okay the wolfstar with the reader one was v cute so now i feel like i also want to request something cuddly and fluffy with remus—maybe just some cozy cuddling on a lazy weekend morning while remus is reading and the reader is still sleepy?

lazy weekend with remus mfing lupin >> everything in the whole world ever The quote is from Maurice, by E. M. Forster which is a great read and a great watch I highly recommend it. <3

"Good morning, beautiful," Remus sang.

Golden sunlight shone through the windows, the boys were out at quidditch practice. Just you and Remus alone in the dorm, buried under soft, warm sheets.

You hummed, rolling over in the sheets and nuzzling into his neck. He chuckled softly, his voice still rough from sleep. He wrapped his arms around you.

"Tired," you mumbled, words muffled by his skin. "Cold."

"My baby cold?" He cooed.

Remus sat up, grabbed a sweater from the end of his bed and pulled it over your head. You hummed happily, curling back into Remus's chest. He was warm, a living furnace. Heat radiated off his bare chest in waves.

"You going back to sleep, puppy?" He asked.

"Maybe," you yawned.

Remus kissed your forehead softly. Your eyes fluttered closed. Remus admired you for a moment, your skin glowing in the late morning light. He traced the slope of your nose and the line of your top lip with a ghostly touch, before pulling you into his side and reaching for the book on his nightstand.

"You reading?" Remus hummed and nodded. "Read to me?"

Remus sighed and cleared his throat. He pressed another kiss to your forehead and began.

"A happy ending was imperative. I shouldn't have bothered to write otherwise. I was determined that in fiction anyway two men should fall in love and remain in it for the ever and ever that fiction allows, and in this sense, Maurice and Alec still roam the greenwood."

You were asleep again before the chapter was finished. Remus continued reading quietly, the sun heating his face deliciously. You snored softly, occasionally shifting in your sleep, nuzzling closer and hugging tighter.

You woke up a few times to press lazy kisses to the skin on his bared neck. Sloppily trailing your way up his jaw to his lips, tongue sliding into his willing mouth. Loving kisses with the fire crackling quietly in the background.

You spent most of your majority snoozing, Remus reading nearly the entire book. You twisted under sheets, eventually forcing Remus to shut his book and turn his attention to you.

You cuddled until the boys came bustling in, boisterous and sweaty, shouting and laughing and causing a raucous. And then the two of you were forced out of bed to spend time with your friends, but that wasn't so bad.

You'd be back in bed this evening anyway.

Hi so regarding the ask about Forster treating Clive with disdain, I personally feel it could also be something of an internal conflict for him? You know how we sometimes hate certain aspects of our life, our behaviour or our circumstances? Although he was out to a few friends, I think, he was still closeted which could be the basis of why he treats Clive in such a manner. Not to forget "I was determined that in fiction anyway two men should fall in love and remain in it for the ever and ever that fiction allows, and in this sense Maurice and Alec still roam the greenwood" because it sort of tells us that Forster's Maurice is an ideal, if not the reality of the time period it is set in. And so, maybe, Clive does not fit that ideal? ( i think it's still vague I can't really explain lmao)

then again, everything can be subjectively interpreted

helloo and yupp v valid point, like maurice and alec were definitely the ideal and clive’s fate was often the reality for most queer people of that time, with H. O. M being a great example. forster may have also added a bit of himself in that character too, being in the closet for most of his life and not publishing maurice bec it would expose him and his family and bob buckingham to attacks

so yeah like it also illustrates how people, specifically queer people, werent all as brave or daring as maurice and alec, which is an interesting pov too and adds realism like not everyone would be willing to sacrifice wealth and position and take that risk for love, which is then represented in clive. as for forster’s disdain, it could v much part of his own disdain towards him being closeted (theres also a quote of his which goes like, ‘how annoyed I am with Society for wasting my time by making homosexuality criminal. The subterfuges, the self-consciousness that might have been avoided,’ which i think can be applied here)

Man Utd need point to reach Champions League after draw with West Ham

Mason Greenwood scored his 17th diagram of the season for Manchester United

Manchester United need some extent from their closing sport to clinch a Champions League spot after coming from at the lend a hand of to draw in opposition to West Ham, who confirmed their Premier League survival.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s aspect moved third, some extent before Leicester, who they face at the King Energy Stadium on Sunday.

However victory for Brendan Rodgers’ team will sigh the Purple Devils a spot in Europe’s elite club opponents next season – until fourth-positioned Chelsea lose both their final video games.

Within the interim, the level for David Moyes’ aspect guarantees Premier League football next season as they now lie four gains sure of the relegation zone.

Michail Antonio assign the Hammers forward in first-half of stoppage time with his eighth diagram in six video games after Paul Pogba gave away a penalty when he raised his fingers to block a Declan Rice free-kick.

Eighteen-365 days-old Mason Greenwood levelled with his 17th diagram of a stellar first season as a senior participant.

Either aspect had chances to take hold of it, with below-stress David de Gea producing a fingertip save to repel a deflected Jarrod Bowen effort and substitute Odion Ighalo become a near-submit effort huge at the replacement cease.

United already knew their efforts to true a top-four berth would tear the total manner down to the closing day at Leicester. However, the level means that, after being in fifth since February, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s aspect indulge in moved lend a hand into the top four for the first time since 14 September.

Relive the draw between Manchester United and West Ham

Greenwood the United large name

Though Solskjaer said genuine thru United’s pre-season tour of Australia he rated Greenwood as potentially the most productive finisher at the club, it used to be now not till December that he gave the Yorkshireman his first Premier League launch of the season.

Twenty-two video games on, it is miles laborious to mumble the line-up for considerable sport being picked with out him.

His most up-to-date clinical effort used to be his 10th in the league this term. Michael Owen’s improbable effort in 1997-98, when he scored 18, is the one time a teen has carried out larger since the Premier League used to be formed in 1992.

The intricate close passing with Martial which created the taking pictures replacement underlined that Greenwood is some distance extra than a goalscorer. It felt indulge in he used to be taking responsibility when other, extra skilled, team-mates had now not.

Owen went to a World Cup after his stellar season. Greenwood has overtime and, though he will restful be a teenage when the European Championships originate next summer season, on this evidence it would possibly perchance most likely well presumably be no shock to gape him integrated in Gareth Southgate’s squad.

The diagram used to be very crucial for United, who indulge in failed to take hold of successive home video games for the first time in nearly six months, however indulge in the revenue at unprejudiced the noteworthy time as Solskjaer looks to come the club lend a hand to one thing indulge in their ragged selves.

Moyes on a mission

At half of-time, Moyes marched in opposition to the dressing rooms with a look for of option on his face. He must moreover indulge in been feeling of good satisfaction.

Moyes used to be sacked as United boss in April 2014, lower than a season genuine into a six-365 days contract as Sir Alex Ferguson’s successor.

Within the make-up to the sport, Moyes said the one difference between him and Solskjaer used to be that the Norwegian used to be given time.

The statistics suggest Moyes has some extent. Solskjaer’s outcomes in his first 51 video games as United boss are broadly akin to the Scot, who obtained two video games extra, however misplaced an additional one as smartly.

The horrible difference is that Moyes used to be now not a legendary figure at Primitive Trafford and by no means scored an injury-time diagram to take hold of a Champions League closing. It means no-one will ever know if he will indulge in become around a nefarious first season.

However, attributable to Antonio, who has scored extra dreams in the previous 22 days than he has managed in both of the 2 outdated seasons, we cease know Moyes has twice dragged West Ham sure of a deadly pain in a relegation combat.

Not like two years ago, as soon as they ditched the Scot in favour of Manuel Pellegrini, West Ham seem sure to stick with Moyes, who has already told the club he needs them to launch promising less and turning in extra.

Man of the match – Mason Greenwood (Man Utd)

Greenwood scored his 10th Premier League diagram of the season for Manchester United

What next?

United cease the season with a crunch sport at Leicester whereas West Ham host Aston Villa. The total closing video games kick off at 16: 00 BST on Sunday.

Greenwood keeps on increasing – the stats

Manchester United indulge in obtained 10 of their 19 home league video games this season (D7 L2); only in 2016-17 (eight) and 2013-14 (9) indulge in they earned fewer home victories in a Premier League advertising and marketing campaign.

West Ham indulge in restful eight gains in their closing 5 Premier League video games in opposition to United (W2 D2 L1), extra than they managed in their outdated 18 league encounters (seven gains – W1 D4 L13) between Might perchance 2008 and August 2017.

Solskjaer’s aspect are unbeaten in 13 Premier League video games (W8 D5), which is now the Norwegian’s most productive roam in the opponents with the Purple Devils and his most productive league roam in his managerial occupation with a single club.

West Ham indulge in dropped 26 gains from winning positions in the Premier League this season, extra than some other team in the opponents in 2019-20.

Man Utd’s Greenwood has change into the first participant to ranking 10 Premier League dreams in a season as a teen since Romelu Lukaku in 2012-13 (14), and the first English participant to whole so since Wayne Rooney in 2004-05 (11).

No teen has ever scored extra dreams in a single season in all competitions for United than Greenwood (17 – level with George Easiest in 1965-66, Brian Kidd in 1967-68 and Rooney in 2004-05).

West Ham’s Antonio has scored eight dreams in the Premier League since the restart, the joint-most of any participant alongside Raheem Sterling. He now has 10 Premier League dreams this season – his most productive tally in a single advertising and marketing campaign in the opponents.

Trace Noble has created 14 goalscoring chances in West Ham’s closing two away league outings (8 v Norwich, 6 v Man Utd), one extra than his outdated 18 away league appearances mixed beforehand.

20 Questions with Dr Ferox #8

My gosh, there’s just so much stuff you vetlings want to know, isn’t there? Well, knowledge is good, so here we go with yet another info dump as I try to answer a big slew of your questions in one hit.

Anonymous said: I sometimes get your patreon emails or an update on your blog while I'm studying/struggling in the wee-hours of the morning (vetmed). I'm in WA, so where-ever you are it's also late/early. What are you doing up in the witching hours?

First of all, I am an AdultTM and as such I am permitted to set by own Bed Time. There are many reasons why you might receive notifications from me so ‘early’.

I have a blog post on queue every morning between 5am and 6am my time (so probably 3am and 4am your time). It goes up automatically, so I can see initial responses before I go to work.

I think Patreon sends its emails at the same time each day, regardless of when I post. I certainly don’t type there early in the morning.

Sometimes I’m on nightshift and can get kinda bored at 3am sometimes.

Sometimes I just can’t sleep, especially with the changing day/night cycles.

Most of the blog runs on queue, honestly. At least three posts a day do.

@banesidhe said: Just happened to discover your blog. Thank you so much for posting like you do (even the snark. I'm a 911 dispatcher, I appreciate the snark ;) ), and sharing your experiences. No vet question, but if you could only ever re/read five books for the rest of your life, which five titles would make your cut?

Ah, I have found many similar people to myself among emergency personnel. There’s a particular combination of gallows humor and wishing people would get to the point that unites us.

For fiction books:

Feral, Kerry Greenwood

The Shepherd’s Crown, Terry Pratchett

Monstrous Regiment, Terry Pratchett

Watership Down, Richard Adam

Good Omens, Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman

Hmm, bit of a trend there.

But the work books I couldn’t live without are:

Plumb’s Veterinary Drug Handbook

The 5 minute veterinary consult, Dog and Cat Edition

Ettinger’s Textbook of Internal Medicine, Expert Consult

BSAVA Rabbit Medicine & Surgery Handbook

Small Animal Surgery, Fossum.

Anonymous asked: what was the most exotic/rare patient youve ever had?

This fat meerkat.

Anonymous said: My dog is a shelter dog and we suspect she was abused before we got her (afraid of E V E R Y T H I N G) and weve been slowly working on getting her to at least ignore people we walk past or that enter the house and thats been making progress. But she hates the vet. Hates it. Gets in my lap and refuses to leave. New dogs people and smells. So her normal vet takes the approach of having one of us hold/console her while they do all the poking and listening and whatnot and muzzling her if they need to and just getting it done as quickly as possible. But this last time she saw a new vet and this vet took the approach of hand-feeding her almost an entire bag of treats and called it "stress-eating" and tbh you should have seen the look on my dogs face. She was so weirded out. Shes highly food motivated so it was like heaven to her but she was simultaneously very suspicious. Her face was like"i love this but idk if i trust it" it was great.Have a greatday!

If you an reinforce the behaviour by arranging frequent, short visits to the vet clinic where nothing happens but lots of treats, she may start to associate the vet clinic with positive things (food) ad no scary things. This might make the rest ofher life easier.

Anonymous said: I own fancy rats and just want to put out there to people, that while they are THE MOST amazing tiny friends, in my experience most vets are completely lost when it comes to their care & several I've seen refused to even touch my exceptionally friendly females. They often get respiratory infections requiring antibiotics. One of my friend's females passed away bc nobody would perform a simple surgery on her. So please be cautious when buying them.

I would like to suggest that any surgery on a rat is likely to be not simple, because they do have particular anesthetic requirements that can make their recovery difficult. Also that a lot of traditional rat medicine hinges on using post mortem examination as a diagnostic tool, which is not useful at all with pet rats.

In dog and cat medicine most of our equipment and even medications are not suitable for rats, or very difficult to adapt. We simply have fewer options, and generally less experience with these species Most vets I know will attempt to treat them, but with a great big disclaimer saying I don’t do this often, and a quick question as to whether you’d prefer to go to a nearby clinic that does see rats more often.

Anonymous said: Hello, I recently took in 3 abandoned kittens and they're covered in fleas. They appear to be 6 weeks old and can't use meds or wash for them. I clean them with vinegar and dish soap and I was wondering if you knew of any other ways to help them since they hate getting wet. I also use a comb but they dislike that as well.

You can use capstar on kittens from 4 weeks of age, and Revolution from 6, probably earlier. Talk to your vet.

Anonymous asked: Strange question but do you know if that rage syndrome thing can happen in cats also? I know a cat who does that and also acts strangely in general at the same time?

It is not documented in cats, however Feline Hyperesthesia Syndrome may present in a similar way.

Anonymous said: Hey doc! I plan on getting my cat fixed soon and I'm worried about how it'll affect her. She's really skittish and prefers to stay in one room, could getting her fixed make it worse?? I guess like what are the possible behavioral effects is what I'm askin? For the qt: ive been here a while i just dont like or reblog stuff but i came for the vet knowledge and stayed for it too, especially the mythical creatures and dog breed info

She is probably not going to have any long term personality changes from being desexed, though might be out of sorts for a few days after the anaesthetic. If anything they tend to be less stressed because they’re not attracting Toms.

Another Anonymous said: My kitten was neutered yesterday and he's doing great, healing well, playing nonstop, remarkably agile despite the e-collar (navigating small spaces, jumping to high places), eating & drinking well. The vet didn't give us any aftercare instructions but I googled it -- and wish I'd done so before the surgery because I could've prepared better. A lot of it seemed obvious in hindsight but nothing I'd have thought of on my own. Do you have a flier or anything for your patients' humans?

We send our patients home with aftercare instructions. We have a default one that we print for routine surgery like desexing, and a customized one for non-routine procedures.

We also read it out to our clients when they pick up their pet, and point out that all these instructions are written down, because it’s easy to forget details when you’re worried.

Anonymous asked: I have a question! I saw your desexing cats post and thought I might send it to you. I neutered my male cat but he still sprays and tries to roam the neighborhood. I try to keep him inside best I can. Is there a reason this happens?

It may be stress, but you should consult your vet to rule out any underlying urinary tract issue before assuming so. Your vet should be able to discus the various stress reducing techniques, changes and treatments that are available.

Anonymous asked: Whenever my roommate wakes up before me, she makes bacon for breakfast while the coffee is brewing. If she hasn't slept well, her coherence is sometimes a bit... lacking. If our cat happens to demand food, about half the time she ends up giving him a slice of bacon instead of cat food. We only recently figured out that she's been doing this. He's not getting fat, and gets actual cat food later, so is this OK, or do we need to try to figure out how to keep this from happening?

While bacon is certainly digestible, it is not a balanced diet. It would be ideal if you could minimize his bacon habit.

@nowgovanish said: Hello! I have a question about my 13 and 4 year old cats. They seem to have some pretty bad skin reactions to certain foods, and I've tried a lot of different food brands that my vet reccommended. The one that seems to work best is a grain free/ non chicken variant, but I see that you aren't a huge fan of grain free. Is there anything I should change or try sticking with what works?

I have said many times before that if it’s working, keep feeding it.

Novel protein diets, and ideally single proteins source diets, are more use for allergies than just going ‘grain free’.

‘Grain Free’ labelling on food particularly vexes me because it’s not regulated. You can find ‘grain free’ food that really mean ‘corn free’ and either use grain byproducts or straight up use rice. Last time I checked, rice was a grain.

It’s like ‘Hollistic’ - it means nothing on a pet food label. Neither does ‘Organic’, pet food companies do not have to use all organic products in pet food to label the food as organic. These are marketing ploys like ‘all natural’ which are targeting your emotions and don’t mean anything when it comes to the food.

If you’ve come across a novel protein diet, or a minimum ingredient diet, that is beneficial for your cats then stick with it. But recognise what’s marketing and what’s useful.

Anonymous said: I love my dog but he is a complete and total moron. He has strangled himself so often that his bark is now raspy. He even found a way to do it with a harness! We've resorted to jogging when walking him to try and keep up but is there some way to make it better? We've tried letting him learn on his own, pausing when he pulls, and getting a longer leash. If he was much smarter I'd accuse him of being into asphyxiation.

I would suggest that you potentially need to figure out what motivates your dog most. Consider using positive reinforcement to encourage him to heel on the lead, instead of wandering and pulling.

You might also want to consider something like a halti collar, which pulls the dog’s nose downwards to their chest when they pull, instead of something that goes around the neck.

Anonymous: Would you consider it a good generalization that dogs more closely resembling/related to wolves (like huskies) have less health problems? I am aware that no dogs are completely lacking in health problems. Tax: came for good hard factual analysis.

No. And here’s the thing- all modern dog breeds are equally distant from their wolf-like ancestor, unless they have been recently mixed with wolves again.

Their health problems are different to those dogs with more extreme anatomy, but dogs that look like wolves are not inherently healthier.

@justslowdown said: a book i have discusses the man who created the GSD breed (aka isolated traits from a diverse population) pairing dogs with their daughters, granddaughters, great-granddaughters and onwards til more than 1/2 of the pups had to be culled. due you think this could be partially responsible for the health issues remaining more than a century later? "Very drastic inbreeding was espoused during the formation of the breed [...] to quickly form specific type" - The German Shepherd Dog by Ernest H Hart

Certainly.

This is called line breeding, where the offspring of a ‘perfect’ individual are repeatedly bred back to the same individual generation upon generation to try to recreate it. All you really do is lose genetic diversity very quickly and allow recessive deleterious genes to proliferate in the population.

This is why just about everywhere else that’s not the purebred pet world, this is considered a bad thing to do.

@eyestumblin said: Do you think horses would look significantly different if their wonky anatomy were more logical?

They would no longer be a horse.

@cirque-du-spoon said: I saw you mention sheep on the horse thread and I spent a fair bit of time on a sheep farm in Wales. The head shepherd once told me "sheep are born, they spend the rest of their life trying to die". Then he opened his landrover door, and the passenger footwell was maybe 6 lambs snuggled up to one of his old motherly collies.

The common phrase down here was “The aim in life of a Merino ewe is to die and take fifty of her friends with her.” It’s not really much of an exaggeration.

Anonymous said: I'm intrigued to hear the faults of sheep, lay it on me!

Oh I will. It’s on my list for a big write up.

@queenalia said: Hi! I love the post about why horses make no sense, and I was wondering if you would do a similar one for sheep (one of the most suicidal animals on earth in my opinion)?

It will definitely be done sometime in the next few weeks. As you understand, it’s not quick answer.

@vulturegeorge said: Hey Dr.F, after reeding your "horses-are-spindily-legged-disasters" post and your comment about how sheep are worse, I was wondering if you wished to elaborate? I am currently working on a heard of 50 random sheep my uni bought with a ton of lung issues ... so it'd be super interesting to me. Question tax: came for the Lucifer story, stayed for all of your amazing advice & opinions. I hope you are finding balance between vetting and living. cheers!

I promise I will elaborate. I can’t leave a cliff hanger like that and not explain... eventually.
