My left ear has been bothering me? Is surgery an opinion?
Posted by admin on Feb 10, 2010
My ears have been bothering me for about 6 months. Currently, my left ear is in a lot of pain. If I touch it, move it, it really hurts. And if I don’t touch it, there would be pain like contractions. It would last 2-5 seconds every 10 minutes or so. Im not really able to open my mouth wide, and my left jaw is hurting. I am also experiencing hearing loss in this left ear and Im only 14 years old.
I have a doctors appointment today. Should I ask him if Im able to get surgery?
I tried all medication. Antibiotics, cream,ear drops, tea tree oil.
Thanks!
Also, the left side of my neck, under my ear, is in pain also. I’ve been getting headaches, too!
Do anything you can to avoid surgery if you can, as surgery may cause even more problems. good that you are going to see the doctor today, and suspect he is also aware that surgery would be a last resort. It does sound like you have tried everything possible though.
Do ask the doc what to expect after the surgery and long term as well. Ask him for best case and worse case scenarios.
Can you plant grass over a tree stump?
Posted by admin on Feb 10, 2010
We had a tree cut down and the stump ground, howerver, he didn’t quite grind it "level". There is a small mound; I’ve covered it with dirt. Should I just plant grass over it? How much dirt should I put over it and will it be hard to mow?
Hopefullly you cut the tree down far enough you won’t trip over it. I would cut it down somemore, make it about an inch below ground level. I heard if you paint the tree stump, it will not continue to grow. Yes, I would then plant grass over it. However, you might still get some tree sprouts growing up around your yard.
Why are certain pet owners snobby towards people who have exotic animals?
Posted by admin on Feb 10, 2010
I get sick of people calling me sick and cruel because my pets are a little unusual. People assume because you have sugar gliders and hedgehogs or even more exotic animals like fennecs (no I dont have fennecs), rather than rabbits and guinea pigs that you are cruel, and that you have an imprisoned wild animal that hates living in your home. These people have never met me or my animals, they usually have no idea about the animals in question or the species in question, or even how long their own pets have been domesticated, its really aggravating.
It could be argued the only truly domestic pet is the dog, POSSIBLY the cat. I have news for some people. A pet rabbit or small rodent like a hamster is NOT domesticated like a dog. Some of these species animals have been domesticated for just a hundred years, maybe a LITTLE more, and many come from bloodlines more recently caught in the wild. That does NOT make your pet domesticated, in fact pet SKUNKS have been domesticated as long as some small rodents (skunk fur farming began in the early 1800’s and people have been keeping skunks as pets since that time). There are reports of people keeping sugar gliders back in the early 1900’s, and parrots have been being kept as pets since ancient civilisations. There is a reason animals like rabbits and hamsters need a lot of handling to become friendly, and why a lot of rabbits hate being picked up…because it is their wild INSTINCT, just like my sugar gliders wild instinct is to glide to safety (and by the way, they consider ME the safest tree in the forest). Even cats, if a pet cat becomes stray and her kittens arent used to human contact within a certain point, it is likely those kittens are never going to make good pets.
Sorry for the rant people. But I just want to alert people to the fact that although you think your bunny is domestic just because it has lop ears and a short face and fancy colour, unlike the wild bunnies out there, doesnt mean its any tamer than my pet sugar gliders. Rabbits have been domesticated in the western nations since the 1800s, the same amount of time as skunks. Its not exactly a huge amount of time, now is it?
And lastly, what is considered exotic now will be normal in ten years time, and people will be picking on other people for owning something ELSE. Think about it, 30 years ago a snake keeper would have gotten very funny looks and a lot of comments about craziness and cruelty, now snake keeping is common, snakes are barely considered exotic any more. The same has happened with pet chinchillas and degus, and I’m betting in 20 years sugar gliders and hedgehogs will be completely normal pets to have.
I think we should all learn to have a little more tolerance for peoples choices, in everything not just pet keeping. As long as the owner can provide the space, the time, the money and the pet CAN be socialised into becoming a happy pet (and I am of the opinion that there are animals that cannot be tamed, such as most of the apes and monkeys, and very large cats, and for some odd reason, a lot of squirrels), wheres the problem?
Rant over. What are your thoughts on exotic pets?
LOL, oops I didnt realise how long that post was/
Eileen, interesting point. I am not against the keeping of monkeys, but I have yet to see a case where adult monkeys are fully tamed…generally you get a lot of aggression with monkeys its just the way they behave. You certainly have your right to have them, and its great that you have more than one, I just hate these people that treat them as children and dress them in human clothes. Apes…well, I’ve yet to hear of any private individual who could provide for a chimp who wasnt a millionaire with tonnes of primate experience.
I agree with you, but I think ALL exotic pets should be treated the same as so called domestic ones. Unless all pet owners support each other, the animal rights groups will make it so no one may own any pet. They start with banning the large cats and the pit bull type dog breeds, then gradually ban other types of pets. Now they are trying to pass HR699, the Nonnative Wildlife Invasion Prevention Act, that would ban just about any pet other than a domestic dog, cat or goldfish. When they are done banning the big cats, wolves, bears and primates, they will come after the rest of the pet owners. Don’t believe me? Just look at the mandatory spay/neuter laws they are passing everywhere. These are animal rights backed bills to help eliminate pet dogs.
Why should someone with a skunk or hedgehog have any more right to keep the pet they choose then those that keep a serval or a monkey? African serval cats have been kept in captivity by the ancient Egyptians, long before most exotic pets generally accepted today as being domesticated were. They were brought to this country before 1904.
If someone has the resources and knowledge to properly care for an animal, they should be allowed to own any animal they wish. I know people that spend a ton of money developing nice enclosures with running water and even waterfalls and high tech security systems to protect their pets from intruders. Owners of large exotics have established husbandry courses to teach fellow owners how to properly care for their animals. They also help each other out by helping to build secure cages.
Animal rights groups use the excuse that these large exotics are a threat to public safety and health. If you look at the statistics, about 20% of all attacks by big cats were at AZA zoos, with about another 38% at USDA facilities. When you look at escapes by primates, 49% were at AZA zoos. Large exotic owners have a much better track record of keeping these animals than so called experts.

Tree ‘found in man’s lung’
A fir tree has reportedly been found growing inside a man’s lung during surgery for suspected cancer in Russia.
The 5cm sapling was discovered by surgeons when they operated on Artyom Sidorkin, 28, to remove what they thought was a tumour, according Russian television reports.
Vladimir Kamashev, one of the surgeons operating of Sidorkin, said he was "shocked" when he cut into Sidorkin’s lungs during the routine operation and discovered a small fir tree inside.
I bet they never cedar before
how hard is it to grind down tree stumps?
Posted by admin on Feb 8, 2010
We have many small to medium sized trees which we plan to cut down and grind the stumps in order to grow grass. (half the trees are dead) Is a stump grinder difficult to handle?
Driving a Semi Truck is not hard for a trained driver. Operating a stump grinder is a bit like handling a large rototiller. Louder (ear [protection), more dusty, Compared to cutting the trees down and bucking the brush, loading or mulching it up, the stumps will go quickly. Why not get a back hoe service and dig em up? No pesky regrowth, no settling.

now…do any of my pets look abused? i dont thinkso…
i also just got 2 zebra finches yesterday
but they are a little shy still..ill get pics
soon.
i dont know BuG but it seems like every anti hunter trys to say we do….
How can they compare Mike Vick with a hunter? Makes no sense to me.
Your critters look great, as well do ours. Sorry, been meaning to do the photobucket thing, but haven’t yet. So I’ll fill your ear a minute here…
We have 4 horses, and one is a coming 30 year old gelding with special needs in his old age. I’ve owned him for 28 years. When his time is up, I want his hide on our wall. It might be morbid to do this to some people, but someday I want to be buried with his hide wrapped around me. He is a once in a lifetime horse. Two are starves I bought cheap last winter. The bones are fading. The other is "Sam Colt", the guy on my avatar.
We had to put my mare down last winter, she had cancer and thankfully my boyfriend could pull the trigger. She was my main saddle horse and I knew I couldn’t do it. She went in a good way. One shot and she wasn’t suffering any more. That was a man doing what needed to be done for the animal, not abuse.
Dogs? Our blueticks have a deluxe kennel and a stern "growl" from us puts them in their place. No other abuse needed. They are so eager to please. They are hunting fools!
Trapping, well, that’s a different story. We lost 2 of our farm cats in our traps this winter. They also didn’t suffer and were never abused. The cats around here come running when they hear a gun (visitors are confused) cuz a pidgeon or squirrel might be involved.
They didn’t choose us, we chose them. They eat before we do!
