I mentioned this in another thread but I think it needs attention here.
Taking Eddee to the vet ... he barked beyond barking ... barked straight in the vets face ... not mean ... just anxious ... no biting involved ... could not stand still ... wanted to jump off the table ... had to practically hog tie him to myself ... I had to take him in the back room of the waiting area to keep him calm and quiet ... and walk him around in my arms to calm him. He was a basket case. :/
I am so grateful the vet has a sense of humor ... I did not so much ... as Eddee gave me a work-out trying to hold him still for the exam and bloodwork and a bunch of scratches trying to do whatever it was he was doing.
This is the first time I have had him to the vets since I adopted him 7 days prior to this appointment. He must go back for his final boosters on May 16th ....
How to go about training this problem without calming drugs? He is not like this at home. :/
Take into account he is estimated to be between 10 months of age and one year old ... only 12.3 pounds ... and he just lost a crowded baby upper canine tooth two days ago ... puppy stuff?
