

Basically I have been extremely patient and the kittens seem to love walking around the front yard and are calm. The momma cat is very anxious and constantly looking around, running meowing and then darting back to the door. She wants to go inside and when I open the door she just sprints throughout the house meowing. Doesn't she understand that her kittens are out there? I mean she sees them and licks them. I don't know how to make her stop, so I put the kittens back inside and she seems to have calmed down. What the hell do I do?

Rehome all of the cats, not just the kittens. And by rehome, I mean find someone who will take them and put them in their home and care for them. Put a free kittens and cat on Craigslist.

Is there something wrong with my cats eyes? They're often gunky but they don't seem to bother him, meaning he never claws at them or anything like that. They look kinda red and swollen?

Looks like the beginning of kitty pink eye or a symptom of URI. Needs doxycycline or tobramycin, depending on what it is. While you're are the vet, get it fixed too. Mine a well save money on one vet visit, and they can best examine the cat while it's sedated anyway

Conjunctivitis- could be a billion things. Allergies, foreign objects, FHV, etc.

Since it's recurring.. VET!

Gently clean his eyes when there's goop. I've heard apple cider vinegar between the shoulder blades works... but seems unlikely.
Clean out his eyes

Eusocial creatures with a hivemind that could resemble our consciousness would be cool.

>>2198641
I'm afraid they could actually outperform us in virtue of having a hivemind

>>2198643
They would outperform us in terms of productivity no doubt.

In terms of creativity not so much though.
