Ming gets savage every time he goes to the vet. He has opened up several vets and their assistants. Now, when I take him to the vet, I have to hold him while he is examined an if he stays overnight, I have to come to the back and retreive him from his cage. Yes, he has attacked me and opened some very deep wounds on me from both his claws and his teeth. I have never let that bother me at all. I understand that he was scared and that was his reaction to fear. Really, it is the only defense they have, isn't it? He is a complete love bug at home and I have never thought twice about playing with him or petting him. Cole was scared, NOT vicious, and the incident should be seen as that. He still loves you, trust me on that.
