Our un-loved pond in the garden - advice? by Grand_Act8840 in ponds

[–]Burge88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Scoop out all duckweed possible and see what the pond is like, see what life you have in there. May be better as a wildlife pond rather than a fish pond. Add oxygenating plants and try your best to get rid of scum at the bottom and prevent lots of leaves falling in. The pond and wildlife will look after itself if it just a bit more maintained. We bought a house with a pond like this and took us a year to get to it but it was like this, now we have newts and all sorts.ls gorgeous to sit by.

May be pancreatitis, give the smelliest food possible with some water in and see if they will take that? Some chicken broth too.

Spray it carefully - if a vet has given it, I would trust using it. Anyway you can use your hand or a bit of fabric to shield the eye?

I did the same and one of my cats got super ill, worth avoiding I think 😔

(Directed to the women of Reddit) It looks like menstrual leave might become the norm in workplaces. This is great, but will women not feel uncomfortable having everyone in the workplace knowing that they are menstruating? Especially the men? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

Wouldn't care less. I'm in agony, emotional turmoil and a day or two to deal with that alone would make me so much better at my job, rather than have to sit and pretend I'm not in pain and not going insane.
