Maltese_Love - she had her teeth pulled a few years ago in a routine dental, not because of yesterday! That is the only way she was able to get her teeth in. I'm sure it hurt a little, but she still has enough teeth to eat dry food

Areias - Wow those stories sound horrible It is a little worse at a vet office. We can deny them service for boarding, but not for checkups and vaccines and other treatments. We don't deny service for Cocoa I'm guessing because she's usually only mean when it's time to give pills. The doctors decided yesterday to have the techs feed her and they will only feed small amounts and add the pills to her food. Putting the pills in her food has never worked before but hopefully since it will only be small amounts she will be hungry enough to eat them!

We denied ever boarding a GSD again about 2 months ago. He bit for no reason, although he never broke the skin. A lot of times we get dogs that bite and are aggressive and it's usually the little ones, and since they're small we continue to board them. We usually deny service for the large dogs but there is a husky that comes in that bites for no reason. And he hurts! I don't know if the doctors even know that he bites -- I've never told them. I've come up with some really creative ways to handle him so that I don't get bitten But he's coming in over New Years and I'll be working so we'll see how that goes!
