Thank you very much for the links - will read them. It would certainly take some stress off the situation whilst we get to grips with the handling problems! Just to add - last year he was held by his lead trapped in the door whilst he had the jab - he banged his eye which ended up swollen and red an...

We are also struggling with this - done all the visits etc - no problem - until the vet or anyone approaches. Muzzle training not going well either - VERY slow progress. Quite desperate now as annual jab is now overdue. We've had 2 visits recently with supposed sedatives given by vet to use - neithe...

I've been following this advice and now Chico hardly reacts to other dogs (just the odd one who for some reason best known to himself he just can't ignore ...) and he actually has made quite a few friends now - still work in progress but thanks Jacksdad and well done!!!

It looks like this has been missed by the experts so this will "bump" it up! I thnk they will want to know more about your daily routine ... how much exercise for instance ...

I knew you'd get some brilliant answers!!!

Oh dear! I'm not an expert at all but I'm sure one will be a long very soon and they will need as much information as you can give - how old, routine, feeding, exercise, training etc - they like LOTS of info in order to help so get some detail on ! Do not worry - help will come!!! PS You say you've ...

Firstly I am no expert but just want to say relatives or not PLEASE tell them this is so wrong - these poor dogs need their exercise and training - how can people just keep them penned up?? I think I would try walking them solo. They are not stupid - it's the only thing they're used to and anything ...

Been reading this interesting thread and it may be obvious but I can't work out what LAT stands for ... "look at ?" ?

Just reply to your own post with "bump"!

That's not good then as people watching will think it's OK because the vet was impressed ...

but why was the vet so impressed??

Yes I understand that - the dog looked like it had been hypnotised ...

This is so true - he's a different dog today thank goodness - not quite 100% but so much better - PHEW!! We shall be working harder when he is absolutely fine as I can't imagine the scenario if it happens again ... I happened to watch Cesar last night - he was helping a mobile vet who had tricky pat...

We will be changing vets so he can start again with no "history" /rememberance of the place but we need to get him over this illness. He seems perkier now - my daughters have called in and he greeted them with some enthusiasm - he went off into the garden with them and he wanted to play. I...

My husband phoned the vet today - they suggested putting a blanket over him - there's no way we will be able to do that - and get him to the surgery. He's eaten some scambled egg today but no chicken (and that's usually gobbled down). He must have vomited yesterday as a patch was found in garden. He...
