Hi I just got a Schnauzer-Chihuahua mix from a shelter. She's a rescue, and she's been pretty shy, and therefore kind of nervous so she's been chewing on her fur. I noticed this spot on her, and then I found two more. I don't think it's from her chewing on the fur, because there's one directly behind her head. Is it mange? Should I should I be concerned?

Schnauzers tend to have dry skin. It could have to do with that

Take it to the vet, moron

>>2040611
I did, and they said it could be allergies or mange, but the test for mange came back negative

Everyone keeps telling me they keep dogs entertained for hours, but my pupper played with it for a few minutes and just moved on.

Has VetRanch gone to shit since other people than Matt started posting or am I just gay for him?

Dr Karri and Dr Wendy are qt pies. but suddenly there are these new guys shitting everything up.

i suppose its a good thing it's expanding, for the animals at least.

wish they would stop skipping the operations though, its interesting to watch
>>
>>2039913
I don't think it's gone to shit, i mean yeah they don't have the personality that Matt does but he does have a family and a whole other channel he has to film for.

Honestly the fact that they have more staff is good for the animals and Matt's cause. Plus it gives us more time for PEW PEW PEW!

Also I'm pretty sure he has to constantly be on the lookout for Creepy Cooter so that probably takes time away from him being able to film vet ranch.

tl;dr: yes you're gay for matt.

Why do we euthanize pets?

Unlike humans which can commit suicide, animnals have a much stronger will to live than humans.

Animals also can't consent to euthanasia, can you imagine how betrayed your pet feels as it realizes you took it to die?

No matter how much pain animals are in, they never opt for suicide, they are programmed to live as long as possible.

Shit's just fucked up in my opinion, peopel being selfish because they can't take the pain of their animals when the animal CAN take its pain.

rest easy anon, pets are not capable of feeling betrayed or realizing somebody took it to the vet to die.
>>
I agree. If the animal would suffer so much it would rather die then we'd see animals committing suicide but we dont see that do we. Thus it's natural to assume animals rarely if ever suffer so much they would rather die. And what right do we have to decide for them?

Hi! I live in Louisiana, and green anoles are common. I found one half an hour ago in my apartment. Normally, I would just put him outside, but it is 54 degrees outside right now. If I put him out now, will it kill him? I think being in here is stressing him out, because he is turning brown (a sign of anole stress). Should I leave him in here till it hits a decent anole temperature of 65 (around 2:30 pm) or can I safely put him outside in a sunny spot?

put him in your basement or attic if you have one

chances are he came in the attic through a vent stack and found his way around via hvac ducts

>>2038857
Not OP, but another louisifag. There are no basements here because of flooding and OP said they live in an apartment, meaning they probably don't have an attic

can verify lack of basements. We got people who have their houses on stilts, though. That's just as cool, right?

So lately there's a little wolf spider hanging around in my house. He's been chilling on the walls for almost a month now, always showing up around 11PM.

What can I do to please the small guy?

Hello, /an/.

I don't often post here. And I am sorry if I annoy anyone with a thread like this.

About two hours ago my dog died. He lived with my parents, about 200 miles away from my place, so I wasn't with him. But the last time I saw him, two weeks ago, I said goodbye properly, since it was certain he would be gone soon. He was 15 years old, half blind and weak, didn't hear so well anymore, and, well, his hindlegs were barely functional in the end.

This is the last photo of him that my brother send to me last tuesday's eve. I don't really know what I want to accomplish with this thread, but I am sad. Sadder than I thought I'd be. I basically grew up with that stinker, and now he's dead.

So, I don't know. Share stories about friends you have lost. Let's have a thread in their memory.

He probably lived a good life. And he lived until his natural limits. That is how nature works.
My previous dog died not from natural causes which is a sad thing. He wasn't always loved and he didn't get to live to old age. Be happy yours had a full life experience.
>>
>>2038017
I know. He lived as good a life a dog could wish for. But it's sad to know him gone. Especially since I couldn't be with him that much the last four years.

What happened to yours?

I was about 15 years old. Dog was about 7. He was ignored almost all of the time. We were pretty shitty owners. He only ate leftovers, old bread or nothing at all. As my father put it: If the dog does not eat mold bread, he is not hungry. Walking him out would be at best once a day for 10 minutes. The last 2 years of his life as i matured a bit i started to really appreciate him. Sneaking food for him, taking him with me wherever i go, petting him regularly. He learned some tricks and obedience. In return the little lovely creature started to really enjoy my company, he became more alive and loyal. He started to pee on my father's pillow every day. No idea why and what to make of it (maybe he sensed i don't like my father?). We kept my parents bedroom closed but every time we forgot it open he would go and pee. One night as i was asleep my parents came home drunk from a party. And the doggy had done it again. My father got pissed and threw him out of the window. We lived on the 9th floor... I will always remember the little pooh and will never forgive my father.
Dog looked pretty much like the pic.

Hey guys, my 14 year old buddy won't eat any dry or wet food. It started about a month ago and has just gotten worse. He won't eat any dry, and will just lick the gravy off wet food. I worried it was his teeth but they're fine. I got to the end of my rope and bought rotisserie chicken, and cut it into cat size bites and he licked the bowl clean. I even gave him a bone and he ate half of it. Why won't he eat at least wet food? Why turn up his nose until I cut him fresh chicken? I'm not opposed to feeding him fresh, how many more years has he got anyway, but I wish he would eat canned like he did for the first 14 years. Thanks.

Hey, /an/. Anyone know what this is? There's a few at my house lately and I've never seen them before. In case the picture quality isn't very clear, it's basically some big yellow fly-thing with green eyes. I've been ignoring them, but now I'm wondering if I should get rid of them.

Yeah, I just found it right now. Thanks for confirming it, though. Definitely looks like the picture and apparently they like some purple flower just like the ones that my mom got as a gift last month. I guess there were larvae in it. Am I right to assume that they're not a threat to me or my stuff? Can I just keep ignoring them?

I don't know anything about them.

Hey guys, need to know what breed my dog can pass as. I'm currently moving to an apartment but most places have a breed restriction list. Let me know what you guys think. I'm getting fake paperwork for him but I need some ideas of what would be a good look alike breed for him. He's a pit bull/Australian cattle dog Mix.
