I came home from work and went out the back to let the dogs in. One was fine and ran up the stairs, the other couldn't walk up the stairs and was wobbly on her legs. I brought her in, which wasn't easy as she was a bull terrier and weighed a ton. She wouldn't stand up, and her eyes were bloodshot and half closed, though she was happy, not distressed in any way. I rushed her to the vet, and all she could find was that her belly sounded a bit slushy. She said she had eaten something, but there was no food left out for them to eat so I couldn't imagine what it was. Then I remembered the plum tree, but plums wouldn't do this surely. Wrong! She'd eaten fermented plums off the ground, and she was drunk as a sailor. The vet thought it was hysterical.
😹
Had 3 apple trees in my garden when I was a kid ... some people think why dont we have fruit trees on public paths ...
If only they knew how much youd have to clean and how many wasps would come .... did see a drunk magpie xD hit my dad trying to fly off so we looked after it a bit till it was better

Oh no lol. I have seen a video of a squirrel having the same thing happen to it due to a fermented pumpkin, I believe. SO funny! Poor things. :D
oh shit hahaha
In defense of the pets with gas, being full of gas can HURT! I don't blame them for acting weird. I've definitely had moments where I thought I was dying only to toot later lmao.
I went to the hospital once for really bad belly pain and it was just gas
I trained by body though disciplined neglect and studious lack of self-awareness, to just let em rip whenever.
@@AlexanderTheGoodEnough me too, I have actually startled people that way before
Out of all the comments, this is the most popular. How many people are saying "I Can Relate!".
I know, sometimes I have had pains I thought were just gas but no, they were actual stomachaches and crap
Moral of the story: cats don’t like change and dogs are dramatic
That's so true, you nailed it. I have both cats and dogs and that is what I see😁.
Very true. And revenge peeing/pooping is definitely a thing for cats. If I piss my cat off enough, she doesn't cover her poo.
@@lanieharmon1345 At least they do not do it in your bed, usually... 😂
Dogs are dramatic .... I think hiskys win the award for that though
@Lanie Harmon my one cat fluffy (not even my cqt at this point more of my cats cat) pisses everywhere to the point my parents lock him in the batgroom because i ront want to get rid of him
My aunt rushed her lab to the vet once as he screamed in pain, thinking he'd been hit by a car or something. Few hundred dollars later vet couldn't find anything wrong. Uncle comes home from work and says, "You idiot dog ate three of our habanero peppers." Big peppers, too, and no he evidently did not register that they were hot until he'd eaten three.
Hilarious 😁😆
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.
I’ve had huskies and malamutes that will inhale jalapeño and habanero pepper pieces that fall to floor when I’m chopping, without batting an eye…only to be subjected to not so silent and very deadly farts later
I recall reading about someone saying their dog was acting strangely and they phoned the vet. While on the call, the vet asked them to put their head on the dogs' stomach in case they could hear any strange noises. It was then that the dog let out an incredibly noxious fart...
Owner - gagging
Vet - laughing uncontrollably
Dog - relieved and confused
😂😂😂😂
Okay, seriously, I am laughing so hard at this that I farted! 😂😂😂😂
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.
He was very serious asked me a ton of ? and said
Did I feel the urge to scratch myself, no
how about scratching behind your ear no
urge to lick your nutz
no
said are you sure
I said yeah no urge to lick my nutz,
then LOL
@@tambrosiaWhat?
That made me ĺaugh
In my first job after graduating, I shared a house with a young veterinarian, who also had started her first job. This was in a small town on the edge of a large recreation area; lots of lakes and forest. One Saturday night, around midnight, the phone rings. I hear her answer it (I’m not surprised. She had told me she was “on call”) and a few minutes later she leaves the house and drives off. The next day she tells me the story.
A family (including kids and dog) from the “big city” had arrived at their vacation rental late Friday, and all day Saturday the whole family had lots of fun on the lake and beach. That evening, the dog started showing discomfort, and by midnight he couldn’t stand or even move his backend. Fearing the worst, the vet did a thorough exam including asking questions of the family. “How much exercise does the dog usually get? What did he do all day before he became uncomfortable?”
The diagnosis? Badly sprained tail.
He had never wagged his tail so much, so hard, or for so long as he did that day at the lake.
That's really wholesome but I feel bad that he was in discomfort
awwww poor happy puppy tail.
🥺🥹😍
Hearing about dogs having sprained tails is so sweet and sad cuz poor lil baby just had the happiest day of their life and their tail couldn’t keep up!
I had a black cat. I spent $400+ to find out he was lonely and wanted a pet. I got him a kitten.....and he adored her. A few years later, I adopted two strays, brothers. Black cat stopped eating and drinking and I thought he was dying. Took him to the vet and $600+ later he starts yowling at the vet......apparently complaining about me adopting the two strays. I spent over $1k because my cat had mental health issues.....
you just had me in fits of 😂 with your story
That dog coughing to fit in is such a cute story really wanted to be a part of a pack. Super cute
Both of the dogs I've had make fake sneezes because I always say, "Bless you!" LOL!
Have you seen the dog that won't eat without praying? Look it up it is adorable then teach your dogs to pray they gotta do something with those blessings
I am a Vet and had a lot of these in my Clinic as well, concerned owner about ticks in the dogs skin that turned out to be nipples (but he is a boy! was the Owners reaction), Owner came as emergency because he thought his 7 months old female cat was dying (she was in heat), midnight call for emergency because the dog had a "Weird" seizure ( he was dreaming) and lots more. Never boring working with animals 😊😊😊
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
That dog that kept vomiting because he didn't like his owner's nephews and/or nieces probably wasn't showing disgust. It was probably induced by stress, which might be a result of how the kids played with him or acted around him. This is just a guess, though.
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
My husband found that our male cat stomach doesn't feel right, he decided there's tumor, and took the cat to the vet. The vet examined the cat... she said 'your cat is just fat'
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.
Thought you were going to say, “He is pregnant…”
When I was a kid the family basset hound swallowed a sewing needle. Thousands of dollars of X-rays watching it slowly pass through his system without puncturing anything. Some kind of miracle honestly
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.
I took my little chihuahua to the Vet because she was hiding behind the bathroom door shaking uncontrollably. I thought she was in pain. Come to find out she was terribly afraid of a house fly.
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.
My co-worker got a rescue cat for her son for his 8th birthday. All went well for a few days then the cat stopped using the litter box and was instead emptying herself all over the house. $175 in vet bills for tests and so on and the cat got a clean bill of health but continued her behavior. Then one day my co-worker was walking past the bathroom to find her son peeing in the litter box. Evidently Kitty didn't want to share!
Yeah cats tend not to want to share very few do
Have the boy fixed?
@@shotforshot5983😂😂
Yikes, 8 seems old to be doing something like that.
Had 5 horses and those for decades. Big Quarter Horse named Crazy (sweet boy) was laying on the ground, pawing and groaning--obviously an emergency case of colic. Whole family fought to get him upright and his head was hanging but we got the vet called and waited. We were walking him around in the dark, freezing cold night, hoping he made it. The vet came out and checked him. Said his gut sounded good, heart rate was up only a little and it could be gas. The tail then went up and the loudest, longest fart came out....it was a $350 fart. He farted a few more times and then went back to his feed before the ink on the check was dry. It was the most dramatic thing I'd ever seen and I've seen many horses with colic.
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 $$$
I once had a cat that I named Greystoke. He was a British shorthair. And I was confused as to why some days he would be friendly and affectionate and other days cold and distant.
Then he had a limp but then
no limp at all. It took me (genius that I am) several months before I found out he had a Twin brother! 🤦 😂
p.s. Greystoke just showed up one day and moved himself into my house, in case anyone was wondering why I didn't know about his sibling. ☺️
You are a good person. Pet the twin too!
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?
It always warms my heart to see that so many people are willing to take their pets to the vet when they seem off.
sooo many dont tho, i could never let my fur baby go hurt or sick when i can pay to fix it. that is when i have a pet. but yea
Much better than to not take them when they *are* sick!
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
I had a German Shepherd that always went on vacation with us. She hated coming home from vacation too. She'd be cranky for about 3 days after returning home.
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.
Oh, we have done this. We spent 3 hours waiting in an emergency vet clinic to find out that he was literally full of 💩. Which he dumped right outside the vet's door. He was much better afterwards. We were much poorer. But would do it again, as we did have a dog eat a tennis ball which required surgery. Part of the price of having unconditional love.
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).
We coughed, the doggo coughed. That one just got me 😂 What a fun video 🥰
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.
@@101jir 😄
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.
One time my dog stepped into a tiny rock that got stuck in her pads,she came to me with her paw up and with the saddest face,i removed it and she was off again..couple of days later she came to me holding her paw up and again with the saddest expression she i looked,she had stepped into a pile of💩..
That's funny😁aaah sweet pupper you have.
@@donnawatkins8404 not when i picked up her paw to remove what i believed was another pebble🤣🤣🤣
Laughing out loud, tears too.
I was walking a Treeing Walker Coonhound when I noticed that she didn't put her paw down all the way. It turned out that she had a thorn inside her pad! Took it out and she was good to go.
"He looks like he got into a fight and he's depressed he lost, his vitals are fine." The wife and me.
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.
I spent almost 900 to learn my dog is a gifted actor. After 3 visits for a variety of mystery ailments after he fell off a decorative retaining wall in our Japanese garden, I was getting really worried. First the limp developed, then he refused to eat and eventually it was refusing to drink. His limp started switching sides, we had to feed him jar baby food after surgery and he didn’t want dry dog food and he was drinking water from my large fountain so I would think he wasn’t drinking anything (he would dramatically flop down in front of his water bowl). The vet officially diagnosed him as being a drama queen with enabling subjects😂😂😂
One of my dogs got his paw stepped on while I was out with him riding my horse. I was really worried and fussed over him for several days. A week later and he was still limping and I was starting to get worried when some friends pulled up to the house while I was inside and he ran out to meet them, no limp. I went out the door to greet them and he immediately started limping again. Clever guy-
The dog that coughed to fit in killed me 😂😂😂😂
I came home at 17h00 one afternoon in 2008 and found my female 1 year old Spaniel Lassie standing in the driveway with a fixed 1000 yard stare, white drooling that extended from both sides of her mouth down to the ground, not reacting to my voice or touch and looking generally quite a sorry sight. Panicked, I rushed her to the vet only to find that she had caught some kind of a frog, and became drugged by some secretion of the frog's skin. She were on a trip until about 2 hours later. The vet laughed his ass off while he billed me the equivalent of only USD40, he must have felt sorry for me. My Lassie died on 13 July 2019, a sad Saturday morning. I miss her too much.
❤
Some of y'all are thinking too much into this. These owners (mostly) thought something wasn't right and acted on it only to find out nothing was wrong. How are they bad owners? If a woman thinks her kid is sick and takes them to the doctor, only to find out the kid was faking it, does that make her a bad parent?
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 had a pug many years ago who came down with a cold.
Pugs with colds can be gross due to really runny noses and sneezes but I loved him, so I showered him with love and cuddles.
He kept coughing and sneezing for weeks after the cold was gone.
Vet said he was fine and doing it to keep me cuddling him…. XD
RIP Bu. 🖤
My aunt couldn’t figure out why her cat, Murph, sat staring at the wall, 4” away, in the middle of the hallway. The vet asked if there had been recent trauma. She had recently been on a trip, and Murph stayed with me. Turns out that he was waiting for me to come and take him… the front door at my place is approximately the same spot he was staring at.
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.
Well I have a lab mixed dog. One afternoon after coming home from work I found out that he ate my tv remote control and the batteries were missing. I panicked and brought him to the vet. They did their exam and X-rays. The doctor Came to the room where I was and told me there is good news and bad news. Good news no batteries shown on the X-rays, I was relieved. The bad news, I thought my baby has a serious illness or something, but the doctor said are you missing a pair of earrings? He showed me the X-rays and there it was my pearl earrings that belonged to my grandmother that my mom gave me. Yup the doctor gave him something to make him poop and yes I waited for to do so and picked my earrings out of it. I have not worn those earrings again up to now.😅🙃
About the bunny one:
Bunnies are vey sensitive to change. One time we weren’t able to order our usual hay and had to get some from a regular store. Our bunnies refused to eat it for a a few days until they realised they weren’t getting their usual hay and just dealt with it. They are also very punctual about when they get their breakfast and get mad if I’m late. They like routine.
My granddaughter and her dad took the cat to the vet to be told what I could have told her -- as soon as she started describing the symptoms I said, "How did the cat manage to get stoned?" He had evidently mistaken MJ for catnip and chowed down.
Oh dear...that cat was 420 Blazin' It for sure...Bet he had a great night lol.
After my husband and I had our first kid, our oldest dog started limping around the house. When we would pet him he’d yelp like he was in pain so we immediately took him to the vet and paid a lot of $$ just for the vet to tell us our dog was butt hurt about the baby and he’d get over. He got over it once he realized he was gonna get all the good snacks from her. Now we have more kids and another dog and our oldest good boy could care less about us 😆
My new cat who I had just rescued from outside started getting ear infections, one of which spread to her eye. I totally freaked out wondering what I was doing wrong, rushed her to the vet each time it happened. Took her to a new vet and they put her on an allergen-free diet, turns out my rough and tumble street cat who ate trash for the first 6 months of her life is allergic to gluten. Apparently allergies can weaken their immune system and cause infections.
That sounds pretty serious, honestly
@@zazi5305 it kind of was, but I honestly thought she had some kind of hereditary autoimmune issue so finding out it was a simple gluten allergy felt ridiculous at the time
My cat would howl loudly when he pooped for the first few months I had him. I’m so glad he outgrew that habit 😆
2:21 A similar thing happened when I was a kid and we spent the summer at a lake cottage about 7 miles from home. When we came home on Labor Day, the cat promptly disappeared. We found her a few days later at the lake.
My cat Barney, two years old, was acting like he didn't want to eat. From experience I know a cat not eating could mean they are very sick. So I took Barney to the vet. He had acted all worn out. He wasn't his usual bad ass and energetic self. I spent over $300 to find out that Barney was OK/FINE. I think he had an encounter with another cat and he had been humbled or brought down a few pegs. He was upset and not eating. He was NOT sick. And I even took off work for an afternoon too.
The horse afraid of the ground has a point,if one falls from a great height it’s the ground that kills you.
Pets can be very dramatic! But I love the fact that these people took them to the vet! ♥️
My girlfriend paid $1200 to be told, “your cat is throwing up because he’s suffering from COVID stress. People being locked down and being home with their pets is different and stressful for the cat.” Problem was neither of our jobs shut down, and neither of us were home with the cat.
So what did it turn out to be?
Was the cat ok?
Wow, except for a couple ear infections as an adult , him eating the cables on several keyboards I had in the corner as a puppy, and problems with unfixable severe arthritis of the spine ( reason I had to put him down ) my black lab lived to 17 years old and had NONE of the drama these animals did. I don't think Shadow cost me more than maybe $500-$1000 in healthcare his entire 17 year life. Now food , treats , and toys were a completely different story. I spent many thousands on all that, but he was more than worth it. I miss my boy still and he has been gone since 2010.
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.
As a dog AND cat owner, this was HILARIOUS. I had a very, very good laugh and I've always asked myself if some dogs were bulldogs. Because I have one and I could totally imagine him to do stuff like limping just for fun 😂
I was with my child on the beach, eating chips and fish and we were surrounded by around 5 seagulls. There was a sign which read, Please do not feed seagulls. We were eating our food, the seagulls were watching us patiently and we ignored them. Suddenly a limping young ! one with a broken wing came slowly towards us, screaming from time to time. Of course I felt sorry, and we shared with the poor animal as suddenly, he regained his full health again, flew of with several chips and the rest was wolved down by his family. Lesson learned ...I felt "robbed" :)
I noticed a little lump on the right side of my cat's back when she was just 10 weeks old, took her to the vet right on the next day only to find out the lump was one of her kidneys and my kitten was fine, just a little skinny.
I'm really lucky that in Brazil doctors and vets are usually friendly enough to give you their phone nr. I always whatsapp my vet when I'm worried and she makes the call whether I should go there or not. She even prescribes minor things over whatsapp. I've lived in 9 countries so far (Europe/Japan/US) but here in Brazil is where I feel doctors and vet are the most attentive. My dog has a GP vet, a dentist, and an ophthalmologist (he had a few health issues). He also does echo, and full checkup ultrasound every year (like us, humans with an insurance in Brazil). I'm just a middle class person. I'm not rich. And the service is excellent. I'd be terriefied to have a pet abroad because I'm so used to what I have here... Part of my family is American, and when I used to live there I had an insurance. But I dare say my dog has better health care coverage...
I had a dog that used to fake a hurt paw constantly for attention. My family thought I was a monster for ignoring her. They never spoke of it again to me after about 1k in vet visits.
"Twisted Paw Routine". The cure is a Peanut Butter Bone.
I’m feeling incredibly blessed that my Vet is my friend. 🙏🏼♥️🐈🐈⬛
Can't tell me ticks don't burrow.
My son was constantly running around in the woods. He wanted me to look at a weird bump on the back of his neck, up under his hair.
It was a tick, with all eight legs burrowed into his skin, head attached - we had to slide a knife under the back of the tick and pry it out - left 9 wounds - one for the mouth and eight tiny ones for its legs
Creepiest thing I ever saw.
That's not burrowing. That's holding on for dear life.
You should use tweezers and catch it's head. Don't touch body
Thanks, I wanted a nightmare tonight.
Isn't alcohol the way to get them to 'release'?
@@alfnoakes392 hand sanitizer works too.
A cat wanted nothing to do with its family when they came home from a vacation....the neighbour who fed it had just put food out and left every day. The next year they paid me to spend 30 minutes per day in their house every day while they were on vacation....the cat loved them just fine when they came home 😊😍
I once took my dog to an emergency appointment as he was acting like himself, even when I had a guest pop over with their dogo. Paid hundreds to find out if he didn't want to go for a walk and wanted to be left alone to sleep he would, once he got older he used that trick a lot. If he didn't want to go a walk he would drag his arse up the street, I'd turn around give up and go home you best believe he skipped back. God I miss that cuddly bastard.
Jesus Christ... Medical fees are pretty huge in US for non-humans too.
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.
@@somethingoldsomethingnew2199 Wow. I'd probably say : "sorry kitty, problem solved : new cat." But i get it if you can afford it of course...
@@monsieurlouche1231 We had a long family discussion about it. He's our youngest daughter's cat and the look of absolute devastation on her face... well, that was all it took. He was young at the time too. He's 10 now and the 2 of them are still inseparable so it was worth every penny.
The winners have to be person who didn't realize dogs have nipples, and the person who didn't know what purring was.

Dogs: "I just wanted more attention"
Cats: "They were really ticking me off at the time"
Birds: "And then I just took a huge dump"
Worried I'd waited too long to take my cat to the vet, after a lump on her stomach kept growing. At the vet's he quietly examined her, then looked at me and said..."It's a fat pad."
My dog once stop eating (because she didnt like her new brand of food), swapped to senior dog food. I let her "starve" good till she ate the new food from the bowl. We know each other for +10 years and i am inmune to her BS, i can tell when she feels bad for real because she tries to hide it like her bad tooth
"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)
Was the food medically necessary for her? If it wasn’t, why force her to eat something that she doesn’t like?
Imagine having to eat food you hate for the rest of your life.
@@spiralrose she has to, she is senior dog and i can and will afford senior dog food even if it is more expensive
@@bezzerwizzer6448 yeah mixing is always a good idea, that's how I transitioned by kitten from mushy wet food to solids. He loved the little crunchy bits as long as it wasn't all crunchy.
Years ago, my family used to have a husky named Diva. She was incredibly intelligent, talkative and lived with my grandfather.
Unfortunately, after my grandfather passed away, she was left alone in his house, as we didn't have a place for the dog yet.
My family sent a person to bring her food and water daily, and we visited once a week. We fixed up things at our home to bring the dog soon one day, but unexpectedly, we found her limping and crying when we visited her.
We rushed her to the vet and he found nothing, but we took her in our home sooner than we expected for her to recover. Again, another vet visit and they found nothing.
Turns out the dog was limping so we would finally take her home, sooner than later. Smart doggo and lived up to 18 years of age! I miss you Diva
These stories are just proof that we love our pets!!!
My beagle/terrier rescue, still learning the house rules 2 weeks into adoption, ran off with and bolted down a 400g block of cheddar, including the plastic wrap. Regurgitated the plastic (with cheese still inside) the next morning. Sweetheart of a dog, lived to 15.
The depression after losing a fight is REAL though - we can always tell when our boy has lost a fight because he will sulk for 2-3 days afterwards... 🙄

@@sharonnahwegahbow5606 Urrrrgh, not gonna lie, that is a worry. Thankfully, he's a bit of a coward, so the worst he's ever had are small scratches and a very bruised ego!
Can we all agree pets can be genuinely smart
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😆😆
I haven't had a pet for several years, because I don't think I can afford the vet bills. Reading all of these prices, now I'm certain of it!
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.
@@truth4004 I usually get a cat from a friend of a friend - but would get a shelter cat if I get one. Had to have my last cat put to sleep due to heart failure, about 10 years ago. $260 to stop his suffering. Just took my Mom's in during Covid, 17 years old, cancer, $350. It's a financial commitment.
@@cliftonmcnalley8469 really, damn the vet I went charges nothing to put down pets, sadly I had to witness my old lady baby take her last breath first hand after she got flea anemia😭
@@ShutupandListen The vet that owns the clinic I go to would have probably only charged me $50, if anything, but he was mostly retired by that point. He always charged me less than he charged my Mom. The couple of times I had mom take my cat in because I needed to work, I had to pay her back double what the bill would have been. Enjoy your vet, while you can, those days are coming to an end.😪
Things included in (but not limited to) a vet's monthly expenses:
A wide range of medicines both common and rare
Testing supplies
Surgical supplies
Sanitation supplies
Other miscellaneous medical supplies
Animal food
Shipping expenses for specialized tests
Staff wages
Equipment maintenance
Clinic Electric bill
Clinic Water bill
Now ask again why some of their prices seem high.
My bulldog is the same. My sister swears my dog is deaf cause he doesn't react when you call his name. He isn't deaf. How do I know he isn't? He can hear me just fine when I say I'm going to feed him. Even from another room. He just likes to do whatever he wants and couldn't care less about what we want him to do.
Those poor animals who eat pot, I feel SO sorry for them. They have NO idea what is happening to them. It must be scary, regardless! Of their “grin”. Accidents happen, but it’s not funny. But one that IS, my daughter, who is a GROOMER, and has had 100 pets growing up, gave my other daughter a cat named Oscar. One day the recipient called me crying and hysterical. The cat was rolling around and howling. I thought the cat was poisoned, because that’s exactly what they look like when they are. Rushed him to the nearest all night vet, $$$, 20 miles away. Oscar turned out to be Oscarette, looking for a boyfriend. 🙈. I felt like SUCH an idiot. I didn’t even check, I ASSUMED my adult groomer daughter 🤦♀️….

My dog slipped and was limping heavily and looking scared. It was a weekend and the nearest vet was closed. By the time we drove the long distance to the next closest vet she was perfectly fine. She just didnt get hurt very often so got scared and over reacted. Luckily she was fine before we had to pay for the vet so all it cost us was a long drive.
I think she saw the vet's office and thought na ahh😂
Very proud responsible pet
Owners to rush them to vet.
You do care 😃
But the eaten buns/plastic/ sock really was an emergency, afterall those things can harm the stomach and cut off the bowels and if one has a furbaby, its always better safe than sorry 🤘 ( my golden once ate a sock, no visit,just came out unexpected, The pantyhoses had to get help from laxatives,but luckily came out without problems)
Not quite to the same scale as these, but my cat has a small scrape between her shoulder-blades atm. We paid £85 for antibiotic and steroid injections, but tomorrow we have to take her back for some kind of dressing because she keeps pulling the scab off and is PROUD of herself every time she does it lol. I've bought a whole bunch of medical suits for her but if they're big enough to cover it they're also big enough for her to Houdini out of them. What a dafty...proud of managing to scrape the scab off repeatedly! 😺
Vets are the most awesome alternative thinkers!!
Some vets will purposely make you go through all kids of tests when they know the cause probably isn't something serious. But I'll share my own story. When I was a kid/teen, my family had three cats. Around the same time we got the youngest one, the oldest stopped meowing. She would open her mouth to meow but nothing would come out. We took her to the vet and WITHOUT making us go through expensive tests, they told us that that's just how she was reacting to the new kitten. I guess they can temporarily lose their "voice" when they are stressed out.
I freaked out when I found that my dog had eaten aluminum foil from ground meat from the trash. Vet: Give her pepto-bismal and ice water. It worked!
I once rushed my dog to the vet because he started limping on a walk. His diagnosis: Extreme pleasure. Turns out he was just excited to go on a walk.
That was hilarious, haven't laughed so much for ages.
In all seriousness though, trapped gas REALLY hurts. The pets who just needed to fart arent necessarily being dramatic, the pain is just from a stupid cause that should've been solved by evolution but just hasnt been lol
Word has gotten around the pigeon community, that mine is a garden where they can rest safely
if they are in trouble. About a month ago, Pretty Bird arrived, with a bloodied, dislocated left wing.
I cleaned the break. It was a hopeless injury and I did not know what to do. So took her to the vet.
The vet gave me antibiotic drops and charged me 37 Euros. Said the wing could not be fixed.
Pretty Bird has learned to fly using only her shoulder muscles. She visits a few times per week.
Money well spent IMO.
Why spend close to $50.00 at the theaters when you can stay home & your furbaby can show you how great an actor/actress will perform for you.💜
6:13 is amazing. Dog was just like "the vibes are rancid".
2:14 “first time taking our dog to the vet” and “I didn’t realize that dogs had nipples” absolutely terrifies me about that dog owner.
It’s actually really common especially with male dogs/cats
@@AuthenticMage If that is true then it’s scary how stupid people are. 😰
Human males have nipples, so why wouldn't other male species (mammals) have nipples? Like dogs, cats, gorillas, bears and elephants
This is why someone came out with medical insurance for pets.
After getting a vaccination my dog collapsed on the vet floor. We took him to ER where we spent about $4500 for all kinds of stuff. He ended up having such a bad reaction his entire right side of his body changed colors to dark purples and red bruising that looked like he had bleed internally. He would have died so it was worth it. Unfortunately the side affects shortened his life span and he only lived to about 9 year of age when the breed average 14-16 years of life. Sometimes your freak out over nothimg but if you really care bout your pet it is better to be safe than sorry
I’m so sorry for your loss Quite complex. You did what a good parent would do. I hope you have many happy memories of him.
@@KSteinkruger I agree

In the 80's I paid $60 to have an egg removed from my brooding parakeet. The egg was the size of a cockatiel egg, and she was unable to pass it. And no, I didn't have cockatiels, and my hen was fine.
Hey. At least nothing was wrong. Count your blessings.
Some of the stories about
pets pretending to be sick to
get attention reminded me
of a story I read where a mother
was worried about her seven year old son's stiff leg. She took him to seven doctors but they couldn't find anything wrong.
Finally the seventh doctor asked the kid why he walked
stiff legged and he said that he was pretending to be like Chester from Gunsmoke.
I didn't find that at all funny.
That brat knew how worried his
mother was about his damn leg
and yet he wouldn't tell her he was playing at being like a character on TV? I don't know what punishment his parents
gave him (I bet they didn't find it funny either) but if a trip to the wood shed didn't happen, I'm sure no tv for several months
would've been in order. 🤨
Some people have kids that are just a bit on the drama side, my brother👑💀drama king. He was playing at a school basketball game, fell sliding across the court, told the coach he was paralyzed, couldn't move. Ambulance called, my dad going with him all worried. Got to the hospital, they did all these expensive tests and x-rays etc. The doctor looked at my brother and told him everything looks fine, my brother said okay and sat up. My dad blew a gasket🤬.
We had a dog who did Similar. We called it "The Twisted Paw Routine", and, sure enough he was fine after getting a treat.
Morkie ate two sticks of butter. $3K and several days in the ICU.

1:55 Dear person with the same name as me, one of my cats has also gotten really fat and can't reach to groom himself. We have this pet comb/brush that we used to substitute. The only problem ... we can't get near him because of his skittish nature to run away if we try and pick him up or just walk towards him "too quickly."
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. I've also seen grooming stations cats can roll on their back and use.
@@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! :)
@@novasapphire2865 Good to know! And sorry if I came off as preachy, so many people don't realize that obesity is a problem in pets.
Some cats can be difficult to groom. Mine likes it, but gets over stimulated.
@@imzadi83fanvids7 Oh no, I think it's sweet how you care about other's pets, I admire your general love for them! Yeah, some are particularly hard to groom, like Gray. I admit that I don't have a full realization of how obesity is a problem for pets, but I know enough where it's concerning, and that's why I asked for help in soaking Gray just to make sure ^w^
Quit giving your cat snacks. They don't usually over eat on their own. You're doing something wrong unless some health issue is causing it.
Cat came in with a lump on his stomach, owner's we're worried it might be a tumor. Turns out cat nipples can become inverted and fill with pus. 10 mins of Dr pimple popper and a stack of gauze later, the "tumor" was gone. My sweet vet didn't even charge for it.
The moral to the story is we should all have gone to vet school. Lol. I laughed so hard, because it's true. We worry about our fur babies. Lol. I give the owners and their sweet stories A+++.
OMG!!! You guys, these are hilarious! I really needed this today. THANK YOU! ❤😂😂😂

A minute long fart is NOT a "little poot" that is a life destroyer.
Yes. What did they eat before? One dog, my brothers, we were taking care of had Chili before we sent him home. I felt so sorry for my Brother.
@@QUICKBOOKS1 I'm guessing he snuck it somewhere. I don't even want to think of what the end result would be feeding a dog chili..
We can conclude that most of these people have no sense of observation of their animal, nor knowledge of their functioning AND have too much money to spend.
OR "some" folks don't have a sense of humor. Had my cat, Oliver, 19 years. Thought he was a mute, because he never meowed....until he was 18 years old. Shocked the heck out of the entire family. LOL
@@monie1527 😄😄😄😄
They noticed something changing about their pets' behavior and/or bodies. Sounds pretty observational of their animal to me.
Besides, what scenario would you rather be in: think your pet's really sick and find out you're wrong, or think your pet's perfectly fine and find out you're wrong?
Really? I would think rather the opposite that they noticed enough of a change in the pet's behavior to be concerned. And like a pet faking a limp is really going to be a case of lack of knowledge of how cats/dogs/other pets function. Again, rather the opposite. They know limping isn't how a pet should function.
In the case of my friend's cat, Eric, we found out last year that he cannot eat any cat food with greens in it because he gets gassy. We didn't know that was the problem but observed that he wasn't eating right. How could one tell if not by going to the vet🙄?
By the way, he only got gassy that one time and it was not a habit.
Our dog slipped out of the house, darted into the street, and got hit by a car and thrown about 20 feet. She was stunned and blood was running out of her mouth. We thought we were going to have to have her put down. I tearfully cuddled her in the back seat as my husband drove us to the vet. By the time we got there Hildy was still bleeding from the mouth but was her usual perky self. Turns out she'd just bitten her tongue. We Weird-Al'd a song in her honor, to the tune of Paul Simon's "Stranded In a Limousine."
She was a dumb individual. She liked to chew on a bone. She was a naturally brain-dead dog that can't even use a phone.
Well, she barked one night at a traffic light, and when that light turned green
She was a dumb individual barking at a limousine.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, all the traffic on the street go swerving to the left, go swerving to the right, knocking Hildy off her feet.
I said, "Mamma, oh! Pappa, oh! See what I have seen! I seen a dumb individual run down by a limousine."
Everybody came running, said, "That dog's got no brains."
Everybody was gunning, they gonna shovel up the remains.
Then "Woof woof woof woof woof woof woof" said, Hildy, lifting up her head.
You can't kill a dog that's already brain dead.

Adopted a dog on May 24th this year. Found out on May 25th that she could see and recognize other dogs on TV. On May 26th, stopped TV movie that had several dogs in it to make $329 emergency trip to vet for dog sedation, induced vomiting and retrieval of most of a fluffy toy pig that was SENT HOME from shelter with her, along with 3 of the 10 squeakers sewn into the tail section. It seems that seeing other dogs makes her anxious, and she takes it out on her toys. On May 27th, was reviewing pictures on cell phone to save or delete - came across several taken in shelter of dogs we wanted to screen for adoption. Clearly written on the plexiglass in front of her kennel was "NO SOFT TOYS". Other than this, she is a gentle, kind wonderful dog!
They smarter than we give them credit for and are evolving to become even more intelligent.
my old dog was epileptic and he would often fake seizures so we would give him pets and attention haha
5:32 I had a cat like that. In her younger years she would poo outside the litter box after having to stay at a cattery.
