STOP DROPPING OFF DOMESTIC DUCKS AT LAKE MERRITT!
Yesterday I went to take a walk around lake Merritt and saw an injured pekin duck and its mate/friend. I stayed with them for about an hour or so until I was able to get a rescue that would come and capture them as all rescues were closed at this point. My heart breaks for these poor babies- they were so weak but now now and receiving veterinary care. One is in critical condition but they are both still alive and heading to the vet.
These are domestic animals that cannot survive in the wild! If you ever see an all white duck please please call a wildlife rescue or Oakland animal services. It is unfortunately so common to see people dump their pet ducks off at lake Merritt meanwhile that’s basically a death sentence for them.
Also to the group of people picking up the clearly distressed partner/mate duck that was crying and pacing to take pictures with it- fuck you.
I also had to fend off so many dogs from getting close to the injured one. I had some woman call me a bitch for telling her to watch her dog that was lunging at other water fowl. ☹️☹️
Update: unfortunately the female duck had to be humanely euthanized as she was no longer able to walk/be mobile and was septic. The male is doing well. Rest in peace little one. 😔

Pain once I stopped working out
So I’ve pretty much consistently walked or done some sort of strength training 4 to 5 times a week for years now. I’ve been going through a lot of difficult shit and definitely have been too depressed to be as physically active as I’ve liked the past few weeks. I started getting this weird ache in my legs that just won’t go away. And they feel very very heavy. It finally freaking clicked that this is the pain people are talking about. I know exercise helps with circulation. I have definitely been too depressed to dry brush and massage gun my legs lately as well. And honestly this realization made me cry because I’ve been to multiple doctors that told me because I don’t experience pain, I can’t possibly have this disease. But clearly I do have pain. I was just able to manage it very well. Thankfully, the last doctor I saw who’s a vascular surgeon believes I have it and just wants to follow up with me in a few few months. Why don’t doctors acknowledge that if you work out that can improve circulation and most likely the pain? I just feel like I’m constantly dismissed and it’s so frustrating. anyways just wanted to see if anybody has experienced the same thing when it comes to working out and pain.

LOT Polish Airlines vegan meals
Gotta give credit where credit is due- probably the best vegan meal I’ve had on a long haul flight with any airline so far

Best Oakland veterinary clinics with ER services?
Hi everyone,
My current vet office in Berkeley (Berkeley dog & cat) is discontinuing their 24hr ER so I was wondering if there’s any good ones with ER service in Oakland? Also willing to travel a bit. I have utilized the ER a handful of times in 3 years and would like my vet to have one just in case. Thank you!
