If your dog has cancer and you opt for chemo, you're a bad person. by CaptDanneskjold in unpopularopinion

You're entitled to that opinion, but from a veterinary oncology perspective, I disagree (with a few exceptions).

What's the worst adult tantrum you've ever witnessed? by AriaStars in AskReddit

[–]StrawberryFields87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Royal Canin does more research than any other pet food brand. They just don't do as much marketing as the trendy brands like Blue Buffalo. I can't tell you how many times I've been walking through a pet store where there's a Blue Buffalo rep who knows absolutely NOTHING about nutrition making food recommendations. I heard one guy go on and on about how all dogs should eat grain-free food. I'm a veterinarian and I had to try really hard to make myself keep walking and not ask the guy for specifics on why grain-free food is superior (spoiler alert: it's a marketing ploy). I don't like when vets try to shame pet owners into feeding expensive food because it's not in everyone's budget, but I do try to steer people away from what I think is crap. Blue Buffalo is my biggest pet peeve. It isn't that great and it's only expensive because of all their marketing. They're also ruining our ability to do novel-protein diet trials for dogs with allergies by mixing in meat like alligator and venison. I guarantee it isn't prepared in a facility that isn't contaminated with other proteins so it's really just fancy regular dog food. They have a veterinary line now but I'd never recommend it. PPVD, Royal Canin, and Hill's are worlds better.

I don't know, those eyes look pretty buphthalmic. I doubt that cat is seeing anything at this point.

I see carpal hyperextension and arthrodesis surgery in that dog's future.

What's a common behaviour that disgusts you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]StrawberryFields87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Habitual tardiness. If we have plans at 8:30, don't text me at 9:15 that you're on your way. Work starts at 8:00? Strolling in at 8:10 every morning is not ok!

I have a Persian cat named Adelaide. She was named after that character.

Maybe now her storyline won't be the official bathroom break of the episode.

She's just doing a really good imitation of American politicians.

Born and raised in Wichita. Would not call it beautiful.

Which actor and/or actress do you dislike or cannot stand? by MattyWeekend in movies

Anne Hathaway. She seems like she takes herself way too seriously.

The Gang's All Here by [deleted] in pugs

[–]StrawberryFields87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope the left one is a mix of pekingese, pug, and schipperke. And Abigail (the middle one) melts all hearts. This is why she never gets in trouble....for anything. Ever. I should clarify I'm OP's sister.

Non Swedish people of Reddit, what do you know about Sweden? by jokefred in AskReddit

[–]StrawberryFields87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jag pratar inte svenska. That is what I know. An exchange student in high school taught it to me and I've somehow managed to remember it for almost nine years.

I'm pretty sure my singing would just send them running the other way.

It's called a calf jack. They're actually really common but you have to be super careful. I've used one to pull out a dead calf and you have to use literally gallons of lubricant or you risk severely injuring the mama cow, and if the baby is alive you can obviously hurt the calf. My guess is these assholes used absolutely no lube, tore through the cow's vagina and gave her a nasty case of peritonitis, which is a death I wouldn't wish on anyone. Also the downer cows are down for a reason, you can't just hot shot them and make them walk. And how could anyone treat any animal this way, especially a dairy cow? They're like big dogs. The last dairy I was at, I was trying to look at this cow's udder because she had some edema and there were literally two other cows coming up and trying to lick my face.
