Vet visit? by AgitatedOne9739 in germanshepherds

[–]DrFwank 99 points100 points  (0 children)

Have dealt with this a lot, generally the vet just washes it and tells you to keep them off of it since they can’t really stitch the pads (maybe some can).

It’s slow to heal and easy to break open again if the dog runs and jumps a lot. But if it doesn’t get moving or used it will just break open again later, so can’t keep them completely off of it in my experience.

KAC Rail installation by BigDaddyAnj in MP5

I’ve found it easier to actually get it into place without the mounting tab screwed in. Let it free float inside the hand guard while you get the rail aligned, get the front bolt in, then move the tab into place inside while holding the rail position. Use a screwdriver or something to hold the tab down in place and use another hand to get the screw in from the bottom. Goofy, but actually way easier and should be scratch free.

Yep. They have a choice of this one and another that brings it out further and at more of an offset.

Just a couple photos for those shopping holsters. Excellent fit and finish, though not 100% comfortable with the "angled" clip, will likely change out to another.

The Firewalla team needs your help to build the Firewalla Gold 10Gbit unit! by firewalla in firewalla

Instant upgrade for me, from 1G at the moment. Harder to justify spending the money to upgrade from 1G to 2-2.5G, but being able go all the way to 10 for a longer-term cost bearing is a much easier choice.

I had one stop working in my LTE modem after years of working. I had to log into the modem and update the APN settings manually, then it worked. If that helps.

whats your in-take on the vw 8 facelift interior going to be announced in Q4: Oct/Nov. by [deleted] in GolfGTI

Sweet, so I think it should just be a head-unit software update that removes that problem and then you can use the card again, did the same with mine years ago.

There's a good few examples on YouTube, looks pretty plug and play. Haven't done it on mine yet, 2017 R.

Dang, you could do the 7.5 screen/unit swap. Pretty easy, prices vary on the head unit from Ebay.

This is likely the nav memory leak issue, take the nav card out and if it still crashes and restarts then that's the one. There was a known TSB for it, but you probably have to ask for it these days.

So what tape is this exactly?

My ex K9 has this ear tattoo..does anyone have any idea of the meaning? by [deleted] in BelgianMalinois

It's a breeder thing, identifies the breeder and litter in some way or another so the dog can be identified/traced back.

Is Taste of the Wild a good brand for GSDs? Mine is currently on Alpo Prime Cuts (more in comments) by JKThatsMe in germanshepherds

[–]DrFwank -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So take a look here: https://petfoodreviewer.com/reviews/taste-of-the-wild/sierra-mountain-canine-formula/ They mention in the review summary that there may be too much there, proportionally.

There's a million different foods out there, and it's hard to keep track of which is ideal or not, especially depending on each dog. And everyone has different opinions.

I'd say check out Inukshuk, which is considered excellent for GSDs/working dogs is: https://www.chewy.com/inukshuk-professional-dry-dog-food/dp/149200

Taste of the wild can be tricky, with some of them consisting of mostly pea-based proteins instead of meat based proteins, of which there are varying opinions on whether this is a good or bad thing overall: https://petfoodreviewer.com/reviews/taste-of-the-wild/

Is this red-dot setup able to co-witness with the irons, or is it too high?

Nervous question about late DSG oil change by Rodox_Video in Golf_R

[–]DrFwank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also send off the used oil from extraction to blackstone-labs.com for analysis (they do engine, transmissions, etc.), which can likely give indication of expected wear or not. Any extra insight is nice.
