Huh. Thought it looked like an antlion but I was like 'no thats dumb, what would an antlion larva be doing on my screen?'
Guess I wasnt far off though. Now why is it in my house?

>>2037850
yeah, it could be an antlion.
I can't really tell without a clear picture and a location. Even then I might not be able to tell the difference.

they wander around some. And they bite.

What a gorgeous cat, glad to hear you have given her another chance at life! Sorry I can't say what kind of cat she is though.

I found my girl as a stray kitten as well a couple of years ago. She was 1.4 lbs with open wounds on her side and bad ear mites.. she basically looked like a skeleton with some fur stretched over it. The vet thought she was about 2 months old and didn't think she would have lasted a couple more days on her own. Now she's fat and sassy, living the good life. She purrs loudly and rubs against me if I hold her and sleeps in my lap all the time, but bites anyone else if they so much as reach toward her.

>>2037306
OP here. Thank you for sharing!

Mine had similar hardships when we first found her. Very skinny, fleas and two bot fly larvae; one in her chest and nose. She was only around 5 or 6 weeks. They thought she had a 50/50 chance. She's the sweetest thing.

Yours has beautiful markings! Seems like she really warmed up to you! Mine can't purr since the bot fly incident, but I can feel the vibrations sometimes. She has times where she gets cuddly, but she mainly loves to wrap herself around my neck like a scarf.

Domestic medium/longhair. Cute nose spot.

Pic related, another one. When I touched it, it released this puff of brown air.

>>2036048
it's a stepped on puff ball
the "brown air" is it's spores being released

>>2036048
It's a puffball. But whatever you do, don't breathe the spores or get them in your eyes. You could die or go blind.

He does have allergies and itches himself quite a bit. So I'm wondering if it's some kind of irritation? I put a damp cloth on it to test for flea dust but it isn't.

How old?

Once they hit a certain age most dogs will start developing bumps everywhere. Just measure it's size and write it down. Unless it's a reaction to a bite you're fine.

Another.
Although within his rights this man is still a monster to rob a family of beloved pets. The dogs consisted of a mother and two of her fully grown pups.

What is fair here?

Just wait a couple years until it's legalized in the west.

You're better off just buying it if legality is a real worry to you. If you're caught growing, you're most likely be charged with not only possession, but intention to sell. Weed laws vary so much, and so do the judges so you're better off with getting a misdemeanor than a felony.

Well you could start by telling us your country...

I accidentally posted a duplicate

eventually, but it'd fuck me up pretty bad.

Extremely confident. I'd suffer from a bite or two, but no before I fuck his shit up till it with the program and backs off.

I've done it multiple times.

Not a good idea to do large breed male+smaller female. Also not a good idea to let your cat stick its dick in strays. Cats can get STDs, too.

>>2037446
forgot to write that it is a male cat

>should I let my cat contribute to the already bad stray cat problem and let it can spread it's genetic deformity?

Bait

is he up to date on shots?

first, fast him for 12 hours before giving him any more food. feed him a mixture of boiled chicken breast, pureed canned pumpkin, and rice.

KEEP HIM HYDRATED. your dog is obviously very ill and it seems like you're more concerned about your floor than his health. buy some unflavored pedialyte and squirt it in his mouth with a syringe often to keep him hydrated.

is he lethargic? is he also vomiting?

if he's acting normally and NOT tired or weak, and he's NOT dehydrated (check his gums. if they're tacky, or any color other than pink, he's dehydrated), he likely has parasites. before you go to the vet on Friday get a fresh fecal sample and have the vet do a fecal exam. they'll likely give you some antibiotics.

I'm concerned about his health, but considering he's going to the vet literally tomorrow anyways, I'd figure he's not in mortal danger since he's still as hyper as ever. I'm not sure about his gums, I'll be honest I'm a little squeamish around his teeth since they're getting sharp and he's in a biting phase. Can't really get him to training yet either because he's too young and isn't castrated yet.

To my knowledge, he's fine on shots, and he did vomit once when eating a treat, but to my knowledge he hasn't vomited any other times. I get the feeling it's because it was one of those dental treats that are fairly large and he might have tried to swallow it while it was still mostly together (a greenie if the brand matters). He doesn't vomit them up otherwise.

>I'm not sure about his gums, I'll be honest I'm a little squeamish around his teeth since they're getting sharp and he's in a biting phase.
man up and touch the pupper's gums. it's only for a second. if they're wet, he's okay. if they're a little sticky or dry, you need to get more liquid in him.

>Can't really get him to training yet either because he's too young and isn't castrated yet.
you think you can't train your dog when it's young, or if it isn't neutered? friend. please. you can absolutely begin training your dog now.

make sure he's up to date on shots. since you said he's running around normally, I'm going to go ahead and assume parasites. this is normal for young dogs, and you already said he has fleas as he's going to the vet to get treated for them. fleas can transfer internal parasites to dogs. if you haven't seen worms in your dog's poop, it's likely giardia or coccidia.

make sure the dog is hydrated. fast him for 12 hours, then give him a bit of that chicken/rice/pumpkin mix I mentioned. just a small bit. see how he does.

if your dog is dehydrated, and you can't find pedialyte, you can put a little bit of chicken broth in his water dish, or give him frozen chicken broth cubes, too.
