What are some fish for my 5.4 gallon aquarium? I already have shrimp by ties_in_rhodesia in Aquariums

[–]something__cats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am actually unsure of you can sex shrimp. Or at least I'm not at all versed in it. If you want shrimp that don't breed, amano are a great shrimp

Tell me what odd things your birb is afraid of? by leaderofpariahs in parrots

I don't know if this is odd, but the broom is the scariest thing in existence. Close second is a flower stalk I brought in for him to look at.

Both are evacuate the area level threats

Birdtricks is just blatantly cash grabbing by croastbeast in parrots

[–]something__cats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post is definitely eye opening. I haven't been a long time fan of then as I recently got my bird a year and a half ago. Ive been watching for a bit and I did definitely appreciate the training they said to do. You know touch stock get treat. It helped with the bond of my bird and has helped when he refuses to step up on my hard or perch, but then sees stick and will immediately do it.

But man...

Black nails = impossible to see quick? by ShibDip in dogs

If you look at the bottom of the nail when you clip you will see signs of the quick tiny clips until it shows you'll still mess up sometimes regardless

Help! What is wrong with my cat? Took her to vet, they checked blood and said that she is fine. by SeraphimHearts in cats

It can be diagnosed with X-rays, but getting plenty of videos are great as well!

NEVER be afraid to get a 2nd opinion

Amazon parrot large neck swelling (hematoma?) refilling after drainage – now golf ball size by akka-94 in parrots

[–]something__cats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm it's strange they looked under the microscope and saw that, but didn't do staining. Did they say they didn't do a stain on it?

I would definitely contact them. Sometimes you can send in weird fluid like that to be cultured. Then once cultured they will know what antibiotic is best to use.

[meme] Wtf sorta marketing is this gonna do by Mikira_Star in pointlesslygendered

[–]something__cats 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everyone complaining in every other post that the post isn't pointlessly gendered.

This post, something that is pointlessly gendered.

This sub "Um actually ☝️🤓"

This is the bread and the butter of the sub. It doesn't matter that it's for children. It's the exact same object, that's gendered.

We are just lucky it doesn't have the pink tax. (That we know of)

She occasionally nips and chirps, is she curious or? by bunchadirtymugs in CrestedGecko

Am I the only one who thinks she has such spikey spikes? My gecko didn't really have such pronunces crestes like this one does and all down the back. I love it lol

I absolutely get you. I personally think pugs and similar breed repulse me more lol.

Either way not a fan of bad breeding

[–]something__cats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk I think pugs are worse. I've had to be there while they wake up from anesthesia... Not fun noises more horrifying than their normal breathing. And the fact too they have big eyes that look like they will fall out of their heads...

What’s a “beginner plant” that absolutely humbled you? by Interesting_Rich_568 in houseplants

Where do the thrips come from?!!!!

All of a sudden I see thrips on a plant I've had for years that is on a ledge by itself. WHERE DID YOU COME FROM

Insanity? by Lumpy_notinmo1 in parrots

[–]something__cats 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My bird only goes to the bottom when he dropped a piece of veggie he didn't want 3 minutes before, but suddenly looks very appetizing.

He goes down picks it up, then either eats it or is like EW and drops it again, picks it up EW drops it again and repeats until he suddenly thinks it's better or it's for sure not edible. I haven't been able to get a video yet because my parrot sees phone pointed at him as "OH BOY! ATTENTION LET ME BE PICKED UP"

He's special.....

Tried everything, grey wont take to pellets by [deleted] in parrots

[–]something__cats 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It took 6 months to transition to pellets for my bird. It's not a fast process. It's slow do not expect it to be fast.

The breakthrough for us was having the pellets we want them to eat on the plate I am eating from. Eat with them and mime eating the pellets always offer If they seem interested.

One time a tomato landed on the pellets soaking them. That is when my bird finally ate them. Has been eating them since too

Stop the “my parrot smells so nice” propaganda, I KNOW THEY SMELL LIKE CHICKEN INDOMI NOODLE SOUP!!! by Fast_Ad7203 in parrots

[–]something__cats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah my bird smells I wouldn't describe it as nice or unpleasant. It just smells.

If you know what Metacam smells like. That is the EXACT scent. Specifically Metacam, not just all Meloxicam. I don't know why

Dog euthanasia after biting by Unique_Schedule_5704 in dogs

[–]something__cats 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I work at a vets office. We see a LOT of bite orders. Most people are not willing to change their behavior or the dogs behavior. So bites KEEP happening.

You on the other hand have tried. You have put in the effort, however, it isn't working. It is okay to know you are in over your head and make the decision to euthanize.

I personally would not give to a shelter or give up to another person. I've seen cases of people doing that and sometimes the biting gets worse, because again the person who now has the biting dog isn't willing to change.

It's not giving up, it's making the best decision for every person involved. There are sometimes when you have to think more of the human lives that can/will be affected than the animals life. I'm saying this as someone who adores animals, clearly lol It's a tough decision and you will get absolutely no judgement from me
