Total spazz!!!

Well, I took Dingo to the vet today to have a benign tumor removed. It was a new vet, so he ws a little anxious in the waiting room.So, we get brought back and he won't let the tech touch him. No growling, no teeth, just moving away. The vet comes in and sees Dingo is scared, so he asked the tech to muzzle him. Fine by me. Well she tried and failed. I could see she was scared, so I muzzled him for her. Vet comes back and tries to look at the trumor and he freaks. :climbing the wall, trying to get under the chair and then to top it off, he expresses his anal glands.Peee-youuu!.Vet finally gets him on the table and gives him an anesthetic and all was well. Dingo is such a spazz at the vet and I was so embarrased. My normally, very well behaved dog is a nutcase, when it comes to the vet.

oh poor thing, it probably was a combination of everything. I take Romeo to the vet all the time, to say hello, to buy his treats, etc. because he is such a love bug, he gets petted by all the ladies and he absolutely loves it, so he sees the vet's as a good place.

Poor Dingo!

You would swear they were drawing and quartering him from the way Pofi shrieks at the vet. At least this was the case after a bite in a painful and sensitive area at dog park and subsequent examination, etc. Like Olinda, I tried to desensitize him. Mia had a few appointments when we were battling infections from her spay and he went to every one of those. He'd get treats and pets, we'd put him on the scale. Sometimes I'd even just do "drive bys" - we'd head over there, get out, visit, treat, pet, treat, scale, treat and after the drive bys and Mia's appointments, we'd also go to a nearby dog park. The last time he had to go for treatment (had gotten something wedged between his toes and I wanted to be sure there was no puncture), it went MUCH better. He's still a coward, but he did not quite go insane!
