Last Notes npub1hg9jnuhn3h9glnfhwycc3nw02rf7ssg4v8wy47qk8fns2ppvpdkq2c8taf Tapir Quick guys, new abomination against god just dropped :parrot_ceiling: Dog breeders are frothing at the mouth over this one - pugs are coming back in style, in the form of this new Koi Panda Pug. Koi Panda Pugs aren't technically a new pug breed (although they also aren't purebred, sooooo :akkoShrug: ). This is a color variation, like how you have your Yellow, Black, and Brown labs. They are characterized by blue eyes and a white coat with a few black splotches. Neither of these things are found in pugs, so it likely came from some of the mixes like the chi or Pekinese. I'm wondering if this isn't a form of either a high white blue (black) merle, or even a double merle (which is related to a ton of health problems). The fact that the nose is black does make me lean towards a high white blue merle with extreme spotting. https://i.poastcdn.org/0e/34/35/0e3435982ea7ae82f0657a94a86003eb07880e6551fee8a70d629d7a6c2e00a1.mp4 npub1hg9jnuhn3h9glnfhwycc3nw02rf7ssg4v8wy47qk8fns2ppvpdkq2c8taf Tapir they did this one dirty and just posted his tiny pp for everyone to see https://i.poastcdn.org/1f/63/48/1f6348e2110a32f31176376b3ca588b0ea4ccc6d0ee7812b2d1187cba73b63fa.png npub1hg9jnuhn3h9glnfhwycc3nw02rf7ssg4v8wy47qk8fns2ppvpdkq2c8taf Tapir OK yeah it's squirrel pox, it is only for squirrels, affecting other animals very rarely. If it makes you feel any better, squirrel pox is fairly self limiting and pretty recoverable without intervention. https://i.poastcdn.org/a6/50/a9/a650a9c73eb7b92c02feef5ab5f4a311441d2157b7c1fc25523b009cfba8786c.png npub1hg9jnuhn3h9glnfhwycc3nw02rf7ssg4v8wy47qk8fns2ppvpdkq2c8taf Tapir I couldn't find anything in that link, but I wonder if this is squirrel pox. That rabbit papilloma doesn't even effect all species of rabbit, I can't imagine it crosses over from lagomorph to rodent so easily. npub1hg9jnuhn3h9glnfhwycc3nw02rf7ssg4v8wy47qk8fns2ppvpdkq2c8taf Tapir No ears version I didn't do too good on https://i.poastcdn.org/09/e1/11/09e1116918eb89dd342b91a9d55a49e1d42cec8bc81b01f594495653c60797a5.jpg npub1hg9jnuhn3h9glnfhwycc3nw02rf7ssg4v8wy47qk8fns2ppvpdkq2c8taf Tapir Please elaborate lol npub1hg9jnuhn3h9glnfhwycc3nw02rf7ssg4v8wy47qk8fns2ppvpdkq2c8taf Tapir Every day I try to write a note for my s/o with their lunch, and I've been trying to put some drawing in there too but lately I've been drawing a blank on ideas Y'all got any ideas?

Pyrethrins and Pyrethroids are really toxic to cats, which can be found in natural flea/tick meds and shampoos, as well as some yard treatments. Pyrethrins are made from a plant called Chrysanthemums, and Pyrethroids are the synthetic form of Pyrethrin. Although it's not entirely understood as far as I can tell, it seems like these ingredients affect the nervous system, likely by altering nerve cell sodium channels which will lead to abnormal nerve discharge. While cats can metabolize some of this, they are unable to metabolize most of those compounds. Pyrethroids are phenol-containing compounds that require a roughly 2-step metabolic process. Cats can produce Esterases, which is phase 1 of the metabolic process. However, cats have much less Glucuronidation enzymes than other mammals, due to a reduced expression and diversity of Uridine Diphosphate Glucuronosyltransferase enzymes, which is a cascading series of events that lead to the production of Glucuronidation. The glucuronic acid attaches to drugs, in this case the Pyrethrin, to make them more water-soluble and thus easier to excrete from the body. With only the phase 1 of the metabolic process, the phase I metabolites will accumulate, which is actually more toxic. These metobolites interact with voltage-sensitive sodium channels, which fucks up the neuron firing and can cause some lovely neurological effects. Side effects include drooling, ataxia, hypo or hyper-thermia. But mainly we're looking at seizures, due to that change in neuron firing. There is no antidote, but patients are often anesthetized to control tremors. If it was a topical poisoning and it was recent, a dawn soap bath may be applied; just make sure you are fully drying them off prior to prevent hypothermia. Prognosis can range from guarded to good depending on multiple factors. https://i.poastcdn.org/9c/74/dc/9c74dcc75dc77a910f84223c5ae934dfe433442fbc125d01997a69488e4c9f50.png https://i.poastcdn.org/6d/d8/f7/6dd8f74e894ac7f350587a2cbdc33b0c2c76dcc442e28add307553ea290a5d59.png npub1hg9jnuhn3h9glnfhwycc3nw02rf7ssg4v8wy47qk8fns2ppvpdkq2c8taf Tapir Ok but what are your favorite tits? npub1hg9jnuhn3h9glnfhwycc3nw02rf7ssg4v8wy47qk8fns2ppvpdkq2c8taf Tapir The flea shot is finally coming! This is a bittersweet day, because I love to tell people who ask me for the 'flea shot' a fucking retard :pepeRetarded: like it's a damn vaccine, because there was never a 'shot' for flea prevention - it has always been some form or topical or oral. But Bravecto Quantum, a subcutaneous injection made by Merck, has been approved by the FDA for dogs and puppies 6 months and older. The injection protects against the cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis) and 4 types of tick species, which is what most flea/tick products protect against. It uses Fluralaner as the active ingredient, which is used for cats and dogs but currently the injection is only for dogs for reasons I could guess but would take a lot of time to explain. The injection would be good for 12 months. I'll wait to see the efficiency of this product and the overall cost, but even if this product isn't the cheapest or most effective, I can still see this being a good alternative for people that are forgetful, or may rarely go to the vet. https://i.poastcdn.org/e2/13/67/e21367edebc6c1314c6a3acb01ccd71b489afade5cc3a0a5b87dcc13f608ecaa.png npub1hg9jnuhn3h9glnfhwycc3nw02rf7ssg4v8wy47qk8fns2ppvpdkq2c8taf Tapir Dumb Friends League changed their name to Humane Colorado :blobreachsob: Dumb Friends League has been around since 1910, making it not only one of the oldest animal welfare organizations out there, but also one of the largest, helping animals and other shelters nationwide. Their aim is to help animals that are homeless or suffering. 'Dumb' was a common synonym for 'mute' back in the day, referring to the non-speaking pets that the organization helped. However, with America's lowering IQ, the public began to consider this offensive and calling the animals stupid. With dwindling support from the public, this 100+ year old organization decided to change it's name to Humane Colorado. Dumb Friends League has been an iconic name in animal welfare, right up there with ASPCA and HSUS. https://i.poastcdn.org/dc/7b/87/dc7b871ab6a9f211af2c64e2e90af7e1ac756266085092f4456b9813dca539ab.png npub1hg9jnuhn3h9glnfhwycc3nw02rf7ssg4v8wy47qk8fns2ppvpdkq2c8taf Tapir I wonder how he fucks. Maybe he can't fuck? Maybe he's a deercel npub1hg9jnuhn3h9glnfhwycc3nw02rf7ssg4v8wy47qk8fns2ppvpdkq2c8taf Tapir Washington Dept of Fish & Wildlife found this deer with 3 legs. Considering it lived this long, they are going to leave it as is and let nature take it's course. Kinda crazy he managed this long https://i.poastcdn.org/05/72/02/057202ac1fe26baaa1c4acf9808acb3edaa8770c0608a66c8a9251ba8268af8f.png npub1hg9jnuhn3h9glnfhwycc3nw02rf7ssg4v8wy47qk8fns2ppvpdkq2c8taf Tapir Shelter dog was picked up and brought to the vet for swollen abdomen. That opaqueness is actually a giant tumor. Biggest tumor I think I’ve ever seen in an abdomen. https://i.poastcdn.org/c9/1f/81/c91f814ab12b8d8ff429fd246a033643bc7bc26e3cbd579fc086405324d7e13e.png npub1hg9jnuhn3h9glnfhwycc3nw02rf7ssg4v8wy47qk8fns2ppvpdkq2c8taf Tapir If you're a zoomer and you want a family, just buy a surrogate and come to terms with being a single parent. npub1hg9jnuhn3h9glnfhwycc3nw02rf7ssg4v8wy47qk8fns2ppvpdkq2c8taf Tapir oh fuck ill go npub1hg9jnuhn3h9glnfhwycc3nw02rf7ssg4v8wy47qk8fns2ppvpdkq2c8taf Tapir I'll probably have to do something like that and just hope I'm not getting scammed. I got a couple UVB lights and I luckily just happened to buy a heat bulb right beforehand. But ideally you should be replacing the UVB every 6 months because it will burn out slowly over time. And unfortunately the turtle I have can live for another 20 years lol npub1hg9jnuhn3h9glnfhwycc3nw02rf7ssg4v8wy47qk8fns2ppvpdkq2c8taf Tapir Bruh I actually don't know what to do. My turtle takes a heat lamp and UVB that is now banned. I could get away with it bringing him outside for a couple hours a day to get the UVB but how the hell am I going to keep him warm and basking indoors? Should I just try to make an outdoor enclosure? Would that even be safe with hail and wind? Bans are retarded. Butt out of my animals if you don't know dick about them. npub1hg9jnuhn3h9glnfhwycc3nw02rf7ssg4v8wy47qk8fns2ppvpdkq2c8taf Tapir Holy FUUUUUUUCK us dept of energy just fucking BANNED UVB and heat lamps! What this means is that reptile owners are FUCKED. Heat lamps are required source of external heat for most reptiles. UVB is required to to keep reptiles healthy and bones growing correctly. Y'all snake owners are gonna have to bring your snakes outside for like 4-5h a day... Rip if you live where winter exists. And windows block most UV that herps need so fucked on that end. https://i.poastcdn.org/dcbf3d28466e9fd77a2b3cc207b6acdc70e5e60f589d7ea9894b43d25d979a4b.png npub1hg9jnuhn3h9glnfhwycc3nw02rf7ssg4v8wy47qk8fns2ppvpdkq2c8taf Tapir #ShelterShunday yeah that's the hashtag I'm going with Figured we'll start with LA county shelter because I just heard they are nearing 200%!!!! overpopulation The local gov tried to push for no kill way too soon. Basically, any dog that they are planning to euthanize gets 3 weeks notice, so rescues and shit can pull them. They've recently reduced it to 72h notice. I'll be honest if I ran the place, I'd hire vets and tech to euth from longest stay until I get back to 100% capacity. Regardless of how cute. 200% capacity with the same amount of space and workers is not OK. https://i.poastcdn.org/93a8f82190b0db1fe378a0f270393f5806e0ac161ab2f57db304dfe4195cc558.png https://i.poastcdn.org/eb3d42cf30968cc84c1242a5add4fd3b1ec263925612a9aa3c0b0edb2d1651dd.png https://i.poastcdn.org/c3467a26141daaa80282089d197e84aba2f2fe464d7471001f9cd5e6c7f4c9b6.png https://i.poastcdn.org/e42571607cf553b703f3d05f4b9ade04982c93b3be858c4d2f7cc80e70e13fbe.png npub1hg9jnuhn3h9glnfhwycc3nw02rf7ssg4v8wy47qk8fns2ppvpdkq2c8taf Tapir There used to be only 18 individual black-footed ferrets in the wild. A mix of a specialized breeding program and reintroduction, maintaining and restoring habitat, and even cloning one male helped get that number to over 1000 today. However captive breeding has to be really supervised, and lineages are registered. When people get their hands on shit, they enjoy breeding in mutations and inbreeding to get more of this shit that wouldn't help in the wild. First image is a wild ferret. The rest is shit we did, and why we can't just let out the PetSmart ferrets into the woods.

This is a Nelore beef cattle, a breed known for their adaptability and are very resistant to high temperatures and have natural resistance to various parasites and diseases. The breed was created in Brazil, and now 80% of their beef cattle are Nelore cattle. They originated from cattle brought from India, and the first Nelore breed registry was created in 1975. Now THIS fucker, her name is Viatina-19 FIV Mara Imóveis. She has multiple owners, like shareholders of a company. 1/3rd of her ownership was sold of for 1.4 MILLION, which has thus made her even more expensive with her worth increasing to 4.3 million. She is the most expensive cow in the world. https://i.poastcdn.org/edb08d386db8b6f29010e71a5f4fd36ad0cf1d890a2fbba0cfa234836079a3af.png npub1hg9jnuhn3h9glnfhwycc3nw02rf7ssg4v8wy47qk8fns2ppvpdkq2c8taf Tapir I am now a sad animal-related news poster, because I feel like that's all I did all day today https://i.poastcdn.org/0304d2a08db77240a366094f279934f6b618a0b3439135ae1d8894f50f76cfff.png npub1hg9jnuhn3h9glnfhwycc3nw02rf7ssg4v8wy47qk8fns2ppvpdkq2c8taf Tapir Is no one else talking about this?
