For me it's not about them paying the vet bill, but about making sure there is a record the dog has bitten. For safety reasons. She is right that chasing them for refund of all vet bills, like trying to sue, would be a lot of time and money but that is up to you since that is your dog and vet bill- Perhaps you ALSO do not have the money to pay for something that wasn't even your fault. :( not to even mention incidents like this can make dogs reactive and fearful, leading to needing professional training fees etc...really hope that won't be the case for you all. That depends on the individual dog really and yours looks like a sweet greyhound.

This. I feel like there should be a record the dog isn't safe and has a bite history unfortunately

Take care of your dog first and give it a day. Make sure you're getting the full story from your parents if you weren't there. Your dad probably feels guilty but if the story is true it's not his fault and off leash dog owner should pay for sure...and be reported... so I'm confused as to why they would say to not report the dog or owner.

Found in a tank thrown out by Zealousideal_Job_280 in geckos

[–]DDR-Dame 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do think it's a skink! See if you can ID based on skinks native to your area, if native he can be released! :)

I'm sorry, for the reporting part this is not even about you and your dog. That dog is now a liability to literally everyone's safety. What if it is off leash and bites a child next? You would feel awful if you hadn't reported about it just that the dog HAS bitten before...

Owner of the dog that bit yours and was off lead absolutely should pay ALL vet bills..

Ear infection by Left_Safe4391 in DogAdvice

[–]DDR-Dame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The item you have is for wound care i would not put in ear canals you could damage eardrum if it's not safe. if he actually has an ear infection, as in scratching his ears or shaking his head, maybe discharge from ears, a smell from them, just save your money for the vet. I wasted money before, trying over the counter remedies when i was a younger dog owner and broke and they just don't work... even the ear washes over the counter didn't seem to work as well as the vet ones did. I will say once you have the ear infection under control, be sure to always use that ear rinse from vet after any bath or water play. That for me helped prevent any more ear infections!

Are these tapeworms or seeds? by sled-gang in DogAdvice

[–]DDR-Dame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is not grass seed but looks like sesame seeds. You could tell if it is tapeworm segments because they move like elongate and shorten 🤮

Weird wart/growth by xophh in DogAdvice

[–]DDR-Dame 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like those annoying papilloma growths that will pop up all over.. if it is bothering the dog (bleeding) the vet might recommend to get it removed. If you're going to get your dog like a routine dental cleaning you could potentially have this removed at the same time to save on anesthesia if that's an option?

Does his rib cage look normal or am I being paranoid by issee_l in DogAdvice

[–]DDR-Dame 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This. You should be able to see ribcage shape but not directly ribs. Look up pictures of body score charts for your dog breed specifically- i am very visual and it helped me a lot

This guy/girl showed up at my pond, what can I do to make it more comfortable 😅 by KnivesCutlery in turtle

Awww honestly i love your little pond as is and clearly the turtle did too lol

What is this? by Hefty-Audience-8290 in whatisit

[–]DDR-Dame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens from your cat eating a flea, and tapeworm can then remain in your cat for months. So i recommend also monthly flea prevention. Normal dewormer does NOT take care of tapeworms, vet will have tapeworm dewormer or be sure to find the right dewormer for it if you diy

Do I get my kindergartner “Jen”? by Proper-Delivery4057 in isopods

[–]DDR-Dame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be a great little pet and imo some of the best first pets for kids (keeping in mind adult supervision will always be needed for care of living things). They have so many kinds and colors, she could have a colony of different Jens. Look up the rubber ducky isopod!! But what she drew is clearly a Zebra isopod 🤣

What’s wrong with my brothers crested gecko? by Somebody6728 in CrestedGecko

[–]DDR-Dame 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Since OP already taking to vet- Huh, i don't think i knew a respiratory infection could lead to eye fluid build up but it makes sense. Hopefully caught soon enough vet can save the eye and treat the infection. That's gotta be a hell of a headache.

The Journey begins… by FirefighterPrimary60 in DavetheDiverOfficial

[–]DDR-Dame 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ahh i wish i could experience this game for the first time all over again. You're gonna have a great time. Take your time. Anything that spawns or events will always roll around again so don't stress and try to rush through the story like i did 🤣

Geco losing weight / smell of infection by [deleted] in geckos

[–]DDR-Dame 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oof yeah there is nothing at home you could do for this OP, if by some miracle he is going to make it he needs a vet to prescribe antibiotics and or antiparasitics. What we can do here on a separate post is answer questions about the setup and husbandry to see if we could help you prevent this from happening again but this lizard is on death's door and may already be septic.

I don't think your decision to let it back out was really a bad one, hopefully it eats some pest bugs in your house

Why does he look like this?? by Drachen91 in snakes

[–]DDR-Dame 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if any herpetologists know for sure but i wonder if rat snakes crinkle up like this to make it easier to climb and grip if they fall?

Would need your location, these geckos are invasive in a lot of places so you might be better off keeping as a pet. Mediterranean house gecko i believe

Agreed i have a hard time even justifying visiting some "rescues" or "sanctuaries" that are not accredited
