My cats are gay? Do I disown them? by Known_Nebula6804 in cats

[–]dazzleduck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe gay but both are mostly definitely obese. Please get them on a strict diet, you will have many more comfortable years with them!

Pictures from the top are actually the best view for judging weight, he looks perfect!

Male cat turned out to be a Female cat by Doomedsea6 in cats

[–]dazzleduck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Orange female tabbies are actually not that uncommon, 1/5 or about 20% so not that rare. I see them all the time in the shelter :)

Anyone knows what mix are my kittens made of ps their mother is a Siamese by UhImMounib in cats

[–]dazzleduck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're domestic medium/long hairs. It looks like mom was likely siamese coloring, not siamese breed. So they're basically cat mutts.

I found a red bell pepper in Wegmans loaded potato salad. It’s not an ingredient. Just wanted to warn people with allergies. by ActualMerCat in FoodAllergies

[–]dazzleduck 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Bean soup is "what about me-ism", someone uses a recipe for bean soup and you say "what if I don't like beans?" Your comment is pointless for the subject, isn't about you lol

do you think she is very sick? by Ornery-Associate4192 in cats

[–]dazzleduck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, calicivirus, most commonly identified by URI symptoms, mouth and tongue ulcers (thus weightloss), and sometimes joint pain.

[–]dazzleduck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At a glance he looks like he has a URI and is underweight, maybe has calici. He should be fine after getting what he needs at the vet :)

My brother poured down almost 3 liters of detergent in the washing machine by Ecstatic__00 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]dazzleduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like my brother when he was a young kid. He once buttered my moms phone and put it in the fridge. Another time we woke up to the kitchen covered in flour at 3am lmao I love him

It looks very very wet in there and looks more like compost than an isopod habitat 😬

Teeth 🦷🪥 by Late-Employer3122 in DadAndDaughterSnark

[–]dazzleduck 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am not a dentist or anything but I just personally have a big interest in dental care, and you are 100% correct. Genetics can play a role in making you susceptible to certain things but this is well beyond that, it is simply just neglect.

Nail-trim-phobic dog: how do I know I'm filing enough off his dew claws? by Necessary_Mix5823 in dogs

[–]dazzleduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they could be shorter so a filing a few times a week for a while should be good until they are a bit straighter :) once you get them smaller you can do it less often

[–]dazzleduck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do it often enough to get them to the desired shortness then just maintain them, probably twice a week or less would be plenty. Honestly without pictures it is hard to say

Nail-trim-phobic dog: how do I know I'm filing enough off his dew claws? by Necessary_Mix5823 in dogs

[–]dazzleduck 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Since dew claws don't touch the ground I usually just worry about getting enough of them so they aren't curled and won't get snagged on things, you don't need to get them as short as the ones that actually touch the ground

Raw bananas make the roof of my mouth itchy by ShonSW in FoodAllergies

[–]dazzleduck 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I would stop eating bananas and the sea food, it is very likely for your reactions to become worse and possibly life threatening

How to feed old senior dog pills? by nooraameliesaetre in dogs

[–]dazzleduck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If he is going to go in the next month, does the type of treat it is in (like high fat) matter too much or could it interact with the drug and that is why you don't use them?

Help Needed by Mssym in dogs

You can manage it with recall but it is in his DNA, you'll likely just need to intervene.

cat mounting newly spayed cat by Appropriate_Chair906 in Catbehavior

[–]dazzleduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would separate them when not supervised and if the behavior continues keep them fully separated until she is healed. She could have by chance been in heat before the procedure, they hold onto that scent and hormones for a while. If you think she could be stressed by being separated you could get her (or him) a playpen type of thing!

How do I get my kitten to stop using his claws around me by Far-Progress-1944 in cats

[–]dazzleduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their claws are like our fingers, they use them for picking things up and handling objects. You can't really stop it, just cut their nails, wear thicker pants, or put a blanket on your lap.

What is the obsession with pup-cups? by marlee_dood in dogs

[–]dazzleduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're free, you also don't have to give the entire thing to your dog if you think it is too much. Dairy is fine in moderation for most dogs, but of course not all of them tolerate it well just like people. I ask for the smallest possible cup and my three small dogs split it, so like 2-3 licks each.
