So, where do axolotl conversations go? I see where they can fit in Aquarium general threads, but I can also see them going in Reptile/Amphibian threads.

I see it as being pointless and a waste of the person's GPA.
>Being a vet has a lower status and income
>The number of years of studying in grad school is the same though
>Job security is somewhat lower than being a doctor
>You memorise the same shit about anatomy so it's not like vet school is easier
>Both are just as stressful as you need to perform operations and that is gruesome
>Vet school may as well be harder as you need to deal with so many species of animals

What kind of duck is this?

It was about the size of a mallard, or perhaps slightly smaller. Some birds had a very clearly defined white spot on the chest, while on others (like this one) it was a bit speckled.

Seen in southern Sweden.

Hey /an/
I'm not sure if the last thing I posted actually went through because of the shitty app I'm using on my phone.
Friendly visit from a /k/ommando. I need /an/'s help in deciding the best battle buddy for me.

Preferences include:
- ability to stay off leash in wooded areas and respond to commands well, not chasing after everything it sees
- doesn't require exercise every single day.
- doesn't bark a huge amount unless there's something that it should bark a lot at. For instance a home intruder
- does require a large expanse of land to run around in on a daily basis.
- not a puffball
- sheds as little as possible

I've lived with dogs all my life and love them lots. I bow to /an/'s Superior dog knowledge.

I have 500mg amoxicillin, and a cat with a urinary tract infection.

I'm going to break down the pills and put it in food, I'd also like to medicate my other two cats(eye discharge) simultaneously.

Anyone got advice on the dosage for this stuff?

I think I just created super bedbugs.

There have been bedbugs in my house since 2011, when I first tried to fix the problem, I bought some spray to kill them and their eggs. It worked, I even direct sprayed them to see if it would kill them and it did. ℅100 of the time. A year later they grew back in size, so I tried the spray again. This time......it didn't even kill one, I direct sprayed just to see what happened. So I bought an even more expensive spray. Same story, they were gone got a year and then they come in full force and that spray doesn't work. So I tried to do the fuming thing from pest control, it worked just like the first 2....for a year then they would come back stronger and immune to what killed them last year. OK, I was freaking out, so I combined the first 3 and added even more sprays to the mix. The population decreased significantly, but after 2 years, they came back, immune to every spray I throw at them, o must've bought every brand. So I was reading and found out about really hot temps could kill them, and I should just use steam cleaner. So, I decided to buy an expensive steam cleaner to kill them and to put infected stuff that could fit in the dryer and set the dryer to 2 hours. I was confident this would work, it has been working all this time, no bedbugs can resist. Until.....

I've had a feeling the bed bugs were coming back last week and the dryer and steam cleaner is getting less effective.

To test this, earlier this afternoon,i put a pillow cover with a few bedbugs into the dryer, set for 2 hours. Now, I check my pillow case after I take it out. I poke the bedbugs.... they're FUCKING MOVING.
I think I created an unstoppable bedbug mutation in my house.

Ok so I tried this thread on /out/ and haven't had much luck there yet so I figured Id try here too. I don't frequent either board. I bought these cacti about 4 months ago and I need help identifying what they are. I think they could be a trichocereus/echinopsis species but I'm not sure. Any cactiphiles here that could help or scoot me in the right direction.
