It's not funny
12 years ago
Its not funny when we have to sedate your sharpei for a nail trim after we have fought with him been shit and pissed on and had anal glands expressed on us, and have pulled muscles trying to restrain your dog. Its not funny when your 11 month old bernese mountain dog is trying to bite the vet and you are feeding it treats and when it needs to be muzzled and two people to hold it just to clean its ears. Its not funny when your 150lb mastiff growls and barks and half lunges at me and then drags me around the clinic because it lacks leash manners away from you. All these thing are not funny to deal with and yet we deal with on a regular basis in the vet clinic i work at. Its frustrating because the owners expect us to work miracles and do procedures on dogs that we can't touch let alone do anything with. Please people train and socialize your dogs so that we can do our jobs safely for both us and your pet

1st scenario...It's not funny when we've all nearly got eaten and you go completely mad at me because I have to charge you $200 to sedate your giant mastiff for a nail trim! No, the pity card of "my husband left me yesterday" doesn't work. And if you can't control your dog when your now ex husband is gone...DO SOMETHING!

This client came in wanting the dog sedated because he was touchy with his feet. we tried with out sedation (sometimes owners exagerate) first then realized we really needed it. Even with sedation he didnt want to cooperate. They thought he had something sharp in his front paws... His feet where fine he was just an ill mannered intact male

You and Khei have a LOT in common on this... Just you get to sedate them.

I can't imagine not having that option and we do actually see a few animals that come from the groomers cause the groomer can't handle them (totally understandable) or we see some that we can barely handle and wonder how on earth the groomer managed to groom them
