Mine too (got my share of fur babies), but it is sad that in our society there are people who can’t afford the smallest of healthcare.

I’m not criticizing you at all, but why is it heartwarming when someone just does the right thing that they should do and are supposed to do? A lot of these people we saw in the upload are probably strapped for cash and living paycheck to paycheck but they make it work There’s credit cards, there’s payment plans, there’s the Humane Society and the ASPCA and the neuter scooter which also does basic vet care for less money. If someone is strapped, they can call Animal Control and find out where to find less expensive medical care. We carry computers in our pockets now, so there’s no excuse for not figuring something out

LMAO I take insulin for diabetes and my lil chi Freddy was diabetic. Well one night without my glasses went to get my vial of Insulin and grabbed the dogs (which actuall cost less than mine), shot up and then after I put my glasses on I saw it was the dogs (after that I color coded his insulin red so I would not mistake it again). I called the dr and explained what I did and all.

Great story 😆 Fun fact, dogs don't perceive spiciness like we do. They have way less "spicy" receptors in their mouth. Most won't even notice it until they've had way too much. Some won't notice it at all, until it hits their digestive system and causes pain there.

I'd read somewhere that dogs won't eat spicy food. I guess that isn't entirely true.

@@charlesajones77 Labradors are a special kind of 'inhale without thought' and my aunt's dog was no exception.

Yep, that would make more sense.

That's what I thought too. There's a reason the dog hates those kids. I hope the owner finds out why.

Yup, I’d say so too

Why any dog wanting to escape my youngest nephew is welcome in my room I can't stand him either and he knows better then to come in I never shut bedroom doors because of circulation and it gets to cold or hot for my comfort if he tries to come in and doesn't listen I go get another adult I tend to be a little to rough when I'm mad and he bothers me quite easily why I don't want kids some are so annoying I just can't I be afraid I would be one of those abusive mothers 11 weeks with my nephew was to darn long and nobody listened when I said I can't handle him they used the BS my sister can't drive and her husband was dying or she needed to be with him instead SHE LITERALLY IGNORED HER SON WHICH SHES A BAD MOTHER ANYWAYS ALWAYS GOING ON VACATION WITH HUSBAND AND DUMPING HIM ON US BACK WHEN MOM WAS ALIVE FOR 2 WEEKS but the BS we're family 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 she didn't even come home once her stupid husband was getting better where she didn't need to be there 24/7 if I drove I would have dumped the brat on them and told her to actually raise him in the end aunt had to take him during the afternoons days he was off or sick as I couldn't handle it my hatred of kids was showing more and more especially at 8 years old the kid wasn't house broken it finally took me and brother threatening to go buy diapers to house break him literally at that age it wasn't potty training it was just ignorant parents who didn't know how to do anything 🙄🙄🙄 if you weren't on him to go to the bathroom he would go in his britches after the 20 clean up is when we finally got to him he goes to the bathroom a few years later without someone telling him

sounds about right. throwing up is a treat for dogs. warmed up left overs. yummy lol

Yikes, 8 seems old to be doing something like that.

you just had me in fits of 😂 with your story

fucking chihuahuas

my chi got bit by a horse fly when she was a pup, the sight and sound of any fly after that would have her shivering and hiding for hours till I bought her a foldable net dog carrier. I put it upside down so the door hung over the entrance and she could come and go as she pleased. She figured out fast what it was for and used it often.

I am amazed. I thought it was only my scaredy dog who ran for cover behind the sofa any time she heard a buzz. Indeed she had a bee sting as a puppy and 9 years later she still remembers as summer comes round 😂😂

That's it. Next dog I get is going to be a Titchywawa. I want to be entertained.

I worry about someone taking care of an animal, when they assume that the animal Hass to be female to have nipples. I worry about them having a cat when they don’t know cats go into heat… Like don’t most people research before adopting? Or at least understand that male creatures can have nipples?

@@spiralrose thing is, I rather have somebody come (even if they wake me up in the middle of the night) and it turns out to be nothing, then somebody not come because they think its nothing and then the animal ends up dying from something we could have treated if found early (kidney failure in boy cats after not being able to pee is the most common). And the happens unfortunately too much. I rather have somebody come in for nothing than risking their pets life because they come too late. These are the real bad owners.

@@spiralrose Not realizing your cat is in heat is ridiculous. My aunt was too lazy to get her female cat fixed, and when she was in heat it was REALLY OBVIOUS what she wanted.

@@stephg2867 Yes! I would never criticize someone for taking their pet to the vet because they're worried about it's health. I would rather have owners who are not knowledgeable but love their pets & do their best to take good care of them, than owners who neglect their pets.

My concern is that the one person said "embedded tick" as in likely tried to remove it to the point of thinking it was really in there

Same.

Have a cat that's the same way. He hates human food but will look in the refrigerator anyway during lunchtime because that's what his humans are doing.

@@101jir - LOL.

Our parrot perfectly imitates coughing. But parrots don’t cough when they are sick. He’s just sympathy coughing. He doesn’t do it unless one of us is sick.

My childhood dog had a bad habit of eating sewing needles. One time my dad was petting her and pricked his finger on a needle that emerged through her neck! Another time she kept coughing and wheezing. Mom took her to the vet, who found a threaded needle embedded in the roof of her mouth. She had swallowed the thread, but since it was still attached to the needle, it was hung up in the back of her throat! That was an expensive visit.

To be able to say you have witnessed a $350 fart must be a Bucket List thing surely : )

wow what a relief......its hilarious now that you know he's okay!! hahahaha

I'm happy you called the vet though, gas colic can be deadly in severe cases. I know of a stud who died of it, his owners had left him to graze in their orchard and he'd eaten his fill on apples. They started to ferment in his gut, killing him

I don't want to know how that fart smelled tho...o_o Oh dear. Glad he is ok tho!

Two weeks ago I was just moments away from making a vet call for my 22 year old mare. Just then she pawed, dropped and rolled, went from the ground to a big, noisy, farty buck in one leap, and then came over to me and “requested” for me to open the gate and let her in for feeding time. At least that fart only cost worry, not $$$

Bed Side Manner?

Grain free food helps keep the weight down. They get full faster, and don't eat as much. In the wild they don't eat corn or wheat. Best brand I found that my cat likes is Crave, or Purina True Instincts Grain Free. It's about $ 18 for a 6 pound bag, but it's worth it. Otherwise read the label, if the first 3 ingredients contain corn, or other grains, it's not a good food.

That's funny😁aaah sweet pupper you have.

@@donnawatkins8404 not when i picked up her paw to remove what i believed was another pebble🤣🤣🤣

You never saw them together? Superman and Clark Kent.

I have a cat, and we one time we couldn’t find him. We had just gotten him from another family. Anyways I’m looking and looking and I find him outside. And he’s really skittish, but we had only had him a short time. I bring him up to the door and said “Sis I found him”. Funny thing is she said the same thing too. And there we were holding two identical cats. So I put the stranger kitty down and he just ran off. Happy as a clam, he did not appreciate me holding him! 😂 I never did see him again. 😆

Atleast you didn't have to spend money to find that out. Also I gotta admit, your cat was pretty darn smart to figure out how to feed himself an his brother on another person's dime.

Did you find the sibling?

Sounds like my niece. She'd be *hell* to deal with after vacations when she was a toddler. *Especially* vacations to see her grandparents.

We have a GS too. Yes 😂

When my brother's dog was a puppy he went to a caravan park and when it was time to pack up and go home he took a wee on the carpet out of protest my mum lucky enough had brought cleaning products incase this happened and that was the only time it did as he didn't want to go back home

Hell i'm cranky when a holiday ends too. So i don't blame any dog for same. lol.

That one sounds like B.S. My childhood cat got into a fight once and was acting "depressed" afterwards. ...because she had a great big abscess on her back from being bitten badly by the other cat. What kind of vet seriously suggests an animal is "depressed he lost" a fight? Animals don't think the way humans do.

@@zammmerjammer I take it you are not a Veterinarian or an Animal Health Technologist. Read your own dog or cats body language.

@@zammmerjammer Cats and dogs absolutely get depressed, especially when it comes to social relationships. They also often take joy in personal accomplishments, and can feel sad or even depressed when they fail at something. Being beaten and dominated by a rival often hurts their self confidence and general mood. They're not as complex and subtle as human beings, but all mammals share similar mental processes. That's partly why they come across as either very dramatic or very stoic

@@zammmerjammer interestingly, lobsters have a saratonin system that reacts in that exact way, "I lost a fight, so I am now depressed", humans have a very similar system as well so a cat likely has the same systems. if you search for "Lessons from Lobsters | Jordan Peterson" from a channel called "WordToTheWise" you will get a 5min clip of a clinical psychologist and collage professor (two of the same guy's titles in case that's not clear) speaking on the topic. your cat sounds like a different situation where it actually needed some medical attention.

❤

Awwww

Lol say you don't want to be here without saying you don't want to be here ...

maybe you could arrange play dates with the cat. pick him up for the day and bring him home after a few hours so he knows you still love him.

Yeah, it can be hard to discern when its a matter of life or death.

Exactly, this is one medical debt that I won’t complain about because knowing my baby is healthy is everything.

@@spiralrose It is both heart warming and worrying that people are more willing to bring their pets to a vet than themselves to a doctor. But nothing you can do about the prices in USA. 😂

My hats off to vets, unless they are Dr. Doolittle, trying to diagnose an illness/condition on an animal is amazing. At least a human Doc. can "usually" asks "what seems to be the problem and get a response. lol.

@@spugelo359 in the US: Taking the dog to the vet for an infected toenail - vet checking the animal over, dressing the foot in a bandage, providing spare bandage and an antibiotic ointment = $300 Taking a human to a dr for an infected toenail - dr asking what’s wrong, giving antibiotics without actually looking at the foot, purchase of said antibiotics = $2000 copayment after insurance 🤔 I have some friends who have farms in the US that will have minor issues (in humans) looked at by their vet because it’s so much cheaper (plus some meds can be prescribed to animals easier than to humans).

Exactly! And some people honestly have no clue that male animals have nipples just the same as human males do because nobody told them and they never really had experience with animals.

Exactly

Having a REALLY hard time seeing anyone calling these people "bad owners".........maybe not the sharpest tacks in the box......but virtually nothing about bad owners. For instance the tick/nipple thing.....men have nipples, why wouldn't dogs? And how'd those ticks line themselves up so symmetrically?

and cat or a dog cannot tell you they ate something they should not, you may suspect it if they show guilty behavior but even then it's a guess if it will pass through

@@cliftonmcnalley8469 it's not that they're bad owners it's that they're putting fear and worry above common sense but at least they admitted they learned even though it was the hard way!

I'm a bit skeptical of the "faking an injury for attention" explanation. Seems like anthropomorphizing animal behaviour to me. That's like saying an animal is pooping/peeing where they shouldn't or being destructive because they're "mad at you." Animals don't think this way. An animal engaging in dysfunctional behaviour is doing it because they're either sick or stressed, not because they're vindictive or "grumpy."

​​@@zammmerjammer Pretty sure anger is a normal emotion for many animals, especially mammals. The ability to remember when an individual has hurt you is important, and social animals often get aggressive or show other cues to maintain the hierarchy. I think you may be actally under-anthropomorphising, thinking a behavior is exclusive to humans that really isn't. And faking an injury is simple pavlovian conditioning. They do something, get a reward, repeat for further reward, whether that's treats or grooming or something else.

These pets are more emotionally mature than some people😆😆

What food did you feed him, if you don’t mind sharing?

@@BhappyD I don't remember the brand name, sorry. It was one of the normal name brands. He also ate food from my plate and got milk chocolate a few times a week. ( 3 Musketeers was his favorite ) He got husky a few times and I had to cut back but I made all the people food and treats small as to not make him fat over it. Except for chocolate, all of our dogs have lived that way and all lived from 14-17 years. ( medium and large breeds ) Around age 15 or so he also got a few scoops of soft cat food from a can added to his hard food because he really liked it. Oh , him and my sisters dogs ( when they visited ) also got canned whipped cream in a pile on a plate. All 3 dogs would lick the plate super clean then check out the other dogs plate to see if they left any. ( they never did :) They all loved it and would whine when I brought out the can from the frig. So probably all the wrong things but he hung around for 17 years anyway.

@@batsonelectronics I had a black lab too! Back in the 80's, before home computers, cell phones, etc, so we had no clue that chocolate was bad for dogs. I used to share milk-dipped oreo cookies with her, and when her skin got dry I'd pour bacon grease on her kibble. She loved it all. She was always healthy and died of old age. She was the best dog. I still miss her all these years later.

@@JamieM470 dark chocolate is toxic but milk chocolate is not in small amounts. This assumes the dog is not allergic to chocolate as many can be. I had family who was a vet and he advised on quantity and testing with tiny amount to make sure not allergic. All of our dogs have had chocolate in their lives but mine got it way more often. Mine didn't get dry skin but he did lose his hair at around age 15 or so, just had the undercoat in many places. His face got very white/grey as well and his seeing was bad as was his hearing. His nose still worked thou as he always showed up when food was being made :) At the end when he didn't come running in for food, that is when I knew his time was close. He was my hairy 4 legged son, my chocolate on the inside lab. Life stinks without him.

Niles was, I guess, people would say Dramatic for the first year of his life. He was a street dog we adopted, and, he was fine for the next 9 years. He just had to learn to trust us.

You aren't kidding, especially if you have to run them to an after hours emergency vet hospital. Our male cat had a blockage, cost us $2000. Changed his diet, problem solved.

@@donnawatkins8404 wow, I took my cat to the after hours / emergency vet last week with a troubled mouth, drooling heavily unable to close it. One of his upper molars had collapsed inward, which he found after careful inspection what the issue was (it took a short time), the vet took a set of pliers and pulled it out. I was in maybe 15 minutes and paid €75, which included his pain meds and antibiotics. And I thought that was steep. We lost his sister end of June last year, and all of her visits and operation, including 2 nights stay, was about € 1800.

Oh yes they are. One of my cats cost us $10,000 at the vet. He had bladder stones that needed to be removed, that was $6,000. 2 years later he developed pancreatitis, that one came to $4,000.

Adopt a healthy one from the shelter. They're mostly low maintenance. I rarely had to take my cats to the vet. Also keeping them inside keeps them healthier.

Pet insurance is a lifesaver. I know some people think it's a scam... but they only say that as long as they have healthy pets. I have 4 cats. Three of them are making the insurance company their money -- never been seriously ill in a decade. My 4th cat is taking the company to the cleaners -- urinary problems since she was like 2 years old, which is really rare for a female cat. Pet insurance pays for 50% of her special prescription food and every time she has an emergency (which is easily like 2k each time) they pony up like 80% of the cost. I absolutely could not have afforded to keep her without pet insurance to fall back on.

"immune to her BS".. still laughing :-D

The best way to change type of food is to mix the old with the new,and make the prosess slowly. Its not just about a dog making a fuzz, but also to let the system be used to another type. It was my vetenerian that was critical to me changing the dogs food,from one type ,and when empty, a totally different one. He told me its not about the dog being spoiled, its so much more . He was right also,because my dog got so much better (the dog had sometimes a loose stomach). The vetenerian told me that dog couldnt tell us that their tummy hurt,but that was what normally happened to them, when suddenly change food. In the end they would eat it anyway,just as we human would do,when hungry enough, even when they got belly cramps. It made me so sad , i didnt think so far,i just assumed the dog was spoild...But then again,the dog food isnt THAT luxurious,soooo, maybe not that spoild after all... Now i always make sure i mix, and have two or three types to mix in ,just for a change in taste, but alwaus some of the same types,so the dog get used to the the food. The vetenerian really had me thinking a lot. (Sorry abot my broken english)

A) Please try to help your pet lose weight, obesity is a killer. B) Try putting some canned food in a slow feeding bowl (subtract from daily ration) and try using that as a distraction while you groom. If all else fails cat groomers do exist. Good luck.

@@imzadi83fanvids7 The reason he got fat was because we went away on vacation and my aunt fed the cats while we were away. The thing is, she could only come once a day so she left them food for the entire day. We were gone for a week. My other two cats must know how to space it out because they weren't nearly as fat as Grayson (the cat mentioned before) had gotten. We went back right away to giving them increments of the amount my aunt gave them until we got to their normal amount. Luckily, it must have helped because after awhile we noticed him not looking any different, so we soaked him (very difficult because of the whole skittish thing) and found out that he had lost weight, but he just had so much fur that it didn't look like he did. When I say we used that pet brush, I mean it. We got half of his fur out with that thing. Half of the fur was just sitting there, which made us realize he hadn't gone back to grooming himself. He does it now after we used the brush. We haven't used it since. He's ok now, don't worry! :)
