Ball Safety: When dogs pant their throats visibly expand (pictured above). Balls that normally wouldn’t be an issue can get lodged when panting. Mandana found this ball and we allowed her to play with it a little but when she started to pant harder we exchanged it for our Ruffwear Gnawt-A-Stick. There is a technique for removing balls from a dogs throat that everyone should learn but it isn’t a guarantee. This kind of accident is mostly preventable so choose your toys wisely & monitor play time ����

Preparing for Pets Health Emergencies

Preparing for pet health emergencies is an important part of being a responsible pet owner. Here are some steps you can take to be prepared:

Find a reputable veterinarian: Research and establish a relationship with a trusted veterinarian in your area. Make sure they offer emergency services or have a referral network for emergencies outside regular hours.

Know the location of emergency clinics: Identify the nearest 24-hour emergency veterinary clinics or hospitals in your vicinity. Keep their contact information easily accessible.

Create a pet emergency contact list: Compile a list of important phone numbers, including your regular veterinarian, emergency clinics, poison control hotline, and any other relevant numbers. Keep a copy in your pet's first aid kit and store it in your phone or on your refrigerator.

First Aid Tips and Preparedness Guide for Dogs

Pet insurance or savings: Consider obtaining pet insurance or setting aside an emergency fund for unexpected veterinary expenses. This can help alleviate financial stress during emergencies.

Pet first aid and CPR training: Enroll in a pet first aid and CPR course to learn basic life-saving techniques. Knowing how to administer CPR, handle injuries, and perform basic first aid can be invaluable during emergencies.

Stock a pet first aid kit: As mentioned earlier, assemble a pet first aid kit with essential supplies for treating minor injuries and emergencies. Regularly check and replenish the supplies as needed.

Pet-proof your home: Conduct a thorough pet-proofing of your home to minimize the risk of accidents and injuries. Secure hazardous items, medications, toxic plants, and chemicals out of your pet's reach.

Identification and microchipping: Ensure your pet has proper identification, such as a collar with tags containing your contact information. Consider microchipping your pet as a permanent form of identification.

Familiarize yourself with common pet hazards: Learn about common household hazards and foods that can be toxic to pets. Keep potentially harmful substances safely stored and be cautious about what your pet has access to.

Have a pet carrier or travel crate: Keep a pet carrier or travel crate easily accessible. In emergencies, it may be necessary to transport your pet safely and securely.

Create a pet emergency plan: Develop a plan for what to do in various emergency situations. Assign roles and responsibilities to family members, establish evacuation routes, and identify pet-friendly accommodations if needed.

Remember, in case of a serious or life-threatening emergency, it is crucial to seek immediate veterinary care. Your veterinarian and the professionals at emergency clinics are the best resources to handle critical situations and provide appropriate treatment for your pet.

❤️‍🩹 Don't forget to bring your Firstaid Medipack! ❤️‍🩹

Imagine if the minibots were carried around like this by their bigger cohorts. I can definitely see Rewind being a purse puppy. Swerve would certainly be a sunglasses wearing backpack beagle (should I do more?😈🙃).

The Almighty algorithm decided I needed to know about dog sling harnesses for larger dogs that may have mobility problems or for emergency situations. I just couldn't help but laugh at how reluctant some of these dog models look lol. This was also supposed to just stay a doodle too 🙄...

False Lead

(TW: Dazai cuts skin that's been infected by a poison off of Kunikida and himself. While it's not graphic, I want you guys to stay safe. Poison. Mentions of self-harm. It's Dazai from when he was a teenager, but it's just briefly mentioned.)

DAZAI AND CHUUYA, AGE 16

“You are absolute shit at that,” Chuuya says. “Give it to me.”��

Dazai sticks his tongue out and keeps gathering the things to stitch himself up. 

“Okay, fine. Don’t come crying to me when you screw it up.” Chuuya kicks his feet up and leans back. 

“You’re a dick,” Dazai says. 

“Yeah, I am,” Chuuya replies, turning his head back towards Dazai. “You gonna hand the stuff over?” 

Dazai offers the first aid kit to Chuuya and he takes it. 

“Maybe I should teach you this so you don’t come back from missions with those ugly-ass stitches you normally come back with.” 

“I don’t go on that many missions without you anymore.” 

“I know, but it’s stupid that you can’t do this with how much you hurt yourself. Or others hurt you, but that’s usually your fault as well.” 

“I don’t know what you mean.” 

“Taunting someone who could kill you with their hands tied behind their back is stupid, Shitty Dazai.” 

“Yeah, like Chibi could do better,” Dazai shoots back at him. 

Chuuya grabs Dazai’s arm and starts stitching him up. Chuuya talks Dazai through properly stitching himself up. Dazai flinches once or twice, but otherwise he doesn’t react. 

PRESENT TIME

“Kunikida, the president wants to speak to you,” Tanizaki says when Kunikida comes in. 

“Alright, thank you,” Kunikida replies, then heads to the President’s office. 

“Hello, Kunikida,” Fukuzawa says when Kunikida opens the door and walks in. 

“Mr. President, what can I do for you?” 

“I have a case for you and Dazai.” 

Fukuzawa hands Kunikida a file and Kunikida glances over the first page. 

“I’d like you to deal with this as cleanly as you can. The police have started complaining that we always leave a mess for them to clean up. Not that I agree with them, but just to be safe.” 

“I’ll make sure that Dazai behaves, sir.” 

“Thank you, you’re dismissed. Can you send Ranpo in here on your way out?” 

“Yes, sir.” 

Kunikida walks out of the President’s office. “Ranpo, he wants to see you.” 

“Oh, nice,” Ranpo says, then gets up and heads into the office. 

Kunikida finishes reading the file as he gets to his desk. He looks up and Dazai’s sitting at his desk. 

“You’re on time,” Kunikida says. 

“I’m only late fifty percent of the time,” Dazai replies. 

“That can’t be true, but we have a case. There are ability users tormenting villages outside of town. We have an idea of where the base is, so we’re going to check it out and deal with it if they’re there.” 

“Alrighty. Guess I’m not spending the morning on this paperwork.” 

They head out to the car and then start driving to the warehouse. The drive to the warehouse is quiet, Dazai seeming lost in his own thoughts and Kunikida not feeling up to a conversation with Dazai. They park and there’s no sign of anybody. 

“Maybe they’re out feeding ducks,” Dazai says. 

Kunikida slaps him upside his head, then they walk into the warehouse and it’s eerily silent. 

“Creepy,” Dazai mutters. 

Kunikida ignores the comment and keeps walking. 

“Nobody seems to be here,” Kunikida says. 

“Mhm.” 

As they get further into the warehouse, there are symbols and words painted on the walls. Most of them Kunikida doesn’t recognize or can’t understand. There are a couple he does know. Slurs for ability users and anti-ability symbols are painted in random places. Kunikida turns in just enough time to see Dazai flipping off one of the slurs painted on the wall. 

“If it’s a group of ability users, shouldn’t they not like these no-no terms?” Dazai asks. 

Kunikida nods. “I have a bad feeling about this place.” 

“Great. Since nobody’s here, can we leave? The police can do a thorough check seeing if there are any important documents or something.” 

Kunikida stops in front of the large, middle area of the warehouse. The entire room is painted in clowns and warning signs. 

“What the hell is that?” Kunikida hears a click sound. “Did you…?” 

Dazai doesn’t even let Kunikida finish the question before grabbing his arm and running back towards the exit. Kunikida runs with Dazai. 

“What is happening?” Kunikida asks. 

Before Dazai can answer, a knife shoots out of the wall and cuts Kunikida’s side. 

“Damn,” Dazai hisses. 

Dazai pushes Kunikida away from him and a knife flies past where Kunikida just was. Another knife knicks Kunikida’s arm. Kunikida turns to check on Dazai and he can see fire at the end of the hallway. Dazai grabs Kunikida and drags him out of the building. Kunikida falls and Dazai kneels down next to him. 

“Don’t fight me right now,” Dazai says. 

“I won’t.” 

Dazai checks Kunikida’s injuries, then sighs. He pulls a knife out of his pocket. 

“You’re feeling pretty numb, right?” 

Kunikida nods. 

“Hold still then. This is still gonna hurt,” Dazai says. 

Kunikida opens his mouth to respond and Dazai puts Kunikida’s belt in his mouth.

“Bite down on that and try not to squirm.” 

Kunikida bites down on the belt and Dazai cuts the skin around Kunikida’s injuries off. Kunikida bites down harder on the belt. Dazai skillfully cuts all of the infected skin away. 

“I’m sorry, Kunikida,” Dazai says. 

Kunikida feels the darkness taking over his vision and Dazai taps his face. Kunikida turns his head. 

“I need you to stay awake. I can’t risk you dying on me after I just had to do that. Hopefully the drugs will kick in soon.” 

“Drugs?” Kunikida chokes out. 

“Yeah, I gave you some after I got you out of the house. You didn’t notice?” 

Kunikida shakes his head. Dazai nods, then looks at his shirt and pants. They’re covered in Kunikida’s blood and Kunikida tries not to think about how much blood he must have lost. It takes a while for him to start feeling better. 

“Feel any better?” Dazai asks. 

Kunikida nods. 

Dazai pulls the first aid kit out of his bag and starts expertly tending to Kunikida’s wounds. 

“Where did you learn that?” Kunikida mumbles. 

“What?” Dazai asks. 

“You’re good at that. Where did you learn?” 

“I learned from a friend who used to patch me up. I wasn’t all that good at it before.” 

“Why did you say friend like that?” 

“Those drugs sure make you curious. We were friends. We haven’t been on good terms in a while. I like to think we’ll get back on good terms, but that would require work on my end and I’m afraid to reach out like that. I have a feeling he won’t want to work things out.” 

“Are you talking about that redhead from the Mafia?” 

“Chuuya or Tachihara?” 

“The one that wasn’t a Hunting Dog, so Chuuya, if I remember correctly.” 

“Very observant of you.” 

“I saw how the two of you interacted and the President mentioned how fondly Mori spoke of you working with Chuuya.” 

Dazai grips Kunikida’s arm for a moment, then it’s like it never happened. “Mori was very fond of what Chuuya could do, and he can’t do it without me.” 

“What does that mean?” 

“Nothing we should discuss. I made a promise that I intend to keep. Anyway, look at that. Both injuries tended to and you only almost bled to death.” 

“That’s not as comforting of a thought as you think it is, Dazai,” Kunikida growls. 

“Oops,” Dazai says with a shrug. 

Dazai pulls his jacket off, then starts unbuttoning his shirt. 

“What are you doing?” Kunikida asks. 

“What I just did for you. What, you thought that I somehow managed to avoid the dozen flying knives when you didn’t?” 

Dazai’s arm has a nasty cut on it. Dazai pulls the bandages off his arm and bites down on his belt. He starts cutting his own skin off and Kunikida turns away. Dazai groans several times, but that’s it. Dazai’s arm, blood dripping down it, reaches over Kunikida and grabs the bandages from the first aid kit. Dazai carefully wraps his arm up, then pulls his shirt and jacket back on. 

The sounds of an engine echo through the hills. Dazai grabs the pistol from next to him and checks the bullet count. 

“Yeah, if it’s anybody other than the Agency, we’re dead,” Dazai says. “Good a time as any to die, I guess.” 

“You were just talking about talking it out with Chuuya.” 

“Yeah, and? I’ve almost died a dozen times since I came to the conclusion that I wanted to do that.” 

“A dozen? What have you been doing?” 

“Lots of beautiful women,” Dazai answers sarcastically. 

Dazai’s attention returns to the road. An Agency car comes into view and Dazai sighs and puts the gun down. 

“Well, guess I get to live.” 

Kunikida’s vision goes dark and he passes out. 

Kunikida wakes up in the Agency’s infirmary. He sits up and his head spins. 

“Hey, take it easy,” Yosano says. “I just finished healing you not that long ago.” 

“Sorry, Akki,” Kunikida says. “What happened?” 

“What do you remember?” 

“I remember leaving the Agency on time with Dazai for once because he showed up early. I remember driving out of town to find the cause of those problems, but nothing clear after that. Fire. Dazai being far too close to my face. Sounds like an engine.” 

“Dazai wrote up a report that you should read when you’re feeling better, but he said that the place was rigged with a bunch of traps. Something set on fire, he didn’t think it was intentional. You got cut twice by a knife that had some kind of drug or poison on it. He said you were out of it within minutes of being cut. He patched you up and called for backup since the car you guys took was disabled. Tanizaki went and picked you guys up with Kenji.” 

Kunikida nods, feeling like he’s missing an important event. Kunikida’s hand subconsciously goes to his side. 

“Phantom pain?” Yosano asks. “You had a pretty nasty cut there. If I didn’t know better, I’d say that someone cut you. Not just a knife flying at you.” 

“There’s no pain. Your ability is amazing, as usual,” Kunikida answers. “Can you grab me that report?” 

Yosano nods, then heads out. Once she comes back, she hands him the report. 

“How long was I out?” 

“Three hours after you came back, so four hours total counting the car ride and making sure that you were fine before getting in the car.” 

Kunikida nods. “Why did it take that long for you to heal me if it was only recently?” 

“I wasn’t in the office and it took me that long to get back after we got word of your injury,” Yosano answers. 

Kunikida reads the report and it matches up with Yosano’s story, nothing extra that sticks out. More details, but no extra events. 

“Weird,” Kunikida mutters. “Is Dazai still here?” 

“He is. He’s currently talking to Atsushi about going to a park. Not really sure why, but he is.” 

Kunikida nods. “I’ll talk to him later.” 

After almost an hour of talking with Yosano and Ranpo when he comes in for a few minutes, Kunikida heads out to the main office. Dazai’s working on paperwork with a somewhat distant expression on his face. 

“Dazai.” 

Dazai looks up, then gives Kunikida his usual somewhat mocking smile. “Hey, Kunikida. Akki told me that you didn’t remember much of the mission, that still true?” 

“Unfortunately, yes. Did I miss anything?” 

“Other than my exceptional first aid skills, you’re not missing anything,” Dazai says. “Trust me, it wasn’t worth remembering. You’re such a bore when you’re high.” 

Kunikida sighs. “Alright.” 

It still feels like something important’s missing. Wait… 

“Did you get injured? It wasn’t in the report.” 

“Me? No. There weren’t that many knives and I got in the way of you properly dodging them. Pretty normal stuff for us.” 

Kunikida cuts his eyes at Dazai, but heads to his desk to get some work done.

[ #WeRate ] Terramycin Antibiotic Ointment: A Must-Have for Your Pet's First Aid Kit

We frequently travel with multiple pets and often find ourselves in remote areas where medical care for both humans and animals is typically at least 45 minutes away.

Televet appointments have been a tremendous help, but our Pet First Aid Kit has also been a godsend!

This post contains affiliate links, and we only recommend products we have either used, are using, or would use and share with our family and friends. Click here to read our Affiliate Disclaimer.

None of us want to see our pets injured or in pain, and the quicker we can start treatment, the less stress and discomfort our pets have to experience.

Which is why we highly recommend keeping Terramycin Antibiotic Ointment in your pet first aid kit.

This small but mighty 0.125oz tube is an essential item for treating eye infections in dogs, cats, and even larger animals like cattle, horses, and sheep.

What It Is

Terramycin is an antibiotic ointment specifically formulated for treating eye infections in a variety of animals. It’s small, easy to carry, and incredibly convenient for both at-home use and when traveling.

Whether you’re dealing with an accidental eye scratch during playtime or you notice the first signs of redness indicating an infection, this ointment is a great first line of defense.

Why We Love It

One of the best things about Terramycin is its versatility and ease of use. It’s a relief to know that if an eye issue arises, you have something on hand to begin treatment immediately. This is especially important if your pet is prone to eye infections.

While it’s important to consult your vet as soon as possible, whether through an in-person visit or a televet appointment, having Terramycin ready to go allows you to start care right away.

Terramycin is small enough to fit into any pet first aid kit, making it a breeze to take along on trips or to have on hand at home.

Things to Keep in Mind

While Terramycin is a fantastic product to have on hand, it’s important to remember that it’s not a substitute for professional veterinary care.

Always consult with your vet before starting treatment, especially if the issue persists or worsens.

To ensure the ointment remains effective, regularly check its expiration date and store it properly.

If you live in an area with extreme temperature fluctuations, like we do on the Gulf Coast, it's important to store it in a cool, temperature-controlled environment to maintain its effectiveness. The recommended storage temperature is between 68-77 degrees Fahrenheit (20-25 degrees Celsius).

In addition to this ointment, we also keep other vet-recommended essentials on hand, such as a saline eye-flushing solution and a product for dry eye relief, so we're prepared for any situation.

Would We Buy It Again?

Rating: ★★★★★

Yes! Terramycin is a valuable addition to any pet care arsenal for its affordable price and effectiveness. Knowing you have a reliable treatment option immediately available in the event of an eye infection provides peace of mind, especially when your vet might not be immediately accessible.

Terramycin Antibiotic Ointment is a small investment that can make a big difference in your pet’s health. Whether at home or on the go, it’s a must-have for any pet owner who wants to be prepared for life’s little surprises.

Disclaimer: We’re not medical professionals—just passionate pet owners sharing what works for us. Always consult your veterinarian for pet-specific issues, and if your pet experiences any adverse reactions, contact them immediately. Every pet is unique, and what works for one may not work for another. Your vet is the best source of advice tailored to your pet’s health needs.

i wish i had a dog that had like. a singular ounce of self preservation instincts.

booker went too hard playing in the pool today and not only did he quick himself on all four paws, he also tore a couple pads on one foot.

big reason to muzzle train your dog, even if said dog is not a bite risk. booker let me trim the flaps of pad that were dangling off his paw but did not want me cleaning it and once it was clean i was able to put his proper muzzle on him to keep him from licking his paw and he’s been wearing it since, passed out in my bed. the muzzle is far more comfortable for him than a cone.

No pedigree from France will get you in the dance

right on the heels of being totally wasted sick this week i just finished my Pet First Aid and CPR course passed the test with 94% (tests are not my jam) so I'm pretty pleased! Look out animals im saving your ass!

[mandana-the-service-pup]

@jimmystrudel That second picture really says "mother, I crave freedom". You're doing a good job with her.

Not as much as this pic after her surgery 😭

That first bandage did so good. She didn’t mess with it at all and it stayed really nicely. I think the second one the vet tech did came off bc she had sprayed Ease Off to get some of the adhesive out of her fur so the tape wasn’t sticking properly. I tried to recreate the original bandage. Finding & using the kinesiology tape really made the difference. Thank you!
