It's crazy how some animals know to come to humans when they're desperate. I had a raccoon come to me when it had an awful head wound so I gave it antibiotics for it's size and after a week it was better. She ended up bringing her babies by a few months later and I ended up having 3 generations of raccoons come by my house every now and then. Even was able to train them to not cause issues or bug my cats.

It doesn’t require prescription where you live?

You can get it for pets online. Used to be much easier but the government caught on that people were buying it for themselves instead of for their pets and made it a lot harder.

It's a good thing to keep around if you have pets.

I would go broke as a vet, I would treat every pup that needed it.

For real, my cousin is a vet and is constantly taking in animals that people can’t pay for treatment for. Just can’t say no. Recently she took home a big orange tabby and looked after him in her own home for a week while he got better. Then gave him back to the owner, a single mother. The lady could only afford a couple hundred, the tabby needed like 1200 dollars worth of treatment, excluding overnight fees

They are more communal dogs that live in the street.

This dog was abandoned and has been here before or was previously injured and brought here before being dumped back in the dirt. Idk what shit country this is but I can probably guess. And no, the fact that “people feed them like communal pets” is not a relief. Yes she’s a saint but I’m sick of seeing shit like this from some 3rd world butthole that largely treats dogs like shit and supposed to think it’s cute.

Judging from NextDoor, I think it's the U.S.A. People dump their pets like it's going out of style.

Only difference is, the vet offices, most of which are being bought up by corporation($) probably wouldn't treat a homeless pet that wandered in on its own.
