My dog is such a dumbass he would spit out the immortality pill even if I cover it with peanut butter
I have 2 dogs, 1 that does this and 1 that eats everything including cat shit from the litter box. That dumbass will live forever if I give him this pill, because he’d eat his sister’s too.
Oh don’t get me wrong, mine will eat basically anything. The only thing that he will fuss about is pills. He’ll eat random nuts, berries, and discarded food on the ground when I take him for a walk, but God forbid I try to give him his flea&tick for the month
That dropped apostrophe on “sister’s” makes that ominous on first read
Ack, yeah. We’ll blame the crap Vision Pro virtual keyboard. I wanted to go back and fix it, but I find the stupid thing is way too sensitive and watch as it deletes my entire paragraph.
Have you tried something like a Pill Pocket?
My goldie-mutt would spit out every pill I ever gave her no matter how much cheese or peanut butter it was buried in, but since we started using these she gobbles them up instantly. The ding dong thinks she’s getting a treat everyday but joke’s on her, it’s her medicine.
Pill pockets worked on my cat twice. After that he was like “waitaminute! This is medicine!” So now I put the pill in the pocket and just shove it down his throat and he gets real treats afterwards.
That’s probably because your cat chews her food, while my pupper inhales food as if she’s never gonna eat again, despite what every past day in her life might indicate. 😂
Really? Our cat acts like pill pockets are frickin crack. She’s like “GIVE ME PILL POCKETS NOW!”
Or have you guys tried giving the pill alone? My cat has multiple pills every day, I always saw my dad give my dogs pills growing up, you put it on the back of their tongue and they can’t help but swallow it. A little neck massage and some coaxing with gentle head pets and holding their head back has always worked for me. My cat doesn’t even get up when she’s lying down and hears me open the pills. She perks her head up, almost like she looks forward to it. She’s a weirdo.
When my doggo was younger, we would just do that- drop it in the back of her throat then hold her mouth shut and massage her throat to encourage her to swallow. But now that she’s on a vet-prescribed regimen for probably the rest of her life, it’s just easier to pop a pill in the meat pouch since she just gobbles them up.
The article doesn’t say how this works at all.
It sounds awesome, but I’d like to know more about it before I gave my dog a magic chewable.
LOX-002 inhibits insulin like growth factor 2 which is thought to reduce useful lifespans of dogs through some metabolic mechanism
wait. metformin does the same thing.
Leftists: Only the rich will get the longevity drugs!
Reality: Let’s give it to the dogs…
edit: And they fucking deserve it, after what we did to them by years of selective breeding!
Reality: “let’s test it on the dogs.”
How do people not see that this is the ultimate subscription fee?
Yeah, because surely the drug is the same…
People will try taking it.
hydroxychloroquine 💅🤦♂️
That shit is poison. I’ll take a monthly covid infection if I can get rid of the hcq.
Oh my god, they will
Plot twist: it turns you into an immortal furry-anthro-dog
Sold. Beats NOT being immortal. If im immortal ill have time to fix it, eventually
Do you want a fate worse than death? Because that’s how you get a fate worse than death.
I feel like people are learning nothing from Black Mirror. If you’ve got an out before immortality is discovered, you take it.
I’m fine with the chances. We only get one life and I would like to see a much of it i can before it’s curtains.
I got to experience life before and after the interenet already. Want to see what other revolutions will happen and how the world changes
And I can make an educated guess as to who will be suggesting it.
Coulda used that sometime before last week :/
If it’s any condolences, it’s probably still a few years away from public access.
I’m sorry mate that you lost your doggo. Take care
Damn maybe that one crackhead that kidnapped a scientist to make a dog live forever was onto something.
Ok, but now people.
Doesn’t that guarantee you’ll die of cancer instead? Or gruesome accidents. Or both.
Is there any research going on for anti-aging in cats yet?
There is a vaccine that is supposed to prevent kidney failure in cats, causing their life expectancy to double
Awesome
I was trying to figure out why the one dog in this picture looked so weird
Turns out it’s two dogs
What about for Senior Frogs???
I wanna be young at senior frogs!
What about Senior Hogs???
I believe pharmaceutical companies already sell drugs to temporarily give extra life to senior hogs.
