This is the last time.. Bye Baby:(

[critter crazy]

I am not trying to start anything, but how is keeping a dog in a muzzle 24/7, good for the dog??? Seems pretty cruel to me. I definitely think placing the dog, in a home without any other dogs, is a heck of a lot better, than it being in a muzzle 24/7. As long as the new owner is fully aware of the dogs behavior issues, and is willing to fully take on the Responsibilities. I would not enjoy seeing my dog in a muzzle. It would just kill me.

The muzzle still allows Baby to pant, drink, and basically go about her normal life. She can even take food and treats from your hand. She is just not able to open her mouth wide to bite. There is nothing cruel about it -- she is still able to do everything normally -- it would be more cruel to the other dogs to leave it off. She acts happy and normal.

Baby really doesn't seem to mind wearing the muzzle on a regular basis. She does try to get it off once in a while, which is to be expected. When she is fed (by her self no other dogs around) she gets the muzzle taken off..

As well as when she goes to bed. Since shes been sick with that soft tissue infection she has been ordered to have at least a nap a day, and she sleeps through the whole night WITHOUT the muzzle on. So its not like she lives her WHOLe existance with the muzzle on, there really is no need for the muzzle when the other FEMALE dogs arnt around.

And Callie, that post you made, really doesn't apply what-so-ever to this delicate situation.
