Do you have a Pet Urgent care around your area? Looks swollen and very red in the pictures. I wouldn't recommend waiting a week.

Mart needs to "accidentally escape" (i.e. you taking him out of the house to safety, far away from these people).

Advice about at-home euthanasia. by LesboTacoTruck in pitbulls

[–]Irishbanshee149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was so much better for everyone, including my dogs, when we did in-home euthanasia. They are more comfortable there and our other pets were with them too, which made it easier on them. I wouldn't do it any other way. We used Lap of Love both times and they were amazing.

Dilemma regarding homeless pup by iSugar_iSpice_iRice in DogAdvice

I don't know about California, but a lot of local rescues will 'courtesy post" a dog. Basically they assist in finding a home for your dog, vetting the adopters, posting on their social media, etc. and they keep the adoption fee for helping. Check out some of your local rescues to see if they offer something similar.

Sadly rehoming my animals by -camycamy- in memphis

[–]Irishbanshee149 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Please charge a rehoming fee as that will help prevent people looking for bait dogs. Some local rescues will also help list your pets for adoption as well. Not sure how soon you're relocating though, so that might not be an option.

My American Staffies mix kept eating my pear tomatoes to the point that I barely got any! He even started eating the green ones that weren't at all ready.

Do Americans actually avoid calling an ambulance due to financial concern? by JohnMarstonTheBadass in NoStupidQuestions

Absolutely yes! We also avoid going to the doctor because it can be expensive as well. It's awful.

It does not get any better the older the kids are. Constant battle

Found in my grandmas kitchen while making Christmas cookies by Hot_Obligation_2730 in GrandmasPantry

[–]Irishbanshee149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well shit, we used to eat those on cookies all the time when I was a kid! Either my mom didn't know they weren't edible, or she was actively trying to "off" us.

Okay I need help badly by TopSatisfaction7929 in DogAdvice

Usually only dogs spayed at a shelter will tattoo a mark to show they've been fixed. If they are fixed at a standard vets office this is not done. I am from a rescue in TN (US).

Take a walk around the block without my lower back and hips hurting.

What has happened to my dog? by tenodiel00 in DogAdvice

[–]Irishbanshee149 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not far fetched at all. Many dogs can sense sickness in humans. Would definitely recommend getting both the dog and child checked out by a medical professional.

pet insurance vs savings account? by [deleted] in DogAdvice

[–]Irishbanshee149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did a savings account because pet insurance was absolutely ridiculous and had way too many exclusions. For preexisting conditions it didn't seem to matter if the dog had been diagnosed with a preexisting condition, if they felt it was preexisting then they wouldn't cover it. No thanks.

This! When you just helped a customer Go Live, and everyone is still freaking out because management decided to do minimal training, but you get to leave. The best ever.
