/an/ fucking help me. I'm taking care of my sister's 5-6 month old puppy and my current dog bit his ear and I'm fucking panicking. I couldn't get many photos cause I can't bear to look at it but I /think/ it might be slightly pierced at the edge and some fur in the ear came off.
I know I fucked up please don't remind me I think I'm having a panic attack
I'll post another pic in the comments but I think it makes it look worse than it does
Neosporin.
Gauze.
Tape.
Vet.
Disinfect it and try to stop the bleeding as best you can. Take him to the vet in the morning.
Didn't find the cat general so don't know if this need a thread but
i would like to know how can you see how big a kitten is going to be.
Look at the father. Look at the mother. Estimate that it'll be around that big and hope that it doesn't take after an unknown grandparent that is a completely different size.
If you can't identify the father (and you probably won't be able to), then just look at the mother and hope a bit harder.
If you don't know the mother either then it's just completely about hoping for the best.
>>2169761
so its nothing?
how about paw or tail size?
and im looking for adoption so its hard to get pics of the parents
>>2169767
that kind of shit doesn't even work very well for human children.
Is an horse a athlete?
moreso than any of us
Life without horses?
I don't think so.
>>2169725
Being athletic is the default for all animals except humans.
What kind of toad is it?
Aren't some toads poisonous, especially if a dog puts it in it's mouth? Be careful OP
>>2169687
Not sure, is this a poisonous toad?
My dog is very old and now he has this enormous red lump on his butt.
He's grown a lot of lumps over his body through the last few years, and he's had this one on his butt for at least two years now, but it used to be much smaller. It has grown a lot recently. He doesn't seem to mind it, and, although he licks it a little sometimes, he doesn't seem to feel any pain: he can sit, he doesn't seem to be having any trouble defecating and so on.
Do you now what the name of this thing is?
I live in a trashy third-world city and the vet here isn't of any help. He just say it's age-related and that's it.
The pictures are bad because he bites me when I try to touch his behinds.
>>2169645
Goatse we call it around here.
fly to united states
take to vet
Can anybody identify this insect?
>>2169644
giant mesquite bug nymph maybe.
there's a couple different bug nymphs that look like that.
>>2169644
maybe if you posted a non-shit picture?
>>2169657
they're fucking, I doubt it's a nymph

What went wrong? This all barely happened today
>>2169610
Sorry about the typo I meant I came home to find that they had killed the small white one as they had pecked it to death and where eating it
>>2169612
I fell fucking stupid for having to make a third post but of the five chickens two of them were the Chinese one's with feathers on their feet while the other ones were basic chicken hens
Pecking order.
Okay, we're trying this again:
Hey /an/, my dog is getting tired of his old chew toys so lets get him some new ones
>Dubs get to pick one CHEW toy

Roll for my pupper guys, let's make him happy

I browse all day anyways.
Hello anons, I need some advice about my 6 month old Staffordshire Bull Terrier (pic related). She has recently been taking things off of the coffee table, usually to play with or redistribute throughout the living room. How do I keep her from contining this behaviour? Any and all advice is much appreciated. Thanks :)
>>2168954
Also I didnt see a rules sticky so of Im not following them here please let me know. Its my first time starting a new thread in this part of 4chan.
Nice looking dog.
What kind of training have you done with her so far?
She is a dumb baby at the moment. Do your best to interrupt the undesired behavior, but don't expect miracles. Also, look at finding an obedience class for you and her as well... unfortunately she is a bit older for puppy classes. Look for a trianer that FOCUSES on positive reinforcement (not necessarily only teaches it though). You'll need to be super consistent with her as she grows, as many dogs just don't get out of their dumb until they fully become an adult.
Ok guys I need some assistance
My dog caught a cold a few days ago, but 2 days later his nose strols got inflamated and he had difficulty to breath. But then he started to have difficulty to stand up, and now he doesn't move
He still eats, and ocassionaly barks but he doesnt move and has contractions when he breaths
Is it too late?
please help
>>2168895
>nose strols
yeah i heard those were fatal.
seriously though, eating is a good sign. make sure he drinks water, that is VITAL, try to force it on him, even dripping it on his mouth so he gets the idea. it could be that he is just sick, dogs can get bad viral infections. but, like humans, can only recover easily if they are well hydrated.
is he a small dog? i have had shih tzus and spitz my whole life, and this is pretty common, they are just jind of lazy so if they feel bad, they won't move unless they have to. be on the watch for bloody stools or mucus-y vomit, because those can mean something other than infection, and warrant a vet visit.
i hope he gets better, bro
>>2168900
he hasn't vomited, he can breath now but he has contractions
i'm worried because he cant stand up and wont move, except when he is about to piss himself of barks because of some noise on the street
Hey /an/. I own ducks at my house, 6 to be exact. Two died last night and one is injured. I'm pretty sure a raccoon got into the pen. Does anyone here know any ways i can stop this from happening again, or if i can fix up the injured duck? I promise i'll post pics later, its raining where i am
>>2168734
A raccoon is unlikely; they don't typically take on live prey bigger than a rat or lizard. Bobcat, fox or coyote is more likely, especially if 2 are dead.
Sorry op
>>2168734
where are you from? it was probably a weasel, stoat or whatever equivalent in your area; those little fucks get on killing frenzies when rabid and show no mercy
my grandma for instance had over 100 rabbits and one of them killed them all overnight
get a cat, the smell will drive them off
>>2168802

Would you call the sound a seagull makes a squawk or a caw?
Dunno never seen/heard a seagull before
Do I have to vote for either? I think they scream.
Or shriek. Or screech.
What kind of spider is this?
I took a photo with my cellphone and it was too windy so I couldn't get another angle.
>>2168315
Underside shots are always tricky. It's an orbweaver but I can't tell you more than that.
>>2168315
Brown Recluse
Looks sort of like a European Garden Spider.

accidently caught a crayfish, anyone have an idea what species it is?
going to keep it as pet.
>>2168049
I'm guessing Orconectes limosus but I don't into crayfish, they weren't even a thing around here until recently.
>>2168050
Check your local state's fish and wildlife website and look for the crayfish species
Hey /an/ me and my friend were driving when we saw this little angle on the side of the road. She was calling for her mother so we stopped and went out to make sure she was okay. She wasn't running but didn't come either, i took her up to look at her and she was so skinny like she hasen't eaten in a long time so we decided to take her with us. (Live on the country so people doesn't really care much for cats, and they often get hit by cars or killed by the "reaper" machines and people leave them to die) i have now bought kitten food. Milk and have the intentions to nurse her back to health! She is very sweet and is starting to like me so she wants to be touched and cuddled by me now( almost) how old do you think she is? She doesn't really drink water, she can eat though but she is sooo small and skinny :( then she have ear mides and maybe something with her tummy, but i honestly don't know, i am not sure she can shit and pee by herself. At least she haven't done that so far
So bad at pictures sorry!
>>2167991
Ffs trying again!
If she cannot use the potty on her own, she is probably less than 6 weeks.
Take her to the vet when you can. They will be able to accurately age her and give you advice on the care she will need at that age. They will also be able to give you medicine for the ear mites and possibly intestinal parasites (good chance she has them). Lastly, give her a nice, medicated flea bath and ask the vet about flea preventatives. She might have brought some in.
