Tips for Preparing Your Pet for Veterinary Surgery

Preparing your pet for surgery can be a daunting experience, but with the right approach, you can ensure the process is as smooth and stress-free as possible. Whether your pet is undergoing a routine procedure or a more complex operation, understanding the steps involved and taking proactive measures will make a significant difference in their overall experience and recovery. In this blog, we’ll provide you with essential tips for veterinary surgery for your pet, focusing on how to collaborate effectively with your veterinary team and make informed decisions to support your pet’s health and well-being.

Essential Tips for Preparing Your Pet for Surgery

1. Understand the Procedure

Before the surgery, it's crucial to have a clear understanding of what to expect. Discuss the details of the surgery with your pet surgeon, including the procedure itself, expected outcomes, and any potential risks. At Perky Paws Pet Hospital, our experienced team ensures that pet owners are well-informed and comfortable with the upcoming procedure.

2. Follow Pre-Surgery Instructions

Your veterinarian will provide specific instructions to follow before the surgery. These may include fasting your pet for a certain period to ensure their stomach is empty, avoiding certain medications, or adjusting their diet. Adhering to these guidelines is essential for the safety and effectiveness of the surgery.

3. Prepare Your Pet’s Environment

Create a comfortable and quiet space for your pet to recover post-surgery. This should be a clean area with a soft bed and easy access to water and food. Remove any potential hazards or obstacles that could cause injury during their recovery.

4. Pack a Surgery Day Kit

On the day of the surgery, make sure to pack a kit with essential items for your pet. This can include their favorite blanket or toy, any medications they might need, and a list of emergency contacts. Having these items on hand can help reduce stress for both you and your pet.

5. Select the Right Veterinary Surgeon

Choosing the right veterinary surgeon is critical for your pet’s safety and well-being. Look for a veterinary clinic with a strong reputation, experienced staff, and advanced surgical equipment. Perky Paws Pet Hospital is renowned for its skilled pet surgeons and state-of-the-art facilities, ensuring your pet receives top-notch care.

6. Address Any Concerns

If you have any concerns or questions about the surgery, don't hesitate to address them with your veterinarian. It's important to feel confident and reassured about the procedure and your pet’s care. Clear communication with your vet helps alleviate anxiety and ensures you’re fully prepared.

7. Plan for Post-Surgery Care

Post-surgery care is just as important as the preparation. Plan for your pet’s recovery by following the post-operative instructions provided by your veterinarian. This may include administering medications, monitoring the surgical site for signs of infection, and restricting your pet’s activity to prevent complications.

8. Monitor Your Pet’s Recovery

After the surgery, keep a close eye on your pet’s recovery. Watch for any unusual behavior, changes in appetite, or signs of discomfort. If you notice anything concerning, contact your veterinarian immediately. Regular follow-up visits may also be necessary to ensure your pet is healing properly.

9. Be Patient and Supportive

Surgery can be a stressful experience for both pets and their owners. Be patient and supportive during your pet’s recovery, offering them comfort and reassurance. Positive reinforcement and gentle care will help them feel more at ease and speed up their healing process.

10. Stay Informed and Involved

Stay informed about your pet’s recovery progress and remain involved in their post-surgery care. This will help you catch any potential issues early and ensure that your pet receives the best possible care during their recovery period.

By following these tips and working closely with a reputable pet surgeon, you can help ensure a smooth and successful surgical experience for your furry friend. At Perky Paws Pet Hospital, we are committed to providing exceptional care and support throughout every stage of your pet’s surgery and recovery.

Emergency Pet Portrait Commissions And Fundraiser

GOFUNDME LINK Hello, My name is Marisa and Dai is my 12-year-old canine best friend. She has been with me since I found her as a stray when I was in college almost a decade ago.

She has recently developed a potentially cancerous growth on her rear that is open and bleeding/weeping. Her vet has informed us that she needs emergency surgery as soon as possible to remove it. Both to test for cancer but also because it is currently an open wound that cannot be shut and can cause her to go septic if left to get infected, as well as simply the pain / quality of life issues she is currently facing with it.

On top of being an older dog, Dai has a heart condition that makes this surgery high risk for her, as such she will need to visit her cardiologist and have a full workup and exam on top of the surgery itself, to asses her current level of risk and give the veterinary surgeons all information possible to do what they can for Dai's heart with the anesthesia as they operate.

I am of course, dedicated to doing EVERYTHING I can to do right by Dai, and am following all requests and directions from her vet and care team to the letter.

However, I have had a series of health emergencies Myself this year, and due to that do not have the funds to actually cover the costs of Dai's procedures, which kills me.

I am starting this campaign and offering emergency commissions to seek help in raising the funds for her as a last resort out of desperation, anything that can be spared is greatly appreciated, I know these are tough times for Everyone not just Dai and I, so I also understand if there is nothing to give, but if you are in a position to be able to donate, and have a desire to, or even just to share, Dai and I both would like to express our immense gratitude.

BIOGRAPHY

{Birth~Highschool} Maliaka Davis was born and raised in the Smallville, Kansas area where she was born from a Veterinary and a Lawyer. Many of her family are of successful roots and/or involve themselves in law so it was no surprise that she ended up taking interest in forensic science. Because of this career path she strived herself with pride and consistently put herself up to high expectations resulting in her not having much of a social life up till high school. It was until she met Clark Kent and started connecting more with her grandmother that she started to break free of her toxic lifestyle and live more free. In the process learning about the legendary Kaskara that was passed down through generations. By the time she graduated high School however she still followed her roots to becoming a forensic scientist and accepted a scholarship to a prestige college outside of the Kansas area.

{College Years} Living outside of state would end up being a huge change in her life as it would be the first time she would end up being away from her family for such long periods of time so she had to learn for the first time in her life how to make decisions based on her instincts and logic rather than what she would think her parents would say. This would of coarse take a long time to process as she would try to do what she thought her parents would do but realized that as a college student and an adult that the ways of her parents were not always logic to every situation and that decisions were best made when you consider what is best and safe for you rather than what she thought would be right.

In the process of her new found thought process she would end up befriending a man named Bruce Wayne who, despite being more in the socialite part of society was a kind and considerate man. They weren't really close at the time however, they do become comfortable enough to help each other with homework on occasion and secretly meet up at each other's dorm. Other than that they weren't so close as to know each other's favorite thing from the back of their hand and their history of their life. Matter of fact Malaika knew very little about the situation of the Waynes as her family were not much gossip consumers. Especially due to her Mother being a lawyer and didn’t like being influenced by the media when it came to her own work.

In the process of all this she would also end up taking classes in swordman ship and several combat styles such as Nguni stick-fighting and Musangwe. She would learn these from her cousins who lived outside the city of where her college is and still lived by the traditions that her grandmother had told her about during her high school years.

{Graduation ~ Now} Bruce ended up graduating 2 years before Malaika so by the time they graduated they lost contact with each other. Especially because during this time period Personal cell phones and computers were a new and experimental thing so calling or emailing were not an easily accessible thing. Especially to a Richman. However after graduation Malaika would end up moving to metropolis were she would rekindle her friendship with Clark Kent who she ends up having an off and on flirty relationship for 5 years . However they never really end up dating as he would eventually get into Lois Lane who he would end up dating at some point throughout Malaika’s time living there. Things would eventually get complicated however with the two as the thin line through romantic interest and desire start getting complicated between the three. Luckily this would end not only due to Malaika having to put her foot down but also eventually moving out to Gotham as more work was offered there. Upsetting to Clark it would end up putting a hold on their friendship.

Moving out to Gotham would eventually change her life especially due to the high amount of crime. This was once again another life change for Malaika as despite being a forensic scientist Metropolis crime was never to the extent that Gotham had, especially when it came to death of this caliber. However despite all this she still tried to continue to have a positive life out there. Continuing to practice Nguni stick-fighting and Musangwe for her own protection. In the process of all this, due to her good reputation and her being really good at her skills she ended up getting invited a lot to banquets and rich world activities. One of them ends up leading to her old college friend, Bruce wayne.

As a result of this new rekindled friendship they ended up learning much more about each other, even having Malaika learn more about the Wayne's' past and what his goal for Gotham is. Due to this she ends up appreciating him more and oddly ends up having a 3 year long friendship, unknown to his true identity who she was also helping solve cases behind the scenes with Gordan. Eventually a year in she would find out he was Batman. This of course ends up putting a hold on their friendship, but she eventually ends up accepting this factor of his life and devolves it into a romantic relationship. At some point she would introduce him to her life as a Kaskara wielder and she would teach him some of these and she would eventually, herself, get into the life of being a crime stopper. However, not being as active as ‘Batman’ and the others. As for their relationship during this time, they would end up having their ups and downs but they would eventually get married and live a life of being crime fighters and lovers.

She would end up rekindling her relationship with Clark, who she would be forced to find out was superman. She speculated but like most she rarely saw superman up close like Lois so she never could make parallels to their looks.

Salina Kyle and Malaika have a frenemies like relationship to Selina being Bruce's former lover. Malaika usually does not let jealousy get to her but she is aware that she was there for him before Malaika ever was. She missed a chunk of Bruce's life where Selina was so she wasn’t as emotionally connected to Bruce pass as Selina was. Something that Bruce would eventually express was a good thing.

When it came to the boys there relationship was less odd then it was with Bruce other lovers as she wasn't around the same age as them. So it was easier to see a motherly role to her compared to the others who felt weirdly like sisters than anything. Regardless they weren't really looking for a motherly role to begin with but it was nice to have someone else be home other than Alfred and the collection of animals they had. It makes the house less empty on certain days and she's able to make things more interesting with her own family traditions and foods.

Malaika is mixed with several different African Nationalities but her mothers side of the family specifically comes from Eritrea. Her father's side are African Americans who have been there for several decades so the origins are lost to him.

Bunny Hybrid Kyojuro Rengoku x F!Reader: Fuzzy (Modern AU, Pet Hybrid AU)

Summary: [Y/N] stumble across a Big Yellow Flemish Giant who is badly injured, [Y/N] acted fast to save the giant bun little does she knows the surprise that she's going into. Word Count: 4,255 words

Warnings: Blood, Adult Theme-ish (minor nudity)

"Well, you’re done with work [Y/N] and now it’s time to go home, or else your manager will demand for me to stay for night cleaning." You said to yourself as you clock out from your job.

Being a massage therapist is kind of hard but rewarding at the same time. Your family didn’t have much to spend money on from being a nurse so, 'Option B' was an option and you chose the path of helping people relax rather than saving them.

You spent 3 years learning in school sure it normally takes about 2 years to officially complete the course and apply for an official license but you added more years into the course to earn more benefits.

You receive the extra payments from both clients whether they are humans or hybrids. And let me tell you this people pay double for their pet hybrids to relax and help their body unwind from stress and gain more circulation in their blood flow.

As you leave the building the cold wind hits your body and you feel shiver from the night. Winter is right around the corner as once the season of fall ends snow will replace the environment. You get inside your car as you drive home to your apartment.

You turn on your heater to feel the warmth of your car as you drive home. It was a full moon tonight so luckily your sight on the road is a little lighter making you drive more safely.

As you were driving on the road at a distance you saw a rabbit hopping across as the rabbit stopped in its tracks it saw the light of the car and the rabbit’s eyes widened.

You immediately stomp your foot quickly on the brakes as the car immediately stops on the road. If you weren’t wearing your seatbelt you would have bumped your head against the steering wheel.

Your heart races as you are unsure if the bunny was hit or not. You shake your head as you leave your car to investigate the little creature.

You were expecting the rabbit to be small but, you saw with your eyes that it was a huge rabbit that was slumped on the road as the car was inches away from the big bun. You see it has yellow fur and with orange whiskers.

You check on the huge bunny if it was hurt as you get closer you see that it was covered with fresh scars and a bite mark. You were worried for the poor creature, you know that it wasn’t a wild rabbit because they’re mostly different from domestic ones, and the size of this rabbit shows you that his a domestic type.

You carefully place the big rabbit inside your car as you are careful about touching his injuries. You got blood on your hands as you worry about that later now it’s the rabbit's life you're worried about.

You drive your car towards the veterinary hospital where one of your friends Shinubo works as both a surgeon and chemist, it’s still early for the building to be close.

You better call her so that she can prepare some of the materials. You grab your phone and begin to type her number as press call, you hear only ringing on the other side as after a couple of seconds a Shinobu answered the phone.

"Hey [Y/N] I notice that you’re calling me, is it because your manager asked you to get more hybrid lotions since your supply run out?" Shinobu asked.

Sure, your workplace needs suppliers for some hybrid clients and Shinubo is a certified pet veterinarian for both hybrids and regular pets. The hospital also sells lotions, facemasks, and other care products for hybrids and pets.

And yes, Shinubo offers a discount to your facility as a benefit since you help her out with her projects and answer some research questioners during college. You mentioned this to your boss and got a raise from your job so that’s a plus on your point.

"No, it’s actually much more than work, I have a big injured rabbit with me so I’m taking it to your place if you can heal its wounds." You said as you drive faster.

"You said the rabbit is big it must be a Flemish giant and where did you find this kind of animal?" Shinubo asked more questions over the phone.

"I found this fella hopping across the middle of the road at night just a couple of minutes ago, I saw that it has scratches and bite marks on its body as soon as I take a closer look at the fella." You raised your voice out of concern.

You look out at the distance to see Shinubo’s veterinary, "I’m going to hang up now I’m going to have to park on the side of the entrance." You said.

"All right take the rabbit to room 104 second floor, I’ll be in that room preparing the material." Shinubo informed you before she ended the call.

You park on the side of the entrance of the veterinary hospital as you turn on the emergency light. You rushed out of the car and opened the back seat to take the big rabbit with you as the rabbit whimpers while unconscious.

You went inside and turned to the receptionist, as you briefly explained the situation and asked for help on which way is room 104 located on the second floor.

The receptionist guided you that there is a staircase on the left leading to the second floor unfortunately the elevator is down as the receptionist said. Once you see the door on the second floor someone will escort you there.

You thanked the receptionist as you followed her instructor, you arrived at the second floor while holding the big rabbit. You spot a male trainee as he holds a stretcher for the animal. You placed the rabbit on the stretcher and followed him.

He stopped at the particular room and opened the door. There you saw Shinubo with gloves and mask on as she beckoned you to come inside, there she handed you alcohol and wipes to clean your hands while the trainee transferred the rabbit onto the exam table as he set up the lights.

"You’ll be helping out to [Y/N]." Shinubo said as she reassured you of your worries before you got to complain, "Don’t worry you’ll be helping on shifting the rabbit and lifting some of the body parts."

"All right." You agreed as long as you don’t have to do surgery on the rabbit.

"Here, put this on." Shinubo handed you some medical gloves, an apron, and a mask. You put on the gloves and wear the apron and mask as you are ready to help.

Both you and Shinubo got ready as she asked the trainee for the gas to help the animal to fall asleep just in case if it wakes up during the procedure.

"Please bring me the scalpel and anesthesia" Shinubo requested the trainee to bring the materials.

You see Shinubo examined the rabbit’s body thoroughly, after a couple of minutes of studying the rabbit, she sighed and looked at you.

"I got good news and some bad news." Shinubo said while taking off her mask. "Which one would you like to hear first."

Shinubo gave you two options you would hear the good news first before the bad news.

"I want to hear the good news." You hope that it wasn’t going to be life-threatening.

"The good news is that the scars are not deep nor are they going to pose any danger to the flemish giant so there aren’t going to be any surgery today only ointment and some bandages." Shinubo gives out the lighter side of the topic

Okay so if that’s the good news then what could be the bad news "And the bad news?" You curiously said.

"As for the bad news this here flemish giant is not an animal but a hybrid in its animal form." Shinubo stated.

The information crashed into your mind as you never expected it to be a hybrid more or less out in the streets.

"How can you tell?" You wanted to know how Shinubo can tell the difference between a regular anima and a hybrid by their form.

"Okay if you want to know then lift one of its legs." Shinubo instructed you as you were obliged to do.

You lift its legs and saw that the bottom of the rabbit has dick well now you know that it’s a male.

"What am I looking for exactly?" You gave out a confusing look to your friend.

"The pattern of the hybrid’s legs is different take a look at its fur, it has a different pattern than a regular flemish giant." Shinubo then pointed out her finger as she continued.

"Like a normal rabbit, the fur would align down towards its bottom but for this fella here the small fur circling around some of its legs and its male genitals. Would help indicate that it can transform to its animal form and hybrid form." Shinubo explained.

Well, now you know how to distinguish between a regular rabbit and a hybrid rabbit.

"All right, enough talk let's help his wound now," Shinubo said as you gave out a nod.

Shinubo begins cleaning the wounds of the hybrid as she carefully wipes them. She then adds disinfection to the wound. Giving about a couple of minutes she began rubbing the ointment on the wound.

Shinubo asks for your help positioning the hybrid to cover its wound using the clothing bandage.

"It’s done for now I’ll pay your tabs with this so rest assured it's not coming out of your pockets [Y/N]." Shinubo said as she took off her gloves.

You were never expecting that "But Shinubo I’ll be paying I don’t like you to think that I’m taking advantage of you." You protested.

"No don’t you already help me out during my time in college with my ups and downs." Shinubo sighs.

You did remember that it was a hard time for her during her college life and you were always the one she opened up to and her sister as well.

"Are you planning on keeping the hybrid?" Shinubo asked you.

Shinubo’s question caught you off guard, you never had a hybrid before nor do you have any experience in taking care of them.

"I don’t really know. I thought maybe gave this fella to the hybrid pound or-" You were stopped from your mid-sentence as Shinubo interjects. "Or start taking care of this hybrid, the pound isn’t entirely good for this hybrid. The chances of getting adopted are low since many people prefer a baby version of hybrids rather than the adult ones."

"Besides you have a clean couch that can be turned into a bed so it’s a bit more hygienic for the hybrid to live in." Shinubo pointed.

"Fine, I’ll take care of the hybrid." You gave into Shinubo’s persuasion and adopted the hybrid yourself.

The trainee came back as Shinubo dismissed the intern in training.

You give your thanks to Shinubo for helping you. As you take the hybrid into your car making sure not to hurt him. You turn on your car as you drive home with your new hybrid.

You arrive at your apartment, turn off your car and carry the hybrid with you. Now that you weren’t in a panic, you started to feel how heavy the hybrid flemish giant is. Unlike earlier were you carried him into your car and hospital.

You unlock your door as you head straight into the couch and gently lay the yellow bunny down.

Even after the event that had happened, you still felt strange that this is the first time you had a hybrid into your home. You softly patted his head as the bunny form of the hybrid sleeps peacefully.

The sound of your stomach is calling out to you letting you know that it’s time for dinner. You leave the hybrid alone as you start heading towards the kitchen area.

You decided on making some mac and cheese with fruit salad on the side. As you prepared the ingredients on the counter and started cooking.

After a while, the food you made was now done as you served the mac and cheese on your plate and separated the fruit salad in a bowl.

As the spoon was almost at the entrance of your mouth, you suddenly heard the sound of something that dropped. You whip your head towards the sound as you spot the hybrid yellow bunny in a panic as it is on a corner staring directly at you.

The remote was on the ground along with some picture frames knocked down.

You were surprised that it was awake as you slowly headed your way toward the big fella. As soon you approach the rabbit it slowly tries to back itself more into the corner. His nose started shifting as the rabbit looked at the table with food.

You followed its gaze landing on your food as it was hungry. That gives you an idea, you take your fruit salad and slowly approach the hybrid, slowly putting down the bowl at the distance to make sure you aren’t being aggressive towards him.

"Come on big guy I’m not here to harm you" as you shifted the bowl towards him making sure that he would see the food in the bowl. "It’s for you if you’re hungry." You coed at the rabbit to eat.

As the hybrid was wary of you, he slowly hopped towards the food as his noose twitched every second as he came closer to the fruit salad.

You see the rabbit come closer and closer to the bowl as he begins to taste the fruits. Once he eats one of the sliced strawberries, the yellow rabbit quickly eats the whole fruit as every second he devours each and every piece of fruit leaving nothing behind.

The rabbit looks up directly at you, perhaps it knows that you’re not a threat.

"There are still more fruits and vegetables inside the fridge if you’re still hungry." You informed as you took the bowl and headed towards the kitchen and placed it on the sink.

You open the fridge and decided on picking two carrots as you encourage the hybrid rabbit to come closer, it was hesitant for a little but obliges as he is in front of you. You placed down the two carrots right by its front legs and you saw the big rabbit chewing happily at what you offered.

You can’t help that its bunny ears twitch every second as it eats, you gently pat its head. The moment your hand made contact with its body the bunny freezes before gently getting accustomed to the soft hands on its head.

You give him an extra carrot as you leave him to eat his meals while you start to eat your mac and cheese while looking at the hybrid bunny on the floor enjoying his carrots.

After finishing your meal, you grab a bowl and fill it with water as you place it near the hybrid bunny "Here you go big fella some water to help soothe your thirst."

As the bunny saw the water in front of him its cute tongue gently drinks the water. You can’t help how cute his interaction with the way his drinking the water makes you want to scoop him into your arms and snuggle around the big fella.

You stop yourself from pouncing on the rabbit as you decide to wash the dishes. Maybe this wasn’t so bad keeping the hybrid with you.

After a few minutes, you see the hybrid bunny begin to stand still, maybe it was still tired.

You go over to the couch as you change the sofa into a bed, you then go to your room and grab a few pillows and a blanket for your new hybrid. You lay them down, you make sure that it looks comfortable and cozy to sleep in.

"Hey there big fella." You said as you grabbed the attention of the hybrid bunny, you outstretch your hand, testing to see if the hybrid was comfortable with your presence.

The hybrid bunny approaches your hands and takes a couple of sniffs before standing still. You hope that means a sign that it's comfortable with you.

"I’m going to carry you now and place you on the bed, okay." You softly whisper to the hybrid as you mindfully avoid touching his bandages, you manage to carry the big rabbit into your arms as you approach the pile of pillows and blankets.

You were thankful that it didn’t squirm nor did it thrash around your arms, you gently laid him down. "It’s already late bun I hope that you will sleep peacefully tonight." You said as you give the hybrid bunny a few head pats before heading to your room.

You give one last look to see the giant rabbit being curios with the blankets and pillows before laying down as the bunny likes the bed that it’s going to sleep.

You were awake as the morning rays gently hits on your face. You open the door and head towards the kitchen for breakfast. You open the fridge to get some cereal and milk you look to your left and was faced with a person.

You jumped from his approach as he was near you all naked! And you swore you seen every inch of his private part! You were about to scream but soon noticed the bunny ears and his red eyes were the same as your hybrid bunny. Until you remembered the event from last night shot right back into your memories. This person who has a flame-like hair that transitioned from pale yellow at the roots to a vivid orange at the tips. His hair is also spikey that reach to his shoulder-length manner.

"Hello! Owner!" The naked hybrid in front of you has a plastered of confident and enthusiastic smile on his face.

His voice is also loud as he was yelling.

"Please lower down your voice I don’t want my next-door neighbors complaining to the landlord early in the morning" You requested at the hybrid man.

Before he could apologize to you, you told him to wait here as you went to your room. You came back and brought out a gray colored sweatpants and a black t-shirt from your brother as he forgot to bring some of his clothes back when he was crashing at your apartment.

"Here wear this." You hand over the clothes to the blond hybrid as you look away while he begins to put on the pants and clothes. You also felt bad that some of his body contains scars, good thing some of the bandages are wrapped around the wound while some are gone.

"Thank you for bringing me these wearable fabrics." The blond hybrid gives you, his thanks.

"You’re welcome." You said, "Do you have a name?"

The blond hybrid nodded his head, "My name is Kyojuro from the special breeds of Rengoku." Kyojuro passionately said.

"Huh? Rengoku special breeds?" You were curious about what Kyojuro meant by special breeds.

"The Rengoku breeds are special breeds of fighting rabbits. Such as me." Kyojuro said as his smile still plastered on his face.

Once you got the gist of fighting that means that Kyojuro was a fighter in an illegal hybrid match. It was declared illegal by the government that hybrids are not supposed to be used for fighting especially where it involves the winner to live and the loser to die.

"So, you escaped last night, weren’t you?" You wanted to confirm if Kyojuro escaped his captors.

As soon as you spoke those words out of your mouth, you can see Kyojuro’s face begin to falter as his smile slowly shifts into a pained expression.

"I don’t want to go back into the ring." Kyojuro voiced out his struggling words. "Please… I’ll do anything… anything that you want just don’t bring me back to the ring." Kyojuro painfully begged as he was on his knees, his hands gripping on your pajama.

Seeing his pained expression makes you pity him, you pat his head you feel his hair is sticky but you don’t mind, you gently touch his bunny ears.

"Don’t worry I’m not going to send you back and call me by my name [Y/N]." You softly said as you shifted on your hands switching your petting from his bunny ears and his head.

You feel Kyojuro begin to feel comfortable but you need both of you to eat breakfast as you help Kyojuro stand up. You better give Kyojuro a bath later.

"Now why don’t we eat breakfast." You announced as Kyojuro seemed to be excited at the mention of food.

You place bowls at the table, you look at Kyojuro crouching on the floor. "Why don’t you take a set Kyojuro." "But, owner only you humans get to have the privilege of eating on the table and we hybrids only eat from the floor." Kyojuro protested.

Okay so the people handling Kyojuro are a bunch of asses, you can’t believe that they would have to force him to eat from the floor.

"No, Kyojuro even hybrids have rights and refused to surrender with abuse. You are allowed to sit on the chair.." You patted on the chair for him to sit on, "It’s all right I won’t throw you out besides I have the responsibility of taking care of you."

You can see the Kyojuro widen his eyes from what you said. He then sat on the chair as you added cereal to his bowl and poured milk.

You did the same to yours as you begin to eat your cereal, you looked at Kyojuro as he wasn’t eating his cereal. "Is something wrong?"

"I’m just waiting for your permission for me to eat" Kyojuro stared at you.

You were shocked that they also wouldn’t allow him to eat without someone commanding him to. You will help Kyojuro get through with this and hope that he will recover and be a free hybrid.

"You know you don’t need my permission if I’m serving food to you." You confessed, "So, eat the cereal before it goes soggy." You smiled at the blond hybrid.

"Thank you, owner." Kyojuro said as he scoops the cereal with his hands. The milk and some cereal drips from his hands and onto the table.

You can’t help but feel sad for him, you rather guide him than letting him be. You stand up from your chair as Kyojuro seems to be tense as if he has done something to upset you.

You went closer to Kyojuro as you handed him a spoon. "Do you know how to use this?" You asked as Kyojuro responded by shaking his head.

"Here let me show you how to use a spoon." You said as you scooped the cereal with your spoon and hovered the spoon at the entrance of Kyojuro's mouth.

Kyojuro opens his mouth as you feed him. The interaction between the two of you was like spoon-feeding a baby. It's funny but you're determined to help Kyojuro as much as you can.

"See if you eat from the spoons it's easier to hold the milk with the cereal without spilling them. Why don’t you try." You said as you handed the spoon to Kyojuro’s hand, he took the spoon and began to eat from the utensil rather than his hands.

Kyojuro seemed to like this way of eating. "If all the cereal is gone from the bowl you can drink directly from it." You informed as you headed back to eating your own cereal.

You even showed him by taking both hands with the bowl and drinking from it, you want to avoid Kyojuro drinking the bowl with his face planted straight into the bowl of milk.

After both of you are done eating your cereal. You haven’t given it a thought that you need to buy Kyojuro some special needs for him, luckily it's your day off today until two days until Monday.

You look over at Kyojuro to see that he isn’t comfortable, "Is something the matter?" You asked.

"No owner I don’t want to bother you." Kyojuro Joyfully said but you weren’t having it. "I know something wrong and I’m here to make sure to attend to your needs."

Given that you prioritize your clients well being on what they’re comfortable to choose.

"It’s nothing to worry about owner. My tail felt uncomfortable around the pants" Kyojuro gave in.

Is that why he keeps on shifting his pants so and then. "Don’t worry I will cut some holes so your tail won’t be uncomfortable."

"Thank you so much, owner!" Kyojuro exclaimed with his loud voice as you covered your ears from his loudness, welp you better have a long nice talk with the landlord about this.

I guess you can say that this is a story [Y/N] the human and your Hybrid bunny Kyojuro from the Rengoku breed of rabbits

And that’s how you started your day with Kyojuro your new hybrid. Making sure that he is well cared for. Perhaps in the near future everything will change but you made sure to keep him happy and free.

My Fave Sherlock BBC AUs - Magical Realism

Around mid-month I’ll do a fic rec list with my fave AU genres or tropes. Summaries are taken from OP on AO3.

Not always tagged with “Magical Realism”, these fics feature supernatural beings and/or circumstances. No vampires, demons and merfolk here, they already have their own lists. No ghosts as well, they’ll get a rec list of their own later.

“The Horse and his Doctor” by khorazir @khorazir

https://archiveofourown.org/works/3591864

Invalided after a run in with a poacher in Siberia, veterinary surgeon John Watson finds it difficult to acclimatise to the mundanity of London life. Things change when a friend invites him along to a local animal shelter and he meets their latest acquisition, a trouble-making Frisian with the strangest eyes and even stranger quirks John has ever encountered in a horse.

“The Summer Boys” by khorazir

https://archiveofourown.org/works/8460733

About half a year after the fateful events at Appledore, Sherlock and John embark on a private case in Sussex. For Sherlock, it’s a journey into his past, bringing up memories both happy and sad that he has locked away for almost thirty years. For John, it means coming to terms with the present – and a potential future with Sherlock.

“Rise and Fall” by All_I_need @the-reading-lemon​

https://archiveofourown.org/works/5968354

Sherlock Holmes is a Fallen looking for a distraction. John Watson is an invalided soldier looking for a flatshare. When they meet, both get more than they bargained for. But while Sherlock keeps John in the dark, someone else is patiently making sinister plans for the two of them.

“The destruction of ice” by All_I_need

https://archiveofourown.org/works/18898750

The year is 2081 and Sherlock Holmes never expected to encounter a threat to his Silence, the conditioning that keeps him sane and unfeeling. John Watson, on the other hand, never thought he'd find a flat in London. He certainly didn't expect to find one that comes with a Psy flatmate: brilliant, emotionless and more intriguing than John would like. When a series of brutal, random murders shakes London to its core, it is up to them to stop a vicious psychopath - preferably before Sherlock's latest experiment gets them both killed.

“The Wicked Path of Destiny” by hogwartswitch

https://archiveofourown.org/works/3531719

To save the man he loves, Sherlock sacrifices his life to become the God of Death for eternity. He walks the earth in a new, monstrous form, but a part of him has always remained human. John Watson has been touched by tragedy from his first breath. After losing all of his loved ones, he finds himself at the wrong end of a bullet. A prophecy, an act of sacrifice, and an epic quest for redemption link their destinies irrevocably.

“Darkling, I listen” by You_Light_The_Sky @youlighttheskyfanfiction​

No one who enters old London ever comes out. They say that the beast devours them. When his sister disappears, John ventures into the dead zone beyond the wall, and finds a brilliant madman under a terrible curse...

John Watson moves to 221B Baker Street. Unfortunately, the flat's already occupied.

“Left” by lifeonmars​

https://archiveofourown.org/works/639976

John Watson is left-handed. He’s tried not to let it affect his life, but as any Lefty knows, that’s almost impossible.

“How to sell your soul and get it back” by WhatIfIAmInsane @whatifiaminsane​

https://archiveofourown.org/works/9811478

Sadly unfinished but still so good!

Sherlock made a deal with the devil, quite literally. After years of drug abuse and neglect his body wouldn’t let him go on. Obviously, it happened right when he had finally found something to make his life interesting. The logical response was to offer his soul in exchange for a working transport. That had happened when he was 27. Now, at 34, he gets an unexpected visitor. The devil needs a favour and is offering Sherlock’s soul as payment.

“Hell Sent, Heaven Bound” by ConsultingHound

https://archiveofourown.org/works/15915207

Ex-War healer and current angelic guard John Watson is not having the best day. He overslept, he’s underpaid, and now there’s someone tagging the Council’s building walls. However things may be about to get interesting: there’s an unusual stranger hanging around (the definition of tall, dark, and handsome), a literal underground cult is brewing, and rumblings are coming from hell. Can he keep his neighbourhood safe, how and why is he being connected to all this, and who the hell is Sherlock Holmes?

“Chaos Theory” by entanglednow @entanglednow​

"You want me to let him go, of course," Mycroft says, before John even opens his mouth to speak.

“Secrets of the mind” by kryptaria  @kryptaria​

https://archiveofourown.org/works/445564

In a world where almost a tenth of the population are born gifted, psychics and nulls live side-by-side, without fear or prejudice. Children are tested in their late teens. Those who are gifted are trained in the safe use of their gifts. After training, they are tattooed with the mark of their gift, proudly displayed for all to see. Throughout history, the most feared serial killers and mass murderers have been multis: psychics born with multiple gifts. To be a multi is to be fated for a lifetime of incarceration for the good of society. There is no way to hide a psychic gift — no way to escape detection.Unless you’re Sherlock Holmes.

“Trenchcoats and Capes” by jomochi (Jominerva)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/6087484

He’s twirling a strand of hair around the finger of his other hand. His coat, which honestly looks more like a cape than anything, is spread out beneath him. His chest rises and falls slowly with calm breaths, the tight black material of his suit stretching to accommodate the movement. John has seen many pictures of him but not one did him any justice. The sight before John is breath-taking. It isn’t right. Evil shouldn’t look this good.

“Curse of the Were-Tuna” by WhoGroovesOn

characters as karmic tails series

note: this is just my opinion. I am not an expert in karmic tails or destiny matrix, nor do I claim to be. please do not be offended by the characters chosen if you have this karmic tail

this series is inspired by 26karmic on tiktok, who is the first person I saw doing this.

Viktor as Destruction, Death of Many Souls; karmic tail 21-7-13

this post contains spoilers for season two of arcane, so please proceed with caution.

karmic tails represent the trials a person has to go through to right the mistakes they made in their previous lifetimes; they directly correlate to the difficulties you must overcome and the habits you are at risk of falling into in this life.

to skip information on how this is represented in lifetimes and go straight to Viktor, skip to the first purple-blue gradient divider.

in the previous lifetime

your previous incarnation may have been involved in the military somehow, as a witness to great death and destruction or the cause of it. participating in or living through a war can cause this karmic tail.

you may have also lost many people throughout your previous life, through a large and traumatic event, or constantly. this could mean natural disasters, terrorist attacks, freak events that cause a lot of harm, etc.

a person who made something that was ultimately used as a weapon — for example, Oppenheimer — are very likely to have this tail in their next life, even if they were not the person who directly used said weapon or even intended for it to be one. I could also see this being given to a person who raised or gave birth to a child who does such things, as many parents of murderers feel great guilt and responsibility for their child's actions and blame themselves.

most obviously, anyone who directly causes great harm to others, murders, etc will likely receive this tail.

a good example of what the lifetime that causes this tail may look like include; Daenerys Targaryen in season 8 of Game of Thrones, Oppenheimer, Clarke Griffin from The 100, etc

in this lifetime

the level of loss and death in the previous lifetime directly follows a person into their current one. the weight of health and mortality hangs over your head like a sword on a thread.

you may have a saviour complex, wanting to help everything and everyone, even when the task seems daunting or impossible. you may shoulder the emotional burdens of others or take on all responsibilities yourself.

you're likely drawn to careers where you can help others, especially in the way of health. examples of these careers include; nurses, doctors, surgeons, pharmacists, doulas and midwives, social work, volunteer work, physical therapy and rehabilitation, plant nurseries, animal rescue, veterinary work, etc

outside of work, you might be someone who experiments with your physical appearance or environment. you may dye or cut your hair frequently, wear wigs, or try different styles of clothes and makeup

in your downtime, you may be pursuing something creative like writing, music, or art — or, if you’re like Viktor, inventing, robotics, and engineering.

your compassion is what drives you, but sometimes you can reach points of plateau where nothing seems to progress and you feel stuck. you might feel as though you’re being lazy because it seems as though nothing is being done.

on the downside, you may hold onto relationships, jobs, or situations that aren’t solvable. while you are talented at healing, some things really are just dead and gone. learning to let go of the things that don’t serve you is likely a lesson you have to learn regarding relationships.

arcana breakdown

21

being controlling, negatively impacting global affairs and/or conditions, limitations on yourself or enforcing limitations on others, excessive control, abusing leadership, working in or leading the military, being narrow-minded or arrogant, causing or aiding global despair and destruction, placing blame on others instead of taking accountability, ungrateful, focusing on ego rather than their higher self, criticizing everything, aggressive behaviour

7

authoritarianism, being combative and aggressive, willing to sacrifice anything if it means winning, cutthroat, ruthless, their way or the highway, unyielding and obstinate, lack of progress or movement, creating problems for themself because they think of life as always difficult, victim mentality, needing conflict to feel fulfilled or useful, us vs them mentality, overworking to the point of extreme stress and suffering, demanding of others, lacks sympathy for self and for others

13

fear of change, resisting change, destruction of environment or circumstances, death, aggression, mood swings, irritability, unpredictability, manic behaviour, reckless, extremely risky behaviour, overly-concerned with death of themselves and loved ones, clinging to the past, holding onto pain or baggage, hoarding, extremely harsh or unkind, impatience, excessive mourning, stagnancy, indecision, hesitation due to fear, neglect life due to fear or lack of control, obsession over long-gone relationships, holding onto toxic relationships and conditions despite knowing better, sunk-cost fallacy

analysis of Viktor

to me, Viktor is the perfect representation of Destruction and Death of Many Souls. in season 1 of arcane, Viktor is physically disabled from childhood and eventually begins to succumb to illness caused by the toxic conditions he grew up in. his unfortunate conditions in childhood and lifelong health issues lead Viktor to wanting to make the world better and healthier for everyone.

Viktor teams up with a young man named Jayce Talis, someone who was raised in much more fortunate conditions than he. With Jayce, Viktor leaves behind his mentor and father-figure Heimerdinger — who is incredibly anti-magic — in order to bring magic to the world and invent life-changing machines. Viktor even breaks into his former mentor’s office — and directly disobeying the local government — in order to save Jayce’s research on the arcane from being destroyed.

Heimerdinger had lived through an era of magic, and saw its terrible effects, but Viktor only saw the possibility of progress and dismissed Heimerdinger’s experiences, showcasing his narrow-minded ness and combative nature.

throughout the creative process, Viktor and Jayce butt heads about their individual visions of how to utilize the arcane. While both are dedicated to helping the world, they have different ideas of how to do so. Jayce and Viktor receive permission from Councilwoman Mel Medarda to continue their research and invention (an initiative named Hextech), and Viktor is very defensive over this decision — over the course of the series, he seems to resent Mel’s involvement in Hextech, actively refusing to allow it to be used as a weapon. Viktor argues for his beliefs and perspectives with Hextech, including in continuing it after Heimerdinger warns him after noticing the negative effects of using the arcane starting again.

despite also noticing concerning things about the arcane — including personally witnessing the arcane disintegrate his assistant, Skye, before his very eyes, Viktor pushes through at any and all cost.

part of his journey to continue hextech is to cure his terminal illness. through season 1, Viktor uses the arcane to magically heal and enhance his body — he reinforces his spine and his weak leg, making it so he can run for the first time in his life. this new change is invigorating to him, and directly leads into his later arc.

after a disaster, Viktor is left with a broken spine and close to death. Jayce, who is incredibly dedicated to Viktor, uses the Arcane to revive Viktor, but at a great cost. when Viktor awakens, his body is almost entirely non-human. even his very character is changed, much more cold and detached than he was before.

from here, Viktor becomes a sort of messiah, actively using his newfound connection to the arcane from building his entire body from it to heal others. he cures the addicted, healing away their addictions and their body mutations from a local drug called shimmer almost instantaneously. below is the evolution of a character from pre-shimmer, using shimmer, and after being healed by Viktor

while still maintaining some human qualities, Viktor essentially creates his desired world, a utopia, a commune. Viktor turned an area of a previously near-uninhabitable landscape into a place with life, blooming flowers and crops, and clean air for the first time in existence. it allows no weapons, and the community is dedicated to helping others and following Viktor’s example.

above are examples of Viktor's commune

instead of accepting the innate differences and accommodating the disabilities of others in his new society, he instead removes them entirely. there is no longer a need for glasses, and he turns a wheel-chair bound child into someone completely ambulatory.

Viktor accumulates hundreds of followers, absorbing their consciousnesses into the arcane with him. Viktor is able to physically possess their bodies even across long distances to communicate through them, essentially turning his followers into a healed hive mind.

not all is well though, there are hints that while the followers maintain their personalities, voices, and some mannerisms, they are not actually alive; rather, they are living husks that do not need to breathe. in being healed, they have sacrificed their individuality and perhaps their entire lives.

Viktor’s human body is eventually killed by Jayce, who had freshly returned from the arcane sending him into the distant future where Viktor’s leadership destroyed the world. this essentially kills all humanity left in Viktor, and while his body is saved, he too is a lifeless husk being possessed. the death of Viktor causes his followers to go limp and lifeless, whatever left of their souls leeching from their bodies.

Viktor’s new resurrected body, healed once more through the arcane, is entirely arcanic now. his body is completely mutated and his consciousness views life through the astral realm rather than inhabiting his body. in this state, Viktor believes that humanity is the problem entirely, opting to make everyone equal. he turns the corpses of his previous followers into mannequins — tall, sleek, featureless, and agile. he uses them to fulfill his goal, which is force others to submit to the “glorious evolution”, forcing them to forego their humanity and be absorbed into his consciousness, to become his mannequins.

below are examples of Viktor's new, non-human body

an example of Viktor's "ideal" evolution above, and Viktor's mannequins forcing the remaining humans to submit; below is Viktor's human astral soul versus his non-human astral appearance

Jayce saw what would happen if Viktor succeeded — a lifeless world, desolate, empty, and ruined. in the brilliance of their emotional connection from when Viktor was still human, Jayce is able to show Viktor this future through his memories, and Viktor is horrified at the world he could cause.

ultimately, Viktor chooses to embody the healed version of his karmic tail by allowing himself to be absorbed into the arcane and releasing the consciousnesses of those who had not yet made the final evolution (the others already have been lost), a choice that saves the world and universe as a whole.

Viktor represents both the past and present life brilliantly; someone who starts on the right path, loses his way, and ultimately comes full circle to doing the right thing. he has learned at least some of the lesson of this karmic tail. this is a happy ending — Viktor has mostly reached his highest potential available, and his soul is absorbed (possibly exploring) the arcane with his soulmate, Jayce, who chose to go with him.

what can you learn from Viktor?

take a moment to evaluate what you consider “healing”. don’t force your personal ideals or beliefs on healing onto other people, let them have their autonomy. you don’t need to take away a disability if someone isn’t interested in that, you can instead accommodate them. advocate for disability rights, accommodations, listen to people with disabilities.

when it comes to continuing life — consider what is fair to them. it’s heart-wrenching to make the choice to let an animal or loved one pass. instead of focusing on your own feelings about said animal or person, consider their quality of life were they to continue on. would you be forcing them to live through pain and terrible physical conditions for your own sake, or would they genuinely have a positive quality of life? weigh this before making decisions, think of what they would want to happen to them, and listen to the recommendations of vets or doctors.

don’t risk everything to get what you want — the cost is not worth it. like Viktor causing the death of Skye, some consequences will follow you forever. weigh the consequences, and not just the ones for yourself, but the people and environment around you, before continuing on.

you’d likely benefit from travelling; live life while you still have it. your compassion drives you greatly, and there’s nothing that brings more empathy than learning about other people and places.

lastly, pay attention to how your words and actions impact people. think before you speak and act. Viktor didn’t consider what his followers wanted, he just acted. the only person he showed any consideration for was someone who had barely any humanity left in him after experiencing torture and experimentation. instead, show compassion for everyone. that doesn’t mean let them walk all over you, but try to understand why they are the way they are. once you do, any anger you feel over someone’s beliefs or actions turns into pity or indifference.

Finding Your Furever Vet: A Guide to Locating Top-Notch Veterinarians Near You

Our pets are cherished members of the family, and ensuring their health and happiness is a top priority.  Regular veterinary care is crucial for preventing illness, detecting problems early, and providing necessary treatments. But when it comes to finding the right vet, navigating unfamiliar territory can feel overwhelming.  Fear not, fellow pet parents!  This comprehensive guide will equip you with the knowledge and resources to locate outstanding veterinary care facilities close by.

Understanding Veterinary Services:

Veterinary medicine encompasses a wide range of specialties, similar to human medicine. Here's a breakdown of some common services offered by veterinary clinics:

General wellness exams: These routine checkups include physical examinations, vaccinations, parasite prevention discussions, and weight management consultations.

Vaccinations: Puppies and kittens require a series of vaccinations in their early lives to protect them from potentially life-threatening diseases. Adult pets also need booster shots to maintain immunity.

Spay and neuter procedures: Spaying and neutering your pet offers numerous health benefits and helps control pet overpopulation.

Dental care: Dental cleanings are essential for maintaining your pet's oral health and preventing serious dental issues.

Surgery: Veterinary surgeons perform a variety of procedures, from spaying/neutering to more complex surgeries for injuries or illnesses.

Emergency care:  Unfortunately, emergencies can arise. Locating a nearby clinic offering 24/7 emergency care is crucial.

Finding the Perfect Fit: What to Look For

The ideal veterinary clinic provides a seamless blend of expertise, compassion, and affordability.  Here are some key factors to consider when searching for a vet:

Location and Convenience:  Accessibility is vital.  Look for a clinic within a reasonable distance from your home or work. Consider factors like traffic and parking availability.

Clinic Hours:  Flexible hours are ideal. Does the clinic offer evening or weekend appointments to accommodate busy schedules?

Services Offered:  Does the clinic provide the services your pet requires? Consider their life stage and potential future needs.

Veterinarian Credentials and Experience:  Research the veterinarian's qualifications. Look for board certification in specific areas if needed. Experience with your pet's breed or species is a plus.

Clinic Facilities:  Is the clinic clean, well-equipped, and modern?  Does it provide a comfortable and stress-free environment for your pet?

Staff Friendliness and Communication:  Friendly and communicative staff are essential for a positive experience. Do they make you and your pet feel welcome and listened to?

Cost and Payment Options:  Veterinary care can vary in cost.  Does the clinic offer transparent pricing and different payment options? Consider pet insurance to help manage unexpected expenses.

Harnessing the Power of Technology:

The digital age has revolutionized finding veterinary care.  Here are some tech-savvy ways to locate top-notch vets:

Online Review Sites:  Websites like Yelp and Google reviews can offer valuable insights from other pet owners.  However, it's important to read a variety of reviews and take them with a grain of salt.

Veterinary Association Websites:  The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and your state's veterinary medical association websites have directories listing licensed veterinarians in your area.

Social Media:  Many veterinary clinics maintain active social media pages, showcasing facilities, staff, and services. This can be a great way to get a feel for the clinic's atmosphere.

Beyond the Basics: Specialized Care

Some pets require specialized veterinary care.  Here's a quick guide to finding veterinary specialists:

Referral from Your General Veterinarian:   Your regular vet is often the best resource for finding a specialist. They can provide recommendations based on your pet's specific needs.

Specialty Veterinary Associations:  Associations like the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM) offer online directories of board-certified veterinary specialists by location and specialty.

Building a Lasting Relationship with Your Vet

Finding the right veterinarian is an essential step in ensuring your pet's long-term health and happiness.  By understanding the different veterinary services available, considering these key factors when searching for a clinic, and utilizing online resources, you can make an informed decision.  Remember, open communication and trust are crucial in building a long-lasting relationship with your veterinarian, ultimately leading to the best possible care for your furry friend.

Bonus Section: Traveling with Your Pet?

Traveling with your pet requires some additional considerations regarding veterinary care.

Vaccinations:  Ensure your pet's vaccinations are up-to-date before traveling. Some destinations require additional vaccinations or health certificates.

Research potential veterinary clinics along your travel route and at your destination. Consider saving their contact information in your phone or writing it down in case of emergencies.

Bring a copy of your pet's medical records. This will be helpful if they require unexpected veterinary care while traveling.

Consider pet insurance, especially if traveling internationally.  Unexpected vet bills can be costly, and pet insurance can provide peace of mind.

Golden Years Care:  Veterinarians Specializing in Senior Pets

As our furry companions age, their veterinary needs may change.  Here's what to consider:

Senior Wellness Exams:  Regular checkups become even more crucial for senior pets. Discuss senior-specific care plans with your veterinarian.

Veterinarians Specializing in Geriatric Care:  Some veterinary clinics offer specialized services and have staff experienced with the unique needs of senior pets.

The Takeaway: A Tailored Approach to Veterinary Care

Finding the right veterinarian is a journey, not a destination. Consider your pet's age, breed, specific needs, and your lifestyle when making a decision. Ultimately, the best veterinary clinic is the one that provides high-quality care, prioritizes your pet's well-being, and fosters a positive and trusting relationship between you, your pet, and the veterinary team. With a little research and these helpful tips, you can embark on a path to ensuring your furry friend receives the exceptional veterinary care they deserve throughout their lives.

All Creatures Great and Small (2020)

Basic Story: James Herriot works as a veterinary surgeon in the Yorkshire Dales in the late 1930s.

Fan Thoughts: The series of books All Creatures Great and Small has had many adaptations to film and television since their release in the 1970s, including a series running on the BBC from 1978 until 1990.  However, there were changes made to the story for this most recent series; giving the housekeeper Mrs. Hall and Helen, James’ love interest, more expanded roles.  The author James Alfred Wight, who wrote under the penname James Herriot, set the books in 1937 which was slightly earlier than his own experiences as a veterinarian; he graduated from veterinary college in 1939 which meant he began practicing right at the outbreak of the war.  Having the story start in 1937 is really quite clever because it gives the audience nearly three full seasons to get to know the characters and the community in the Yorkshire Dales before the war starts and totally changes the landscape.  During the third season there are increasing mentions of the war as tensions increase in Europe, often brought to the screen through radio broadcasts.  When war is finally declared, the main cast is gathered around the radio, and with the audience having known them for so long their reactions have significantly more impact. Most media set in World War II spends a very little of the story on the characters’ time before the war, but being able to extensively see their lives before gives more weight to the changes that are coming.  Some quick research showed that James Alfred Wight and Brian Sinclair, the real Tristan Farnon, both served in the war but it’s hard to say where the show will take them given the changes they’ve already made to the story.  The series as a whole is pleasant and charming in its’ telling, similar to Downton Abbey; in fact the first episode is directed by Brian Percival who directed six episodes of Downton Abbey.  Another lovely series from Masterpiece theater, the fourth season will be very interesting to watch by having a perspective from the home front and those serving simultaneously.

John Boyd Dunlop was born on February 5, 1840. A Scottish inventor and veterinary surgeon who spent most of his career in Ireland. Familiar with making rubber devices, he invented the first practical pneumatic tires for his child’s tricycle and developed them for use in cycle racing. He sold his rights to the pneumatic tires to a company he formed with the president of the Irish Cyclists’ Association, Harvey Du Cros, for a small cash sum and a small shareholding in their pneumatic tire business. Dunlop withdrew in 1896. The company that bore his name, Dunlop Pneumatic Tyre Company, was not incorporated until later.

DIY Dog Knee Braces: Pros, Cons, and Safety Tips

When Max, a lively golden retriever, started limping after chasing his favorite ball, his owner Sarah knew something was wrong. A visit to the vet confirmed it—a partial ACL tear. Faced with steep surgical costs, Sarah turned to DIY solutions for a dog knee brace. While it seemed like a cost-effective fix, she quickly discovered the complexities of crafting a brace that truly supports a dog's injured knee.

DIY dog knee braces are gaining popularity as a budget-friendly alternative to professional options. But are they effective and safe? Let’s dive into the pros, cons, and safety tips to help you make an informed decision for your furry friend.

The Appeal of DIY Dog Knee Braces

For many dog owners in the USA, the cost of a custom dog knee brace—which can range from $500 to $1,000—feels overwhelming. DIY braces, on the other hand, can be made using affordable materials like neoprene, Velcro, and elastic bands, with costs typically under $50.

Pros of DIY Dog Knee Braces

Affordability: Creating your own brace is much cheaper than buying a custom-made option or paying for surgery.

Immediate Availability: You don’t have to wait for shipping or appointments; a DIY solution can be crafted within hours.

Customization: With the right materials, you can tailor the brace to your dog’s size and specific injury.

The Risks and Limitations of DIY Braces

While the appeal is undeniable, DIY dog braces come with significant challenges:

1. Improper Fit Can Do More Harm

An ill-fitting brace can worsen your dog’s injury. Research shows that improper knee support may lead to joint misalignment or exacerbate existing damage. A 2019 study from the American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS) found that 78% of improperly fitted canine leg braces contributed to delayed healing or secondary issues.

2. Lack of Professional Expertise

Unlike custom braces, which are designed based on detailed measurements and medical imaging, DIY options lack this precision. This could lead to uneven weight distribution, causing strain on the unaffected leg.

3. Durability Concerns

DIY braces may not withstand the wear and tear of an active dog. Materials like elastic bands can lose tension over time, reducing effectiveness.

Safety Tips for DIY Dog Knee Braces

If you decide to try a DIY solution, follow these safety guidelines to minimize risks:

1. Consult a Veterinarian First

Always get a professional opinion before using a DIY brace. Your vet can guide you on the appropriate level of support needed.

2. Use Quality Materials

Choose sturdy, non-toxic materials that won’t irritate your dog’s skin. Neoprene is a popular choice due to its flexibility and durability.

3. Prioritize Comfort

Ensure the brace doesn’t rub or chafe your dog’s leg. Adding soft padding can help prevent skin irritation.

4. Test the Fit Regularly

Dogs grow and their activity levels fluctuate, which can affect how the brace fits. Check for signs of discomfort, swelling, or reduced mobility.

5. Monitor Progress

Track your dog’s healing and be ready to adjust or abandon the DIY brace if it’s not effective.

The Bottom Line

DIY dog knee braces may seem like a convenient solution, but they come with risks that shouldn’t be ignored. While they can provide temporary support, they’re no substitute for professional-grade dog braces or proper veterinary care. If you’re determined to go the DIY route, prioritize your dog’s safety above all else and consult your vet to ensure you’re making the right decision.

Max eventually got the help he needed—a professional-grade canine leg brace tailored to his injury. Today, he’s back to chasing balls with his tail wagging high. Remember, your pup deserves nothing less than the best when it comes to their health and happiness.

“In June 1990, two days apart, bombs exploded in the cars of Margaret Baskerville, a veterinary surgeon working at Porton Down, a chemical research defence establishment, and Patrick Max Headley, a physiologist at Bristol University. Baskerville escaped without injury by jumping through the window of her mini-jeep when a bomb using a mercury-tilt device exploded next to the fuel tank. During the attack on Headley—which New Scientist writes involved the use of plastic explosives—a 13-month-old baby in a push-chair suffered flash burns, shrapnel wounds, and a partially severed finger”

I take that with a grain of salt, because I don’t believe any animal rights group ever claimed credit for the bombing and some have been known to bomb their own cars in order to discredit the anima liberation movement (and THOSE animal abuser bombers always get a slap on the wrist while animal rescuers get 12 years 🙄)

Yeah, i dont know what to make of that. Sounds like they just dont know why a bomb went off and assumed some animal rights activist(s?) were protesting the chemical research establishment. But I wasnt there so I dont know.
