OMG Dexter is such a baby...I took him to the vet tonight (he had really irritated skin around his privates). He know has been there enough times to realize it's not the most pleasant place

He started crying as soon as we went in. On our way into the exam room he managed to jump out of his harness (I caught him before he could escape). He then jumped up on and gave a million kisses to his vet.

She determined he had a mild infection and a bunch of matts (due to excessive licking) so he got his privates shaved. He came back to the exam room and proceeded to climb in my lap when we waited for her to come back w/his meds. It's not like he's really had much bad done there (besides neutering), but it just makes him so anxious...and he seems to LOVE his vet...just the place makes him nervous.

Dex....I hope you get better soon!

Maya is just the opposite at her vet. Runs around like a little monkey. She likes to check everything out.

Hope Dex is better real soon !

AB is nervous at the vets, I have to make sure her butt stays on the floor so she doesnt do her nervous peeing.

I am very lucky in that my vet comes to my house most of the time
well except for his neutering and his last visit.
But he does not seem to mind going there it is just that she specializes in cats and easier for her to come here then freaking out all the kitties waiting to see the vet , as Denver thinks every cat in the world now belongs to him...........

They sense the fear and illness in other dogs by smell. I get the same way in hospitals and doctors offices... :wink: Jonah LOVES going to the vet, Rumor's ok, Miko HATES it!!

She has such an expressive face, those eyes are killers - I'd never be able to say no to her :wink:

i fall in love whenever i see mikos pics.. always wanted a parti. Sofie hates the vet, loves other dogs, and is weary of some people. Sometimes a good thing but i wish i could change that. shes so loving i hate to see her growl at some people. I will prolly talk to shannon and get some advice but if anyone here has any ideas feel free.. dont mean to hog the thread but its got me thinking

Dex....I hope you get better soon!

his mild infection doesn't seem to be affecting him at all We realized that Kirby has been licking a lot more than normal too (maybe they got something at Camp Bow Wow) :shock: My husband is off this Fri so I think he'll take him in for a check :roll:

And nothing worse than that licking sound! Glad it's nothing serious. Too chicken to take 2 at once huh?? :wink:

 

[lmtoth2]

Too chicken to take 2 at once huh??

absolutely. I'll go further and it's tough to take both of them with 2 adults. They just feed upon each other and it's quite the scene

Last time I took Jonah (yearlies) and Miko (her eyes)....I did them separately with one waiting in the car! My mamma didn't raise no dummies...... :wink:

LOL I used to take Heidipooh and Mollyann, our choc labs at the same time, one short leash with a coupler. They were so easy, Annabelle on the other hand wants to pull and go where I dont wanna go :roll:

not to be a downer but if he was licking because he was irrated ummm he is gonna really try to lick when he itches like mad because the hair that was shaved itches when it come back in you may find a little topical cortisone for the next few days to be a comfort to your baby.

good idea! after today, someone will be home with them until after the new year...i was thinking the shaving would make him more itchy too...

Tanner has really fine hair on his underside and I often have to trim between groomings so he doesn't mat. He still licks his willy a lot though...once he gets started, he won't quit

 

[MaxandMe]
