Last week, my unvaccinated kitty managed to get out of the house and was attacked by another stray cat. Fortunately, I heard the scuffle, separated them, and took her to the vet immediately for vaccination. On the way to the vet, she was scared and managed to scratch me a few times. A few days later, she developed an infection from a wound, so I took her back to the vet for treatment and she's doing fine now.
I was wondering if I should get a rabies vaccine since I got scratched , or am I relatively safe?
I’m trying to research a few animals that can stay incredibly still. This is for a shapeshifter who is trying not to be noticed by a creature that doesn’t have great eyesight but relies mostly on movement to see its enemies. Preferably something other than a deer or antelope, just because this character has used that trick a few times and I don’t want to be repetitive. Any animals like this that you think are cool would be awesome :) thanks guys!
MEOWWWWW
I want to know what can irritate cane toads because I have seen a few around my house I know there invasive but I don’t want to kill the toads out right I just want to irritate them and make them go away for a while does anyone know what I can use?
Cats is not a valid answer.
So I work with animals for a diploma, I was walking a goat, and it decided to speed up out of nowhere and pulled me over and I landed knee first into the floor. I am affectionately annoyed. I don’t know if a pure bred border collie is worse or if a goat is worse to walk.
Gotta wash my clothes 🫠
I apologize if this is not the right place to post, I am not experienced with Reddit. I have woods behind my house and frequently have deer, unfortunately I am also on a main road so that is not a good combination. Today while working, I saw a doe hobble and limp out of the woods. She was holding up her front right leg and struggling to stand. She kind of fell over and I saw a large wound on the middle of her back. She struggled to stand and finally was able to get up and hobble to my house and laid against it. I felt horrible for her. It was heartbreaking. I called the game commission to at least point me in the right direction. They showed up and long story short, she had to be euthanized. The officer said she was hit by a car and had a broken back. That she would not have survived due to starvation or predators. I am an extremely empathetic person, it’s a blessing and a curse. I have been so upset. I keep thinking that maybe I should have contacted a wildlife rescue instead to see if she could be saved. I don’t like to see any animal suffer or lose their life. Anyone else have experience with this? Should I have called a wildlife rescue instead?
So im sick rn and have a little suggestion. I think some animals have heeling powers and can feel sick people. I'm very ill and the dog I'm babysitting usually slept with my mom but now he doesn't leave my side all the time! Also the day I got sick I went to my friend's house and their 4 cats where all laying on me or right beside me, even though it's my first time seeing the cats. Plus the cats usually don't like strangers and hide. Also my mice don't want to go to the cage even though normally they don't really like being handled for that long. Same thing with my neighbors guineas hamster and parrots. I think they may sense illness and have healing powers as when any animal is present or next to me, I feel better. Maybe it's a coincidence but idk🤷🏼♀️
not like prehistoric times but what are the biggest crocs ever that are still around or could be around today like was it 20ft? 23? 25?
