OUR WONDER DOG "GEORGE" IS HAVING HIS LIP FIXED TODAY--SOME SORT OF "BLEMISH" REMOVED... BUT IT INVOLVES ANESTHESIA AND THAT WORRIES ME--- BECAUSE OF MY DOG "BROWNIE" WHO HAD SURGERY AND WAS PUT IN A METAL "CRATE" TO WAKE UP-- AND GOT SO SCARED AT TEH METAL NOISE OF HEAD BANGING THAT FOREVER HE WOULD "COME APART" IF HE HEARD ANYTHING SIMILAR-- LIKE A GARBAGE CAN LID... RUINED HIM FOR SERVICE WORK... SO NATURALLY-- I AM WORRIED. NORMAL PEOPLE OFTEN JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND-- SPECIALLY IF THEY HAVE THE "IT'S JUST A DOG" MENTALITY... IT IS A BUSINESS.. THROW HIM IN A CRATE...THOUSANDS OF COCKERSPANIELS HAVE SURVIVED WITH NO PROBLEM WHY SHOUlD A service dog get special treatment??? that is because it makes no difference if a cocker spaniel panics at teh sound of pots and pans.
to watch george concentrate on bella and where she puts her feet- is an astounding sight. he has the problem down pat... to take the slightest chance with him makes no sense. VETS... VET TECHS AND GENERAL KENNEL HELP DO THINGS WITH SMALL DOGS THAT I JUST DO NOT APPROVE OF WITH DANES...-- LIKE LIFTING THE HEAD VERTICALLY- TO GET IT OUT OF THE WAY FOR SHOTS ETC..-- SIDEWAYS IS FINE-- NOT VERTICALLY WITH MY DOGS-- I HAVE SEEN 2 DOGS WHO BECAME GROSSLY UNSOUND AFTER THAT WAS DONE-- COULD BE CO INCIDENCE?? MAYBE-- BUT..... EXPERIENCE OFTEN COMES FROM BAD EXPERIENCE....SO WHY CHANCE IT... HUMOR THE OLD LADY.... JUST DON'T DO THAT.
SO I AM WAITING TO HEAR WHERE HIS SURGERY IS...-- TEHY LIVE RIGHT NESXT TO A VET OFFICE SO MAYBE--- BUT THAT VET HAS NOT BEEN WARNED ABOUT GREAT DANE PECULIAR NATURE.
